Special purpose keyboards can make sense (see e.g. music editing keyboards with sliders and volume knobs), but I'm with you that in this case the website totally fails at making a …

Both of those games are live services games. They're not just getting some occasional bug fixes, they get big content updates.

My argument isn't that one side is right and the other one is wrong. I'm not asking for sensitivity towards any side either. I'm talking about there being change at all. I'm hoping…

Sure, but that's just arguing over the morality of terms. On the one side you have people worried that their culture is being destroyed, on the other side you have people worried t…

What's the difference between calling it "woke agenda" or "market changes"? Seems to me you agree with the other poster, that AAA game devs now make games targeted towards differen…

If Steam were that shallow you would see competing efforts like Origin, Uplay, Epic Games Store etc take off. In reality Steam is anything but shallow, it's the cumulation of two d…

They can always unban it later when we arrive at that reality.

If Apple locks supplier prices for years in advance, then why is it raising the prices of all its products? Just greed?

That depends on where you live. In my country the government keeps an up-to-date db. Everything else in the country depends on and queries that db too, so it's not isolated.

Not just any index, it's the most important index.

The designing is the hard part. Writing code from a comprehensive design spec is a small part of the task. So, people do know how to design a feature, but they also know it takes a…

Yes and Svelte automatically namespaces them, so there's no collisions.

I found the At a glance section especially funny. Just a ton of buzzwords compressed together. One of the most dense tables I've ever seen on GitHub.

This is answered in the first paragraph of the article. Painting requires re-calculating the weight, strength and aerodynamics. Paint does not weigh zero, it changes the flexibilit…

Well as someone who does buy PC fans, let me tell you that Noctua is clearly superior. It may be just a plastic fan with some bearings, but it doesn't seem to be easily replicable …

> does not impact performance at all Noctua fans are still the top #1 performers in the world. You can argue that it's diminishing returns and you can get a fan with 90% of the per…

Overtook Lego? In what way, quality of the bricks? Because Lego is still the largest toy company in the world by revenue.

AI. GitHub usage has exploded recently due to the ease at which code can be generated.

As I read it I couldn't help but envision this being a simple case of LLM-automated support going wrong. The mistakenly transferred domain was in the e-mail that asked for a transf…

Kind of hilarious though that it talks about scope creep and then transitions into a whole different long topic.

It's tradition at this point. Based on the upvotes the comment receives, it looks like many readers find value in it.

They do not. I've never had to present any documentation whatsoever to Hetzner and have been a happy customer for many years. As I understand it, they ask only from accounts that c…

OnlyFans already has a lot of AI generated content. If you look at the usual scammer gathering places, you'll see a bunch of dudes discussing the latest trends in polishing their v…

You can, but it's more than a warning. VeraCrypt has a signed kernel driver, which has higher requirements. You'll need to boot into a special Windows mode and disable Driver Signa…

Well, no, Office is now also called Copilot. They renamed it!
