This isn't my area of expertise, but isn't DX12 a decade old at this point?

That's odd, because in my experience almost all games run best in "Borderless windowed" mode. You get full-screen performance with the ability to easily alt-tab without mode changes.

Too late to save the word "gaslight", that one has well and truly been rewritten to mean "lying to me".

I've had that in contracts, but have always crossed it out. I suggest you do the same. No employer I've seen has ever questioned it, they know it'd be illegal for them to actually force you to opt-out your of your rights. If

I had linkedIn email me to tell me "someone wrote to you". I opened it up and the "Message" turned out to be an advert for linkedIn premium.

If linkedIn stuck to showing you posts from people you're connected to, it wouldn't be so bad. But when half your feed is engagement bait or "inspirational" posts fed by algorithm under a "Suggested posts" bann

Even if it's only used by cops or family members it's still naked corruption. It's not nepotism or any lesser thing, it's outright corruption. It's also clear sign that you're living in a police state when the

I don't know about "recently", but things have certainly changed. Even when there was information available in the past, it wasn't always easy to access or understand, and more critically, the willingness and pace of sha

At a former company we once had an away day workshop where they allowed anonymous questions for the company director which would show up on a screen for everyone (it was a ~40-50 person company). We were a management consultancy and trialli

And they will mark all the advertising cookies as "Legitimate interest", as they've already started to do that with the confirmation prompts. The "legitimate interest" of selling you shit you don't want and sel

You've correctly identified a problem, but you've come to the wrong conclusion. If you ask someone their name, a single field copes with a range of different name shapes. If you want to address them in an email with "just fir

This blog is a fantastic journey, it was well worth reading the whole thing.

It's funny how the mind plays tricks with our memories too. I could have sworn myspace was around ~2000/1, but apparently it wasn't founded until 2003.

I presume you mean en-GB (British English) not en-UK?

Not just navigation, but typing too. Just typing a word results in letters overwriting themselves because the next letter comes in before it's transitioned to the next space, so you have to type artificially slowly.

That part is misleading and not present in the original article (headline or body).

That's trite. You could make that argument in reverse, why not a 50 hour or 60 hour week?

I think you may have misunderstood the MailChimp pricing page, it has "Standard" plans all the way up to 100,000 contacts. It's certainly not cheap at that scale, but the 10k package for $135 is comparable to Buttondown.

You can even do something akin to this package with the "InternalsVisibleTo" property on the assembly, so you can expose your internal classes to other specified assemblies. For non-C# folks, Internal classes are normally visible

So now when you want to use a dependency, you have to update that dependency? Isn't that a maintenance headache which doesn't really stop people doing that anyway? I understand the desire for this, having long and messy dependency

Yes, this is less like canning a product and more like embracing a better standard. If this was Apple instead of Google, this would be celebrated as a positive step forward. I guess it shows the importance of messaging and marketing (and re

It's clearly not objective, or at least not well explained, MailChip appears to be given a "pricing score" lower than most others that are listed with a higher price.

I'm the opposite, when I first read P&V's Crime and Punishment it felt more like transported to 19th century Russia, compared to the previous version I'd read (I don't remember whom, perhaps Constance Garnett), which

Isn't deadlock just Valve's take on Valorant? It will need to do something very fresh if it wants to compete. Valorant felt extremely fresh and slick compared to both CSGO and Overwatch while fitting nicely inbetween. They brought

This was in the context of needing to give a location for an ambulance, not for addressing things. It's an ephemeral location for an ephemeral need.

If you drop a pin in google maps it shows you the lat/lon, e.g. 51.5010392, -0.1423616 7 decimal places of lat/lon is approximately a centimetre.

Indeed. If it's an issue that someone would know your address, then it's an issue that they would know your postcode. If it's an issue that someone would know your postcode, then it's an issue that they would know your a

If that weren't true, you'd have entire cities in the same postcode. There has to be a boundary somewhere.

It's a lookup between postcode and address, what is the abuse cases you're worried about?
