It's pretty well established that the market for Yuzu is playing commercial games. Just look at their home page: https://yuzu-emu.org/ Maybe not direct piracy, but clearly adjacent to it. We aren't running homebre

The last time a plane's flight system screwed up big time, the manufacturer was found to be at fault, all models of that plane were grounded, and it was a massive public scandal.

The market for mobile communication was well established. In the mid 80s, car phones were already popular for rich executives and other people who needed to be accessible on the go, and it was the late 90s when flip phones started becoming

Haha, you missed the scam. They don't sell their latest mining equipment. Why would they? They sell the mining equipment after they have no use for it and it's costing them money to keep it running.

The top Bitcoin mining pools in China create their own mining ASICs in house for competitive advantage. You just can't compete without spending years catching up to their hardware designs.

Google bought YouTube in ~2006. If Ruth Porat saw the amount that it bled in its first two years, they would have canceled it then too. GCP is questionable, they're falling behind. I think the issue is that Google, at the high level, i

Have you seen CUDA? It's C++, where half of it runs on the CPU, and half of it runs on the GPU. Memory transfers are automatically scheduled for you! No, obviously the hardware doesn't magically transform when you run a CUDA progr

Compute shaders and CUDA have very different execution and driver models. Just take a look at the way memory is managed in each.

Yes, but it's not scanning the entire string, it's scanning at most 256 bytes. In MSVC, the number of bytes scanned is `M*N` where M is the number of calls to scanf and N is the size of the file. In musl, N is now 257, no matter t

Let's look at the source: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/stdio/vsscanf.c It fills in a buf with a string_read callback, but if we look at what vfscanf does, it uses shgetc, which

by Jasper_ 6y ago
Musl reads the "file" in 256 byte increments and calls strlen on each one. Still a strlen, but on short strings it would only be called once, on a short amount of data. It would work fine for this use case.

Engine code is very often a small, small part of what makes games "buggy". Bugs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but a majority of the bugginess of games that I've seen stems not from code, but from the large matrix of

I don't know if you need to handle break/continue specially during the AST parse. Once you do flow analysis and have your basic blocks, it should be pretty easy to place your lexical defers into the right spots, on the graph edges
