   Do you have a source for this? I thought I remembered that the 7900 XTX trades blows with the 4090 in some games even with both cards at stock settings. (Though of course the 4090 completely blows it out of the water in other games.)

   I'm tempted to just downvote you and move on with my life but I'm genuinely curious. Given that it's meaningless to Deploy something without Integrating the changes, what do you _actually_ mean by "You don’t need [CI]. S

   Am I a curmudgeon? Not to take away from this cool writeup, but I'm familiar with a few CI/CD tools, particularly QuickBuild, Jenkins and Spinnaker. So this jumped out at me: > Our CI process was pretty standard: Every commit i

   Edit: this is such a good take that it's posted as a top-level comment slightly further down! That's what I get for not reading more responses before commenting. Original: "Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to t

   I've been Linux-only on the desktop since 2003. I was also confused about the post. People have different experiences!

   This is oversimplified but hopefully close enough. A couple of versions ago, Wizards of the Coast released a subset of the D&D rules for free with a pretty open license. That free subset was called the SRD and the license was the OGL 1.

   No, but I guess my friend isn't the only blind person in the world who uses Twitter. Class action lawsuit?

   I have an old friend who is blind. The official Twitter client is a LOT less accessible than the one she was using. This change impacts her ability to use Twitter considerably. And before you start with the "well, she's probably b

    Yes. In nuclear fusion, "ignition" means that you get more energy out than the lasers impart. This is the first time anyone has pulled that off in decades of trying, which is a big deal. But practical nuclear fusion would of cours

    This article was a welcome relief after many of the others the past couple of days. Well-written, clear, optimistic but not hand-wavy, and certainly not "breathless" or loaded with PR.

    Apparently the semiconductor industry already has lasers that are 20x more efficient than what was used in this experiment.

    https://foundryvtt.com/ might fit the bill. Disclaimer: I've basically never used roll20 because it's way too heavyweight for my games; I use Owlbear Rodeo instead. But I have tech-savvy DM friends who use and lik

    I'm not such a person myself but I hear "The Art Of Saying NO" by Zahariades is pretty good. Not quite the same topic but I've also heard good things about "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Manson

    Yes, apologies! I'm so deep in the AMD/Intel/Nvidia rumor mill I forget how normal humans talk, sometimes. Tech news people tend to use "AIBs" as shorthand for "second-party (add-in) board partners" -- tha

    Youtuber Moore's Law is Dead claims this is on purpose to allow AIBs to clear out their existing oversupply of 30x0-series cards.

    Or flavor your own! It's pretty easy and using this method I was able to very slowly taper the nicotine down to 0.5% and then eventually zero and then quit.

    I'd be _shocked_ if it contains diacetyl itself, though depending on the flavor, it might contain a similar ingredient. If you're concerned then look for a similar recipe at the site I linked in a sibling comment.

    I used to vape. I even made my own vape juice, for a time, which is quite a bit easier than brewing your own beer! Note that the linked Harvard study is from 2015(!); the vast majority of vape juices no longer contain diacetyl. Acetylpropio

    It's interesting -- I only play Wordle on hard mode, so these "restrictions" seem perfectly good and fine to me. I guess if you're not used to it they seem onerous. Though I guess to be fair Wordle doesn't force har
