Some extensions are by design platform-specific. But the mGPU one is not. It requires some OS features which in Windows can only be given by WDDM 2.0. But the specification itself doesn't require WDDM 2.0.

I mean Vulkan specification and its extensions. By definition it can't require Windows 10 exclusive features. It may happen that the only implementations in existence today do have this requirement.

You mean VR optimizations that are not crucial. And I don't think the specification says it requires Win10, does it? It's an implementation issue.

Color is not created by the "count" of photons, but by the wave length of each photon. Multiplication is a simplification but it does have basis in reality (amount of light that bounces versus amount absorbed or converted to an in

I mean the buttons in the GUI scroll bar, that have little arrows or triangles in them. They're way too small and too far apart to be used effectively. For that reason some UI toolkits had both buttons together at the bottom.

I wish the same thing, but for desktop applications too. There are some that implement their own scroll and it's the most annoying thing ever, because it makes the scroll bar unusable. As the article point out, it's vastly differe

He was already eating more calories than he needed. The difference is that after changing his diet he was excreting less calories, since sugar (specifically fructose in the absence of fiber) is absorbed quickly and almost entirely.

I'll rephrase: politicians should consider making easier for both employers and employees to just work less hours with exactly the same hourly wage.

I want one stable, non temporary, part time job, even though I would be earning less. Many people want too.

It may shock you, but rules and welfare were invented by humans, for specific goals. If the goals are not fulfilled any more, it may be time to change the rules. That phenomenon is called "welfare cliff", and it should be addresse

Why aren't politicians making easier to hire people part time? It would benefit not only the unemployed but also the employed that wants to trade part of their salary with more free time.

Even worse, Google never federated with encryption, then Hangouts killed group chats which were XMPP compatible. A few friends and I resisted with several XMPP accounts until they moved to Hangouts. Not to mention all the JEPs that solved t

Yep, that's why I say "(not the transactions, that's a different matter)". A block is only truly valid when its transactions are. But if there are months of blocks after it and enough percentage of nodes are full nodes,

You can start counting from zero or you can start with any of the previous numbers, but in the end the probability that it is the correct number is exactly the same. The header is always different than other headers (even if it's just

The hash of each block is actually the hash of the header. That means you only need to store the headers to validate their hashes (not the transactions, that's a different matter). The header includes the root hash of all the transacti

The problem is that, unlike atomic bombs, we can't calculate and make predictions of what will happen, because we would need precisely the same machines that are required to make higher-than-human intelligence. Therefore we don't
