The headline altering feature needs removed. It gets it wrong as often as it gets it right. I'd rather have the original headline, even if it's click bait. If the headline is going to be altered a human needs to be doing it.

I don't use this extension, but I have used the 'vscodevim' extension for many years now. I forget all of the settings I changed to make it work for me, but it's mostly usable as a vim replacement now. I needed to set &#

My wife was diagnosed Devic's disease, a rare disease with a grim prognosis. Almost every paper we could find on it had the name of a doctor that worked at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. We lived in Arizona at the time so we went ther

I play Unreal Tournament 2004, Unreal Tournament 4, Quake Champions, and Fortnite. I'm 47 years old. I'm by no means the greatest aim, but I can hold my own against semi-pro players, players that typically compete for money in to

The main problem is it came about 20 years too late. Anybody writing libraries in C++ today either use C linkage or ship multiple versions.

Exact Audio Copy is a marvel of ripping technology. I would 100% use it if I cared about ripping CDs accurately. Ages ago I made custom cdrom drivers that would purposefully randomize data returned from reads (cd copy protection). EAC wou

Purpose-built tools are always superior to multi-tools for the purpose they were built. A phone running google maps is a multi-tool.

Thanks for this and for shooting it down. There is enough wild stuff on the internet that it doesn't need to be perpetuated further. I read this maybe a couple years ago and it seemed legit, but I'm not a physics guy and didn&#x2

Oh there are black holes. We even have videos [1]. But are they infinitely dense at the singularity or is there a limit? [1] - https://www.eso.org/public/videos/eso1825e/

What is the gravitational force at the singularity? How does that reconcile with the maximum force? c^4/4G It seems like there is a contradiction there. https://www.motionmountain.net/maximumforce.html

I have a OnePlus8 and it does not do QR code scanning. I had to install Google Lens. It's not about version of Android. The cameras are all proprietary and so are the camera apps. As such I hate QR code menus. I'm with the boo

It's the type activism that has the opposite effect on me. If this is how people behave then we deserve the climate hell we are creating. It makes me want to roll coal in their faces.

Not really. UE4 (and thus UT4) abandoned UnrealScript entirely in favor of Blueprints and C++. The majority of code from the previous games (including base engine code) is all UnrealScript. It would be more feasible to take UT4 source and

If I just need to make a simple POST or PUT I'll use Firefox's dev tools network tab. Right click a request and click 'Edit and resend'. If I need more than that I'll use vscode restclient.

The AI in MK was always notoriously 'cheap'. I remember it was impossible to perform a throw on the AI. They would always throw you instead. You could even go so far as to freeze the AI using Sub Zero's freeze move, attempt

I wonder which patch version of MK they are using. IIRC the 3.0 patch (had the contest advertisement) was the last patch that allowed juggle combos. After that the opponent would fall super fast after the first juggle hit. It kind of rui

I ditched cable and went 100% streaming starting with Netflix because they had zero ads. Many of my friends did the same. I consider ads an assault on my psyche and will avoid them as much as I possibly can.
