Fullscreen Xorg windows that use the gpu bypass everything, so it should be the same. Wayland could even be "worse". Both also support direct input.

I use wayland only because moving windows around is smoother. It's still a bigger pain overall. "Not quite there yet" is how I would describe it.

This article is horrible. Anyway..

Teflon has a melting point of 327°C, that can happen on a stove.

IMO It's fine, just don't burn your pan. Not sure about scratching it, but don't do that either.

Cheaper hobby then electronics.

I once wrote a bc script that calculated parameters for the Blackman window for a FIR filter. (Had formulas already so not that impressive) Upped the precision until it needed like 30 sec to calculate, completely unnecessarely :).

Scheme and many others. And lots of libraries for C and others.

It's called bignum, or Arbitrary-precision arithmetic.

It's capacitive :)

I typed this with a nail

Didn' know birds can vomit. Horses can't.

I remember it from a youtube video from one of those engineering channels (might have been "real engineering") probably a year ago. I only remember it because I thought "wow they have to have so many safeties" and that it is good to draw on parts and such instead of just relying on technical drawings.

I don't remember, but it might not have crashed (multiple sensors), and it might not have had a latch/notch. But it was a long time ago.

Edit: I still remember the big yellow arrow.

Didn't nasa make the same mistake ? Because I remember that they put arrows on the slots because someone put a sensor upside down.

It's not similar to any meme I know.

Fun fact: you can download the whole wikipedia and use it offline.

I remember someone tested this, and the bacteria was found in a wider area.

Either way bacteria is everywhere and we got immune systems.

People here have no idea how any of this works, or why the lighting was off.

CRT monitors did not display light intensity linearly. Remember gamma ? That was it, gamma correction. Gpu chips at the time practically had to have that in. And it didn't even matter that much if it was a bit off because our eyes are not linear. Like remember quake ? Nobody cared quake was not color accurate.

The gpu manufacturers knew it all, be it nvidia, ati, 3dfx. Color spaces were well known, and nobody had a color accurate monitor at home anyway. Even today you can buy a monitor that's way off.

Maybe that guy did get them to care more about it, but I can not read such a "hateful" article to make a conclusion (I did skim it).

Anyway none of it matters now when color is in 32bit floats and all the APIs support multiple color spaces.

Turning heat into mechanical or chemical or electric energy directly is really hard, you know.

It's funny that you can get more energy from gas by using it to heat water and using a steam turbine to drive whatever. It's just not always practical.

I don't have the arm strength to trow anything at the speed needed to make your analogy work.

Take a coin and trow it as hard as you can. The curving is not that much.

Hokei, so. Usb "packets" are 12 bytes or something, and it's not good for performance to stop the flow. The solution is, as always, to have a buffer. Problem is that some kernel geniuses decided that GIGABYTES is a good buffer size. This was all when spinning hdds were the standard and new fast usbs were comming, but still.

Oh, and for some reason the transfer bar sometimes works fine for me.

Aluminium is the one and standard.

I had to move a horse, to fill its water bucket while it was eating. I tap and talk, nothing. I push, can't. I had to punch it literally as hard as I could so it would acknowledge me. They have really thick skin.

Disclaimer: Don't punch a horse if you don't know it and what you are doing. They get scared easily and you won't be the first to get your jaw wired back together.
