That's assuming it's actually harmful, which we have absolutely no proof of, just "think uh duh childrens" gut feelings. Society hasn't collapsed just because kids have had access to internet porn for a few generati

"Problematic?" Why is that? Straight women and gay men enjoying beefcake aren't hurting anyone.

Damn, I really should have included JoJo as an example of straight male manga fans being totally cool with ludicrously flamboyant male characters. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121201210751/jjba/image... h

Objectification literally means treating a person like a thing. An example of objectification would be a "damsel-in-distress" character with no personality of her own, that exists only as a "reward" for the hero after hi

Again, I hate to respond in image macros, but the idea that women don't find men like Batman or Spider Man attractive is bullshit. http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/258/9/6/tumblr_mtg0

Batman is improbably built. See how his muscles bulge preposterously from his armor? [1] In real life, most body builders focused on "aesthetics" would have to starve themselves to bring their body fat levels low enough to create

>I don't get manga at all, but it's a different phenomenon ... and girls aren't in the niche. That's hilariously false, both in Japan and abroad.

I was going to include that exact screenshot, but I didn't think the HN crowd would be down with iM@S.

The DS was designed to be backwards compatible with the GBA, so rather than leave that required hardware to waste, the GBA's CPU was employed as a sound and IO controller, and the GBA's 2D video hardware was mildly enhanced to sui

When did you work there? What you heard at EA applies to AAA console devs. If you're gambling everything on a blockbuster game with an enormous budget, it's true, I don't think it would be smart to make a PC exclusive today.

More like, the iOS app store gold rush ended. The indie dev scene is thriving on PC. Stop throwing your time and money away developing for a platform overwhelmingly used by people that don't really care about your games, that are looki

I should have been clear, I'm talking about Intel and AMD's monster desktop and server-class CPUs here, not mobile. For that matter, mobile GPUs are very different from desktop/console/HPC-class GPUs as well.

by ANTSANTS 12y ago
I'm aware of AMD's terminology here, and I disagree with it. They say "SIMD array of scalar processors" where "SIMT" makes much more logical sense to me. I believe the only reason that they maintain this "

I haven't been able to produce a reliable test case, but I have noticed that fairly often, I try to search for a story or comment that I know exists, that I distinctly remember seeing in the past, and I won't be able to find it.

Yeah, of course there are tasks that can be executed with coarse-grained parallelism, that can take advantage of multiple threads. It's not embarrassingly parallel though like with graphics, where you have millions of pixels that can

> What GPU vendors call cores aren't. It's like calling hair brush pins as hair brushes. I agree. In the past I posted a decent (if I do say so myself) introduction to hyper threading and SIMT here: https://news.ycom

Yes, because it's probably impossible to solve the problem of women being harder on women, just as I think it's impossible to solve the problem of men being harder on other men (in the grand scheme of life, not just looking at the

Ok, you can break the stopwatches, I'm sure that will make people more comfortable talking to each other. EDIT, because HN isn't letting me submit new replies: It was hyperbole. I don't care if it's an actual stopwatch,

Where do you draw the line between "these women have internalized misogyny" and "people are more critical of their own gender?"

I had a pretty big post going, but vardump and Symmetry conveyed the gist of what I was going for much more succinctly, so I'll summarize:[1] GPU cores are tiny because the problems they deal with are "embarrassingly parallel&quot

One of the points Casey is trying to make with this series is that, at least in games, dynamic languages aren't quite the silver bullet for productivity that people make them out to be, and you can write your gameplay code just fine in

Someday, mankind will give birth to an artificial intelligence far more sophisticated than anything we can comprehend, and our species will cease to be relevant. A very long time from then, the universe will become too cool to support life

Sure, we all settled relatively steadily on fruitful common ground in the end, and that's all that really matters. I just think it's ironic that people toot the RISC horn so hard in these threads when modern high performance RIS

Or did CISC win? Old CISC: Microcoded interpreters interpreting higher level ISAs. "New" CISC: JITs transpiling higher level ISAs into microcode. Old RISC: Let's skip the middle man and deal with 80s CISC microcode directly,
