In high school, I once volunteered at a local library for a few hours, sorting returned book alphabetically. At the start, I tried just grabbing the alphabetically "first" book repeatedly, moving it to the front. This got old fast

I think there's free alcohol on international flights, but you pay for it in domestic flights.

I work on Windows (speaking informally here, these are my own opinions and not those of my employer, etc.) We care a lot about GDPR and privacy, and there's been a big top-down push to reduce the amount of telemetry collected, includin

I'm constantly turning my Netflix profile language to Korean so that I can get Korean subtitles for my wife. It's an annoying workaround, but it often works.

I've found it affects how sharp lines look for me on Quest. I like to find a vertical line somewhere and dial in until it looks decently sharp.

That's unreasonably cool. Do you think it consumes more resources than if they just gave you more than 64K to work with, or do you think you were pushed to optimize further because of the limitations?

People usually use it because piped input is a known interface, you don't have to go digging through a man page or help page to figure out what flag is needed to accept input from a file. "Data flows from left-to-right" is al

Aren't you effectively asking the compiler to solve the halting problem? I think the best you could do would be heuristics - having inferred or user-supplied bounds on the complexity of functions, having rough ideas on how disk or netw

The article does mention that it's more durable than vantablack, so perhaps more suitable for a space-based project (if it turns out a really black material is useful for a solar panel of sorts).

The biggest problem, in my opinion, is that there appear to be two settings, one for trackpad, and one for a mouse scrollwheel. You can find them in different locations. They change the same value, though. You can't have natural trackp

The Medium article says that was intentional: > That gives the elevation spread of about 1.15% of the mean radius. I’ll use a bit higher value of 2%, so the terrain features are more prominent.

You'd need to emulate/simulate/shim all the graphics calls and state changes, but that shouldn't have any bearing on the actual code architecture. In fact, given that Dolphin uses a JIT, you could argue that this already

Is it really more power-efficient? CPUs are often a smaller process node than integrated GPUs and it's much easier to share common work between pixels with CPU rendering, reducing redundant operations.

What you describe is a natural consequence of adding the side-to-side velocity to the forward-and-back velocity. It is simple to implement, fast to run, and would be completely correct with something like a spaceship, where velocity compone

What you are describing is a coilgun, a railgun uses a slightly different principle.

I think they were suggesting that you could save fuel for once you're out of atmosphere, so that you're not fighting air resistance when you start a burn to get into orbit.

They also considered only Lua 5.1, when Lua is on 5.3 already (and soon to be 5.4).

I think it’s not unusual for any program to be 30% faster than the program it replaces. So far I haven’t seen any specific examples of the C++ or Rust compiler providing a speedup by leveraging additional information input by the programmer

There's no reason for them to even tell us that they're using Tor, except to raise the specter of some retaliatory bogeyman.

Someone should port this to C and add it to the next version of Lua, given that Lua's main datatype is pretty much a hashtable with some extra magic.

When doing an interview at Google in C, I asked if I could assume I had a hashtable implementation with so-and-so interface, and the interviewer said no ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right, I know that you’d want to use radar for longer distances, but if the towed decoy is meant to appear as a juicy target, to take a hit for the fighter, couldn’t you just follow it until you’re in close range, and then switch to a bette

How well would a towed decoy be able to fool a missile equipped with a camera and a neural net trained on pictures of fighter jets? Are the distances and speeds too extreme for a visible light camera? Is there some technology to "blind
