Trust me, laziness is a real thing; even when everything in the world points towards doing the work being the best thing for you, you just can't be bothered.

This is just the mod SDK, it isn't the Source engine code.

In one of the articles I read on this (sorry no link) I'm pretty sure it mentioned their new philosophy, for hardware and software, was rapid iteration.

They're implementing it at the moment, release channel FF doesn't have the capability yet.

Looking nice, hope they continue to improve performance and stability too. Having a huge amount of issues with the flash plugin at the moment, not sure if that's their fault or Ado…

Isn't it possible to just check the source code of FireFox addons? Would be good if somebody could confirm if that is the case.

Didn't they have to lure him away from the UK to be in a position to abduct him in the first place though? So really it depends where you are and what you're willing to do.

Honestly I think my next monitor will have to be a 120Hz 4k screen. I'm not sure I could take the step back down to 60Hz after getting used to it, for me it's a much bigger deal th…

I'd like to point out that as far as I'm aware modern French speakers rarely use ne pas and favour simply using pas to indicate a negative. Not to mean that says anything about dou…

I think the weirdest thing is that id Software have all their games ported for Linux (Excluding Rage) but haven't released them yet.

This is the sanest discussion of this topic I've seen so far, having this here adds something. This place isn't just for tech news anymore, whether that's a good thing I'm sure peo…

She was one of those people who manage to inspire emotion in others. A lot of bad, but she garnered (and still does somewhat) a huge amount of respect. For someone who has so much …

Honestly I think the vast majority of people (even on HN) feel fairly stupid when you read something like that. It's an utter blessing that there are people such as Carmack in the …

This is a very good point, depending upon speed there's really no upper limit to the frame rate necessary for 'smooth' motion. Also it's very, very annoying that Firefox is limited…

I actually really like their website; I don't like that it has such a small fixed width, but I'm quite drawn to the simple design. More than that it's very usable to, to each their…

I used to have this effect watching video game streams in 60FPS, and I have absolutely no conception of how this works at all (I mean games run at that FPS anyway, I cannot figure …

From personal experience that is far too low, I'd like to see the source for this.

It's not really too bad honestly, it's an acclimatisation thing. Spent a few holidays in places where it was regularly 35+ degrees and only really struggled for a day or two, I can…

Isn't the faster booting thing just exactly the same as only using hibernate on Windows 7? Granted I haven't looked into it fully but I doubt the actual cold boot speeds vary wildl…

The 60fps myth should be wearing thin by now, and I'm sad to see it repeated so often on HN. I don't have the relevant links available to me currently, but suffice to say the eye c…

Honestly, you get used to it. I say this just from watching game streams at 60 FPS, at first it looks like it's faster it should be somehow, but soon enough it just becomes normal …

Hopefully id get all their old games up on that list soon, they put in a lot of effort over the years when not many others were, a shame that changed recently though.

Was just looking at the Quake 3 demo and noticed the FPS was locked to 60. Wondering if this is a limitation of the demo or of the browser (FF nightly in my case). If so that may t…

I never shut down my PC (Basically always use sleep/hibernate) and have it running for weeks at a time with the only issue being Firefox freezing up now and again. I'd suggest the …

Bethesda killed their licensing, it's in-house only now.
