Got a Mac for work. I’m sure I’m holding it wrong, but to me it just doesn’t measure up to Linux/Gnome. Of particular annoyance is that Mac will just ignore my scroll wheel input sometimes. I suspect it’s a heuristics thing aimed at tr

Of course it's about density, but car-centric cities aren't really forced to become dense until they cross that 2-3 million threshold somewhere. But that's not what I wanted to say. The issue with the Netherlands is that the

What's your definition of recent? Anything with Vulkan, DX12, or Metal support should work. wgpu also has best-effort support for OpenGL 3.3. The situation seems similar with Dawn.

> 70% of people outside Paris and Lyon drive to work I don't see a problem with this. You use whatever works the best, and for smaller cities and towns that's going to be a car. Public transport only starts to make sense above

Standardized infotainment dimensions and connectors are pretty sweet stuff, and I wish it'd make a return. Looking at cars now it all seems so custom.

There's a threshold around 2-3 million inhabitants where cars just stop working, and you need to start building the Kowloon Cube. If you live in a city with less than 200k inhabitants car-oriented development is the only thing that mak

> Suburban bus transport is equally shit in Europe and USA [paraphrased] Ridiculous thing to say. Suburbs, as a consequence of their low density, must have bad or nonexistent public transport - unless you somehow finance a billion busses

Rural Poland can be really sad, at least. When I crossed the border from southern Poland to Czechia, there was a dramatic difference in just a kilometer or two.

Depends if you mean urban or rural Poland, and western or eastern Poland. The variance is rather extreme, like in many eastern EU countries.

> But you don't have rtx, peasant! [j/k] On Linux it's basically the opposite now. Nvidia should basically be seen as unsupported, which to be clear is 100% Nvidia's fault.

From one rich country to another, yes, not at all common. But the EU consists of both really rich and really poor countries. Moving from a poor country to a rich one for a job is rather common, especially if the two countries are close, lik

The git history of a project is the main source of knowledge on that project, once the people that wrote it are gone. The git history answers questions such as "wtf is that supposed to do?", "what's this code connected t

The console toolchains are proprietary and locked behind NDAs. An engine cannot be both open source and support consoles. What it can (and Godot does) is have a closed-source version of the engine (or just plugins) that you are only permitt

And this is pure ray tracing without any of the tricks required for real-time ray tracing. You’ll never get something looking quite as good in a game.

AGPL for thee but not for me, for I require MIT. To be fair, this is an entirely reasonable way to do business, but it's also a bit funny.

I hope you're trolling, because that's definitely not how that works.

No argument there. AMD really shat the bed. But if you go with a single supplier, it’s pretty weird to make the pricing agreement “we’ll pay whatever you charge”.

I really wish the ML researchers would have stayed with Vulkan or OpenCL instead of standardising on CUDA. Everyone must have known how it would end.

An easy way to explain this is increased health care and old-age care costs due to an ageing population. I haven't verified it for Canada in particular, but I'd be surprised if this wasn't the cause.

> Johansson, however, has not blinked. “The privacy advocates sound very loud,” the commissioner said in a speech in November 2021. “But someone must also speak for the children.” This is too on-the-nose. Incredible.

I work to earn money, I work to feel useful, I work for the challenge, etc. I do not really work to deliver adtech or LoB features. That's just a (un?)fortunate byproduct of the process.

Have you considered not basing your life decisions on spite/opposition? I mean, vaccines are great and all, but your reason for taking the covid one is a little amusing. I guess I just really dislike the culture war.

Is there any collaboration tool (reviews, etc.) that uses git itself to sync the status? Adding email or whatever seems unnecessary, and github et al. seem contrary to the spirit of git.
