(1) That's beside the point. Even if a phone has a 4k display, they still don't need a camera of more than about 8MP to display it on screen. (2) Yeah, I get this use case, and I understand why there are DSLRs that big. But how ma

You're right, it doesn't - a high-quality 44.1k DAC will out-perform a low-quality 192k DAC any day. But device manufacturers (especially when it comes to phones) are generally not using high-quality DACs. As I said, I wish phone

That's what audio mastering is for. A good mastering engineer tests their masters on iPhone headphones as well as studio monitors. > I would not expect a willingness to exploit consumers' magical thinking to be a good signal fo

24/192 playback isn't entirely silly. It's probably true that you can't hear a difference between a perfectly reconstructed 16/44.1k audio and perfectly reconstructed 24/192k audio. But the quality of your DA

I don't think this is relevant in this case; I don't see how vector fields matter in a turn-based strategy game where all movement is quantized.

Irregular movement costs would be there anyway, due to forests, hills, and other terrain. The fact that "this space is arbitrarily bigger" isn't really a good justification, especially when the game is doing this in an effort

Really cool - I, too, have long been bothered by the cylindrical map in Civ and wondered what a spherical Civ would be like. (At least Civ V's switch to a hex grid solved the biggest pet peeve I had with the game's geometry, since

Aren't there C++ compilers that will compile to C code? Doesn't that effectively make C++ just as portable as C?

So why not use C++? Since it's a superset of C, why not just use C++ to program C-style code, using only the C++ features you want? C++ is a multi-paradigm language; you don't have to write object-oriented code if you don't
