When was the latest update? I've definitely noticed a trend of increased failures/errors over the past couple weeks.
Yep.. I definitely won't be playing if it's lower than 50-60. Feels jarring when you're coming from everyday use of all devices with >90hz displays
Re:Ask HN: Are Glassdoor Salaries Accurate? on Tuesday October 10, 2023 @01:26PM (#37834901)
I've been wondering this too. Lots of salaries for the company I work at show additional pay, and I don't know how to compare since I don't believe I get any additional pay..
Re:Dear Spotify, stop treating your users like testers on Friday October 06, 2023 @12:20PM (#37792766)

Wonder if the scummy feelings will fade in the future when the tech is better. I used to half-joke that I would end up happily married to a robot in the future, but I can't say I have any interest in the current wave of AI girlfriends.

Re:Ask HN: What have you learned from psychedelics? on Thursday January 13, 2022 @06:02PM (#29928255)
My experiences with psychedelics in my teens weren't very insightful. Most of the time I felt like I was looking through a pair of those old cyan/red 3D glasses - but with more colors - and had brain damage for half a day.
