Like all AAA media in the age of supposedly social media, games became hostile to self-organizing communities that sustain themselves, because they want a push model for consumption where the producers decide what you…
Pipenv quickly becomes unusably slow. As in half hour to change one dependency. Poetry is strictly better, and I say that believing poetry is not a great solution either. There aren't many good, general recommendations…
IF fits my natural appetite and is easy for me to adhere to. My problem with it is I've discovered eating a small breakfast (~250 cal) immediately when I wake up is the single greatest aid to keeping my sleep schedule…
The average gold plan in the US is $575 premium per person per month. For the average household that would be thousands. The average monthly healthcare cost across all "levels" is about $975 per person.
I didn't say margin, I said profit, and you can click a tab over on any of those pages and see overall gross profit is up in 2020. What kind of rational baseline is assuming that increasing margin is the default neutral…
At one point in 2020 a majority of insured Americans treated for COVID (>80%) had the majority of their COVID-related treatment waived by the insurer. However, most insurers have been terminating these waivers since…
The problem is not necessarily lunatics who deny the reality of AGW, but energy companies, industry, and their political agents who have known the reality for over half a century. Lunacy was purposefully propagandized…

I'm also very sensitive to UI lag, but flagship phones are more a cause than a solution. If you're on Android, enable developer options and disable animations. Not only is your phone now many orders of magnitude more…
Rust has plenty of momentum and non-Mozilla core team members and contributors, and has been in the process of finding or creating a foundation to organize under for some time. Of course this will slow the pace of…
An international version of this was Oppenheimer's vision (both for peaceful nuclear applications and weapons) which he expressed in his personal writings and in the Acheson–Lilienthal report. It was not looked…
I went through a 4-5 year period in my late 20s working 60 hour weeks while also doing grad school and independent research for 60 hours a week, not getting enough sleep or taking enough time for physical and mental…
The vast majority of my bluetooth woes are not with bluetooth, but with the complete lack of configurability on Android and other devices. I end up pairing/unpairing my home speakers with my phone constantly, not…

I had a G200 and recall having random lines scattered over the screen in games courtesy of the OpenGL-via-Direct3D wrapper.
Matrox and S3 were also competitive in the consumer space before convergence on the big two.
Evernote is guilty of this. They don't create the password field until you've typed in your username, breaking every login manager. This along with their synchronization getting worse over time has effectively caused me…
Yeah, I don't buy the justification versus Julia because of community size either, given most of Swift's community has little to do with data science. The document even says as much, contradicting that rationale, later…
16:10 is great, although I did briefly trial run a Surface Book 2 and loved the 3:2 screen, as well as the rest of the hardware. Only decided against it because of the amount of compromises and maintenance when running…
I split my development time between a 2015 rMBP and a Precision 5530 (pro model of the XPS 15). I still can not switch fully to the Dell because of a few issues: - The touchpad is just garbage compared to the MBP, to…

I have far, far worse compression artifacts in cable broadcast (apartment provided, can't opt out) than from Netflix, and I can only pick out artifacts in Netflix 4K if I'm actively trying. Where streaming services do…
