   Thanks for sharing. I funded Limit Theory and by now had brushed it off as a failure. Glad to see some light coming from there, the project is really cool.

   The Witcher 3 is also available in last gen consoles, and although XCOM 2 has not been announced for consoles (it's still in development), the first XCOM was released even for iOS and Android.

   The answer to the question "How well suited are FPGAs for -insert field where GPUs or vanilla processors do no excel at-?" is always "Far better than the GPUs or proccessors but with an abysmal power usage". In this kind

    Not in social sciences. When you are dealing with people and cultures, trying to find a "law" that applies uniformly to everyone is naive. BTW, if you are really interested, here is an article (with links to actual scientific stud

    Agree with that. Hell knows that I have spent more than eight hours in that game and still haven't been able to defeat a goblin invasion through a decently trained military. There are other ways though, I usually go the overly-complica

    What that article says is incredible, awesome and I wonder if I could replicate it. It probably uses some Xilinx proprietary info about the bitstream though.
