Thanks for bringing more details into light ! As I've said I don't know much about the space and sadly suspected that it wouldn't be great, but not to this degree. It's a bit sad and it's not the "easy solution

Well, there's an Arduino FPGA board : the MKR Vidor 4000[0] However I'm not sure how much people use it and if it really has the simplicity that Arduino brought to tinkering with microcontrollers. I read and hear a lot that the FP

You're right, I misspoke ! For Zen 3 they announced the 5800X and released the 5700X later (with the same TDP as the GP's 3700X), whereas for Zen 4 they announced the 7700X and the 7800X will probably be released later. Indeed eve

They do[0]. It was released much later in the lifecycle of Zen 3 than the 4 "headline SKUs" that were launched here as well. I think we can expect the same for Zen 4. [0] https://www.amd.com/en/products/c

The parent is correct, in theory .eu requires residency or citizenship in order to register a domain[1]. After Brexit holders of .eu domains that did not meet the criteria lost their domains[2]. And the .eu is not the most restrictive ! I a

I have dabbled with quite a few assembly languages (8051, MIPS, A64 and a bit of x86), the first and second of which I learned in school. To be honest if your teacher is good and the class is well prepared, it should be pretty nice ! As fma

You can already stream games from a Linux machine with Steam and then get to the desktop. It's baked in, but I'm not sure you can directly stream the desktop without launching a game before, but it works pretty well. I managed to

Minecraft is one of the biggest games of my teenage years, starting in Alpha, and I always was a bit paranoid, making backups and copies of things. As the sibling comment points out, you can go back in versions from the game launcher itself

To be fair, Valve already has a way to control mostly what is used by Steam and the game. They have their own runtime that uses (or can, can't remember if it's always the case) containers to create a controlled environment. I have

That's fair, and I agree it would be much better if it was officially supported. I'm on a rolling release distro but I had to freeze all my GNOME packages to stay on 38 because of the issue you mention. But I chose GNOME knowing

The thing is, you can change a lot of those things to match what you want. You can toggle the application menu, which works more like the windows menu. You can use something like dash-to-panel [0] to make the top bar into something useful.

The French word has kept the root too : "condensateur" !

That's really interesting to me, because in Spanish we have the exact same word, "azar", but from how I understand it it's just randomness (apparently according to the dictionary some of the other meanings have a negativ

Really great post indeed ! As a small data point, I'm renting a 40-50 m² flat in the UK and only have a washer/dryer. No dishwasher and no additional plumbing for one.

Maybe someone has more "real" experience than me on this, but the article says : > Since IDE support for Java is much more advanced than for C++, most environments (Eclipse, IntelliJ, IDEA) will be able to refactor Java. This m

Some of the language specific IDEs do not have a free (community) version like CLion for C/C++ or Rider for C#/.NET/Unity (and Unreal Engine in the near future) and bring a lot to the table for those languages. I am a heavy u

I get yearly prompts as well, on each of my 4 OS, only one of them being Windows. I might skew the results a tad !

That's a fair question and I wondered too. The way I understand it, it comes from multiple places : > You agree not to [...] copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly dis

While I do agree with you on the spoken side, there was a comparative study of spoken syllables per language floating around at some point [0], is this really true for written Japanese ? As each kanji is potentially multiple syllables long

I would tend to agree. Linux has been my main OS for the past few years in part because I agree with the principles behind it, but also simply because I _feel_ better using it than using Windows. I'm not at ease with the user experienc

I figured there would be something like that. But then, why are the submarine cables not hidden as much ? Because they are physically harder to access ? Because they travel in shared maritime territory ? Anyway, thanks for the read, the art

I always love this map, you can find a lot of intersting info. Sometimes it makes me wonder about the history of such or such link. Is there any map of this quality of the entire world's underground backbones ? I would love to have the

That's very true and why I avoided subscribing to magazines and other news sites. I ended up creating a category for them in my feed aggregator (self hosted FreshRSS, I'm quite happy with it) and masking them in my main feed. This

I haven't given it much thought, but I like Jetbrain's compromise[0]. You pay a subscription to get all the updates, but you get to keep a perpetual license to any specific version (major+minor, you still receive bugfixes) if it h

I have been using self-hosted RSS aggregators for some time now (currently [FreshRSS]( https://freshrss.org/ )) and I have been delighted ! I feel it complements HN or Reddit really well in giving me the ability to follow sp
