In NZ, the 13 Mini (which I'm tempted to get this week, upgrading from a 6S) is reduced by $50. $1,449 -> $1,399 for the 256 GB model.

While France is generally a lot more self-sufficient (and exports energy to its neighbours), that's not happening currently, as almost 59% of its reactors are offline for maintenance.

It can solve the problem: that doesn't mean there aren't other potential issues that need to be handled correctly. Take France for instance - it's currently becoming a net importer of electricity due to many (~60%) of its N

You mean third point? Sure there's a lot of empty space here, but places like Wellington have very little space left for development, and significant suburbs (Lyall Bay, Seatoun, Petone, Eastbourne) will likely need to have significant

I think there is - if you're willing to pay for it: Parsec's a pretty good cheap solution, and Teradici (HP have taken them over now) is good at the enterprise level.

It probably doesn't need to be in all cases, and for simple stuff like generic image processing (resizing/rotation), there's probably no "secret sauce" to worry about. You could maybe technically argue things like

I'd personally agree with this, but at the same time, I think aircraft like the F-35 have moved to touch displays instead of 4th gen MFDs (but works with gloves?), and didn't some of the SpaceX stuff have touchscreens. There must

From what I've read, the Concordes had preferential landing treatment on westbound flights into JFK and Dulles, due to their shortage of fuel, and the controllers would often allow them to land before other planes that had been queuing

Some films (and a lot of TV shows in the 80s/90s) often got the angle of the projection wrong as well, so there's an obvious miss-match between the perspective of the interior of the car and the outside... i.e. the angle of the ca

As someone in the VFX industry myself (but as a software dev writing the tools the artists use), I'd argue those examples are generally useful work being done on the movie to make things "more real". Whether it's worth i

This won't be their entire pipeline though. People will have to use the open source version in vanilla DCCs without all of Dreamworks' integrations, so will only be exposed to a bit of it in terms of configuring the renderer'

Not necessarily: it would depend on what Dreamworks' requirements have been up to now as to the current state: obviously, they use volumetrics, but almost all their stuff is CG and not necessarily photo real, being more artistic-driven

Interesting, seeing as at least on Trolls they were using AWS for some of their compute for rendering. Some Dreamworks employees on the tech side left for AWS as well.

Yeah. They've open sourced OpenVDB and other smaller things before, and have contributed things to Embree and OpenSubDiv, but those were libraries/storage formats, not entire production-capable renderers. At the same time however,

IMO the experience of using Music app for local files (AAC or MP3) has regressed over the years from the 3GS days... You can't hide some things like the Radio button, you can't click artist names of songs playing to jump to the ar

ECS on its own doesn't always help - it's not a magic bullet for every situation: sometimes you need to use spatially-aware data structures / acceleration structures for those type of "queries", and vanilla ECS (i.e

In my opinion, the iOS experience for playing offline music is going downhill, and has been since the iPhone 3GS era. It gets more and more difficult to have a UI dedicated to offline music - you can disable streaming, but you can't di

While that's true in general, there are different ethnic groups in different countries, and it might be possible this may have some differences in some cases. Even with things like Covid, different ethnic groups (i.e. Pasifika / M

Google had StringPiece and LLVM had StringRef in 2012 and provided similar functionality. https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n34... No mention of Rust there I can see.

I tried things like pollster, and they wouldn't work in my case for reasons I can't remember (but I asked for assistance on the Rust Discord and there didn't seem to be ways around it).

The viral aspect is the thing which really annoys me as well about it: I have some apps that make one or two single requests to DBs in certain configurations, and I've had to end up using async for those parts (up to main() obviously

It has fairly bad performance in UI-terms in my experience on Linux as well with large files, I think because it's written in Python, so things like highlighting take ages...

So you want them to publicly list / make download-able any phone numbers of the people in that 5%, and their full names and email addresses?
