Last time I checked by default only a limited number of verified titles is playable with Proton, so if it appears in your list, it should work well. You can enable Proton for all your games, although then I think there is no way to disting

I always thought that /usr/local in FreeBSD was meant only for ports, not for custom software, and that is supposed to go in /opt. In any case I agree with the need of proper separation of app files. If we could adapt a bit t

And that it is not even the worst I have seen. I think the worst offenders are development tools like webpack. I have a small project that I work on from time to time which uses 5 libraries (react, a map library and a chart library), types

Not ridiculous. After the first town in north east Italy was put in quarantine (Vo Euganeo) the local governor decided to test the whole town for Coronavirus (a few thousand people). More than half of the infected people where without sympt

Dialup modems speak the protocol, or at least they used to, so it was possible to send or receive a fax without a physical copy of the document. Just by "printing" from word to the modem and entering a phone number. I remember wri

Postgresql supports storing range of values, in particular ranges of timestamps. I never used them but the manual page shows an example on avoiding overlaps that looks a lot like your case: https://www.postgresql.org/docs&#x

If those people would have survived without COVID-19, does the distinction really matter ? In any case I am convinced that the number of victims is probably much higher. There was an article where number of deaths was compared with previous

I think the main reason for the difference is that probably different country don't measure the cause of death in the same way. For example in Italy right now any person that dies that resulted positive to covid-19 test before or afte

The issue was not the presence of goto itself, but the fact that is was one of the main tools for flow control, while as you say it should be used sparingly. It is like having an army of soldiers armed with a David Crockett[1] instead of a

I used to be in the "implement from scratch" side, but these days my position is a lot more "it depends". My approach to deciding if using an external library or write the code goes more or less as follows: a) Limit your

I had a similar experience in my youth (just replace the MSX with a C64). The author is right when he says that programming a PC (either in DOS or Windows) was non obvious; but once you realized that the best way was to use a spreadsheet or

I use React and I find it fine. I don't use Redux though, so it may be the reason why we had different experiences. I think that just by using Hooks and Contexts you can get a lot done in a predictable way without adding too much comp

Is the issue with ZFS deduplication really due to the fact that it is done online ? From what I understand the way that ZFS works, the amount of ram used to keep deduplication metadata would be necessary even if the deduplication was done o

Bureaucracy should be treated as a computer program, you have to feed it exactly what it expects. If you give to a JSON parser an object with single quoted strings it is your fault if the parser complains even though it is quite clear what
