    It's one thing if it's your laptop, but another if it's a system with billions of users.

    I think Fortnite uses a projectile bullet model while Call of Duty is all hitscan, but I could be mistaken. It’s been years since I played a CoD game.

    Lazy? Unclear? I would imagine it takes much more work to design something skeuomorphically than it would something flat. And clarity is the top priority - you should instantly kno…

    This title was very hard for me to parse. I think I reread it almost ten times.

    I’m sure Bezos would feel bad for anyone’s death in this case.

    I do the same thing and it’s great. You don’t lose an hour of sleep in the spring.

    This is completely tangential to your point, but why did you choose to use “she” as the pronoun in your last sentence? I see this more and more frequently, and I assume it has some…

    A 144hz monitor makes a huge difference. It will cut the inherent max latency of a display frame from 16ms to 6ms. They feel amazing.

    Right. It’s been a bit frustrating to see this in Gnome, but at least I can use another theme to shrink things back down a bit.

    A bot that doesn’t use the official registration method, which involves setting up an “application,” registering the bot, and then inviting it to your server. This labels it clearl…

    I can't stand sugar in savory foods. I had a friend tell me a handy tip at Thai restaurants is to ask for your food made with no sugar, so I tried it at my favorite place. The coll…

    Good thinking, someone like that is permanently tainted.

    Walking does a surprising amount of good for fitness too, if you can do enough of it. When I worked in a grocery store I was in great shape.

    The things have wifi and Bluetooth. Why couldn’t someone write a multiplayer game for the playdate?

    Don’t the new M1 macs still have 2 thunderbolt buses, even if they only have 2 ports? So with an adapter they’d be the same as the 4 port counterparts.

    Why do you think that most modern software should be written in a GC language?

    If we assume that the average gas tank is half full, and then a large number of people decide to top off their tanks, that could be a huge amount of fuel, right?

    Great post. As a man in my twenties, I think that, even though we’re hearing about this from the men at the bottom end of the sexual-success spectrum, the problem is still being fe…

    It's a common theme in posts from ESL programmers that they learned English as they needed while learning to program. I can't help but think that removing that necessity would allo…

    This is a nice feature that I often wish every text editor supported natively.

    This was my understanding as well, at least for the majority of memory related tasks. Edit: actually, it would help if I read the actual quote in your post. I think they’re right i…
