For me, I (very rarely) boot into Windows for gaming. And I sometimes use a Windows 10 mini PC for Fusion 360 and Lightroom (because emulation is too slow).

Nonsense. People almost always use browsers maximized. And many people have 2.5k or 4k screens. Even on 1080p screens full width text is unreadable. I seriously doubt there are any people who resize their browser window every time they swit

"Emilia Pérez" has 13 oscar nominations. It's the worst film I've ever seen. Critic reviews mean nothing, because they form a clique which moves simultaneously.

The only reason more Israelis haven't died is because Israel builds bunkers and iron dome rockets to protect its civilians. Hamas builds tunnels to protect its rockets and hides among civilians. You can't compare the death of peop

> killing a ton of their own people on Oct 7 This is how ridiculous things have gotten. HN has quite civilized discussions, and even here people are blaming Jews for Oct 7 and getting upvoted for it. I wouldn't be surprised if in a

The Mordechai Vanunu case is a bit different as he was convicted of treason (he leaked details of Israel's nuclear bombs while in Britain). It makes sense for treason to apply everywhere. If that were not the case Britain could not hav

> I think the anti-vax thing is mostly because the average Western education level is just abysmal. What does the West have to do with it? Non-westerners are even more into folk medicine and witch doctors.

What is so surprising to us who know history is that the Irish are supporting the colonizers. Jews are in their homeland. It's the Arabs who are colonizers. There are 38 million Americans who identify as Irish. Is America the Irish hom

Russia was suspended because of the invasion. That would mean that Gaza should be banned from Eurovision (which I support).

You're a clear example of what Charlie was not. You're not respectfully engaging in this discussion. GP said Charlie Kirk was respectful during debates. You tried to deny this, not by showing one of his college debates, but by tak

There are so many terms in software which are nonsensical (starting with "computer science") which could be fixed. The problem with changing whitelist to "allowlist" is that it implies that people who use whitelist are r

My experience: hosted LLMs are very good, but even 30B models you run locally are quite poor (at least in Romanian). To some degree they still hallucinate words (they don't conjugate properly sometimes).

This is the exact same issues Facebook/YouTube/etc had with ads. In the end, ads won. Google used to segregate ads very clearly in the beginning. Now they look almost the same as results. I've switched to DDG since then, but

It wouldn't be a problem is Python had block level variable scope. Having that destructuring be limited to the 'case' would be fine, but obliterating the variable outside of the match is very unexpected.
