I'm not sure I agree. I love cheating as long as it doesn't inconvenience others. Both trying to become the narrator in this game and winning unconventionally or using bugs in singleplayer games is what makes things fun for me.
Thanks for the original comment—I picked up something new that I hadn't considered before.
That said, you could spin this by suggesting that the mathematician living in that non-Euclidean space might also have a different perspective on numbers. If we assume pi is still constant for him, then the numbers he's always known could be shifting in value but maybe that's a stretch.
It's probably just the common US-centric bias that external development teams, particularly those overseas, may deliver subpar software quality. This notion is often veiled under seemingly intellectual critiques to avoid overt xenophobic rhetoric like "They're taking our jobs!".
Alternatively, there might be a general assumption that lower development costs equate to inferior quality, which is a flawed yet prevalent human bias.
I don't usually comment on HN because I don't feel like I can bring much value to the discussion in many cases and I would agree to moderate it even stricter even if my (rare) comments would be removed.
In real life on the other hand I want to be able to say stupid things and even if I might be more sensible to others' "hate speech" I would not want that to be banned.
Did you remove the metadata before sending it? The bathroom story is far too impressive if you did, and could help identify kidnapping victims' locations
I don't think that point stands for peanuts. I can get a 500g bag of peanuts right now for 2.7 Euros and most likely the reason for that is the cost of living around here.
It depends. HDMI did a USB, and depending on the exact source and sink devices the capabilities may range between what you think of as HDMI 2.1 and “literally the same as 2.0”.
The 2.1 standard supersedes the 2.0 standard, hdmi is not issuing any more 2.0 certs, so any device with that capability level is now 2.1 automatically even with no hardware changes. And every feature is optional, from VRR and 10b to hdr brightness and color profiles.
Notably M1 macs are only 4K60 HDMI 2.1, but there are many others, not just an apple thing at all. Always check the specific features you care about on your devices!
