The MX440 allowed players that were playing games on id Tech 3 to finally play at high frame rates. I remember this card being all the rage back then in pro gaming circles for this reason.

The MX440 was an entry level budget card? If it was all the rage in pro gaming circles at the time that's really just a reflection of how poor pro gamers were back then rather than anything to do with the MX440 being particularly noteworthy. In fact looking back at old reviews, it was if anything a flop. Launch MSRP was too expensive for the performance it offered. Especially when it was a DX7 card surrounded by DX8 cards at almost the same price point (including Nvidia's own Ti4200 for just $50 more)

Yes the MX440 deserves to be on this list. More important than the GeForce2 imo.

He’ll taco when he sees the stock market tanking


Israel is making the decisions here, there is no tacoing for them.


but will iran accept the taco? at this point, it seems like it may get ideological for them, and they play a different war (jihad) which would require diverting prolonged resources. we may not be able to simply just leave and revert to normal.


genie is out of the bottle on this one


How many of those are real jobs?


Senior level is doing the heavy lifting here.


Isn’t the person with 14 years experience at least senior? Or are you saying senior is low level enough to get interviews?


Yes, I’m not speaking about the person with 14 years of experience.

I’m saying that looking for senior level roles is much easier than roles that aren’t quite senior yet.


What were you browsing where someone cutting off their own testicles is not as bizarre as other things? I didn't watch the video but atleast there was a warning.

Feds this guy right here ^^


There's some distance between setting pubes on fire and cutting testicles off, dare I say.

Although, setting any kind of hair on fire in public should be punishable, primarily because of stench of the burnt hairs.


> What were you browsing where someone cutting off their own testicles is not as bizarre as other things?

One of my formative early internet experiences was loading up a video of a man being beheaded with a knife.

Luckily, I realized what was about to happen, and didn't subject myself to the whole thing.


As a transgender woman, that isn't something I'd expect to see but am not surprised to see on a site called girl.surgery. dead doves and all that


Looks at the chain of comments, then at the URL domain

Thanks for the warnings, kind strangers.


No. The author uses the term “engineering notebook” to make it sound different than what humans have already been doing for millennia.


What do you use to digitize your Field Notes? I was using EverNote but I’m looking for an alternative.


Just a flatbed scanner.


Thanks, but I mean do you use OCR or any service after scanning them? Would be nice to be able to search through the notebooks once scanned.


You've just described every comment section on HackerNews.


Care to share your output? I doubt your VST is on the same level as something released by a company like Native Instruments, Spectrasonics, etc.
