i'd rather have MS taking 8GB away from my 1TB disk than having Linux taking away at least 6 hours of my life per week cause something broke or cause I have to hoop through the entire internet to install or configure…

Is there any software that can generate CSS visually by combining nodes in a graph, akin to shader graphs in game engines? (https://unity-connect-prd.storage.googleapis.com/20200902/le...). It'd be so useful for stuff…
The problem is that it's gonna be hard to use WebGPU in such cases, because when you go that "high" you usually require bindless resources, mesh shaders, raytracing, etc, and that would mean you're a game company so…

Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that one.

I have a M1 laptop so I kinda suffered some aspects of MacOS. But, when I have a problem, it just feels like this: Windows: Chances are the problem doesn't exist. Linux: Spend 6 hours to fix it. MacOS: Spend 50$ for…
I have to pay my bills today, not whenever the professional software I use gets released on Linux. Also, the Linux experience is so miserable that if Windows were to die, I'd just switch to MacOS tbh.

I played mostly with friends and it was fun. When I first got into public lobbies - yeah, everybody was a kid and the first color shouted into the chat would get kicked. The trick I found was to switch the search…
Yeah! Thanks :)

I think web browsers should implement already an API that allows developers to track any user in a "private" way, by generating a unique hash using your computer specs or something, and make it different for each…
Unlike y'all, I actually love the website! I mean, yeah, it could use some extra opaqueness and padding, but it looks cool. Rad, even. Most of personal blogs in HN that I see on the top page usually look like they were…
