I'm seeing some negative sentiment here, that I feel like, needs to be cleared up. For some context, I'm 29, I haven't always lived here, but have been here for almost 20 years. I work in the software industry. 1. Bulgaria ha

Cheating in multiplayer games has become such a huge problem, it has destroyed trust across every major FPS. I am a long time CS player, but I did briefly play one of the new CoD games, before they went crazy with Nicki Minaj skins and bong

I built PACT [1] to allow me to partition my CPU for different processes. I built SASRip [2] and MediaReaper [3] to download media from the internet to better share with my friends. I also have a myriad of small tools and scripts to automat

I will keep it short, say you have 4 perspectives, each with the same setup in 1080p60 @ 2500Kbps, combining in to a 4K video at the ingest server. Now, your ingest server needs to map each perspective on to a 4K canvas and upload that stre

I tried showing my students how to use Regex and explained how I use it quite often to edit large amounts of repetitive texts, and the look of confusion that over time, switched to fascination in a few kids was just so satisfying. I love sh

As someone who can't even stand cigarette smoke, let alone do drugs, I have a particular fascination with psychedelics. The idea that there are things my brain is capable of, but needs a kick-start to do them just tickles my curiosity

I know I've had queries that had no results or at least no relevant results in the past from your traditional search engines, but now that there is a search engine that claims to find results for such queries, I can't seem to come

What a great use for what would otherwise be e-waste. At first, having only seen the title, I thought that the loggers were out there with their phones and perhaps the responsible authorities had set up their own 3G/4G/5G towers t

It really is cool, but what I don't understand is why do we need all this techno-babble-esque wording around the idea of "3D printed wood", just call it that. I see way too many simple but cool concepts bogged down by an epic

It's crazy just how much I go out of my way to avoid things that "personalize" my experience. I don't use online music services, I discover music on various platforms and and download mp3s and keep a local library. I avo

To some degree, I can understand the fake Covid tests, testing is expensive in many places and people need to be places to make ends meet. I don't think it's moral but I don't think it's entirely immoral either, it'

I mean, Apple is still evil to the core, but for once it feels like the user can take advantage of their evil for their own benefit and take control of their privacy to some degree. I feel like Apple's long con is selling iPhone user d
