The homogeneity of a JavaScript codebase has a tenth the half-life of an "enterprise" lang/framework. IMO this is because the JavaScript ecosystem is speedrunning the decades of lessons learned by the greater software enginee

Those pesky cyclists might even argue that traffic laws only exist in the first place because car drivers just would not stop maiming and killing people. Crazy cyclists.

This is one of many insights that hint at why biz-facing cloud architecture is so popular, wasteful, and profitable. The incentives are designed to form an enormous cash siphon. From aggressively marketing toward fearful & liable (or ma

I deleted the app so it uses the mobile web version. I use AdGuard, which blocks all YouTube ads. You can also use Vinegar extension, which works pretty well.

IIRC Sqlite stores all data types as text. It seems like a very weird decision to me.

These replies are very curious. Apologies for angering some folks. I didn't intend for that. The assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about was expected. However the doubling-down that running Windows games on linux

Linux is not even close to matching Windows in gaming performance. Maybe for a small sub-set of games, but for the vast majority you're running them on Win32 and DX compatibility layers that each have overhead. Sometimes a lot.

Friendly reminder that support != able to run. This seems totally reasonable to me. Are there many games played today which are A) 32-bit only and B) still need fixes/patch/update support?

It is the opinion of many that we have over-optimized our public spaces to nearly the sole benefit of private vehicular traffic. Apologies for the initial sarcastic reply.

Oh those are widespread. In my experience, even where those laws don't exist, they are believed to exist by the brainwashed, car-obsessed population.

Imagine how irritating it is for every pedestrian to have to wait for every light to change, for their momentary privilege to walk across a 5ft-wide space that often has cars poking their hoods into it.

But many Israelis are , even openly, bloodthirsty. This is well documented and trivial to find on mainstream social media platforms. Obviously (though I want spell it out because I genuinely do not want to upset you), the same is true of m

The intellectualization of patently brutal Israeli policies makes me sick.

I think I'm missing something with graphics cards. I have a 1060 on a i7-3770 and it can put out 120fps on most games. My M1 Macbook can play those same games through Rosetta 2 and Wine + GPTK at a similar FPS. What are people doing th
137.
by nick_ 3y ago
I guess I play faster games than most because I always put the graphics settings to lowest detail, native resolution, and aim for 144fps (my monitor's native refresh rate). Anything less than 90fps/Hz is pretty bad to me.

by nick_ 3y ago
People consider 40fps the sweet spot?

No worries! Apologies for being overly curt.

On that I totally agree.

Just FYI: Swift has actor model. Pony is built around actor model.

Find out what, though? That it's a dry, frozen wasteland? For tens of billions of dollars? No thanks.

But we can already do `Span<int> ints = stackalloc int[5];` without using `unsafe`. The array size doesn't even have to be const in that example. They could have just made an optimization when a const is supplied for locals, and

by nick_ 3y ago
The inline array feature is good, but the implementation is very bad. Why would we need to make a struct with an attribute and a weird member?

by nick_ 3y ago
It's good. Vsync adds a small amount but my monitor is 144Hz so it adds less than half what a 60Hz would add (I think?). I've heard of some folks being able to play without Vsync and without crashes, but not me. Not yet at least.

I use https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky to play CS2 on my M1 Mac. It runs really well if you change the launch options to `-nojoy`, turn on vsync (or else it may crash every couple minutes), and can bear some audio

You need to install a 3rd party tool to switch between windows in macOS, like alt+tab provides in Windows and most linux desktops. macOS of course has cmd+tab, but that switches apps not windows.

If you haven't already, you could look into trying daily Valacyclovir. Epstein-Barr is one of the HHVs, and may be helped by that drug.
