What's considered "a different race" has changed over the years and the classifications we have today is mostly along social and political boundaries. Before WWII, Polish natives were often seen as of a different race, today

An arbitrary direction takes too many bits to encode, rather than a few set predicted directions. Reminder that you don't have to nail the prediction exactly, but choose a prediction that gives you the lowest residue error. So you need

Opus with good settings is fine. I seriously doubt you could tell the difference between lossless and Opus with a blind ABX test. Do it (you can do it at home!) and get back to me. What's often far more noticeable is all the ways that

Linux "won" because SGI very loudly shit the bed and betting on Itanium, taking IRIX with it, DEC was in the process of making the future of Tru64 very confusing with the Alpha, a computer that didn't support their flagship O

Yeah. We should build lots of enhanced roads. Add in automatic signaling so that the cars know all of the intersections and crossings. Oh, and let's have some bars that come down so that pedestrians don't walk around the path of t

This is what GitHub used to do, before they changed it to the squash model.

Qualcomm already tried a custom ARM chip and failed at it. That was Krait. The "secret sauce" behind the M1 is that it's actually more expensive than a similarly powerful Intel chip, and far, far more expensive than a typical

did you just reinvent Befunge, but unironically?

I've never found this to be a useful difference in practice. Also, JavaScript really doesn't use it correctly to begin with. Arrays are a mess. Like the poster below, I usually cast to one of them, except I cast to null.

I don't know why you keep saying "it's not possible" when I literally wrote code that does it: https://github.com/magcius/noclip.website/blob/cc98112d7b105...

Let's break it down: Low res thin shell means that this is a model without many vertices. The "position based dynamics" is a more modern term for what was sometimes called "verlet integration", using the positions t

Since it's coarse as the BSP, you won't lose objects behind you. The BSP data structure doesn't take into account the camera's looking direction, just the camera's position. Thus, it includes every object visible fr

1 instruction per cycle at 1GHz? With no custom memory architecture?? On an FPGA???? Keep dreaming, kid.

The malicious actor insists they shipped 1 ton of bricks, and that the port authority is lying or stole the remaining ones. The blockchain says they shipped 1 ton of bricks, after all.

Yes, I know about what the IETF considers a "public Internet address", but it's sort of ill-defined for a lot of standard network topologies. NAT is a technique, not an explicit protocol. The RFCs simply cover the technique a

> It does strike me as weird that there is seemingly no POSIX-compliant way to get your public Internet address, from my readings. There is no singular thing called a "public Internet address". Imagine you're writing paper

You can argue over who's at the top, but we absolutely (currently) do have cushier jobs than writers. You might not believe this, but journalists can also be highly trained workers too. Their world got rocked by a race to the bottom, a

Correct. An SDF is basically an acceleration structure for an "omnidirectional" raycast. A "sphere-cast", if you will. If you are extra careful, you can also approximate a cone trace. Unreal Engine 4 has used it as a way

There is a lot of complexity here not covered by the overview, such as the way that the clustering works (the adaptive splitting like that means that we have not just a tree but a full DAG traversed by the GPU), the way the software rasteri

Why wouldn't they? CPUs and GPUs should obey IEEE-754 floating point rules, assuming you turn -ffast-math off...

This is somewhat of an incomplete analsysis, because you can use light tiling with either forward and deferred. And that's pretty common nowadays. The real advantage to deferred is to save on quad overshading and balance the use of the

You can also set RLIMIT_NOFILE to prevent the number of FDs the app can open if you're worried about it.

A process could also do that by spawning a bunch of processes if it wanted to.

A proper inter-process communication mechanism that supports multicast has been proposed to the kernel multiple times and denied every time. So it's probably not going to happen.

I've always felt like it should be the case that as long as a pidfd for that process is open, the pid doesn't get recycled, so you could open the pidfd and then use kill safely, then close it later. Means you wouldn't need a
