Well, but you want to spend money on the GPU if you care about gaming. Consider these two builds: 1. Ryzen 5 2600 ($150) + RTX 3070 ($500) for $650 2. i5-10900k ($280) + RX 5700XT ($330) for $610 The first build with the RTX 3070 is far bet

COVID-19 has a bit under 800,000 known deaths Not disputing your overall point, but this is with preventative measures, such as lockdown, quarantine, use of masks, social distancing, etc. I have seen various estimates with factors such as

Same. Two people in the house each with only one desk for work and personal use. I work 9-5. I close my work laptop at 5pm, and ignore all notifications outside that time. There are a few things that help, I guess: 1. I have no real motivat

It is evident to the whole world that the US doesn't want to compete at the level of high technology, which is what the Chinese have achieved in the last couple of years Not sure where this is coming from. TikTok is being banned out

The article references [1] which says, "Visa holds a 60% share of the credit and debit card market, followed by Mastercard with 30%, according to Ellis, with American Express far behind at 8.5%." That puts Discover + AmEx at 10% o

But it obviously hinders their business if they don't, in the US at least. Even most food trucks typically have Square terminals (or similar) for card transactions. Which leads me to believe that it's generally worth it for busine

GF and I have had success with Minecraft, Overcooked 1/2, Human Fall Flat, Don't Starve Together, Rocket League, and the Halo co-op campaigns[1]. Unrailed is an early access game on Steam. Short but not bad. A bit like Overcooked

All of these comments make me thankful to have Favor as an option in Texas: https://favordelivery.com/cities . It's owned by HEB and does grocery delivery from HEB as well.

The pop out address bar didn't bother me either, because I don't use the bookmarks toolbar. My GF hates it because it partially obscures the bookmarks toolbar on any new tab. So her everyday usage is impacted where she opens firef

Fundamentally, you should not share passwords 1. If only one person needs a password, they should always create a password themselves. For example, you might hand them a newly provisioned laptop with a temporary password to login. The first

The multiprocessing module in the standard library is absolutely a Python-native way to do parallelism: with Pool(5) as p: print(p.map(f, [1, 2, 3])) This runs f(1), f(2), and f(3) in parallel, using a pool of five processe

Love it. This is such a good idea. The only limitation is that it's VS Code only. But, the JSON output means I could easily write a script to produce HTML that could be hosted for other devs to view.

This is great and +1 to Phil Sturgeon for pushing for this fix. He wrote a great blog post about it a while back which pointed me to a library[1] that helped my team manage the problems with OpenAPI schemas. Nice to see this situation final

Honest question: What does the dev process actually look like for AAA games? - Do they create levels/scenes without a visual tool to set the positions of everything? - Or, if AAA studios tend to use some kind of visual tool, is it not
