You will get much more input lag doing this which really hurts the game playing experience.

"More importantly, even when it is working they do not coordinate arrival times, such that it is exceptionally common to arrive on one mode, where the platform faces directly the other mode, but it has just departed. 30 seconds of scheduling either side would greatly increase efficiency, but it's nobody's department."

This worked perfectly when I was in Sydney.

You don't want to anti-alias when having pixel art.

Is the Linux driver available?

Wouldn't it be more like 74% after 30 years?

There are very few reasons why a Waymo should get on a ferry. It can take you to the ferry and then you can get another transportation (maybe even a Waymo!) when you disembark.

Executives, definitely yes. One person should be responsible for automated systems and services. The CEO is the most logical choice.

I can't remember a big disagreement. Me and my wife had to put up money to buy into an existing complex (it is basically like a condo).

If you don't want to use this then it really does not matter to you. Or am I missing something?

"Probably the most egregious. Why am I not allowed to compile my own kernel? Why do I have to get a kernel, and modules, from specific, approved, vendors?"

Because otherwise you can cheat of course. You can code in whatever you want in your own Linux.

You don't have to live in a city if you don't want to. In Japan you can choose if you want to live in the countryside or in the smack middle of Osaka.

I live like this, it works great.

Some of us that live in more like townhouses have our own gardens/yards as well.

He just lied about that.

Read the linked article.

It is OK to fail. It is not OK to continuously lye to people who have provided you with money (or anyone else for that matter).

He was a very entertaining blogger! RIP.

However, he was also ripping people off and making up stuff: https://www.jeremyreimer.com/rockets-item.lsp?f=true&p=272

"It certainly feels like physical media is dying right now. Maybe more reason to switch to investing in it over streaming services, not that an individual's budget decisions in this vein will affect the company's bottom lines enough that they will notice."

What is an ocean if not a million drops?

That first quote in the article perfectly sums up how people can change.

You also funnel money back to the person who bought the media in the first place, and they might use the money to buy more media.

"But it's a lot of small stuff like you copy / extract a file then no more window just a small indicator in the corner of the file explorer which cannot stay on screen so i can track the progress easily, and what happen if I close the explorer ? Does it continue in the background or stop because everything is closed i'll never know."

This is Hacker News. You can just try and see what happens.
