Ultimately, I think we disagree on the essence of the issue and many consider the 'almost enough' option to be worse than 'enough' which is the crust of this issue. That said, I respect your opinion -- I've seen you

The thing is, information leaks. You can go and read the Windows source code, if you want to, you just would get busted if you actually use it to build your own Windows or something. Likewise source code is a shared a lot in my experience,

The tradeoff is that the app runs faster, looks better, works better -- in quite the indirect way. Now that the developers on the core part don't need to spend time on compatibility -- or, just dont want have to make the base choice of

Ultimately -- the thing is, if anyone is both capable and willing, they can, and sometimes do, fix it. Granted, this combination is rather rare. Most people aren't capable. Of those who are, they have better things to do and they proba

As a supporting point, right now people have decent GPUs but as people get a taste of the streaming approach on a laptop for example, and with the GPU prices increasing, they might not want to spend a whole lot of money on it. A small subse

And if you tell 2 experts to build something with W3Schools as the resource against better documentation, I'm sure the results will be the opposite. That's not the point though, I'm not going to say different strokes for diff

Bitwise operators only work on the first 32-bits, so it isn't as easy as `instead of doing the Math.floor operations, check for edge cases and just the same operation as ~~`

They don't spend 30 million per year, they spend 30 million over what they generate. I don't think they'd generate peanuts so as to not even cover hardware costs.

It's almost as if a site for tech has bias for tech commonly enjoyed by the readers of the said site. I'm shocked, truly.

I agree with all your points and also agree that honestly, these scenarios aren't far off from real world tasks. I get the main issue, which is you could adjust the workload by 10% and achieve a 50% performance loss when you do this at

It had multiple angles it could succeed on really. It had two major issues. The first one was if you went beyond using it yourself or a very limited collab, it would desync, which was a major deal breaker for something like this. Nothing go

There also other cloud companies to depend on that have been more sane. I doubt that in practice this will cause huge insurmountable challenges, but it's a headache and not a ton of fun.

I'm not a C++ programmer, could you explain why this is a bad idea?

It's making them money even if it doesn't up in a balance sheet. A push from MS that would threaten Steam's business model would only trigger a stronger push towards the Linux side of things and MS knowing that would tread ca

Just to clarify, Steam came out in 2003 and GFWL in 2007. Initial Steam was a horrible horrible experience, it also didn't have a store, and it was mainly just something you had for Counter Strike. Now, CS was MASSIVE, it still is, but

Which also show only a few commits, initial commit being dump of the project like this one. Anyway, I'm not a fan of this style of using Git, but personal projects are ultimately, personal, to each their own.

Sorry, but this isn't just a waitlist page, it first lets you give your input, then asks you to register, and then adds you to the waitlist, it just doesn't work.

Yeah, even if we assume the decision is coming from a complete sociopath, there's still, somewhere on the line, someone saying 'look, are you sure about this?' These companies are heartless. People in the chain, much less so.

So absurd. Their target is described as games almost-finished in 4 months at most, starting from 0, so they chose mobile tycoons, idle clickers, which are indeed finishable in 4 months if you scrub the bottom of the barrel. For that reasons

Thing is, people just don't install an OS to begin with - as Torvalds once remarked himself. You don't see Steam Deck users installing Windows, though they very well could, and I'm sure some would prefer to do so, but the exp
