Copying the entire framebuffer over the PCI bus makes me sad, though it's obviously way faster than when you could memory-map the framebuffer. These days you can't map texture objects in memory because texture storage on GPUs is i

SDL is generally the most painless way to get a framebuffer you can draw in, cross-platform, and it also handles creating windows, reading input and playing sounds if you want to. You can use it from C and pretty much any other language has

Well, the list of tools is at least as useful as the most useful tool on the list, and probably reflects the overall usefulness of its category. Which means that if we go enough levels farther, the master list of lists [of lists...] would r

I don't use Apple products, but I do use a wireless charger for my Samsung phone. The reason is that I keep it in a rather beefy protector case and fiddling with the charging port flap is annoying, which would also impede it working wi

A bit offtopic, but I've been wondering - is it possible to destroy money in any way other than literally burning banknotes. With electronic money you can only transfer them between parties, so while you can give away all your money, t

But BST would mean waking up an hour early all the time and that's its own kind of hell. Your body doesn't care for where the hand on the clock is and the standard 9am work start time is meant to allow you to get up at some normal

Abolishing the EU would have the unfortunate consequence of unmitigated Russian influence over all of East Europe. The system needs to change, but abolishing the EU entirely would be a net loss.
