And here I am with thousands of bucks worth of camera gear still taking photos with my phone just like everybody else. If anything people with an interest in good cameras are more likely to want a good camera on their phone also.
As a non-redditor I don't give a pink shit about what they allow. The point is that it's a terrible site and people should be aware before deciding to waste their brain cells there.
Except that being a Nazi in most parts of the Western world are viewed as far worse than being an antifa thug.
I already doubt this is actually the case, and with antifa acting like it is, it most certainly will not be the case for very long. You might only hear pro-antifa opinions because of consensus hacking efforts by the social engineers in silicon valley and because people who don't want to get involved don't speak up.
I'm sorry your white supremacist beliefs make you into among the most deplorable human beings around.
"Deplorable" huh, do you remember how using that word turned out last time? Good luck winning over hearts and minds with that attitude.
The games can run 100% accurately at full speed and still have latency. Latency means how quickly the output of the program reacts to the input, not how fast the program runs. Emulators will typically add several frames of latency. It's not all even the emulators' fault, audio buffers, USB polling speed, frame buffers, LCD display all contribute to latency. Old hardware typically didn't have the memory for audio or video buffering so trading latency for quality wasn't even an option.
This video demonstrates the latency difference between a NES game running on retro pie and real hardware. Real hardware even running at 50Hz instead of 60Hz is so fast to react that it feels like the jump started before the button was even pushed!
If you play virtual instruments with a MIDI keyboard you can sensitize yourself to (at least audio) latency by increasing and decreasing the audio buffer size and using voices with very fast attack. Huge difference between how it feels to play with 512 and 64 samples even though it's "only" 10 milliseconds.
Judging by the Ars Technica article, no reason to believe the facts was given, no explanation where the myth came from and why it's wrong was wrong was given. Is it any wonder nobody was swayed? People don't actually believe just anything written on paper, who knew!
The conclusion drawn in this study is wrong. People aren't mistaking repetition for truth, the presentation just sucked.
That is not the claim. The claim is that we knew 100 years ago that it was safer to vaccinate than to not vaccinate.
Sure, 100 years ago you were vaccinating against smallpox, the ultimate low-hanging-fruit for vaccination. Vaccinating against smallpox now would surely be less safe than not vaccinating! And that is the issue, since vaccines actually aren't completely free of side effects you should not vaccinate for every possible disease against which a vaccine exists, only the ones that you are at a high enough risk of actually getting to offset the real but not very high risk of side effects. Implying this is not the case is so obviously wrong that it only adds fuel to the anti-vaxxers' flames, so please stop doing it.
That's weird, I could've sworn I got vaccinated this year and I haven't been a child in decades. Not that I am pregnant but there's no reason a pregnant woman couldn't get vaccinated.
Granted, this isn't the link people usually think of (if they think at all) when talking about the link between vaccination and autism.
Perhaps it's just me not paying attention to American celebrity culture, but across the pond it sure sounded like the vast majority of celebs were on the side of Hillary.
I first used Gnome in 2006 and it was immediately obvious to me how to do everything I wanted to. Not so with Gnome 3 *even with previous experience with Gnome*.
This doesn't mean it can't get closer to the original. Hardware emulation introduces less latency than software emulation. This might not be important for turn based games or whatever but having responsive controls not only makes fast-paced games easier to play, it makes them feel more fun.
10.5 was a bad one, I remember the first time I used it I saw my third ever kernel panic in less than 10 minutes. It was so bad Apple advertised 10.6 as having no new features (with the implication that it would actually work this time). So either it was downhill since 10.4 or since 10.6. I'd say 10.6.
Anti intellectualism is rampant. Hell there was just a poll the other day that most republicans thought college was bad. That poll should have been more than a footnote in history. It indicates a terrible rot in society itself when the places we learn are considered the problem in our society.
Is it still anti-intellectualism when it's a professor saying it? The problem is that colleges are no longer the places we learn, they are places of neomarxist indoctrination.
Which is just a way of saying that the content provided is useless, which in my experience generally is the case. That doesn't mean there isn't untapped potential in computer content, it just means that nobody puts in the effort to make it.
Which also mirrors my experience with university level content in general compared to lower grades. It is garbage, you're expected to shell out hundreds of euros for books that are maybe 5% on topic for the course and handouts are just printed out powerpoint slides half of which the lecturer skipped anyways. The only actually on-topic content outside lectures and exercises was old exams if you could get a hold of them.
Meanwhile the more widely adopted curricula for high school and below had dedicated and relatively refined books (in my native tongue even) that were 100% on topic and you could ace every such course simply by going through the books in less time than it would have taken to sit in class, in stark contrast to university where text books were the studying material of last resort.
Producing high quality digital content that leverages technologies like interactive exercises and SRS is a lot of work. You don't get that kind of studying material for courses so small all the students taking it fit in a room.
Which, I guess, just means that there really is no point in having a laptop in class.
I say if it doesn't reflect fear and actual aversion of a thing, then it's not "*-phobic".
So you're saying the joke was homophobic then because clearly it was the "ha ha faggot" kind of derogatory joke that presupposes that homosexuals are subhuman scum.
Casio is, as far as I can tell, the most popular calculator brand here. I had a Casio graphing calculator in high school, some of my friends had TI-84s. It was more obvious to me how to operate the Casio, but I was already used to Japanese calculators at that point.
GIMP and the like have objectively inferior interfaces to Photoshop. This is not a question of familiarity, it is a question of developers actually figuring out what users do with the software and streamlining the most frequently used features. Anybody who has a program as complex as Photoshop in muscle memory will be able to tell you this because adding many of the important shortcuts of Photoshop is *not possible* in GIMP as an end user. There's far more to workflow than adding custom keyboard shortcuts to menu items.
The Krita guys get it. If you only use Photoshop for drawing, Krita is a serious FOSS alternative. I don't see GIMP as a serious alternative to Photoshop for any kind of use.
Krita, when it works as intended, is amazing. I haven't tried it for photo editing but for digital painting it's extremely powerful and has a good interface with a great shortcut system giving photoshop a good run for its money and leaving everything else in the dust.

Yeah we do I'm already on the 2012 model, us macfags sure buy whatever as long as it's new.

South Africa does too, only thing holding them back is that 90% of the farms given to blacks fail.
That's just as well, since it isn't about success at google, it's about wanting to work there in the first place.
You appear to have skipped over the word "not" in "not very high".

Not taking the other side seriously will just make them respond in kind. Thinking and acting like this is why anti-anti-vaxxers have no impact.

No new vaccines have been created since about a century ago? Formulas for old ones haven't been changed? Vaccines need to be evaluated for safety individually. And not holding vaccine manufacturers responsible for harm caused by their products like you would any other medicine is not condusive to making their safety evaluations foolproof.

Okay what were the other people who got killed guilty of if they weren't innocent? Being swedish?
I'm not the one being intellectually dishonest here.
