Indeed. You'd have to be absolutely desperate. Long term, it makes zero sense to hide fundamentals such as affection for cats... or being a gamer. I know several guys who used to hide the fact they played games competitively. Granted t

I've been playing shooters for almost 30 years now, and that includes a lot of CTF on top of tons of duel and TDM. Quake, UT, TF2 (just got back to it after a decade). That said, I have no idea what this guy is talking about. I thought

It's the weekend so you'll have to forgive me for asking this: what's the purpose of tracking and planning your nutrition? Illness, sports, obesity? Why would a person decide they want to track (not analyze, just track) every

Time to put your big boy pants and see the real world. Ta ta taaa. It's pop culture. Regurgitation is the very essence of it.

This is the second time this guy's blog has been featured here in a week. His articles are borderline trolling to for old guys. I am not even young myself. "They don't make anything new :(". No, bruh. It's you

I am trying to brute force it. It's about half way done at Wealthy Assholes. Need help decrypting the rest, though edit: I see dzdt has provided something useful.

As far as headlines go, this one is as spot on as they get. In my experience, this is certainly true. Ask my wife, she loves snuggling with me in the winters because well, I am a hot piece of ass. Literally.

When an entity fails this hard and the internet I consume is suddenly flooded with articles about it, I can't help but think: ok, who fucked them over? Who are the biggest "friends" of Sri Lanka? The US, China? Who profits fr

This is really exciting. I absolutely hate the rare occurrences where I have to use chrome / google translate just to buy something from an amazon store that does not have an english version. Like most EU amazons or country specific st

I can't speak for them, though I would imagine the reason, not an excuse, is to make more money? Maybe having these games available is costing them some money. As I said above, I stopped dealing with this company a long, long time ago.

Your biases may be showing here. I think shutting down servers is just as bad as removing single player games from people's libraries. The end result is quite the same for the customers: they can no longer use the products they paid fo

EA has been routinely shutting down game servers for almost 20 years now. Legal or not, I cannot say. In any cause, the usual targets seem to be games with annual releases. Apparently, people love buying the same games over and over. While

I don't feel this way even though I rarely have breakfast or lunch. Pretty sure I am not the norm. People who tend to get "hangry" kind of make me feel uneasy because such behaviour suggests that if it comes down to that, the

I can agree with that. Luckily, karma, as implemented here, doesn't seem to prevent people from sharing what they have to say. Not like on Slashdot where karma really is a bitch. Been there for 20+ years and still think it's an aw

I guess you weren't looking hard enough. I am writing this on a fairly light and slim machine, equipped with Ryzen 5800 and a 16:10 2560x1600 @ 120Hz display. I used to have a 14 inch model with an even higher resolution at same refres

Indeed. Discord is guilty of this. You can't make calls on the mobile site because there's an app for that. Hit the "request desktop site" and boom, the button is not disabled for arbitrary reason.

Speed gains aside, it's pretty great, though I did have to provide a manual path to node_modules/some_package_here because it wouldn't serve those files in dev mode. On my computer alone. No one else. Guess I had a weird setu

Best phone game I ever played, that's for sure. I liked it. I don't think I have played any phone games since... wow, it was 2006, right? These days we have phones powerful enough to play Doom 3, probably even Doom 2016. I mean lo

And yet, in most cases, the most expensive car wins. Of course it's not just about who spends the most money. But spending is very much key.

Well, yeah. Disk cache can take hundreds of MS to retrieve, even on modern SSDs. I had a handful of oddly heated discussions with an architect about this exact thing at my previous job. Showing him the network tab did not because he had rea

Eh, but one could just as easily say "non-SPA" websites aren't all that great either, see? The real bloat is the 15 trackers and ad platforms, imho. I am not advocating for SPAs, btw. Personally, I mostly browse with JS disab

The quote you shared is utter non-sense. I have built SPAs running on devices so underpowered , you wouldn't believe. Single core, 512MB RAM, no GPU. And with a browser running on on top of all kinds of other crap. Right tech for the j

Not the same creature. The one I am talking about is all black, with slightly bluish tinted wings. There considerably bigger than most wasps/hornets. I don't know what I am dealing* with. * Not yet, and hopefully I won't have

I did but it died on me. I've been with a candy bar ever since. Been a decade since I gave up on smartphones. Only took me about two months. These days I check my phone once or twice a week, sometimes not at all. Good thing the battery

You've been out of the loop for a while. Certain HDDs have been able to achieve such speeds for about a decade, if not more. Most of their (slow) gains over the last 10 years have been in capacity.
