Are they not supposed to make comparisons? I don't understand what alternative you would like.

What's the deal with "dynamic caching"? I wish they would have talked about it more. It sounds like they're reducing memory allocations by only allocating what is actually needed.

They've been doing this for years. It was just mobile only at first.

Calling it evil is a bit of a stretch.

This seems like nonsense. The author claims that we're overwhelmed by the volume of content we consume and that's why we can't be creative. So the suggested solution is to do more work to consume content? That doesn't ma

Does anybody else get the impression that holograms are inevitable? This type of tech seems like the medium now all we need is a good way of displaying them.

I got an RX6600 new for a similar price not long ago. It definitely works well for 1080p gaming even with new titles. Provided you’re not expecting them to run at max settings or super high frame rates.

Seems to me like there are still plenty of relationships in a chat app. Postgres can be used like a NoSQL database via JSONB too if you want. I think the truth is that you should use the simplest, most effective tech possible until you are

You're not fucked if you don't post projects to HN. Tons of tech workers don't use HN and get along just fine.

The author addresses this and claims that it isn't good enough because they sometimes don't back-port fixes or don't back-port them fast enough.

Very cool. Have you written a blog or anything about these experiences? I would love to read it.

Starfield works fine with Proton. Few developers are going to test/target Proton and that's totally part of the pitch. The deck incompatibility is a function of poor optimization. Again I meant that this is a broader Linux issue.

You do realize you're repeating the same "distro bad" rhetoric, right? It's not all helpful or even representative of the underlying problems. Every single distro has major issues. Whether or not they affect you is a c

I don't mean this to be a judgement of Proton but rather a reiteration of the fragmentation problem with Linux. Most of the issues users have with Starfield are the product of having a set incompatible software. Nvidia users often fail

Proton is not a silver bullet. Starfield, for example, works with Proton but if you look at ProtonDB you will see that it does not work for many users.

Perhaps the frametimes tell a different story? A single average value isn’t particularly useful for measuring gaming performance.

It seems a goal of S&box is to allow more developers to ship games that are built using Source 2. I'm curious if we'll see much of that in the future.

Yes, they claim that the fee is for their support of whichever platform the user installed on.

Right? Considering USB-C and the fact that they moved most of the pro features into the base model it seems like a great time to upgrade from an older model.

You’re definitely in the minority. Most people agree that DLSS is the best upscaling tech available right now. It produces an image that is genuinely similar to a higher native resolution with fairly minor artifacts. It probably could run o

I think the vast majority of HN users would realize that. Is it important for the few that don’t? Perhaps

I don't think there should be "1 linux desktop" but I do believe the Linux desktop is far too fragmented. Yeah, it's nice that we can customize stuff but it makes it a nightmare for developers to support us. How can anyb

I get pretty annoyed paying $4 to rent a movie that was released 40 years ago. It used to be that I could pay $4 to own a copy of that movie I picked up out of the bargain bin. I still pay it though because I prefer to support companies tha

$100/user/mo seems like way too much. The “contributing code that is deployed through Nullstone”. Makes it sound like you have to pay for the whole engineering team even if only a few devs are actually handling the deployments. Is

Historically lots of US goods have been manufactured in Mexico. The difference is that Mexico's government is not highly coordinated like China's. The same resources would not achieve the same outcomes.

I recognize that my initial example may have been ill-chosen since the Calflora range tool stops at the border, despite having data beyond it. However, the actual known data does support my point. In the Calflora database, six percent of th

There's a real problem in the US with cities that are near the US border. It's hard for anything to get done across the border by US entities. At least that's my hunch. Can anybody confirm if this happens with other near-bo

You could take traditional small business loans or other types of simple credit, try crowd sourced funding (kickstarter), or just build shit without much or any funding (bootstrap). That’s not an exhaustive list of course.
