I've always found it interesting that MS basically started LSP but C# has probably the worst LSP implementation I've ever seen. It's flat out broken. Rust, Go, Dart, etc all vastly superior. I recently opened up a powershell

So I get passing off if-then statements, mechanical turk/human intervention, or ChatGPT API calls as "AI". But is there a problem saying that a product that incorporates machine learning techniques is powered by AI? I ask bec

The bundling thing is interesting because the only streaming services I have are ones that come bundled with a different service (like HBO Max that comes with my internet plan) How long before someone cuts a deal with multiple streaming ser

The only where left to go is up (in price). Its cable all over again. One day people will look up and wonder how we got to $100/month bills for streaming services with ads and no binge watching for new content. And then we'll s

I'm actually really high on the metaverse. Not in the short term (next 5-ish years) but in the long term (15-20+ years). Oddly enough, it was the Unreal 5 Matrix demo that swayed me. I think super realistic graphics is the missing piec

Maybe in the crypto sense but what about the legal sense? Are there regulations in this area? I know regulations are light in the crypto world so it's a genuine question. Like my bank has my money as well. If possession is all that mat

And that's a good thing. Do you think the situation on Windows would be improved if Microsoft forced everyone to use their store? There is competition amongst stores and people outright reject software that is exclusive to a store that

Just another reason why messaging should be an open standard and not proprietary. I'm okay with the government forcing WhatsApp (and Apple too for that matter) to adopt the messaging standard.

Matter makes it a lot easier to mix and match products from different ecosystems. You can get 3 A19 nanoleaf RGB blubs that support Matter over Thread for the price of one Hue RGB A19. The Hue might be better but I doubt its 3 times bett

I really don't understand smart home hardware companies forcing communication through the cloud over local control. Do they think that they can get you hooked on the cloud and then charge you a monthly fee to turn on your lights? Plus

This article contains a link to a different article about Hong Kong coffin homes which I had never heard of them before. And wow....it's like some sort of cyberpunk dystopian nightmare turned reality.

I run on an ultra-wide with an 7900 XTX. And there was a specific bug (that was acknowledged in the AMD driver release notes) that causes crashes if dynamic resolution is turned on (dynamic resolution is turned on by default) so I had seve

Some 7900 XTX models can be found for as low as $950.

I have a 7900 XTX too but Starfield is a bit of an outlier. On average the 7900 XTX is usually a bit above a 4080 and well behind a 4090. Still great value since its cheaper than a 4080.

My account is roughly 19 years old. Registered for Half-Life 2. I bought it on disc but a steam account was required play. It was a very controversial move on those days.

Visual Basic was mostly used for LOB applications. That stuff mostly migrated to the web. When businesses decided to move those applications to the web, they had a choice between C# and VB.NET (if they stuck to the MS stack). C# ultimate

Part of this is just because AAA dev cycles are incredibly long now. Much, much longer than they used to be. Its to the point where its not unusual for a studio to only release 1 AAA game during a console generation (7-8 years). If they

Go would have been an interesting choice. Flutter would have been Go's defacto UI library and would have opened the language up for use in areas that it has no presence in today. I also think Flutter would have wider adoption if it use

The game was originally set to be released in September but they moved the release date of the PC version up to avoid Starfield. Presumably, they had to scramble to make this date. The PS5 version was not moved up either.

Its pretty clear that isn't the case since there are viable alternatives and people have to go out of their way to install Chrome to begin with. If most people hated it, they would just install Firefox instead (or use Edge or Safari)

This is good because Chrome on Wayland has been an adventure and not in a good way. This will certainly mean that Wayland will become a first class citizen and be less prone to random breakage.
