ganelonhb··on Scott Adams has died
k, keep me posted
ganelonhb··on Scott Adams has died
nobody really cares about whether or not you’re going to mourn for someone, but I think it shows the content of your character that you felt the need to share that you won’t be mourning him because XYZ. Nobody is perfect, and I wager to guess even the almighty You has a few things in your past you wouldn’t want people to remember about you if you died slowly and painfully very publicly.

Scott Adams said some really stupid, poorly thought out things about minorities and women, and he faced real world consequences for his actions. But he also died slowly and painfully of cancer, and he died crying out for help very publicly. That’s objectively very sad, and if you should ever share the same fate I truly and genuinely hope your loved ones are there and with you, and choose to forgive you of any of your perceived sins.

ganelonhb··on Ask HN: Any Microsoft employees/devs here? What's happening to Microsoft?
Sounds like you’d be better off applying to real companies. You sound very smart, or at least capable of people skills and learning. Don’t waste yourself at Microsoft
ganelonhb··on Linux Kernel Rust Code Sees Its First CVE Vulnerability
The definition of cause is quite clear. “Rust” is obviously not the cause, but it did fail to be the solution, here. You can’t avoid that.

ganelonhb··on Terminal Latency on Windows (2024)
What’s the point of doing anything ever? Because we can, that’s it. Some people happen to use Windows for things other than gaming (remarkably).
ganelonhb··on FFmpeg to Google: Fund us or stop sending bugs
Not too fond of maintainers getting too uppity about this stuff. I get that it can be frustrating to receive bug report after bug report from people who are unwilling or unable to contribute to the code base, or at the very least to donate to the team.

But the way I see it, a bug report is a bug report, no matter how small or big the bug or the team, it should be addressed.

I don’t know, I’m not exactly a pillar of the FOSS community with weight behind my words.

ganelonhb··on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford tells Borderlands 4 critics: "code your own engine"
The “realism” of graphics has nothing to do with performance. It has to do with shaders which, contrary to your point can be expected in a greater degree in a game that uses cartoonish graphics BUT I don’t even think that the shaders are the culprit. It really just is that Unreal Engine 5 requires insanely high specs because of all of the myriad different cutting edge technologies it employs, all of which BL4 seems to take advantage of including Lumen, Nanite, and level streaming (idk the name for it)
