Like for an espresso machine or a printer, the incentive is put on the consumables. Peoples trust Steam and their frequent sales, not so much XBox and the rest of the platforms, so…

Wait, you can't play Minecraft on GNU/Linux anymore? I've bought the things for 10 bucks when it was still an alpha on TIGForum, it's been decade since I played the game but it nev…

Tangential but I've recently discovered that an app I've written and published on F-Droid has been forked and put on Google Play with ads on by some Chinese forefront along side a …

Are you just posting every links you come across everyday without checking them to farm 'karma'? It's like the fourth entry level computer graphics API tutorial you post in 48H.

The whole piece feel like vibe farming by some youngling piecing together part of the hacker culture as seen by the media in the 90s with some reddit or vintage tumblr trends on to…

I'm always saying it's better to finish on a good note rather than a bad one, " but " (eg. "You're stupid but I love you" vs "I love you but you're stupid"), but that's the kind of…

Frugality is a state of mind, feeling guilty about it is not a frugality problem more than a labeling one. It's the same for climate change, a lot of people want to feel good about…

I'm under the impression, maybe wrongly so, that every other week we saw a primer on some basic CG stuff: Bézier curves, Fourier transforms, Dithering, Tonemapping, ..etc, of theme…

I find it quite interesting that peoples talking on a website called "hacker news" find it fine that a company selling you an OS make it harder for you to install app not approved …

Albeit I agree with the general thesis, I find it funny that the very next sentence after the author say: > the moment I find something that crosses my desk which starts with “it’s…

Personally I use stars in two ways: 1) It's interesting and I want to keep track of it for possible future use and 2) It's a fantastic idea and kudos to you even if I'll never use …

I can understand how a technology, this one or any others, can be a fun and interesting tool, a creative one even, but a few things bother me a lot about it which all can be summar…

It's funny and beautiful because I recognized the sounds from my country but less so those from other places, which obviously might be a bias due to me seeing where the pointer is …

This make me think of the GitHub spamming issue. See, my GitHub email is not my main address, and when I got some it's either from a user of one of my repository or from a marketin…

It's a lot of words to say "it's well done texturing".

> This is one of the best things about writing online: your future friends will seek you out. Do I live in the same reality as the author? is that really a thing as in "it happens …

You guys using convoluted git commands when a single line of subversion works: svn checkout https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/trunk/tensorflow/ex...

> Imagine how many small donations are made to some non-profit cause and then up being wasted on paying for fancy proprietary fonts. I can imagine they'll take the angle it helps i…

I understand it's a meme, but you're not "touching grass" if you need the mediation of an app to do so. It's engineer logic 101, when technically true does not mean ontologically t…

Interesting, in my experience LLMs hallucinate so much on stuffs I know about that I instinctively challenge most of their assumptions and outputs, and found out that this kind of …

It's funny because I rarely seen this (wrong approach) done anywhere else but I pick it up by myself (like a lot did I presume) and still am the first to do it everytime I see the …

> All of this led to quite a vicious backlash against me personally, with countless angry comments about and directed at me across YouTube and social media, which included many dea…

As cool it might get to badmouth the new generation and how everything is getting south, I have found more and more attempts to get back to a more convivial and humane approach to …
