trzeci··on Cyberpunk 2077: How 2020’s biggest video game launch turned into a shambles
> How can the game be acceptable or fun when cars run on tracks and NPC’s don’t have a problem being attacked?

Because I don't interact with NPC's and traffic. I treat these aspects more like a decoration to the game, not an interactive content. There is plenty of interactive content and side missions, so I have enough of fun spending my time there instead of killing NPCs and pretending this is a GTA, so that I can fight police.

trzeci··on PayPal introduces new fee for dormant accounts
Making sure that discussion will not heat without checking the content:

> PayPal is to introduce a £9 “inactivity” fee for anyone whose account has been dormant for at least a year, but still has some money left in it.

So it applies to money that's left on account. Once the balance is 0, there is not extra cost.

It's not that I'm happy in particular, as I have account there also, and I had to transfer remaining money. I believe there is more cases like mine, that has PayPay to pay on some portals that accepts only that payment method, and we're not willing to share credit card information.

trzeci··on Ask HN: Are you depressed?
Just watched one, which spot on my case. Thank you.
trzeci··on Ask HN: Are you depressed?
I feel you, myself I have two toddlers (2, 4) that was a life change for me. Responsibility, scream, lack of sleep, inability to what I used to do to get some energy boost. Which escalated during working from home.

No advice from my side, as I haven't found any good way. Take care,

trzeci··on Ask HN: Are you depressed?
Please don't race who is more depressed here.

Also don't undervalue simple symptoms, as those can develop over time into clinical depression.

Take care,

trzeci··on One Week of NixOS
Still didn't get to chose between nix and silverlight
trzeci··on Goodbye, Native Apps
No company that tries to have the biggest possible user base will drop old devices that are running Android 4.2 or iPhone 4. Author lives in a dream 10 years from now.
trzeci··on Youtube-dlc – Download videos from YouTube or other video platforms
Thanks!
trzeci··on Apple: Person-to-person experiences do not have to use in-app purchase
> 3.1.3(d) Person-to-Person Experiences: If your app enables the purchase of realtime person-to-person experiences between two individuals (for example tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training), you may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments. One-to-few and one-to-many realtime experiences must use in-app purchas

In Sweden, via-app medical consultancy gets a standard way for this services as a first - line support. Payment for this is fixed and goes to the registry, where after certain amount of payments, you're getting free consultancy (It's by the health care system). How they are going to handle that?

Too me this new guideline is like a wide net - most of top application will have to violate some rules there, but in case of miss subordination (like Epic) then having that rule is a simple case in court.

trzeci··on Youtube-dlc – Download videos from YouTube or other video platforms
I was also using JDownloader mostly, but looks that this comment isn't popular. Is there something about JDownloader that I'm missing?
trzeci··on GPT-3 Explorer
If GPT-3 was trained on the Internet and even if some information is publicly available, then solution described might be somehow legally protected. Does GPT-3 recognises that?

Can I request a share in selling of GPT-3 license if I prove that uses my solutions?

trzeci··on Why is America stuck with bad headlights?
This is not a standard feature of new cars, but it's pretty affordable addition for middle segment cars (In my MPV it was an extra 700$). Premium cars getting this more and more frequently, not LED, but lasers in case of Audi (and VAG).
trzeci··on GitHub Readme Templates
I can't read half of them, maybe if someone would add more emoji would be easier.
trzeci··on Building a $5k ML Workstation with Tiitan RTX and Ryzen ThreadRipper [video]
My addition is that Dark Rock Pro TR4 is pretty bulky and I have a problem with Asus Zenith Extreme (Please note it's the older generation for 2950X) and radiator covers my PCIE#1 slot, so that I can't put graphics card there.
trzeci··on After iOS 14, there's almost no reason to buy an Android phone anymore
Writing that as a mobile game developer: As long as supporting variety of devices on Android makes me suffer during long debugging evenings - I think that open nature of Android makes the mobile innovating much faster.

Competition between Android phones is enormous - which results with such great hardware features like 90Hz+ displays, truly full screen displays, under-screen fingerprint reader. Picture-in-Picture, Split view - those things were available for a long time on Android - and I loved to add support for them.

