Wow this changed my perspective on (most) Day 1 DLC. I'm surprised that this isn't shared more by devs who ship Day 1 DLC as it's a very rational explanation for its existence. Thank you for sharing this.

The Browse Happy upgrade your browser thing was admittedly disappointing to find in the source

I believe it, I used a CRT for the first time in years the other day and I couldn't believe how much I felt the eye fatigue. I don't want to know how much damage I did back in the day on those things.

I try to mainly use DDG nowadays, but man I love some of the little things Google has done.

I think the commentor meant in regards to both being the largest F2P shooters in their day. I disagree with that though because I see Fortnite capturing the more of the COD semi-casual crowd rather than the relatively more hardcore crowd TF2 captured.

Of course this is really generalized, but I can't imagine Drake playing TF2 back in its heyday.

Christy is likely the most credible Climate Change denier that I know of given his earlier career. However his public commentary on the inaccuracies of our climate models are often nitpicks over inaccuracies (not data with poor precision) without providing a reasonable alternative. Like the other commentor said, if Christy was presenting a good faith argument he would improve the models he was criticizing rather than publicize his opinions.

You may be interested in this crate which adds decimal types https://crates.io/crates/rust_decimal. Here is another that I have not used but appears to add a f128 type https://crates.io/crates/f128.

I'm clueless on the amount of bandwidth needed for larger applications, will the eventual release of PCIe 4 & 5 have a big impact on this? Or will it still be too slow?

I know it's wrong of me, but I can't help but be a bit relieved with the recent bad news for Nvidia. This time last year (and the year before that) it was looking like they were about to have a total monopoly on the GPU market. This will give AMD time to catch up a bit and Intel a good market to release their own GPUs.

With Intel's CPU dominance being withered by AMD and ARM solutions, and Nvidia's own dominance being thrown into question, the hardware industry is getting more interesting all the time.

I saw it as well, honestly I think journalists (the kind that are closer to glorified bloggers) have been doing this for quite awhile though. I can't remember what site it was for sure, maybe cracked, but I remember looking at the recent articles and it looked like a tl;dr of some of the top reddit posts of the week.

The only times I've had to use flash in the past two years have been for school. Most textbook publishers still have almost all of their online content only available in flash. The worst I've seen was a site with a login screen written in flash, I don't even want to know how that happened or how easy it would be to exploit.

I think I know what you are talking about, there does seem to be a general sense of elitism in the Rust community. Kind of a thought that Rust is the best language for almost any task, why would you use anything else? I think that thought process is present in many software communities however.

I have found the Rust community to be one of the most helpful and welcoming to beginners, and I don't believe this to be contradictory of what I have mentioned before. Rust developers want their community to grow so to spread the good word. Maybe it comes off too strong sometimes by pointing out where Rust has strengths against other languages, but if that is the among worst the community does, I would consider the community pretty friendly.

I have some telemetry enabled on Firefox as well, but that is mainly because I trust Mozilla to be more ethical than most other companies.

(For the record I'm not saying they're perfect and that everyone should trust them!)

Hey you must be purchasing a Bolt right now, so congrats!

I understand your reasoning for seeing the removal of the hybrid as a good thing, but I can't agree with that. I would much rather see hybrids stay around and see gas vehicles phased out. Gas vehicles and hybrids still have the huge advantage of distribution over electric. It doesn't matter where I am in the US, I know that a gas station will be a common site in pretty much all towns or major roadways. If I need to drive 150 miles in one direction for something and then come back the same day (not uncommon where I live), I don't want to do that in an electric vehicle!

The volt is so appealing because I know it could do that using so much less gas than the average gas vehicle. And for those days I don't leave town, it would be in practice an electric vehicle.

Considering this account and the event going on, I'd say it is a mix of both.

Before this article I had never heard of this website before. So sad to see a site like this go. Like the director of the site said, I'm glad archive.org will be able to provide a carbon copy, but this quote makes it seem bittersweet:

“If it just goes into archive.org, it’s going to be there in perpetuity, but it’s not going to be changing at all,” Hohman says. “It’s not going to be the same thing, that sort of community and project that it was for ... almost 10 years.”

Here's to hoping someone with more capital than me can help keep this site afloat. I'm willing to donate what I can (read not a lot) if there is presented a greater chance of extending the service's lifetime. Considering the shutdown is already scheduled this month, I feel like my small donation would be too late unless there was a more transparent fundraiser.
