  1. Fuck smooth scrolling. I don't want scrolling to lag behind what I'm doing with my mouse scroll wheel. We're in 2019, scrolling should be instantaneous, not smoothed-out for idiots who can't follow the pace of their own actions.

  2. Re:5400RPM HDD in base systems WTF?? on Apple Finally Updates the iMac With Significantly More Powerful CPU and GPU Options (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The Mac mini is the budget computer and all models come with an SSD drive.

  3. And you're a math failure. FPGA isn't even a valid option to a Raspberry Pi. You can get 20~40 Raspberry Pi Zero for that price.

  8. Did videogames help its popularity? on After 40 Years 'Dungeons & Dragons' is Suddenly Popular (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Did games such as Final Fantasy, Diablo, World of Warcraft, Neverwinter Nights, etc have an influence on keeping the genre alive?

    We also had movies like Conan the Barbarian/etc in the 1980's.

    But during the 1990~2010 period, science-fiction was more popular because of the millennial shift (for some reason), which diminished the popularity of other genres.

    I guess this is simply the return to the equilibrium between all genres being popular that we had as before.

  10. Worldwide race for supremacy? What a joke. on Stanford Unveils New AI Institute, Built To Create 'A Better Future For All Humanity' (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 2

    In the beginning, there was man. And for a time, it was good. But humanity's so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption. Then man made the machine in his own likeness. Thus did man become the architect of his own demise.

    The problem is, even if Facebook goes down another will simply take its place because people never learn.
    Internet people, doubly so.

    You know what's ironic? That fucking caniuse website doesn't even work with Safari 9.1.3, which is barely three years old.

    What are people fucking doing that a three years old browser can't even display basic content?