I think iOS would be never like nowadays if no Android was released, without Android will never innovate as much - due monopoly of one company using that OS.

trzeci··on How to Use Your DSLR Camera as a Webcam in Linux
I've started to use it, and it works flawlessly on Fedora. Well done!
trzeci··on Defold game engine source now available and free to use for commercial games
I think it does mean that I can't fork Deflod, rename it to Refold and sell as mine.

Just a reflection as non-native English speaker. Game Engine Product is not the same as 'Product of Game Engine'.

trzeci··on A simple C++11 thread pool implementation
The 'simple' adjective is vastly abused - in majority of cases code behind 'simple' project isn't simple - like in this case a person without mid-advanced knowledge about threading / binding / synchronisation / generic programming will have a problem to grasp what's going on in the implementation.

Side note is that I love how rust simplified that (https://docs.rs/threadpool/1.7.1/threadpool/).

trzeci··on Ask HN: What's an Innovation for You?
Thanks, I have some following question. Do you concern that smaller technical control will decrease quality?
trzeci··on Rust 1.34.0
Such a boring release. That's why I love Rust.
trzeci··on Compile Ruby into WebAssembly
I'm proud that this project's Dockerfile bases on mine :D Didn't expect it will be used widely.
trzeci··on Electricity Map – Live CO2 emissions of electricity consumption
This page shows that some countries produce electric power in cleaner way than other. This projects only one point of view, and congratulations for countries that are shifting towards green sources.

But, title is misleading: This map doesn't show consumption or total production.

Moreover an option "Show wind" emphasis that countries with less green electricity poison other countries. Which is false. From this map it looks that Europe suffers from Estonia and Poland being there. If we'll consider total production from http://world.bymap.org/ElectricityProduction.html we have following data:

- Estonia: 12900000 (tons / year)

- Poland: 108750000 (tons / year)

- Germany: 228717000 (tons / year)

Without having total numbers there, my feeling is that this page tries to manipulate.

trzeci··on User banned from Das Keyboard forums for telling people of open-source drivers
Side note: I have Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate, so no labels on keys are there. Even with an ordinary keyboard I don't look at it. Who does if it's about writing? I don't understand concept of displaying some information via colors on specific keys.
trzeci··on Documenting the Web together
Why Samsung?
trzeci··on GIMP 2.9.6 Released
If GIMP is pushing to multi-threading I wounder what's the motivation to stick to C as a main language.
trzeci··on 64-bit Firefox is the new default on 64-bit Windows
This is very good news for Emscripten / WebAssembly developers. One of the main limitation in ASM.js / WASM based applications is a size of emulated HEAP. It has to be a contiguous memory block, what is so unlikely to allocate by browser (from my tests it's ~10% of users cannot allocate 256MB for HEAP). It's that due a memory fragmentation.

Having 64 bit by default fixes such problem. That's a good move. Well done moz://a

trzeci··on Dell XPS 15 9560 Review
Hi, I've had lots of problems with the previous version of XPS15 - 9550 (More info @ https://trzeci.eu/dell-xps-15-9550-was-the-most-problematic-... )

It was included: problem with CPU and random freezes, Coil Whine, Swollen Battery, SSD problem and problem with misaligned Jack port with a hole in case.

In total, my device was repaired 3 times (within 10 months) and from the original device I have a case, touch-pad and screen only.

I'm not here to complain, because after the battery fix was done, it works perfectly. The Dell Service is super helpful and reactive, D2D warranty is just awesome.

My question is: Have somebody seen any indicators of problems listed above in 9560?

trzeci··on Without Flash the current web tech stack might look different
Thanks :)
trzeci··on The Ship of Theseus Paradox of XPS15 9550
Can somebody confirm if XPS13 is as problematic as old XPS15? As a fan of Dell's product I've started to have some concerns after my story with XPS15
trzeci··on Live display of CO2 emitted to produce electricity in European countries
With the great power is connected a great responsibility to create a visualizations that don't manipulate data and show a meaningful information.
