My father did computer hardware work on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico up til I was conceived and he decided to get a less dangerous job at IBM. My entire childhood he had a picture on his desk he took from the evac boat of the oil rig he

Yeah I agree. Off chance you stopped reading at that point (can’t blame you, it’s a unnecessarily long post) the immediately next sentence in my post is noting that: “not actually workable in the current world, especially without the rest o

I lean rather leftist in how I think about addressing social issues so we may have differing opinions on correct solutions, but your general assessment on the city's problems and its root issue being a lack of strong conviction and fol

I'm not exactly a fan of authoritarian communism but the point you're trying to make here fails considering Vietnam, one of the countries used as a successful example, has the exact same governing system as Laos. Also the point ma

Epic released the tooling for doing an iPhone face scan to create a mesh that can then be used to create a rigged Metahuman model about 6 months ago! https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/how-to-use-realityca...

You can still mod Firefox's UI pretty easily, its all defined by CSS files and not too difficult to customize. I for instance actually did the opposite of what you wanted and completely got rid of the tab bar cause I use Sidebery for t

I like this site for the info on how tracking is done it provides but the data set it generates uniqueness from is really tiny and differs a lot from real world browser makeup. For instance it claims iOS is 4.63% of users and Safari is 3,42

It’s still technically a nonprofit, they just created a (capped) for-profit subsidiary with the nonprofit as the sole controlling shareholder. This was done so it could bring in enough money through VC to pay competitive salaries while supp

I completely agree with the article but its a little weird that the example game used is MTG Arena when thanks to streaming extensions I find it's one of the best games to watch on Twitch. Almost every MTGA streamer I've seen uses

Wait, do you actually think Hillary Clinton is part of the "extreme left wing"? Have you even like, talked to someone who is moderately left wing like say a Bernie Sanders supporter about how they view Clinton? And you're awa

The department of state and foreign affairs costs about $55b a year so we spend about five times more a year on diplomats than Humira. Now exactly why you think it’s reasonable for the country to spend 1/5th of what it costs to run the

Glad to see another informed consumer who buys eggs and only uses them for recipes provided by the grocery store! What I can’t figure out is why computers include input devices when you aren’t supposed to be making any decisions about how t

This isn’t at all true despite Apple’s marketing. The M2 gets trounced by the 3060 in any graphical benchmark other than power draw, comparing it to a 3090 is just laughable. https://nanoreview.net/en/laptop-compare&#x2

I’m unsure why people think this is true. If you have the ability to buy a gun in Switzerland you can buy any amount of ammo just as easily. The difference is strong regulations disallowing carrying/transporting loaded weapons and enfo

I mean if this were such a big problem with our current system I feel like there would be a lot more financial issues occurring. Counterpoint to that being maybe there actually are already, see the 2008 collapse for instance which happened
