The “nazism” article has links to night of the long knives and holocaust in the very first section. The “communism” article links to the mass murders from the very last page, in an article about 10 pages long. Looking at the edit history of

I dunno man, communism is different. About 25% of the world population are Muslims, roughly 25% of modern countries are predominantly Muslims, yet as you wrote in the comment, ISIL is a small percentage in both space and time. For communist

Didn’t knew about them but I agree the idea is pretty close. The article is not about theory though, it’s about practical application. A naïve implementation of 4-DOP in 2D gonna have dot products i.e. more expensive to deal with. I’ve been

I have doubts. The reason why rasterizers are so good by now — games been pushing fillrate, triangles count, texture samplers performance and quality for more than a decade. Looking forward, I’d rather expect practical 2D renderers using th

Way better than in the article, but still, I like my results better. The problematic elements are thin black lines. On your image the lines are aliased, visible for the lines which are close to horizontal but not quite. And for curved thin

Indeed, on Windows there’s no need for that library. But on Linux, none of that is available. I have used C++/CLI long ago for a couple of minor things, and I didn’t like it. The two runtimes, C++ and .NET, are interacting in a weird w

Good question. If you use the fillRectangle method https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/blob/1.2/Vrmac/Draw/iDrawC... to draw them I think you should get solid fill. That particular API doesn’t us

The short answer — it depends. What you described is called super-sampling. Supersampling is indeed not terribly hard to implement, the problem is performance overhead. Many parts of graphics pipeline scale linearly with count of pixels. If

The quality is not good, and the performance is not even mentioned. I have used different approach: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac#vector-graphics-engine My version is cross-platform, tested with Direct3D 12 and GLE

I disagree with your interpretation. Parents hating their kids don't care what's happening to them, the OP obviously cares, otherwise she wouldn't be writing that article. As for LGBT+, that's unlikely as well, here&#x27

I like C# and use it a lot, but for performance sensitive apps I need SIMD. Microsoft is making improvements, but not enough, still a long way to be comparable to C++. Currently, they don't support NEON on 32-bit ARM, and have performa

Good comment, however for a / 2 and other powers of two modern compilers are instead optimizing division into shifts and modulo into bitwise and. Both are very fast instructions, faster than integer multiplication. Even JIT compilers d

Liquid crystals are, well, liquid. They typically list [ 0°C .. +50°C ] interval. Even laptop CPUs are generally warmer than +50°C when loaded, the limit for various CPUs is often about +85°C .. +105°C. When you place CPU right behind LCD,
