Yes the biggest drawback to DOOM is the gore. The gameplay is superb though. I would love to see a non-gore FPS using the id Tech 6 engine. What I love about Overwatch is the art style. The cartoon design and lack of gore makes it much mo

I apologise for the rather crap title but in keeping with HN policy I kept it as close to the article title as possible (shortened only due to 80 character HN title limit). Personally I would have used something like - "British student

TBH $100k is a lot less than I thought it would be.

I know what you mean. Uncharted 4 is breathtaking. People love to rip on console games but just look at Uncharted 4. It is stunning. What really blew me away when I first played it was the face animations. You can actually see the fatty t

DOOM 2016 is indeed a super fun game. It is exactly what I wanted it to be as a DOOM game. Pretty shallow (in a good way) with stunning visuals and no slow down. Overwatch is also a superb FPS although very different. 2016 has been a good

I didn't read what GP wrote as those "bad" people deserve to die (nobody deserves to die IMHO but that is another subject) but that it is not the hardcore, everyday drug users who die but the average-kid-nextdoor who is exper

iOS has excellent assistive technology. A good friend of mine who is blind (not totally, can see shadows) adores his iPhone as it allows him to go out independently with ease. He can text and use Maps to get around in places he has never be

Fedora is my choice for desktop Linux. It works great. If GNOME isn't your thing then almost every other DE is available in RPMFusion. Overall I find it nicer to work in Fedora than Ubuntu fwiw.

Indeed. I am not a massive Apple fan but they deserve credit for how open they are about their diagnostics collection options during initial setup. There don't try and trick the user with "custom settings" like on Windows.

To be fair Microsoft had support documentation on how to disabled and remove GWX correctly and most of the third party tools were overly aggressive and did not follow the documented process. They were basically watchmen programs that look

All of these programs are hacks. They delete/rename/move the executables that have been identified by system monitoring to be the source of such data collection. The problem is using any such tool will put you into the world of un

macOS has telemetry. The difference is you can actually disable it and it really gets disabled. None of this "the check box is set to disabled but I still see all these network connections from system processes like Cortana still...&qu

Content of the ridiculous article in PDF By Daniel Victor O.K., here’s a little more context, for those of you who need it. It begins when an innocuous email that you probably don’t need lands in your inbox (as it did mine on Thursday). Soo

I am not too sure how I feel about this. On the one hand I do think Apple (and many other companies) should pay more taxes. However on the other hand Ireland enticed many big companies to their country on the promise of lower tax. You can&#

That is just life as an employee though. If you want to get the lions share of that increase you need to start your own business and then you can split the profit how you want.

Becoming a doctor, for example, is a lot longer than 3-4 years and is going to involve a lot more debt. Also if you want to be a doctor you have no choice but to do all of that formal education and pay the huge sums. If you want to learn

Windows revenue has been shrinking for a few years now. The growth is in Azure and related cloud technologies. Sure Windows probably won't ever go away (until a massive paradigm shift as you mention) but businesses are not upgrading li

That's cool, we are just different is all. I use Python for automation tasks that require more than what I can do with Bash/Batch/PowerShell but don't warrant a full write/compile/deploy process. If your job is

Everyone has their own way of working :) I first got into things with batch files on Windows 95 and quickly realised how awful they are when more than 5 lines! I quickly moved on to their Windows Scripting Host stuff which was better but st

Well it isn't a hard limit. I am okay with a 25 line script for example ;) Well really you are more right than me. It is about complexity more than the number of lines. However for the most part the longer something is the more compl

I feel that principle is true from all high-level languages as you move down the chain. Shell scripts should be 1-20 lines. Python/Ruby/whatever for 20-100 and compiled for anything >100.

It is about Microsoft being a neutral player in a multiple platform world. Microsoft want people using their tools as it means they are more likely to use their platforms and services. Be it PowerShell on Linux or Bash on Windows or VSCode

YES! I love that also. I can deal with power on the left but when the hell do so many device makers put the damn power on the right side where my mouse will be?! The only ports I want on the side are USB and only on the left side please.

Out of the box Fedora has ugly fonts but that is easily fixed with Fedy http://folkswithhats.org/ takes two minutes and you have beautiful fonts just like Ubuntu :)
