Being able to see the aggregate data isn't just interesting but publicly helpful. From a game developer perspective, looking at it right now tells me that (simplified): * Most gamers have at least a GTX 1050 and 8GB of ram or higher. P

I know this is the popular conclusion - but from a developer perspective, data such as what software your product is used with is INCREDIBLY valuable for project planning and prioritization. People hate web tracking, but knowing what browse

Software side you're right, it makes sense for the driver to keep track of the current application for things like button binds, etc. But that doesn't mean they need to transmit that information off your computer. Although I agree

Tracking the currently open application software side is perfectly within scope for a drawing tablet - they often have buttons that can be bound to keyboard shortcuts, etc. It makes sense that it should know when you're focused on Phot

When you guys do address it could I pretty please request you do a blog article about it? Electron startup time as well as v8 snapshots have been a hot topic for a looooong time. I actually started a pull request for it in 2015 [0]. My pull

I feel that it's not really fair to expect them to natively implement their app on every platform and put tons of resources into it's client performance - anecdotally discord is a very responsive app - see [0]. But think of it thi

To be fair it really doesn't take that long, and often it's because it's auto updating, but it's not more then a couple seconds. The big thing IMO is that once started I normally leave discord running, and most actions w

In some cases the company making the claim doesn't even own the IP. I remember a case where the youtuber NerdCubed had his Portal videos copyright claimed, even though Valve themselves explicitly states that making videos of their game

Anecdotal, and I'm guessing it's because I was logged in (to my long standing personal Google account) - but I didn't have any issues when I was VPN'd through a Vultr vps of mine when I was in my dorm. Again I'm gue

I made a comment to a sibling with an example from Michigan. I won't copy paste the whole comment but Michigan allows biking on sidewalks but you have to yield to pedestrians. But individual towns may add their own restrictions. https

Not always though, for example here in Michigan [0]. At least around here some of the streets are NOT the kind you want to ride your bike on, and there's only a few pedestrians on the sidewalk (so it's not a big deal even if you s

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure Intel has contracts/discounts for most OEMs and I'm sure they've written them in a way to 'discourage' them from throwing Ryzen CPUs in the mix.

I think you ninja'd me, I just made a comment contemplating some of the different challenges of bike navigation.

You know that got me thinking, biking rules vary far more than for cars. Depending on your location, pedestrian traffic, streets, street traffic, etc. It might be best for you to be on the sidewalk. Or maybe you should instead be on the roa

Having just setup a HA Postgres with Patroni - I disagree. Honestly I think we should've just stuck with a single Postgres server. Sure you can have an orchestration tool "Make sure everything is running, and respond to failures&

I mean the domain you're in changes your requirements drastically. Heck certain workloads (high frequency, low latency, nearly no concurrency) might run better on a single core of an overclocked i7 vs any Xeon processor. If it's a

The latest versions of PHP aren't too bad. That said Node.js has IMO an interesting architecture because it's event driven, combine that with Typescript and it's solid. Python type support, and event driven frameworks (e.g. a

In the docker container you ARE the system python version. In fact many docker best practices would say that preferably only 1 application is running, and that would be your application.

Well there's two ways you can be in trouble. The first is if you knew the money was stolen, then you can go to jail. The second is if you didn't know it was stolen but it's then seized - leaving you with no money. As for your

Serious question - What open source games do you play? I'd consider myself a "gamer" and I can't think of many recent successful games that are open source. Indie games sure, modding support sure, games without any DRM s

Cross platform in the sense of tablet/phone/computer integration IF you're already invested in the Apple ecosystem. But yeah AFAIK it's apple only.

That's definitely true, but even outside the US, that's not much money. Keep in mind they're counting revenue, and employees are more expensive than their salary (Even if your salary is 50k you can still cost 70k or more).

Yes? But most viruses don't lay dormant waiting for you to type in a bank account password and quietly send it off (some do for sure). A lot of viruses sell "installs" - where other less moral software devs will pay per insta

More often then not you'll find some "helpful" changes to your browsing experience, and/or "team.bitcoinz" running at 100% cpu, or your files are encrypted. Most viruses aren't stealthy, although a few are

Yeah wait a minute - 100k USD a year is barely one developer (Especially after benefit costs, etc) - and they say revenue too. So basically if you're a one man shop it's an improvement I guess?
