JohnBerea··on Alan Wake 2 is an unexpected visual marvel even on older GPUs
I've heard that Remedy has used[1] the D programming language in the past. Is it used on Alan Wake 2?

JohnBerea··on React use C
Our scientists were so busy trying to figure out if they could, they never asked whether they should.

What is the music in that video? My Find Sound app is failing.
JohnBerea··on Rome v12.1: a linter formatter for TypeScript, JSX and JSON
How was Rome going to make money so that an investor could get a return on their investment?
JohnBerea··on Things You Can Do with KDE Connect on Linux
I tried it out on Windows 10 but the mouse input is so laggy it's unusable. Looks like this bug has [already been reported](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440744).
JohnBerea··on Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now
Why do I have to learn Yet Another Language to use this? Why can't it just use JavaScript or python for scripting?
JohnBerea··on List of Citogenesis Incidents
I'm from the internet and I can assure you it has no basis in truth.
JohnBerea··on AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
I love AutoHotKey but why do I have to learn a new language to use it? Why can't it use an established language like js or python?
JohnBerea··on US Department of Energy: Fusion Ignition Achieved
Let's say this all works out and over the next few decades fusion replaces all other electricity generation, and we're past the point where all the initial infrastructure costs have been paid for.

How much will my electric bill be reduced?

JohnBerea··on Ask HN: Can you recommend me a fast, light text editor for Windows?
Notepad3. Looks and behaves like Windows notepad but with syntax highlighting, regex search, optional dark theme, lightweight native-built code that launches instantly, and all the other modern features you expect.

JohnBerea··on Introduction to Dlang [video]
And Walter ^ is the author of "D" itself : )
JohnBerea··on Windows 9x Video Minidriver HD+
So the last one isn't used, just padding for alignment. Got it.
JohnBerea··on Windows 9x Video Minidriver HD+
In Windows what advantage does 32-bit color give over 24-bit color? Does 32-bit have 11-11-10 bits per pixel instead of one byte each? From my limited experience with win32 programming I don't remember any API's that let programs specify colors with that much depth.
JohnBerea··on Roboto but Make It Flex
Why is google serving it as a ttf? Is woff2 no longer the best format?
JohnBerea··on Show HN: M3O – Universal Public API Interface
I don't understand the pricing. For example, the free tier says "1M requests per credit," but what's a credit and how much does a credit cost?
JohnBerea··on Dall-E 2 illustrations of Twitter bios
The hand symbolize the Red Sea Parting of Moses.
JohnBerea··on Liquidsoap – A scripting language for multimedia streaming
Why is this a new programming language, instead of just a library for existing languages?
JohnBerea··on How to win a hackathon without coming in first place
10. Win by hacking the results tabulator.
JohnBerea··on Open Source Continuous File Synchronization
My projects folder has a dozen or so git repos in it, and I've been syncing it for over a year without issues. Between two other computers.

It doesn't matter which one I push/pull/commit/whatever from, the others mirror the operation.

JohnBerea··on Help users in Iran reconnect to Signal
Or just use Element/Matrix which already lets you do that.
JohnBerea··on Telegram and Signal the New Option
Why is Element, running on the Matrix network, always left out of these articles? https://element.io
JohnBerea··on Reporting a user to WhatsApp forwards a copy of recent messages from that chat
Shouldn't we prefer Matrix over Signal, since it's federated and doesn't require a phone number / phone to sign up.
JohnBerea··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
I still have issues with the high endurance cards. Bought two identical high endurance 128GB's for Pi4's. After 1 day of use each (with minimal writes beyond installing RPi OS), GParted could resize one partition, but the other failed due errors that couldn't be repaired with fsck.
JohnBerea··on The Rome Toolchain: A linter, compiler, bundler, and more
Are there any plans to port it to run on Deno?
JohnBerea··on Facebook Takes Down Network Tied to Conservative Group, Citing Fake Accounts
I'm a conservative and follow many conservative and libertarian FB pages. It's common to see memes on them making fun of Kirk.
JohnBerea··on Judge Orders Twitter to Unmask FBI Impersonator Who Set Off Seth Rich Conspiracy
Media Bias Fact Check rates the Washington Post as "Factual Reporting: HIGH" even though they accepted $4.6 million from the Chinese Communist Party to run the China Watch section of their website with articles provided word for word by the CCP.[2]

The articles look exactly like real news articles except for the text "A paid supplement to the Wasington Post" in the upper right corner.[2] Had I not known better I would've assumed this meant I'd get a paywall if I viewed too many articles.

This seems every bit as egregarious as anything you'd find on ZeroHedge. I have a very low level of trust for almost all media, but I check Zero Hedge to at least see interesting items ignored by the mainstream.

JohnBerea··on Judge Orders Twitter to Unmask FBI Impersonator Who Set Off Seth Rich Conspiracy
The Zero Hedge article has links. E.g. you can see KimDotCom's tweets.
JohnBerea··on Judge Orders Twitter to Unmask FBI Impersonator Who Set Off Seth Rich Conspiracy
I haven't followed much with Seth Rich since a couple years ago. I remember saving these points from a Zero Hedge article:

1. Kim DotCom said he knew Seth Rich and knew he was the leaker. He tried to Mueller to take his testimony about Seth Rich but he wouldn't reply to his emails.

2. "two men working with the Rich family - private investigator and former D.C. Police detective Rod Wheeler and family acquaintance Ed Butowsky, have previously stated that Rich had contacts with WikiLeaks before his death."

3. Friend of the family Ed Butowsky says there's an FBI report "establishing that Seth Rich sent emails to WikiLeaks."

4. Private investigator and former D.C. Police detective Rod "Wheeler also claimed in recently leaked audio that Seth Rich’s brother, Aaron – a Northrup Grumman employee, blocked him from looking at Seth’s computer and stonewalled his investigation."

6. "Metro police detectives claim that Mr. Rich was a robbery victim, which is strange since after being shot twice in the back, he was still wearing a $2,000 gold necklace and watch. He still had his wallet, key and phone."

Has any of this changed or been questioned since then?

JohnBerea··on Facebook fires employee for publicly scolding a colleague
I was the one who asked the question and I've lived in the US all my life. I had never heard the phrase or knew that Trump said it until this conversation just now.
