I assume it's because age verification is something the attention slop merchants can work with, and they'd rather lobby for that instead of letting their entire business model be u…

I have a 20m fibre optic cable, these things are great. Thinner than a standard cable. They are unidirectional, but mine has a dedicated copper line for CEC. 4k 120hz is no problem…

> Reality is measurable Heisenberg would disagree.

Rust has a million ways to solve a specific problem, as it is not opinionated and gets you down to the lowest level if needed. On top of that there's a million ways to encode your …

that's pretty

> which is why your phone’s screen needs a higher resolution than your TV, and why a movie at the theater looks fine, even though it may only be 2K They should have measured the an…

Why is it http.Error(w, ...) and not w.Write(http.Error(...))? The latter would be way more clear in showing that nothing magical happens and a return (if wanted) is still necessar…

I meant the Ryzen CPU (is there a GPU with that name?), should have been more specific. My GPU is a GTX 1080 and it was unenjoyable to me with that CPU, now I have a 12600KF and it…

So that's why my 1600X was not good enough

It looks like they switched from .doc to .docx in January, I wonder if the old format was the attack vector

By C half-assedly trying to make "* " part of the name, just so you can use "* ptr" everywhere like it is an actual variable name, you get confusions such as this. First "foo_ptr's…

How does "built-in privacy" hold up when the bios are basically public? It looks like the generated links are just based on the person's name as well, so it would be pretty easy to…

These things are very vendor specific and proprietary, I was more thinking about general purpose programming languages.

There will never be anything that is as portable as text, and I think that is the sole reason we will never see any other widespread method of storing "code". Imagine having to upd…

So don't tell us to trust you?

Becoming a C++ expert is impossible in a lifetime, becoming a D expert is a matter of months. It is, from the very core, a way simpler language than C++. I'd argue it's simpler tha…
