I always turn off Android's animations in the developer settings and it makes everything so much more usable. (Animation Scale: 0x, I believe is the setting)

Yeah, even if you look up reviews of a particular model, chances are the manufacturer doesn't make that one anymore (it's over a year old!) and just has some seemingly-identical on…

I did this a couple of months back. Ended up refunding the game after spending nearly two hours "playing" the account creation game. If someone doesn't want my money, that's fine b…

I specifically bought an AMD card for my living room Steam box, and I've had way more driver issues with that computer than when it had an nVidia card (although there's also other …

Yeah but the display server people are different from the WM/DE people. And the former kinda just said "coding is hard" and made it all the responsibility of the WM/DE people.

I had the physical DC barrel jack port fall out the back of a monitor the other day. Granted that's not the connector per se.

I wouldn't call running a vegetable shop "politics", even though politics clearly affects the environment you operate in (tax rates, bylaws, heck some weird dystopian place could b…

Then use a non-buggy browser...

You can disagree, but "Presumably you meant the opposite of what you said" is condescending nonsense.

I know all the reasons it "wouldn't work", but I'd love to see somewhere try this.

The commonly cited source says, when you take the entire sentence, "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all …

So, big enough for a 25GB game but not a 150GB game? I will be amused if we get stats in the coming month that the percentage of users installing the game on a HDD has decreased fr…

If they're not passed around as objects a la FILE*/fd they're not even really capabilities, just (sparkling) fine-grained ambient authority (which still has value to be clear).

You're already putting your trust in some mysterious first party to not embed malware...

Do factor in that people in a healthy marriage don't have a lot of marriages.

Presumably adding Redis to a new project with no performance issues (yet?) is the premature optimisation.

Quantity has a quality all its own.

If someone tells me x86, I am certainly thinking 32-bit protected mode not 64-bit long mode... Granted I'm in the weird space where I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to …

You don't understand why someone who uses Firefox specifically because of its stance on privacy would be upset that the ToS are being updated to be "basically [the] same language a…

Why would they have to go to Windows when systemd is bringing Windows to Linux?
