Ancient Greeks had a steam engine. They called it a Hero's engine. They used it as a toy. They couldn't use it as anything else than a toy. The reason they couldn't because they di…

That's what id Software did in December 2025. 165 of 185 of the studio's staff at the Dallas, TX office unionized with the Communications Workers of America (CWA).

1) They were in browsers since 2000s. Then Steve Jobs held a grudge with Adobe and Flash took a major blow. Today, we successfuly reinvented the wheel using "open" technologies - o…

Epic's Unreal Engine development is made in Perforce, and then it was mirrored to git/Github. Or that's how it was a couple years ago. That's kind of expected, VCS is one thing, a …

There's basically zero apps without some sort of analytics nowadays.

Any particular program? GNU Radio seems perfectly fine.

Well, you were talking about testing, development of DPI-aware apps is another thing. It requires the developers to be, well, DPI-aware, but I don't think there are particular obst…

I’m not your child, and that’s false, it’s literally one key to change in the settings. That allows you to select the exact scaling factor, not macos’s “more text”/“less text”.

What kind of windows programs are these? HiDPI is more than a decade old. A desktop application, no matter what OS it is, should always be tested with different scaling factors.

People also use usable mice instead of touchpads, and they put the "ctrl" key where Apple thinks a useless "fn" should be. All kinds of things happen outside Apple world. To me, it…

What's funny is from 2023 (I think), macOS just draws the UI unhinted. You have a 1080p display and you don't want to see the letters in the UI blurred to death? Tough luck, 1080p …

So, you never iterated past an array, you never used after a free(), you never tried doing i = ++i + ++i; ?

There are so many Russian émigrés in Belgrade that you hear Russian more than Serbian in the city center.

And I'm happy that they are happy, but Czech keyboards have so many letters they have to use the number row, and Polish words, as beautiful as they are, have a lot of digraphs.

The author had an agenda to push, and they generated a load of slop to support it. Obviously, the usage of Latin alphabet today is also a political tool to support the Roman Empire…

No, not strange, selective enforcement is what's strange. In London, it's illegal to shake rugs in the street. If police actually starts prosecuting people for that, and not all pe…

OK, can't argue with that. I have no first-hand experience on this, you are probably right.

Why not? The friendliest people in the US are exactly in the open carry states. NYC on the other hand has the biggest number of jerks per capita I ever seen. (No offence to all nic…

"My shepherd pokes me with a stick, but it's the tree's fault that this stick is so sharp".

Okay, but how could the fact that these elements are in a partially ordered set, or whatever set, trump the basic law of logic, the law of identity, "a = a"? Or the argument is tha…

>With not-numbers added to the set of FP numbers, the set becomes a partially-ordered set and all relational operators must be interpreted accordingly. The same not-number, produce…

It's the only "primitive type" that does that. If I deserialize data from wire, I'll be very surprised when the same bits deserialize as unequal variables. If it cannot be represen…

NaN that is not equal to itself _even if it's the same variable_ is not a Python oddity, it's an IEEE 754 oddity.

What if there was a voluntary indication of LLM content? Like, you press a checkbox "yes, I'm going to post some content that is partially or fully created by AI", and there would …
