This is a good website to demonstrate the Pulfrich effect! Squint your right eye or cover it with sunglasses, and watch the magical sandwiches pop out of your screen. I really wish online stores utilized this to convey dimensions and materi

The names seem to be simple concatenations of random parts like "game", "lib", "vm", "cv", "http". They do look surprisingly convincing.

Thanks for encouraging productive discussion! Your original question made me come up with #2 - I couldn't find active development on that specific concept, but I found something pretty amazing. "Deepfake therapy" lets therapi

This is the strongest point that comes to my mind. I feel that most consumers are completely unaware that their perception of transfer speeds and file size differ by almost an order of magnitude . I absolutely hate how marketing takes adva

The balance wheel gets a small energy push through the escapement on each tick. The barrel's mainspring has enough force to just kickstart a stopped balance wheel. The balance wheel doesn't really need much "winding" -

The article points out the strength of well placed shell utilities - they often do their job efficiently. The pressure of misusing these tools inefficiently comes from the absurd difficulty of most *nix shell languages. I think the classic

This is good advice for Linux-native applications, since jackd would be using ALSA anyway. Wine applications may suffer from extra latency (40+ ms) when using ALSA directly, because Wine's ALSA driver uses hidden additional buffers. Us

Yep. Their argument is "it's already based on Chrome, but improved™ by Microsoft". Obviously, they want to add their own telemetry, advertisements, and "helpful suggestions" like this.

Websites are also bloated with massive Javascript - it's just another source of awfully bloated, inefficient, bloody useless software!

I probably have experienced something close to this. You're right; it doesn't take many steps to make a modern machine slow. Reading the article was indeed surprising and depressing - it certainly is a plausible scenario! The ques

Yes, they're running Windows, and Windows is also software, contributing to the bloat. My point is that the resource overhead of just running an idle OS doesn't need to be humongous compared to the actual workload.

That won't solve the problem, unless you're assuming that it's perfectly normal for modern applications to use disk space as working memory.

That's not actually such "low end spec" that would cause logins and mails to take an hour to process. To me, the whole ordeal screams: software bloat, software misconfiguration, background service overload. You could snappily

Does "initials only" mean "J. D." or "J. Doe"? I'm convinced that the latter form would let reviewers recognize any well known scientist, giving their proposal a massive advantage. I'm sure a living S
