Back in my day, we used to call "closet management" and "outfit generator" a "wife".

This is a blog post, not a product launch. It's intended to be a foundation on which a "real" GUI library can be written. The author mentions that it is one of several steps that should allow the Java community to coalesce

I think an option could be GPU-accelerated drawing. It won't look native, but one can create a UI that performs well on just about any platform. Vulkan greatly improves the portability of such applications (compared to the OpenGL vs.

Honest question: can someone explain the focus a lot of the HN crowd seems to have on "native"-looking UI? I've used plenty of applications that don't look "native" and it doesn't bother me. Is there a r

Interesting project. I'm curious about his mention of server costs in the sponsor request - it looks like he's serving downloads of the icon pack from github, so that shouldn't be a big bandwidth cost. It appears that he&#x

Not to mention that there are lots of things we should have precisely because they are a threat to the state: encryption that the government cannot break, automatic weapons, individual autonomy, etc. These things all can be abused by &quot

This clearly isn't a popular opinion, but I may as well add it here: I like git. It's not that bad and not that hard to use. Occasionally I have to look up how to do something, usually involving git-filter-branch. But that&#x27

Some guy wrote a tool to intercept the keys for level three on windows. Most streaming services offer only low-quality streams with level three, but big G dmca'ed the repo and most forks. Mirrors are still up all over, though; here&#

You're right, though I think the unappreciated difficulty will be getting people to take it. I think it might be one of those things where people say they're willing to take it because they don't want to say otherwise, but m

This may also be because the Pfizer shot needs to be stored at nearly a hundred degrees below zero, while the Moderna one needs to be stored at only a few degrees below zero. This makes Moderna's option much better for distribution.

There is a whole subset of memes focused on the "political compass", which maps one's position from liberal to conservative and from authoritarian to libertarian. Right-wing authoritarian is where people like nazis are typic

That's the frustrating thing. I was convinced to try using a twitter account by a friend who talked about how great it is to follow interesting tech people. For some cases, I guess it could be. But the problem is, everyone seems to

Wow, what an awful manager. That's the business equivalent of flipping over the gameboard because one is losing.

I remember cheap chinese hdmi splitters used to inadvertently strip hdcp; is that still current?

It used to be really hard, though I believe there's now experimental cmake support. Vcpkg has it, so if you're using that, it's much easier.

There are also high-functioning drug addicts. Nevertheless I probably wouldn't want one for a doctor.

Can anyone who knows about machine learning hardware comment on how much faster dedicated hardware is as opposed to, say, a vulkan compute shader?

This may be a dopey question, but my understanding was that gun ownership basically didn't exist in China. The one instance of going shooting in China of which I've heard involved going to a special range in a major city in which

Which is a great theory, but if you're a small island being stared down by Red China, are you really going to take her on over fish?

Deezer has to do some sort of enforcement due to Laches doctrine. But it's pretty halfhearted compared to others.

I think a potential factor is the democrats' anti-gun rhetoric. It's explicitly designed to cater to white suburban moms, i.e. those who think guns are bad and scary and threaten their children. This in spite of the fact that tw

Yep, I too have switched to it and pair it with CCLS for my C/C++ development. It works great after learning it and does significantly reduce the overhead needed for new languages. It's a little tricky to set up for new users, b

My understanding is that most audio work is mac, so wouldn't that be an issue? I know AMD hackintoshes exist, though can be a bit tricky to set up in a stable fashion. It might take some time for support, too.
