I do not say that the lockdowns make the pandemic worse, I say that the lockdowns make life of people worse. The mass media are making a great confusion, between "pandemic" and "life in general", and so do people, and that's what I am specifically criticizing.

I quote qart: "Lockdowns hurt poor people very badly; they need to earn to survive."

But why is it much worse ? Because of the pandemic, or because of the lockdowns ?

For me, Java can be very useful for amateur game programming, especially using IntelliJ. You have libraries like LWJGL, that are very powerful, and much others like ODE4J

I never understand, why people who already have money, want to have more. Personally, I keep my money at the bank, for days when I will have to spend it (Buying things, going on holidays, etc)

Vulkan is low level, so I think it will be mostly used with intermediate libraries, that ease its usage.

WOW, need ! Vice City was my favorite video game of all times. Will try to compile this soon

What was fantastic, during this period, was Moore's Law. Just waiting one year, you could see hardware selling prices divided by two, that was magic.

In the company where I work, we pay for Windows equipped machines (The Windows license is included in the sale price), but pay nothing for CentOS equipped machines. I can understand, why Red Hat wanted to stop that.

I’m really not surprised by this news : Unfortunately, global warming is consubstantial with human activity. In fact, the only thing that is ecological, is poverty. I'm not trolling, I'm serious : By the laws of physics, the richer you are, the more you consume, the more you pollute by producing CO2. All the people who tell you that you can keep the same GDP while producing less CO2 are wrong.

I like very much these simple tutorials, from which you can start something bigger

I always like very much those analysis, they are so valuable, to understand how the rendering of these video games works, and maybe do the same

A fan is overkill for a Raspberry Pi. A passive cooling is sufficient, and most of all, absolutely quiet. A very good case is the "GeeekPi Argon Neo Aluminium", which I recommend

Theoretically, it should be possible to have graphics drivers from multiple vendors installed on the same machine, because you can have graphics cards from different vendors installed on your system. In this case, it is just a bug in AMD driver

When you have a city, where every surface is built, can you still say that there is a housing crisis? Maybe now, it is time to talk about real problems ?

Dark mode is not a good solution, from my point of view. The initial problem, is merely that the white default background of Microsoft Windows, is simply not appropriate : What is appropriate, is Sepia background, like in Amazon Kindle reader for PC. I really don't understand why Microsoft did nothing for that, as the solution is so simple to implement. In Windows 98, you could choose another color for default Windows background.

I’ve always had desktop PCs at home, and I’ll always have. For me, a laptop PC has always been a complement to a desktop PC, not a replacement. My desktop PCs are sitting on the floor, so they don’t take up much space.

It is a more general problem on Amazon, and in other internet resellers. Products are proposed at insane price, and stay there during month or years, waiting for a dumb buyer. This is annoying, because when you browse Amazon looking for something interesting, you are polluted with all theses dumb offers.

Im am eager to have a usable implementation of OpenGL over Vulkan, like Zink. At last, no more different implementations of OpenGL from one vendor to another.

Well well, I think most people have financial problems nowadays, it's not a secret that the human world is on the descending slope.

Now, we can really talk about AI.

The first of the good habits is a good diet. The first medicine is food.

Maybe the actual foundations of physics are sufficient for explaining our everyday life on earth.

Whatever the abstraction of the language you use, you still have to code. It's just a different type of coding.

The problem is that many engineers are not paid to have ideas. They are driven by their hierarchy, doing what they are asked to be done. They just obey orders.

Loved this game. First video game for me.

This is not specially the future. This is the low cost. When you pay a minimal price for a service, you have a minimal service.

You have to accept surveillance, as it increases security of everyone.

I do not agree with that, having a job is always a good thing for mental health. It is always better than staying at home doing nothing.

I totally agree on this post. Being too zealous about code duplication is counter-productive. Don't be more royalist than the king.
