Rtings is also great for monitors. There's so much difference in quality and performance between visually similar display models and these are usually impossible to determine from official specs. I couldn't imagine having to buy a display without these detailed tests.

Still hopeful that someone will make a new exciting sandbox MMO that fills the gap left by UO.

SEEKING WORK | Brazil (UTC -3; overlaps with US and Europe) | REMOTE | Part-time or Full-time

I'm a problem solver. I learn quickly and use whatever tech is necessary.

Finished my PhD in CS by the end of 2021.

Worked on software which is currently used by the Federal Police of Brazil to manage 95% of their police inquiries for a combined total of 3.5 years.

Passionate about computers since I was a kid. Studying and working in CS full time since 2009.

I enjoy producing high quality and high value software that follows best practices (e.g. CI/CD, Clean code, Testing, SCM, Reviews, Joel Test, ... )

So that you can hire me confidently for a remote position, I am open to chats, technical interviews, algorithm challenges, take-home coding exercises, trial periods, etc. Whatever it takes to ensure this is a good fit for both of us.

Rates: 30 to 49 USD / hour (enjoy low rates while I build international remote experience :) )

Kinesis is great. The Freestyle with VIP3 fixed my RSI pain and it's so comfortable and durable after so many years.

These kind of frauds are really bad for legitimate remote workers. Hope employers don't get burned and start cutting back on remote opportunities.

I pick 2160p on YouTube even on a 1080p screen to reduce the awful blur in videos with any kind of motion. The downscale looks similar to a higher bitrate in that case.

SEEKING WORK | Brazil (UTC -3; works with US and Europe time zones) | REMOTE | Part-time or Full-time

   "I don't know what you want. If you are looking for buzzwords, I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for your competitors. If you hire me now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will send you my CV." -- a humble freelancer

I'm a problem solver.

I learn quickly and use whatever technology is necessary (familiar with other techs beside the ones above).

Finished my PhD in CS recently.

Medscape is what WebMD should be. It targets health professionals but it's a great resource for independent learners.

There are great summaries for every disease and treatment written by doctors and researchers. Summary includes epidemiology, symptoms, causes, prognosis, possible treatments, novel treatments, differential diagnoses, etc.

Given that there are bad professionals in every area, it's a great resource to evaluate if your doctor's diagnosis and suggestions make sense.

Unlike your local doctors, good online resources don't have financial incentive to recommend unnecessary drugs or surgeries where the risks outweigh the benefits.

"Due to imperfect manufacturing technologies of the time and poor separation between the analog and digital parts of the chip, the 6581's output (before the amplifier stage) was always slightly biased from the zero level. Each time the volume register was altered, an audible click was produced. By quickly adjusting the amplifier's gain through the main 4-bit volume register, this bias could be modulated as PCM, resulting in a "virtual" fourth channel allowing 4-bit digital sample playback. The glitch was known and used from an early point on, first by Electronic Speech Systems to produce sampled speech in games such as Impossible Mission (1983, Epyx) and Ghostbusters (1984, Activision). The first instance of samples being used in actual musical compositions was by Martin Galway in Arkanoid (1987, Imagine), although he had copied the idea from an earlier drum synthesizer package called Digidrums. The length of sampled sound playback was limited first by memory and later technique. Kung Fu Fighting (1986), a popular early sample, has a playback length measured in seconds. c64mp3 (2010) and Cubase64 (2010) demonstrate playback lengths measured in minutes. Also, it was hugely CPU intensive - one had to output the samples very fast (in comparison to the speed of the 6510 CPU)."
