Remember people. We didn’t die form the 2k bug. We didn’t die when the Maya calendar ran out. We didn’t die from that asteroid or the other. Spreading fear is a very old pastime. How is to say AI won’t hit a wall in 6 months and we’re left with barley passable code parrots forever?
I play a lot. Competitive shooters mostly. Most of them are unplayable for one or two reasons. Cross play (controllers with aim assist) and cheaters. As a PC player I would like to see no aim assist and actual consequences for cheating. I’ll gladly verify my real world identity, if it meant cheaters where banned once and forever. I’ve heard this is how it works in Korea (claim not verified) and could see it work here too as most of Europe has access to very UX friendly state sponsored digital ID.
If there were actual stakes to cheating, it would be less prevalent. Now you can create another account and keep playing. Often for free!
On a side note. How come replay analysis doesn’t catch more cheaters?
It seems a lot of people are doing amazing things with Patreon. Share some things for free (free as in beer) then have a paid tier for those who want more. Convince us you’re worthy, then we’ll give you money willingly.
Im pretty sure it is illegal. In my understanding, it must be equally easy to reject and accept. And the website MUST continue working under either choice. Which is not the case here.
I think the lawmakers should have made all forms of tracking illegal instead. That would make law writing and following easier. And closer to the spirit of what they are trying to accomplish and what everyone wants (except you Silicon Valley O.o)
Me and my friend wanted git for a game project. Setting up a VPN for this felt overkill. Turns out git provides a very nice transport abstraction though. So I built an iroh transport for git. Now we can push directly to a shared repo running on an old computer behind NAT. All for free.
This makes me sad. We have these type safe languages, then a DB comes along and brakes the type barrier. What are we to do? Property attributes and an ORM? Is there a Linq to SQL thing?
I think the opposite is in order. Ban phones with screens for those over 18 (driving limit). Phones are a drug that people cannot seem to let go off. Even when driving. Kids don’t have cars. Perhaps a trade? A phone or a car?
All the extra empty space everywhere. Some websites are impossibly empty. They look zoomed in. This is super annoying.
The loss of a clear design language for desktop apps is also frustrating. Windows XP apps tended to use standard Windows controls, in more or less the same way. Modern apps though are all spaced out HTML/WPF CSS styled wannabe websites.
We cannot solve complexity with empty space and style sheets.
Also this glass thing on iOS. Definitely under cooked. The keyboard doesn’t even fill out the bottom corners of the screen.
Volvo cars (not AB Volvo, the trucks, boats, and excavators maker) was sold to Ford and then to Chinese Geely. A lot of modern Volvo cars are therefore designed and engineered elsewhere to various degrees. Some are even wholly designed and produced in China. Others are not. I’ve heard this new one is more on the Swedish side. Even the motor is supposedly made here, at-least for the once produced in Gothenburg.
As a side note. Beware when exporting to the USA using UPS. Especially when having the receiver pay for imports and taxes. UPS does not enforce payment. They will hand out the package before receiving the taxes and tolls. Then, they force you, the exporter, to pay, since you’ve agreed to it by accepting their terms and conditions. I’ve learnt this the hard way.
According to Hardware Unboxed this problem goes away with the new generation displays. They are switching over to using a standard (LCD-like) striped pixel layout.
Must say my first generation Samsung display looks amazing both for gaming and programming though. If it wasn’t for the annoying smart-tv stuff, and the mini connectors, it’s a perfect monitor.
Huu. I had the opposite experience almost. I’m a complete Linux noob. Could not get Bazzite to work as expected. Had much better luck with Arch though the install was a bit archaic. Managed to get a desktop and Steam installed with all drivers on the second attempt (which wasn’t to bad since Arch is a fast install.) It has worked flawless since. Absolutely zero bloat.
The problem isn’t Norway. The problem is everywhere else allowing the amassing of incredible wealth with suspiciously low taxation. But we can’t even agree on a common minimum corporate tax. So yeah. Go Norway. Shame on everyone else.
The nice thing with KiCAD is that a part is simply a symbol (schematic element) with enough parameters attached. You can specify footprints, MPN, ratings, value, etc. then store it in your approved and verified symbol library for use in all your projects. Use your R_4.7k_0603 symbol an it comes preconfigured with footprint, MPN, rating etc. Making these symbols is a lot of work but very simple.
Unfortunately there is no standard name for these parameters beyond footprint, value and some others. MPN, brand, rating etc. are not default. This hinders bigger adoption I think, and makes every project unique. This should be improved.
I don’t think you’ve used KiCAD. Simply add an MPN attribute to your component and that is it. Use the built in BOM editor and exporter. Done. There are certainly ways to misuse any advanced software. But it definitely can and will produce a complete BOM without additional add-ons. Grated, the exporter is limited to CSV files. So I’m guessing your workflow requires something more interesting?
I find it fascinating that the same is true for frame rate. Some people think 60Hz is OK, while anyone who has tried a 120Hz screen will agree it is infinitely smoother. The same is true again for a 240Hz screen. I have yet to try a 480Hz screen but imagine the jump will be equally impressive.
