Because we know that Alameda and Cumberland do not, on the whole, possess $63 trillion in USD. That's the official number of "outstanding Tether" posted on the Tether website [0]. If these allegations are true, the other ho

The most significant thing it's done is send other people's money to hackers. Why should I be impressed by that?

The most popular internet skeptic quoted was one who (correctly) pointed out that they are going to have trouble trusting Amazon not to send them junk, and that Amazon has to fight an uphill battle to earn it. Which they did, and then start

But I thought the goal of blockchain was to replace the messy, centralized, inefficient human concepts of "morality" and replace them with unambiguous code? Code is law and all that. If we still have both, why did we add all that

Unity doesn't have a single source code license or price. It's negotiated per-contract and usually has strings attached (e.g. be the first to ship this tech, attend UnityCon and give this demo). They only do it for big companies a

Because of how the microtask queue works, it can't optimize that out without introducing ordering issues. If you have two Promises, A and B, and each one has a callback that will then do another await, the implementation needs to int

So does Ethereum let me run an uber-like taxi app for fractions of a cent and not pay my employees? How does it do that?

You seem like someone very "plugged in" (ha!) to the cryptocurrency world, so I have to ask: what's the best kind of epoxy to fill my ethernet ports with?

OK then, what does it do? Feel free to tell me. I've asked a lot of times and have never gotten a good response.

Cryptocurrency does not help with this. Also, I asked people to name a project that isn't speculation or loans.

Some actors have simulations (e.g. Beedle's boat) but not too many right now. Compare to Super Mario Galaxy or the Source Engine games where there's even a bit of interactivity.

The big restriction on that system was honestly memory, since the GameCube only had around 24MB of memory usable by the CPU. That's really what necessitated splitting up the Great Sea into chunks. Check the Chrome memory usage while th

I believe you should be able to open DevTools and type "main.viewer.inputManager.releaseOnMouseUp = false" into the Console. Does that help at all?

If someone would like to contribute a new game renderer, I am more than happy to mentor. At this time I am probably not likely to do this work myself though.

Gah, so when Qualcomm uses the word "deferred", they just mean "tiled", and each tile still rasterizes each tri in order. Agreed on terrible terminology, this is a disaster.

When did Adreno gain a deferred more? Back when I was talking to Rob Clark in 2014 or so, it sounded like it was all immediate per-tile.

I was against this approach at the time and made my concerns known. I don't think narrow module-like security is a good implementation idea, and as far as I know, none of the other desktops disagreed with me. https://lists.
