Linux audio and video problems as well as a few intentional decisions by game developers have forced me to use Windows to play games with my friends.

There's a universe where Google - wanting to use their monopoly on video hosting and search for the forces of good and support the small content creators that drive their business - tells copyright trolls to pound sand and ignores clai

To quibble a bit, the video shows that YouTube's control panel tells users that a claim was "manual" and doesn't detail what "manual" means, or provide the DMCA notice (which is a written document, fwiw) that w

You could argue it's a good thing they're more expensive while the alternatives are phased out, more people would need to use public transit or live within walking distance of places they use cars to reach today.

I don't think your ideas there result in more market share or a sustainable business model to support Firefox. Because fundamentally you're trying to shove a new value (privacy) down the throats of consumers who don't share i

Yes, because of how VS Code has evolved we're not using it for quick edits but as a front end to entire systems. If I need to check something quick in a remote session that is configured through some extension in VS Code without simple

There's a couple big knocks against VS Code that don't get brought up enough The extension API is underdocumented. It's very difficult and time consuming to onboard yourself as an extension author with just the MS docs, since

I think it was Kissinger that said (paraphrasing) war is a tool to achieve political objectives. The necessity, scale and manner of violence depends on what those objectives are and feasibility of success. The kind of political dilemma that

This has nothing to do with bytecode and everything to do with the security models used by Android and iOS.

For me, I find search is ok for finding places to find places, if that makes sense. Like I've had a lot of trouble finding detailed information on a few technical niches, but search led me to forums that led me to private slack/di

Averages aren't really good metrics for statistics that don't fall on a bell curve, like with a lot of consumables. Take alchohol [0] consumption, if you look at raw numbers the "average" American drinks quite a lot per

I feel like they edited that quote a little too far away from the final(?) statement she gave, which was along the lines of "these markets should be banned, just like we have banned markets in human organs and human slaves."

I've seen/heard this in $100 units from Schiit. Not to mention the poor hand soldering job that cost more money because a human did it in America.

I feel like if you close with "only 20% slower than make" you can't justify the title "is not slow." 20% is a pretty huge margin for large builds, which I wouldn't consider using make for in the first place. CM

Podcasting is in a weird spot right now where the strategy that most podcasters take is to be on as many platforms as possible and there's a cottage industry+ supporting that initiative. It's the same effect as syndication but it

I distinctly remember during the 2012 election, my friends began posting political materials extensively. Which makes sense because of the Obama campaign's unprecedented spend on social media. Pre-2012 Facebook was awesome. Now the fee

Here's a question for the IP legal crowd If Autodesk is hiding a design I make using Fusion 360 behind a gate on their cloud, does that require I grant them a license to the IP represented by that design? Who owns the IP, if I create i

That seems rather dismissive of engineering practices and ignorant of scientific development. If we want to get into the philosophical difference between engineering and physics, engineering at its core is solving problems and science is an
