Was WASD even around back during doom2?
I'm guessing the subscription activates some sim card? I wonder if that's activated anyway and still tracks you if you don't sign up...

Looks like it doesn't work on firefox.

Cool plugin idea though!

Question, if you can remote start a subaru with starlink, does that mean I could start my car from the command line during winter??? I don't pay for starlink, never really looked into it, but it sounds cheaper than installing a remote start system lol.
My guess is licensing, they probably sold exclusive licenses, and part of that is delisting on other platforms.

I guarantee they didn't invent anything new to gaming. It's just like all those studies that claim tetris helps with ptsd, stress, lazy eye, postpartum depression, etc. It's just a game. There's nothing that makes this game, or tetris specifically special.

Haha yes! The Black Mesa doc is also very good :D

One of my favorite documentaries was made by Noclip, which tells the story of Half-Life and Valve. It is soo good, a must watch. Interestingly, though, it features no one from Valve, as they, in typical Valve fashion, ignored their requests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQLEW1c-69c

So I'm very excited to watch this new documentary featuring people who worked on the game, made by the same people, such a surprise haha.

The title in metric but the article in imperial had me very confused.

Same, this in my opinion was one of React's biggest "innovations".
It also doesn't ship world wide, even to Canada I made an order, with no way to see what shipping was and got an email saying they only ship to commercial or schools. That's a terrible e-commerce experience. Sites like NCIX were way better than this.

Someone tell them to stop buying lattes so they can pay off their debt.
Re:Twitter Notes on Wednesday June 22, 2022 @01:13PM (#31838864)
Same thing for some of the other links, which they do twitter.com/i/bookmarks for example, instead of twitter.com/bookmarks.

I know this because at one point it was broken in the UI and one of the side links went to a profile instead.

I thought the cpu was faster too?
I don't know of it's a joke tweet, or a pompous person trying to make other devs feel inferior.

The example or use case they describe doesn't even make sense to me. Nor does it even seem to line up with how CSS specificity or cascade works.

Re:Hooks Considered Harmful on Monday March 21, 2022 @12:37PM (#30756192)
News: People don't learn the tools so mistakes are made Author: Because I see mistakes, these tools are bad

I consider your teammates harmful. All this stuff is mentioned in the excellent React documentation.

How does windows hello work?
Are you serious, they literally just gave you an example lol.

I always hear that argument about "but when will I need it?" If you're using this system then you're always going to use it. It comes up all the time, it's natural so you don't think about it too much.

Does it mean it's better? Well yes, but it doesn't mean other measuring systems aren't good. You don't need it, but you'll want it once you learn it.

> But - out of curiosity - why is the soda can measured in ml and not in fl oz?

The article is written for an American magazine while the pictures are from Koenigsegg directly, which are European; beverages use ml and l to measure contents.

Take a look at the graph, also provided by Koenigsegg, it uses Nm and kW.

It's not a 5 digit prime.

IIrc they had to drop that game cause of The Tetris Company, and replaced it with a puyo puyo clone?
Re:Tetr.io on Wednesday December 29, 2021 @07:09PM (#29731821)
> It also has a single preview, no hold piece and no hard drop.

This is also true for TGM 1, TGM 2 adds sonic drop but still only has 1 preview.

But yeah it was just a suggestion since the TGM series is not as popular as NES or Guideline but offers a very different experience!
