On windows at least you can use a code signing certificate in your build tooling and ask the OS to verify any binaries that you download. Just make sure you use a timestamping server for your code signing or things will break when the certi

The source data is indeed from screen space, but this generates a full 3d data structure by ray marching the depth buffer. Its not using the 2D algorithm. In PoE2s case, it doesn’t need to go further since light sources are not usually goin

This approach was originally developed by Alex Sanikov for Path of Exile 2. Of course in PoE2 it's used in full 3d. The benefit of this approach is that you get global illumination with a constant cost for the entire scene and because

You could select which storage approach on a per table level. That way the new characteristics don’t surprise anyone.

If you think that’s bad let me tell you about the time we ran into a bug in memmove. It had to be an unaligned memmove and using a 32 bit binary on a 64 bit system, but still! memmove! And this bug existed for years. This caused our databas

by Negitivefrags 2y ago
It can be harmful. In GCC while compiling a 32 bit executable, making an std::map< float, T > can cause infinite loops or crashes in your program. This is because when you insert a value into the map, it has 80 bit precision, and that

None of that matters if you already bought the H100 and have no use for it. You might as well recoup as much money as you can on it.

The main concern with this is how do you actually get the records of what the cost basis was from someone who is dead?

The usual way this happens is accidentally logging passwords. Or even other cases where passwords happen to be included in something else. It can happen more easily than you think. Like for example, if you collect server side crash dumps, a

What I don’t like about this argument is that this was originally pitched in the initial video as “All you have to do is release the server you already have, you don’t have to do any extra work”. And I took that to mean that you just have t

I can’t view a video at the moment, so I apologise if this has been answered in that. If the server software a game uses requires a licence to a third party library, what is the developer expected to do about that?

The concept of doing something at runtime that could be done at compile time is anathema for c++ programmers.

In theory ReFS is the replacement. It hasn’t seen large uptake though.

People were saying things like "Why does twitter need 10,000 employees?" for years and years on end. We are seeing a reversion to the mean.

It’s worse in a lot of implementations because often SMS is often used as part of a recovery flow in cases where you lose the first factor. I find it more secure in some contexts to never give a company my phone number at all if possible, s

If we can’t even reliably know what the speed limit is, how can we even be close to self driving cars? Not only is it a way simpler problem, but it’s actually a requirement for self driving also.

I think most databases have some method of turning your Reads into Write locks without needing to actually do a write. Like SELECT FOR UPDATE.

I guess the market isn’t demanding a lot of mortar shells.

If they have fixed costs, why is it a percentage based fee? Why not just be upfront with a fixed dollar value per year of fees for that part?

I found these videos quite hard to watch. There is a level of cringe that I found a bit unpleasant. It’s like some kind of uncanny valley of human interaction that I don’t get on nearly the same level with the text version.

That langauge is C++. I almost never do manual memory management in that language, but you can do it if you want.

You care if you have a mortgage and you live in a non-US country where interest rates can actually go up to price you out of it.

I'm not convinced. People don't say no to increased density because they are worried about increased overall housing supply affecting their house value. They say no mostly because they like the place they are how it is, and they d

It’s interesting that you read an article that basically outlined all the structural supply and demand issues around why house prices are the way they are. And then you turn around and blame the “home is your piggy bank” mentality.

It wasn't really windows lagging, it was explorer. There used to be more things in explorer that were blocked on something ultimately blocked by I/O. This tends to not be the case so much any more, so I doubt it would happen today

See this is why I find this odd. Is there a theory as to how devirtualisation could hurt performance?

I'm not really convinced by this argument. Isn't the actual issue that SDR content tends to be mapped so that 0 is the darkest colour the TV can display and 1.0 is the brightest colour the TV can display? When an HDR signal comes

Consider how many man years it takes to build a house. It might take 20 people a full time year to build your house (including all the time spent creating the materials). If we lived in a truely equal society where everyone was paid the sam

The other way to prevent all destructors running is _exit(0); I tend to add that to software I write inside an #ifdef NDEBUG. The OS does the work faster.
