Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?

This is a popular joke in IT -- but it's also seriously true. In the original "Jurassic Park" movie, Hammond brags about "sparing no expense" in all the features of the park, but then underpays/understaffs the IT department. This is then the cause of the downfall of the park.

At this point I feel like I should do a stream tomorrow to talk about the replies I've seen to this post. I completely disagree with people's umbrage about use of FPS as a metric here: A) that is exactly what time-to-show actually is (we measure 1% and .1% lows in for a reason!),

I fucking DESPISE annual corporate self-review and goal setting. My goal is to get a paycheck every couple weeks

The most revealing thing in this post is that the worker’s need to live never appears as a real business cost. VAT is real. Business rates are real. Energy bills are real. National Insurance is real. Rent is real. Beans, milk, cups, insurance, accountants, card fees, compliance,

I wanted to test this now-promulgated claim that "94ms time-to-show" - assuming that's accurate - would constitute Microsoft having "managed to improve the run prompt latency" that "nobody has had an issue with" in previous versions. On a 60fps* HDMI frame capture from my

One thing I miss about the 90s and 2000s and the part of the 2010s is that every 2 years tech just got better. Games looked remarkably better, the systems you would buy would be significantly better. Honestly at this point I can barely tell the difference, performance wise, for

HI Pal …. Incredible composure 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Jenson Button (not even a side eye) However…. The McLaren chap was simply superb 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team

Daley Thompson's Decathlon (1984) by Ocean Software is not just a great game but also a notorious joystick killer. Apart from that it's also among the first commercial home computer games to feature "real world" in-game ads (Pepsi, Woolworth, etc.) Music artist: The legendary

I can start and stop a Casio stopwatch in 0.07 seconds, which is 70ms. 200ms is not instant...

nobody is asking the important question about github: what if MICROSOFT built github??

Kimi’s great. Sadly it won’t take long for people to invent ridiculous reasons in their heads to not like him.

AI steals from us and every other writer and now I get accused of using it to write things that I wrote myself. Using mostly correct grammar on the internet = using AI, apparently. i guess ill start writing dummer so its doesnt seems like ai and mayb e i wont use puncshuation

I went to a lovely village fete today, and there was a fish ‘n’ chip van, so I had a large cod and chips. My missus ‘didn’t want any’, but then, of course, proceeded to eat around 40 per cent of my chips. Also, two random women simply walked up and helped themselves to some, as

Elon’s mom caught posting from the perspective of Elon’s dad. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to assume Elon is posting on Twitter as both his parents & was on the wrong alt. The cringe deepens daily with this one.

Guten Tag, you Allied Schweinhund. Exactly 34 years ago today, Wolfenstein 3D was unleashed on the world. The mangled bits of pseudo-German (Mein Leben!) made this game an instant classic. I always thought it added even more smiles for native German speakers, because the

I already thought Elon’s mom constantly defending him on twitter was embarrassing. I didn’t even consider that Elon was the one tweeting as his own mom and defending himself, which is maybe the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen

"AI code is crap." The shit your human engineers get up to:

Management: how do we get people to use more tokens Thariq: hear me out

Middle-aged men are crap at maintaining friendships, it's true, but the reality is most of us have got pretty close to fuck all of any substance to say to each other. We just want some peace and quiet.
