This all sounds to me like complaining about fast-food restaurants because you’re overweight. Do they serve trash? Yes. But there’s a simple solution: don’t eat it. And don’t feed it to your kids. I have a facebook app and the only time I u

Since bringing modern OpenGL and Vulkan onto Apple Silicon is impossible without an emulation layer anyway, could, theoretically, a native Metal API for Linux be created? Or is Metal too ingrained in macOS SDKs? MoltenVK is attempting to so

With the utmost respect I have for John Carmack, this interview reads like a publicity piece for investors. Unless he already wrote the AGI and sent it to do interview for him I am not impressed.

As mentioned by other commenters: the point is playing games on Apple Arcade. For $149 you get a pretty powerful game console, more powerful than the latest iPad for a fraction of the price. You need to get a controller though or use a PS

While on the other end of the spectrum is the new Apple TV 4k with A15 bionic and 128 GB storage for $149. How wrong am I thinking this is a steal? Especially if I want to play Arcade games on this. I wonder if this baby can be jailbroken a

If by a "search engine" you mean a tool to index and retrieve documents (essentially what the terms mean in the traditional Information Retrieval, e.g Lucene, SOLR, Elastic) then this is a pretty good on the subject that taught me

Constrained social networks don't work, look at Google+. You don't need a social network to stay in touch with your friends and family as messaging apps and e-mail fulfil that purpose completely. Algorithms are not the only reason

It is some hilariously contrived premise that Elon Musk is going to "democratize" Twitter by taking it private. It's almost as contrived as Putin sending "peacekeeping and de-nazifying" forces to Ukraine. (If you&#x

The discussion about effectiveness of sanctions is made pointless by the fact that they are, next to sending arms, the only way the West can respond to Russian aggression. A military response is out of the question for obvious reasons. And

I've been holding off on upgrading my MBP13 for a few years now because Apple was painfully slow to refresh it. I was ready to order the model that came out in May (with 32GB RAM) but then the rumour about ARM hit the internets so I ke

Ok, thanks. Then the premise of this article is even weaker. Companies do generate huge profits albeit most of the hidden through accounting engineering. It's more likely that the inflated stock prices represent the actual "value&

Here's what I don't get: this article claims that big (since that's what matters for stock market index levels) business sits on a mountain of debt. At the same time many economists (e.g Yanis Varoufakis) claim that big busin

For the "fasters" above who feel like sharing info, a couple of questions: 1. When you fast what food (if any) and drinks do you consume? Coffee, tea? etc 2. How long can you go on the above while fasting? 3. How old are you? 4. D

I used to live in Poland where cryotherapy is pretty popular in sanatoria (in the European sense of the word) and did a few sessions: three minutes a day over two weeks. It certainly helped with my running injuries, especially shin splints
