Chrome has its own bullshit. When Edge decided to switch to being based on Chromium I had high hopes Microsoft could build a better Chrome than Google could. Man, what a letdown.

Nice. Yes if you want to make your own vi, you need to start with ex. vi was originally an ex command to go into 'visual' mode.

Do you answer those calls? Caller ID is default on. You have to do work to turn it off. If they did that work, I don't answer.

They are an accessibility nightmare. I read a comment here recently from a blind person that had to give up on math education entirely due to all of the symbols not being supported by screen readers. It was pretty sad.

What about the users? This whole thread is entirely developer centric. Odds are you are going to have 1000x more time users than developers. A native solution and not some node interpreted monstrosity is the right choice. We all loathe

Yeah, I'm never doing that again. I created a binding for the Irrlicht rendering engine with Lua using swig. There were always parsing errors with the header files so I had to create definition files for almost everything. It was a

Cars externalize their problems. If cars internalized their problems the tailpipe would come out of the dashboard.

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it twice. Hence, the inevitable rewrite.

It's the games. It always was the games. I got the NES for Super Mario Bros. I got the Playstation for Tekken. Many others got it for Final Fantasy VII. If the only game the Playstation had was Tekken I still would have bought it.

Yep. It really depends what you do with your monitors. For gaming I'll never go back to anything less than 240hz. Even high end video cards struggle to render modern games at 240hz consistently at 4k. 1080p is fine.

Yep. If you are forcing work-from-office but it's not actually required, I think you should be forced to pay for the carbon footprint.

Why does it need continuous, perpetual support? Most devices like this get built, software installed, and never updated again. When is the last time you updated the ECU software in your car? I built a small arcade cabinet using an old ras

I created an AOP library for .net core. It uses the decorator pattern. Aspects are attributes you apply to classes and methods. It was fun to implement. It was all the rage in game programming. I never used it myself. As all of the oth

I have a hybrid schedule. I lose 2 hours/day commuting + 1/2 hour de-stress from driving through shit traffic. I get far more work done on my WFH days than I do my in-office days. I'm an IC and don't need to do much me

Yes you are right. It's not clear what the 12ms represents, input delay or framerate or something else. Hopefully we will get better tech specs soon.

They mention 12ms, which is 83.3fps. It's a bit too slow for my tastes at $3500 price tag. It might be good for more stationary images, but anything moving will have ghosting/stutter. I'll wait for gen2/3. Still, I&#x

I kind of had this realization when reading about things the government did in the past, like air-drop LSD onto soldiers, agent-orange, psychic experiments, and other nonsense. My first instinct was 'wow, those wacky 60's', b

I made it to the round of 8 in Namco's TTT1 world tournament. This is all absolutely true - you must travel and play against the best to improve further once you reach a peak. And you have to play a ridiculous amount to keep your ski

Pollution is a nice way to put it. I prefer phrases such as 'cognitive assault', 'mental violence' and 'attention rape'. I really hate advertisement in all forms.

None of the current electric cars appeal to me. I basically want a 1/1 scale team associated or team losi RC car that I can sit in and drive.

I remember playing this version in the arcade at Golf & Stuff aka Castles & Coasters in Phoenix AZ. The arcade attendants would yell at you for 'hitting the game'.
