Picture? Images? But those are just frames of footage the cameras have captured! Why would one purposefully use less information to make a decision rather than more? Just put the full footage in front of an unbiased third party for a multi-

There are more options here than "do nothing" and "go in guns blazing". Establishing the probable trustworthiness of the report isn't black magic. Ask the reportee for details, question the neighbours, look in throu

That's a sampling bias. You're not seeing the opinions of every single person who has viewed an article, just the opinions of those who have bothered to comment. People who agree with an article will most likely just upvote. Hardl

It's not contrived, it's just bad, unfit for the conversation at all. A meal at a restaurant is paid for, MiniIO is not. There's no room for "regardless whether they paid for it or not", the distinction is fundament

Please stop reminding me of how soulless and watered down everything has become :( Games are no different, in Morrowind gods ripped each other's penises off and used them as spears; in Skyrim you fight dragons.

Interesting. Are you a programmer? This is just like the classic programmer obtuse binary thinking, but dialed up to 11. Complete inability to understand that there's more to a choice than "physically possible" and "phys

1. People somehow think that just because today's hardware can't handle RT all that well it will never be able to. A laughable position of course. 2. People turn on RT in games not designed with it in mind and therefore observe

It's fast enough today. Metro Exodus, an RT-only game runs just fine at around 60 fps for me on a 3060 Ti. Looks gorgeous. Light mapping is a cute trick and the reason why Mirror's Edge still looks so good after all these years, b

There's also Metro: Exodus, which the developers have re-made to only support RT lighting. DigitalFoundry made a nice video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbpZCSf4_Yk

Lower latency between your input and its results appearing on the screen is exactly what a fundamental benefit is. The resolution part is even sillier - you literally get more information per frame at higher resolutions. Yes, the law of dim

The 12 & 13 mini with their 5.4 inch screens are huge. The SE 2nd & 3rd generation at 4.7 is already too big. The 1st SE's 4 incher was probably a little too small, but a slightly bigger form factor combined with thinner bezels

Spot on. You can't separate a language from the speakers of it. You can't redo millions of hours of work put into an ecosystem.

That's an interesting way to word "the most efficient way". A solar setup that meets the energy needs of the entire household is going to have to be oversized, which is a waste. Meanwhile, 100% of the output of balcony solar

Not at all? There is an obvious difference between modern languages' (Go, Rust, Zig) build systems and the old mess (C++, Java, Python). You have one tool that does everything you need, from formatting and linting to package management

No, it's the opposite - an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of a cure. Not getting sick in the first place is way better in every way than trying to fix the damage.
