I don't really understand the issue. They say that people have a legal system if they're wronged by these companies. And it's clear that the legal system isn't an option for normal people when a company like UHS denies c

Why do you think most engineers would understand users particularly well? From my experience, they're the worst at empathising with users, understanding user pain points and the value of a good UX.

Growing up, I was tech support for family and friends of family and also my own friends. I eventually worked as a PC technician for a few years and now work as a software developer. I have a very keen eye for how bad UI/UX is for most

Honestly, I like that kind of functionality. But you don't need AI for that. There are websites that have been doing this for years.

They used to have great deals on the app in Germany. I used to go to McDonald's all the time. The deals suck now, and now I only go if I'm really craving a McMuffin Bacon & Egg. Whatever they're doing also isn't work

Just because everything is bound to the face buttons doesn't make it the best solution. Developers make do with what they have. Extra buttons mean I don't have to move my finger off the trackpad or joystick every time I want to do

I pretty much use them constantly. They're useful for playing any shooters or anything with mouse look, they're great for RTS, city builders, point and click adventure, Factorio, etc. Currently I'm playing Dawn of War, Ground

Why, just why won't any of the competitors make one of these handhelds with at least the same amount and types of input options as the Steam Deck. I'd love a higher performance handheld but none of them have two trackpads, gyro in

I don't think lock-in is the reason. The reason is more that companies like Asus and MSI have a global presence and their products are available on store shelves everywhere. NVIDIA avoids having to deal with building up all the require

I read the article. It provided pretty much all the facts required to get a sense of the problem. All Axios articles are written like this and it's great to get a no-nonsense or no fluff glimpse of a particular topic I wouldn't ha

I don't understand. Stories like what? The article points out a problem and the risks and the consequences. What are you talking about? Is there anything you specifically object to? Do you think elevator maintenance isn't an issue

So you'd rather them have a certain 100% chance of death instead of more leeway and a chance against much less robust trees? Honestly, if I crash land, I think I prefer 150 more meters and a tree as the obstacle over the concrete block

People keep saying that, but I don't see how it's excusable for there to be a massive concrete block against which planes disintegrate at the end of any runway. Maybe everybody would've died some other way, maybe only 10 peop

Well, I think it says more about mainstream media trying to paint Luigi as a villain and the CEO as an innocent victim, as well as social media suppressing any positive comments about Luigi. It's interesting to see the reach of the wea

Honestly, this is what a self-driving car should be. No interaction from the passenger required. Maybe eventually we'll be able to replace the human operator, but until then, risk averse AI where somebody remotely solves any unforeseen

Out of curiosity, what programming language and GUI is this written with? Can you write a bit about what the experience was like writing a multi-platform GUI desktop application?

I take it you meant to write every car older than 10 years is a manual?

I think you're misunderstanding the above comment. Buying a perpetual license for a particular version (or set of versions), then in the future optionally paying a fee for a new major version not covered by that license is extremely co

Sorry, you're right of course. I was on the phone and in a hurry and just took the terminology of the comment I was responding to without thinking about it. Static and dynamic typing are the correct terms. Strong/weak typing is th

I think what a lot of people miss is that this ripple effect always exists. Whether you have strong types or weak types, it's hard and often impossible to avoid. All strong types do is make it explicit at compile time (and with static

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it worked. I also wouldn't be surprised if it led to better outcomes if that's how we chose political representatives. The way we do it now just seems to select for the most corrupt, greed

A significant number of people have enough money that they can decide between options that cost less or more. Otherwise we wouldn't have $2000 phones or TVs that range from $500-100.000. If the number of people with sufficient budget t

Man, that would be a fascinating experiment. Would it be able to predict who wins and when? Would it be able to predict the Cold War?

Alcohol and it's something you can have on while sitting in the living room with the family, talking about random shit. It's a vibe thing. I certainly wouldn't put it on to watch alone. But in that setting? It's fun.

To expand on this a bit, in many places a software project without a license means that all rights are reserved by the author and that nobody else has any legal right to use it in any way. I'm not sure if unlicense/public domain w

It doesn't matter if you change the settings back. I don't know how it works, but something non-user configurable is changed that prompts Windows to require a reset of the TPM keys.

Steam isn't trivially replaceable. What are you talking about? No other platform matches them on feature set. Amazon also has a significant advantage in its logistics that underpin their entire business across the globe and that nobody

I have no idea how the other commenter could come to the conclusion that Steam is trivially replaceable.
