As a long time Linux user I started with Red Hat 7.2. Then moved on to Slackware from there to Ububtu and finally to ArchLinux. While Linux and the user space ecosystem has come a long way there are still plenty of sharp edges and anyone pl

I really take issue with studies like this that put meat and meat products together. Unprocessed meat is what humans what have been eating for hundreds of thousand of years. Meat products are commercial new inventions and contain stuff like

The fat is an excellent source of energy though and it's very hard to get fat by eating fat because it's essentially hormonally inert. I.e. eating fat doesn't precipitate insulin which is the hormone that enables body fat acc

Steak is actually an excellent source of protein (and fat, if you get the fattier steak as you should). Just because vegetables, lentils or nuts contain protein it doesn't mean it's the same/equivalent to the protein in an an

That's because you're using it. The problem comes when people who don't want to use it are tricked,.manipulated, fooled and dark patterned into using it against their understanding.

It's really sad if you think about that delivering the best desktop UX is all about just not actively sabotaging it on purpose. Win the game by doing nothing while the competition drives themselves into the ground via enshittification.

The issue is not performance the issue is that pixel precise operations are difficult on the GPU using graphics features such as shaders. You don't normally work with pixels but you work with polygonal geometry (triangles) and the GPU

There are several levels here. In your C++ (or C) program you have one (or more) allocators. These are just pieces of code that juggle blocks of memory into smaller chunks for the program to use. Typically the allocators get their memory fr

Talking as a long time C++ programmer. I really don't get this mind set. First off allocation failure (typically indicated by bad_alloc exception in C++ code, or nullptr in C style code) does not mean that the system (or even the proce

Same here. I'm "happy" that I'm old "enough" to be able to wrap up my career in a few years time and likely be able to get out of this mess before this "agentic AI slop" becomes the expected workflow.

As long as you have power structures in place in society where labor is weak and capital class is strong the capital class is going to use all their wealth and power to extract everything they can from the rest of the society. Regardless of

This is putting the apple cart before the horse. Economy should be a tool for the society and to benefit everyone. Instead it's becoming more and more a playground for the rich to extract wealth and the proletariats have only purpose t

That's the other side of the value added coin. Users sometimes find value even in the half assed software. Someone was once talking about the "solving the right problem wrong" vs "solving the wrong problem right".

I wish people who ship crappy software didn't ship it and would let someone else ship something better instead. It really sucks when the first mover / incumbent is some crappy half assed solution. But unfortunately we live in a wo

Long term? If there was some future backlash and the company would suffer, that is someone else's future problem. The execs today don't care about it as long as they reap their financial benefit today.

Yeah theres the "progressive overload" + volume camp. It can work.. the problem is that if you do too little you get no result, if you do too much you burn out. So you have to manage both volume and intensity so that you have a
