Imagine if we have 40 variants of assembly. Would software development have developed at the same pace? Personally for me, I am much less interested in the implementation in frontend and more interested in performance, accessibility, respon

More discussion should be had if the cascade is even beneficial in the first place. It's ironic because standard software development practices advocate isolation.

I created a whole Counterstrike map back in the day in a few days. Meanwhile, I can't get anything substantially done in Blender in a week. I just gave up.

My 6xx still worked when I left it at home when moving countries for my siblings to use. I really loved that headphone!

Didn't know that. This probably explained why MacOS felt sluggish compared to my Windows PC even though I was using them on the same 144hz monitor.

The Mac Pro would have been much more popular if MacOS was still compatible with Nvidia GPUs.

I find it much easier to cull photos quickly now by thinking that a bad photo will unlikely become a great photo just because you edited it. If it doesn't catch my attention on my first culling pass, I just delete without regrets.

My process is to take a lot of photos, then ruthlessly cull them before I do any editing. I usually keep around 10% of the total photos for editing. After that, I do another round of culling and keep only the best. I also follow a philosoph

Genuinely asking: if you are touch typing, do you really need keyboard backlighting?

I feel its because of iOS aggressive RAM saving feature rather than the lack of RAM. I know this because I still get some of my web pages refreshed even if the browser is literally the only app that is running.

I agree. In my youth, I will just read anything that catches my fancy. Nowadays, I have to be picky about what books I read, even one amongst a pool of books that I like. That or I have to reduce my time for my other hobbies.

It has always been a trade off of security and convenience. The fact is most people will favor the latter.

For me, it's just deteriorating attention span. It's hard for me to get into books nowadays. But if I manage to get through a few pages, the momentum carries me through. I don't hate reading. I just have trouble starting.

Is the one-time purchase versions guaranteed for life? If not, then this would likely go the way of others before where it will eventually be removed.

I thought EDH would satisfy my casual interest in MTG. But it ended up being worse than competitive play because of politics, vague deck building restrictions for balance(brackets) and difficult to organize people to play. I settled into bo

I see at least 2 reasons why we don't see proxy play in MTG. One is the strong dependence on your peers for approval. If your group is against proxies, then you are screwed. Second is that there are now more ways to play against each o

The question for moving to new languages is always if there are enough jobs for it.

That's true. But then if you are building a PC, prices are going up anyway so maybe in that comparision the Steam Machine is still worth getting.

I have just discovered Strudel last month. Even as an owner of Ableton, there is just something compelling about coding music in.

Then it will compete more with those entry-level SFF PC builds. I still hope that they will compete with console pricing though.

Wasn't that the desktop mode of SteamOS?

Valve making more devices to propogate Steam is a good thing. If they achieve critical mass, EA will then be pressured to implement a compatible solution.

by arvinsim 10mo ago
Good thing Valve is not a publicly traded company unlike Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. > This is the mindset that makes the Steam Machine DOA if not priced correctly. No one will pay $800 just to play Hollow Knight in 4k I will pay that

I agree with the other guy. Just plugging in my M1 Max Macbook to an external 4k monitor makes it hot to touch. I don't what they are doing with the cooling on this laptop.

MacOS still doesn't separate trackpad and mouse scrolling settings. Ended up having to install a 3rd party mouse scroll reverser to get the behavior I want.

I have always been interested in Elixir but have been putting off learning it because I don't see many job opportunities for it(at least here in Asia). But your comment has convinced me to try it since I am having a bit of NextJS burno
