At least MacBooks got a bit thicker and got a few extra USB-C ports after Ives left Apple.

Yeh I know twenty something year old women who can still look like they are 15 years old if they dress and do their hair and makeup like a 15 year old. Guess the reverse is also true.

IMHO “separate the art from the artist” only applies to criticism of art. Not to consuming the works especially in today’s world where artists get paid by the stream. Like saying you like the song “I believe I can fly” is separating the art from the artist. But if you listen to that song on Spotify you straight up give R Kelly and his beneficiaries, who have condoned his behavior for years, money. So at that point the artist isn’t separated anymore.

The existence of the Steam Machine does not stop people from building their own Linux gaming box. The Steam Machine just proves that it is possible to do so. Like many people’s first PC was a pre built machine and then their subsequent machines were all custom builds. The Steam Machine can do the same for Linux PCs.

The difference between the Steam Machine and an off the shelve gamer pc, is that Valve has created a viable pathway to move away from Microsoft’s dominance in the PC gaming market. This is Valve showing to PC hardware makers that a PC gaming market without Windows is possible. Valve just needs to prove that consumers are willing to buy a Linux gaming machine, so the Steam Machine is the litmus test. Microsoft is Valve’s biggest threat to the survival of their business. Since MS’s anti-consumer behavior will push consumers away from PC gaming. Valve wants to create a PC gaming market where MS’s choke hold has been destroyed. Remember this isn’t Valve’s first attempt, the first Steam Machine was released when Win8 was released where MS tried to push the Windows Store as the default way to download software.

It all depends how you perceive the XY plane. Like if your job involves blueprints than XY plane lies flat and horizontal then it makes sense that Z axis is height. Hence why engineering software is all Z-Up. If the XY plane is upright, like screen coordinates, then Z is depth. Hence why many software that is used to create content for the screen is Y-Up. Like Maya, Houdini, Unity, OpenGL etc.

Screens vs paper. It’s why all the engineering software uses Z-up, since they came from a paper top-down view workflow. But many of the creative software uses y-up, since they exist to create art that gets consumed on a screen. Like animation and games.

True but I think it’s also because of screen coordinates, Y is always the vertical axis in screen coordinates. So programmers translated that to 3D coordinates because in real world space the screen doesn’t lie flat but is up right. It’s probably why Y is up in OpenGL and calls the depth buffer the Z-Buffer.

Y-up sorta makes sense in games. Imagine a 2D platformer, Y is up and X is horizontal. Now add depth. Instead of flipping axis just use Z for depth.

No Unity uses Y as up. Unreal uses Z as up

Sure on a biological level

Sure but culturally it is a lot less normalized than in the Middle East.

Holy Fuck didn’t know that DHH is a straight up Nazi. I always thought he was nothing more than a dumb autistic libertarian, guess that black and white thinking some people on the spectrum have pushes them far right.

The Framework desktop already has soldered ram. That’s because AMD only sells that CPU like that.

Pun aside, on a socio-cultural and legal level yes it is relative, it all depends how far separated you are on the cousin tree and what is legally and culturally acceptable. Like in many Middle Eastern countries first cousin marriages is straight up normal and not considered incest.

iPhone creates a Screen Time report if you want to see actual usage and not just battery usage.

It works like that in Dutch though. For example in Dutch the plural form for “baby” is “baby’s“

So the person who made this meme probably speaks Dutch.
