Ease of manufacturing and export of vehicles globally. Also, with everyone on the same standard, all companies have an incentive to optimize their hardware to accomodatte it. It might not be that important short term but it is on the medium

How is Nintendo a monopolist?

Because it's an expensive and lengthy process. And every version would need to be re-certified.

Yeah, but frameworks are yet another level of abstraction and dependency that just kills momentum.

The struggle isn't necessarily bad for learning. It really is a good way to learn. I like it. But alas, I never thought as a kid that I didn't have time for other things. I was always into something.

Mails are the correct way to do it. These kind of stops are what make *BSDs/Linux less prone to widespread attack vectors given how heterogeneous their populations are. Yes, I'm assuming any kind of updates, security related or no

GPL 2 with the Classpath/Linking Exception? Still, not many do this.

Well, there are certainly good uses. I do not think every microtransaction is bad, I wasn't clear enough above. But back to the rest of your reply, regarding the QoL options, don't you think they impose an insidious incentive for

I have got to say it was fantastic seeing my grandmas eyes glow when, for no reason, I thought "wait my xm4's could help her" and put them on her. She was then able to hear our conversations even though the xm4 are not as goo

Fair enough, but for anyone wondering, you can make a shit knife shine if you take good care of it! Sharpening it, using a chef's honing steel in between some harder cuts to take care of those nasty burrs and you're off to the rac

I've seen people forking Unreal Engine on GitHub without any restrictions for public view. Makes one think about this kind of thing.

The issue is still open for GNOME, so I would assume it still is very much a problem: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/9

KDE and KFrameworks already provides such an ability. Either way, great to see more options!

It still is, for some, ideological. I know plenty, whose day to day job isn't even software, doing this. Now, just as food for thought: I believe the mere existence of FOSS promotes a more sustainable economy! It regulates, in a way, c

Google with search operators wield more results than one expects. Theoritically speaking, of course.

Well, that hegemony happened by the end of the Netscape days, which prompted the infamous United States v. Microsoft Corp. case.

Having a third competitor in the GPU is great, for both Intel and the consumer. If one starts blaming newcomers for their shortcomings then we are failing to see the bigger picture. When you talk about web browsers failing to display conten

Also found MicroOS interesting. At first I felt limited but more and more I started to like the flow of doing things and being more pragmatic about my system. In the end though, some of the cons of such a system started being too much and I

It doesn't necessarily mean to turn WoW in a simgle player game. Just being able to setup servers in a reasonable way (i.e. not reverse engineering and emulating how they work, like people have done for WoW). Look into World in Conflic

This is a software architecture issue. It doesn't necessarily mean there's more work, just different goals when starting out. Look at the case of Massive Entertainment and World in Conflict [1]. All reasons for not doing something

Most times its less about a system being poorly designed and more about it being able to solve very hard problems which most existing employees today haven't even heard of. Institutional knowledge plays big time on these decisions.

Being blasted by media for running your own software, incredible. As others have commented, just a single tweet was enough to propagate this story. Quite concerning how easy it is to fake reality nowadays.

Yeah, PS2's Graphics Synthesizer had a fill rate of 1.2 GB/s. For comparison, the OG Xbox had 0.932 GB/s, and the GameCube had 0.648GB/s. Assuming only 1 texture here. The Xbox was released 1 year later, for context. Son

I'm curious as to which ones they do not have compared to Adobe products. The only one I can think of is proper material layer painting in Blender, you can get there with addons but haven't found one that's as good. Genuinely
