Yeah it really sucks that you can't get a normal computer with decent A/V capabilities (or expansion slots to add them) and instead have to opt for a workstation you don't need since "normal" users apparently only use…
but is it /consistent/?
It doesn't help that different brands of OS used different terms for the same thing. The screen saver mixup makes no sense though. That can only mean one thing.
on the desk/in the cabinets has worked as a metaphor for anyone I've had to explain it to.
It will be taken down because it's illegal for that content to be posted /at all/. The proposed system is about who has the rights to post something, and a delay while that's figured out. However /nobody/ has the right…
Regardless of whether or not cp is against the tos, or there is a legal process in place for takedowns, the law against cp existing will kick in faster as sharing it is a criminal act regardless of why, who, or what…
I would like to point out that at some point in this debate the goalposts were moved from a civil case to a criminal one, and the liabilities (and harm) are entirely different.
As another datapoint, this is also pretty standard in Japan. However Japan's school-to-salaryman hiring pipeline is built around the idea that you're not changing jobs, and after the 3-month probationary period (though…
Right but I can simply choose another Linux and /not lose any functionality from my system/. Unfortunately if I choose anything other than iOS or Android on a consumer computing slab it's effectively a paperweight.
Yeah this design is pre-mmu and virtual memory, and NeXT/Apple solved it with bundles (store the streams as separate files in a specially named (ends in .app, .bundle, .framework etc) directory that the OS presents as a…
I think the only SoC that's close is the one that comes on the Raspberry Pi 1-3, since they even got broadcom to release the docs for the VideoCore IV GPU. It's still not completely documented, but it's better than most…
Resource Forks were necessary on early Macintosh so that the OS itself could partially load programs into RAM when you only had 512K or so, loading resources as needed. You could argue that your resources instead should…
for me BGFX has become the API since I'm basically tired of wrassling how fragmented graphics programming seems to be. I just wish the shader language wasn't semi-custom GLSL-with-C-macros so I could use existing…
They fixed it with an update this month, but CrowdStrike was hooking /every/ single call to NtCreateUserProcess on my work machine last month, and you /know/ how electron-based apps work. VSCode took so long to launch…
In which case, I would find myself uttering the phrase "Tokyo has no public transit" which I don't think is the case. Every train in Tokyo is inter-city rail, and I think that seems to work just fine.
As someone from the east coast who's done both Seattle to Portland and Boston to New Haven, the difference is nuts. From what I understand, Amtrak owns the tracks on the NY-BOS stretch, but everywhere else has to yield…
I'm not sure what your definition of public transport is. Regarding Japan, if you mean "publicly owned" then Japan Rail is private. If you mean "available to the public" then I can walk into Tokyo station 10min before a…
I've literally never found anything better than the NX-based NoMachine (I think version 3 was the last one to support it). I'll never understand why they downgraded themselves to yet another desktop video stream. If you…
weirdly for me google meet is the only one that works and everything /else/ has problems, especially discord.
I still have a moment when I think of all the "hey look we have shaders!" games released in the early xbox 360 era when I hear the phrase "bloom filter"
"block fees" or "blocking rights"? You can't just rename "paid exclusives" and make it the new scary. Consoles have had this sort of thing since at least the original Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1985.
I thought it was going to be about USB
My first 6502 bringup on a breadboard was just a CPU and ROM (no RAM) with A9'H'A9'e'A9'l'A9'l'A9'o' while it was attached to a logic analyser so I could see if it was running. Shortly after I got ram working and added…
I used to serve my pages declared as XHTML from free webhosts (remember those loads of 100-ish MB hosts that kept springing up in the 2000s?) that had the added side-benefit that the injected banner adverts were not…
Haxe is wild to me since I recently started learning it and realised it's basically TypeScript but before TypeScript. Since it's statically typed and can hit C#/Java/C++/JS, I really want to try it in line of business…
