Thanks for bringing more details into light ! As I've said I don't know much about the space and sadly suspected that it wouldn't be great, but not to this degree. It's a bit sad a…

Well, there's an Arduino FPGA board : the MKR Vidor 4000[0] However I'm not sure how much people use it and if it really has the simplicity that Arduino brought to tinkering with m…

You're right, I misspoke ! For Zen 3 they announced the 5800X and released the 5700X later (with the same TDP as the GP's 3700X), whereas for Zen 4 they announced the 7700X and the…

They do[0]. It was released much later in the lifecycle of Zen 3 than the 4 "headline SKUs" that were launched here as well. I think we can expect the same for Zen 4. [0] https://w…

The parent is correct, in theory .eu requires residency or citizenship in order to register a domain[1]. After Brexit holders of .eu domains that did not meet the criteria lost the…

I have dabbled with quite a few assembly languages (8051, MIPS, A64 and a bit of x86), the first and second of which I learned in school. To be honest if your teacher is good and t…

You can already stream games from a Linux machine with Steam and then get to the desktop. It's baked in, but I'm not sure you can directly stream the desktop without launching a ga…

Minecraft is one of the biggest games of my teenage years, starting in Alpha, and I always was a bit paranoid, making backups and copies of things. As the sibling comment points ou…

To be fair, Valve already has a way to control mostly what is used by Steam and the game. They have their own runtime that uses (or can, can't remember if it's always the case) con…

That's fair, and I agree it would be much better if it was officially supported. I'm on a rolling release distro but I had to freeze all my GNOME packages to stay on 38 because of …

The thing is, you can change a lot of those things to match what you want. You can toggle the application menu, which works more like the windows menu. You can use something like d…

The French word has kept the root too : "condensateur" !

That's really interesting to me, because in Spanish we have the exact same word, "azar", but from how I understand it it's just randomness (apparently according to the dictionary s…

Really great post indeed ! As a small data point, I'm renting a 40-50 m² flat in the UK and only have a washer/dryer. No dishwasher and no additional plumbing for one.

Maybe someone has more "real" experience than me on this, but the article says : > Since IDE support for Java is much more advanced than for C++, most environments (Eclipse, Intell…

Some of the language specific IDEs do not have a free (community) version like CLion for C/C++ or Rider for C#/.NET/Unity (and Unreal Engine in the near future) and bring a lot to …

I get yearly prompts as well, on each of my 4 OS, only one of them being Windows. I might skew the results a tad !

That's a fair question and I wondered too. The way I understand it, it comes from multiple places : > You agree not to [...] copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works based upo…

While I do agree with you on the spoken side, there was a comparative study of spoken syllables per language floating around at some point [0], is this really true for written Japa…

I would tend to agree. Linux has been my main OS for the past few years in part because I agree with the principles behind it, but also simply because I _feel_ better using it than…

I figured there would be something like that. But then, why are the submarine cables not hidden as much ? Because they are physically harder to access ? Because they travel in shar…

I always love this map, you can find a lot of intersting info. Sometimes it makes me wonder about the history of such or such link. Is there any map of this quality of the entire w…

> When we queried on why Valve are now putting more up in the open on GitLab, instead of the GitHub that was being used originally, Besset mentioned to us "The projects you see on …

That's very true and why I avoided subscribing to magazines and other news sites. I ended up creating a category for them in my feed aggregator (self hosted FreshRSS, I'm quite hap…

I haven't given it much thought, but I like Jetbrain's compromise[0]. You pay a subscription to get all the updates, but you get to keep a perpetual license to any specific version…
