On desktop, I'm really wondering why people use it. I mean it's not pre-installed for windows, what makes people choose Chrome in 2023?

I'll give a different perspective on what you said: dx12 basically moved half of the complexity that would normally be managed by a driver, to the game / engine dev, which already have too much stuff to do: making the game. The idea is that "the game dev knows best how to optimize for its specific usage" but in reality the game dev have no time to deal with hardware complexity and this is the result.

This is so sad, I don't understand how any moderator would still feel ok to stay on reddit... Thank you for sharing

If communities belonged to "lemmy" you would have Reddit. If anything would be forcefully federated it would be a mess. IMHO it's the right balance. I get your concerns about being confusing but given the state of development of the platform most of it will be solved by a better UI and better instance data synchronization policies, etc...

Tv and movies don't look choppy because the shutter speed of the camera smooth out the movement with motion blur. Motion blur in games is instead just simulated and not as effective.

Also as someone else have said a game is interactive and input latency can be as high as 3 frames, which at 30fps would be 1/10s and can be perceived....

In one of my jobs, they were automatically locking any push 2 hours before the shift ended.

Clonezilla. I usually prepare images in virtual machines and restore them on physical drives.

The source you linked tells that more developed countries have less kids, which is almost unrelated to how "affordable" having a child is, which infact have the opposite trend.

I think the article is partially true but overly dramatic... "immaginary problems" are usually just overkill solutions to actual issues, and are a nice way to balance out the stress of working on bugs 24/7, which is not feasible anyway

Agree... The fact that many people here think that if you're not happy woking, eating, sleeping then you're probably ill, it kinda scares me tbh

Exactly, making everyone to switch over to something else is impossible...l'll uninstall it as soon as they roll this out

I get it about the corporation issues but do you even dislike firefox? Do you think it would be positive to have one less alternative to chrome? What browser do you use?

Unfortunately for LinkedIn I found out a lot are fake and they dont actually hire you remote, and they tell you straight up at the first interview... They're basically doing it as SEO and wasting everybody's time

I didn't get the part on Firefox too much: isn't pocket just a way to serve (non user tailored) ads? As long as they don't sell your data and its not invasive it should be fine...they have to sustain themselves is some way

yeah I'm currently surrounded by that enterprise bs you talk about...the job itself would be perfect otherwise, its just infuriating

Government care that you are in the condition to pay as much taxes as possible. Which honestly is not bad, considering how selfish humans are...

I only tried this with windows which works fine: on restore Clonezilla has an option to rescale partitions on the fly to fit the destination drive. For drivers, windows detect changes and update them the first time is started on the physical machine.

You realized this much earlier than most people, which is good! Honestly I've never found a good answer to this...

You can try to minimize the time you spend working by getting a remote job or a part time one, or ideally try to pile up some money to take a year (or any time) off if you're confident that you can get another job after that. Minimize the money you spend on material stuff so that you can work less, or go somewhere on vacation..

But if you find a good solution please let me know :)

That's weird, it probably depends on the field you're in, but I've never been asked for references and I had many interviews...

No there aren't just disable it from tarallo_settings!

Sorry i didn't meant to be misleading, just to discuss! However after checking on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate I omitted that lower pressure air at high altitude absorb/emit less heat, but what I wrote is not wrong, just incomplete...

Wait, do you mean that your ff account share data with pocket, whether you ever signed into it or not?

From the image seems like the pins broke off from the usb and are left on the board? If you have some soldering skill you can try to replace usb

First, for something to be and evolutionary advantage, the people that struggle to fall asleep would have to die more easily or fail to reproduce, while in this case I can only see the opposite: dropping dead asleep regardless of the environment means to be an easy prey.

Secondly, the reason you probably see it as a downside is because of the hectic way most people go through life today, were you can hardly find a time to sleep; but it's not that during our evolution we could hunt 16 hours/day, nobody was in an hurry :)

Thanks much better, however "Correlation does not imply causation" which is obvious in this case (and as the source itself say, the correlation is probably about education instead etc). The problem is much more complex and trying to explain it with a simple correlation is a bit naive, however you can't deny how much of an economic struggle raising a kid is for the average income family....

I've always thought estimates were a problem in programming, but now that we have switched to agile with sprints its almost comical, they hurt development in so many ways... People start to give all the value to time and completed tasks, and 0 value to what they're actually doing.

Idk, the fact that each lemmy instance cache content from others make it less of a disruption if its down for an hour or so, unless its your account instance... Do you mean on apps or on like join-lemmy.org?

Yeah "dissipate away" is probably a bit misleading but I meant that the heat source is mainly the surface since it's difficult to heat the thin outer layers directly, and from there heat moves up thorough ir radiation or adiabatic expansion. But it's not like mountains are cooled down by adiabatic expansion, since the air wouldn't move up without a temperature gradient, which means that it cannot get colder that the mountains already are. So I would think they are simply farther away form surface heat radiation and have thinner air that don't assorb heat...

I mean, it's a scientific job, you have to prove your arguments... with that said they should help you to do so, if you feel them as arrogant, they are bad at their job....and since programming is a complex job, there are a lot of not so good people

Without checking, I would say that it's because the heat dissipate away from the planet and the hot air will eventually cool down while rising? My understanding is that it's hot near sea level because it's where the heat from the sun gets reflected and radiated from the earth surface, correct me if I'm wrong...
