I personally feel that as long as you are above a certain aptitude threshold (one that's closer to the average than the best) in some field, you can achieve a lot more than the average person through the power of routine daily work. Ac

In the context of practising a piece initially much slower than it's intended to be played: > The probability of playing incorrectly is nearly 100%, because there is almost an infinity of ways to play incorrectly but only one best w

The readmes in each section are fantastic. Also, I cannot believe how straight-forward bootstrapping is on a modern ARM chip compared to x64, where things become painful quickly thanks to decades worth of backwards compatibility. Enabling t

Yeah, I don't know how America can be considered a so-called "free country" when the people living there will get angry at me for using slurs and being generally discriminative. I'm sure it's just a matter of time u

Can't be sure, and forgive me if this is already what you mean by disabling "Internet Search", but I suspect you are experiencing this because of Bing's involvement in the start menu search. To fix it, you have to regedi

While I am sure many kids would be swayed without it, the potential to make "serious cash" is one of just three things they highlight about their platform on their creator page: https://www.roblox.com/create

True, it's not a real problem in most scenarios if incremental compile times are good. I still feel uneasy depending on so many other crates, but this seems to be a level of paranoia that others in the community don't share. Havin

Not related to async in Rust, but a 26 sec clean build time for a project with 69 dependencies and no code of its own just to get to the point where we can "do something useful" feels a little wasteful.

One frame, in this case, is the time it takes to do a full iteration of its loop containing all the input handling and rendering, up to and including the point where it flips its buffers for the main screen. Enabling v-sync would bring that

The compiler isn't even smart enough to switch for-loops that iterating over a grid when they would greatly improve cache usage. Swapping the lines `for (x=0; x<width; x++)` and `for (y=0; y<height; y++)` can give insane speedups

Tweak New Twitter has made the Twitter experience so much nicer for me. I basically only follow 2 categories of people: People I know and artists. With retweets in a separate tab, I only see the content I signed up for when I clicked the fo

Around the time GGPO's source was published, I wrote a very, very simple fighting game to test how to use it. Maybe of interest to those in here: https://gitlab.com/DixieDev/ggpo_example/-/blob/maste

Looking at the comments in the Reddit threads they've linked, you can really see how poorly Mozilla has managed their brands as they've transitioned to making more products under the Firefox umbrella. Most people seem confused abo

There are plenty of other chess channels using the words "black" and "white" to describe each side that have yet to be automatically and mysteriously banned. If it were as simple as usage of the word "black" in

Between the Hong Kong shenanigans, 2019 layoffs, and abysmal WC3 remaster release and support, it's hard to support anything this company does these days.

I find the hassle of having multiple game launchers installed to be pretty insignificant. In exchange, developers have more freedom regarding where they're willing to publish, and have the opportunity of exclusive deals that bring in m

They should absolutely be allowed to reveal legally obtained true information about people's identities, but the vital 'legally' part of the process should encompass said people's consent. If I start a blog that sees som

Not a Dropbox user myself, but this system of counting shared files towards your quota seems pretty awful, and I'm surprised I've not seen more complaints about it. Do other cloud storage providers work this way?

I would recommend avoiding any language in production environments until they at least hit version 1.0, unless you're able and willing to contribute by dealing with issues you encounter as you go, and fixing backward compatibility brea

I like Rust for the reason you've stated, but it is absolutely both complex and full of potential for implicit behaviour. `Copy`, `Deref`, and `Drop` traits immediately spring to mind, but there are also weirdly specific things like ha

It's hard to rationalise putting together a fully fledged guidebook when the lang is still quite unstable, with things changing very regularly. Once it hits 1.0, or possibly a short time beforehand, more people will be willing to both
