I want the physical book for the shelf but I read the ebook on my smartphone. Way more convenient for me.

How do you find out about new games? in c/[email protected]

[–] Curdie 5 points 10 months ago

Steam tells me about new releases that are in my area of interest. I'm mostly into multiplayer games so there are a few of us who keep an eye out and talk about upcoming games and stuff so it's not just up to me.

You don't crank up the clock speed for massively parallel workloads like rendering in blender. Higher clock speed is for single threaded workloads that need to go faster.

I had low expectations for the show and was still disappointed. I really disliked it. Love the books though.

tinode, Modern XMPP Replacement in c/[email protected]

[–] Curdie 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My issue with XMPP was the lack of synchronization between clients. If my mobile was offline while I was chatting on desktop, mobile client would never have the same chat history as desktop and my conversation history would be fragmented. When I asked about it on some developer forum, they basically just said that was out of scope for XMPP and should be implemented in client. Which sort of makes sense if the client is a web client hosted somewhere but I wanted a thin desktop client like pidgin.im
