Readit NewsMaybe many of us are just subconsciously blocking those types of things out now because it’s so pervasive.
Yeah - they do ask for more time here and there. But it’s pretty well controlled and they adjust to it
I’m glad they exist but they could be so much better.
I've never been more fearful of components breaking than current day. With GPU and now memory prices being crazy, I hope I never have to upgrade.
I don't know how but the box is still great for every day web development with heavy Docker usage, video recording / editing with a 4k monitor and 2nd 1440p monitor hooked up. Minor gaming is ok too, for example I picked up Silksong last week, it runs very well at 2560x1440.
For general computer usage, SSDs really were a once in a generation "holy shit, this upgrade makes a real difference" thing.
So went crazy and bought a 9800X3D, purchased a ridiculous amount of DDR5 RAM (96GB, which matches my old machine’s DDR4 RAM quantity). At the time, it was about $400 USD or so.
I’ve been living in blissful ignorance since then. Seeing this post, I decided to check Amazon. The same amount of RAM is currently $1200!!!
For funsies, try searching App Store apps and find a way to filter out results for apps with IAP. Nope!
(Source: me, who spent time at a mobile gaming company as we figured out how to continuously optimize our funnels so that some rich dudes in Qatar could continue to spend $40K a month on useless cosmetics.)
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”
I don't wear an Apple watch but I do wear a smartwatch, and I can't imagine a reason to want this website on it.
I find myself doing this randomly when I don’t have access to my phone (believe it or not, it happens for legit reasons) through something called ųBrowser.
It’s probably masochistic but it works in a pinch. I’ve been thinking of writing my own watch app to do this, as well as an app that could use the Feedbin API.
It’s impressive their performance gets so close given the size!
The science is by no means conclusive. A joint Harvard / MIT study found developers completed tasks up to 50% faster [0]!
I used it as a kind of “dream well” whenever I wanted to draw some muse from the same deep spring. It felt like a spiritual successor to what I used to do as a kid: flipping to a random page in an old 1950s Funk & Wagnalls dictionary and using whatever I found there as a writing seed.
It was pretty fun!
