When talking about Hetzner pricing, please don’t change the subject to AWS pricing. The two have nothing in common, and intuition derived from one does not transfer to the other.

There are no "backwards bureaucracy" index, unfortunately, but that's what I hear. Sweden has a smooth system. To be fair, that seems to be common in Scandinavia. Germany is a mess for sure. Have heard nothing good about Spai

It's still true. Or, the regulations are at least efficiently enforced in Sweden, unlike in most countries in the EU. Inefficient, corrupt, or arbitrary bureaucracies are surprisingly common.

There is no way AWS has any equipment that is not IPv6-ready. These things are replaced about every 5 years or so. I bet it's all software that assumes IPv4, which is arguably worse.

Would love for the scroll wheel to be replaced with a trackball for 2D scrolling. A touch surface, though? Please no.

I hate this pattern. Needless indirection for insignificant benefit.

I dislike Java, but some poor coders are writing code in MUMPS for their poor customers. Java is not a particularly good language, but it's not the worst thing out there.

Java doesn't have macros, so everyone uses reflection. That moves errors to run-time. Add to that the typical enterprise patterns like dynamic dependency injection and you end up with very dynamic deployments.

I disagree with all three claims.

It would be weird if everyone wanted the same thing, Vulkan or otherwise, but it seems quite clear that where Apple wanted something and some others did not, Apple got its way more often than not.

by tormeh 3y ago
Not really. Many wanted Vulkan for the web. But Apple virtually had a veto, apparently: https://cohost.org/mcc/post/1406157-i-want-to-talk-about-web...

I think the story was that Apple refused to ship/implement Vulkan drivers for their computers, and everyone was scared of this happening again with WebGPU, so Apple got their way with the design of WebGPU.

Why? Isn’t it easier to bundle your dependencies rather than deal with whatever may or may not be installed on the client system?

Crysis is single-threaded, so CPUs still struggle with it. When the game was programmed CPUs were really single-core, so this was normal.

Good point. You could probably charge a premium for convenience, but would be hard to make it worth it.

Rolex would presumably never again sell to the dealer that allowed one person to buy this much inventory.

Open source generally wins once the state of the art has stopped moving. When a field is still experiencing rapid change closed source solutions generally do better than open source ones. Until we somehow figure out a relatively static set

It's a decent consulting business, but where's the moat? I don't see the case for VC money. This seems more appropriate for a bank loan or something.

They haven't stopped working on it, so it's not finished. That's what the word "finished" means.

They're still releasing patches, so this is an exaggeration. It's very playable, though.

My guess is it'll never have an official Linux release. Besides, proton is so good at this point that it will usually outshine a cheap Linux port. In fact, due to the lack of backwards compatibility in Linux land, the Windows edition o

I've only played it on Linux. Basically, you can assume any Windows game sold on Steam works on Linux. It's not always true, but it's true often enough that I don't normally check protondb anymore.

It's not a monopoly, so no. Would make just as much sense to ask for a DMCA takedown of the trains.

Writing GUIs can be easy. It’s just hard on the web. Some complexity is unavoidable, but the web stack is so broken it makes things 5x harder than it needs to be.

They can continue to work on it, but without the parliament's approval it cannot become law.

German Tüv recently released their annual car inspection statistics report. This is of course backwards-looking, but I suspect manufacturers preferred trade-offs and culture don't change that fast. Volkswagen did a clear sweep, and on

With such a privacy-first config, might be easier to use librewolf as a base instead of plain firefox.

The emojis themselves aren't a problem. I love silliness. They just seem to be correlated with rugpulls.

The WasmEdge README gives me the heebie-jeebies. Starry-eyed emojis, highlights use-case for today's most trendy thing even though it's general-purpose, mentions blockchain. This reeks of former cryptobros chasing the next big thi

Microphone on mine was pretty bad, without exaggerating. The procedure for updating the BIOS was the worst I’ve ever seen. Maybe if you run TuxedoOS it can be done in a better way. I once left it at full charge on the shelf for a month (pos
