Your painting the right as "no taxes" I think they'd paint as "quit wasting money". As an example, SF has the highest tax revenue per capita in the USA https://www.usnews.com/news/…

as others have pointed out, the defualt photos app is designed to do the best for the average user. If you want control of every feature and no post processing then download a diff…

It is close to deprecation. In fact it's already deprecated on a device ~50% of American's use (an iPhone). It's also deprecated on MacOS. Many hardware manufactures are getting ri…

Given that OpenGL is basically deprecated at this point this arguably is no longer "modern 3D graphics programming" If you still want to learn OpenGL there's https://learnopengl.co…

was there ever a setting for this? I always used gSwitch or gfxCardStatus to varying degrees of success

No, the problem is bad developers pulling in dependencies for trivial functionally. If there was a `for-loop` npm package bad devs would be pulling it in instead of writing their o…

it's becoming the same in rust. Here's the rust official docs https://github.com/rust-lang/docs.rs Follow the build instructions, then you get to `cargo build` you'll see this mess…

curl | bash doesn't bother me because I do it like twice a year from sites I trust. On the otherhand, the node crowd uses "npx command" all the time where npx will download and exe…

As is often commen, wikipedia is plain wrong. I've never heard this opening narration and I saw it on opening day

?? I saw it in the theater when it opened. nothing was ruined. maybe there is a second cut I'm unaware of. Certainly the cut Roger Ebert gave 4/4 stars, which is the original theat…

I skipped that by choosing lisp as my scripting language. took a day to implement. no complex parser required for config I used ini files, super simple to parser (and now json so a…

At the time a single seat of PowerAnimator, the predecessor to Maya, cost $50k-$60k. $30k was for the SGI machine to run it and the other half was the software license. Microsoft b…

It's not doing what I expect. Oh? Change the spec It's not doing what I expect. Oh? Change the code How is that different from now?

Not to defend the OP because I agree that null is bad. But, in my limited experiecne with Swift I just add a few characters at the right place and the null's are now incorrectly ig…

This is the equivalent to "why does modern music suck" (said by every generation of the next generation's music) Scott Alexander posted something similar https://astralcodexten.sub…

now if it was just an executable file and didn't require a package manager or compiling to install it would be flawless.

My guess the limits are because, WebP is based on WebM (video) I agree those limits are too small.

Do you have any proof of this or just a gut feeling? Immediate mode guis do cache stuff, at least Dear ImGUI, one of the most popular Immediate mode guis caches. Further, at least …

Irrelevant, the apps it's being used for would run fine on a 25yr old machine at 60fps. You shouldn't need multi-threading to render a few thousand objects and most UI apps of the …

you can always have your car painted or wrapped. No reason the car has to come from the factory in a more interesting style https://www.google.com/search?q=amazing+car+wraps&source…

This not remotely true. There are plenty of karaoke songs that are the original recording from the original artist. At least in Japan, where the word "karaoke" originates

for me, I can't sing along if it's not close to the original because my brain remembers every tick of the original and wants to match the key of the original as well. Also, I had a…
