I applaud the attempt this project and the GPU Working Group are making here. I can't overstate how any effort to make the developer experience for heterogenous compute (Cuda, Rocm, Sycl, OpenCL) or even just GPUs (Vulkan, Metal, Direc

I'm glad they decided to add this. I still want the ability to disable all the account login stuff part of the UI. So i hope they make that as an option too. Since, I don't like signing into my software.

Well for those who are stuck with Windows because of some applications or simply because of familiarity. My suggestion is to stay on an older release as long as possible. If that isn't possible I would recommend keeping the computer tu

This is something I've been thinking about lately. I do think memory safety is an important trait that rust has over c and other languages with manual memory management. However, I think Rust also has other attractive features that tho

Well the premise of Idiocracy was that stupid people would out breed smart people making people more stupider in the future. One key part of that premise can already be challenged today by the the current global concern over population decl

>we plan to ship WebGPU on Mac and Linux in the coming months, and finally on Android Sounds good. I'm not really thrilled about it as of now. What ever the reason, it's not been supported in Linux for any browsers as of yet. M

I've never experienced dynamicaland in person (only seen videos). However, one concern I have about it's demos so far is that they use a projector. So you need a room dark enough to for the projected light and you need to keep you

The only solution to traffic I can see happening here realistically is a sudden dramatic increase to gas prices. As for public transit I can't imagine a solution. It probably won't ever be solved and thinking about such things wil

Maybe open source doesn't need to coordinate. Perhaps users and developers should demand standards and interoperability from their platforms. Perhaps that's why we have things like Electron, Unreal Engine and Unity. One way or ano

Nashville really sucks when it comes to public transit in general. The reason ridership is so low is because it doesn't go where you need it to and it takes way way longer to get to the places it does go. Also traffic is very bad and a

Well with cars I think many would appreciate if they too were more malleable. My Dad has often told me of a car he once had that was really easy to repair (edit: it was a VW Beetle) as he was not known as someone who was terribly handy. Do

My view is that languages don't matter only libraries and engines. If you want to make an iOS app then Swift is for you. If you want to make an Unreal Engine game then C++. If you want to make a website then JavaScript. If you want to

No, $699 is too much. That being said price isn't the only thing that keeps me away from Apple. They are beautiful systems but very annoying to use IMO. Speaking as a long time Linux user who occasionally helps people with their comput

This sounds like a good approach to overcoming rusts slow compile times and lack of dynamic linking. One thing I'm concerned about with this path is what about hot reloading and fast script running? Doesn't everything in the wasm

I think Google also pays some OEMs to pre-install Chrome on their PCs. Also Android is a pretty big percentage of mobile phones. Google also pays Apple, Mozilla and other browsers to be the default search. Clearly, Google believes defaults

Maybe you're confusing Microsoft's old original interest in browsers - to block a competing app runtime to Windows, with their and Google's current browser interest - as a channel to funnel all users to their services mainly

Much of the reasoning is to take away the tools these companies have abused to insulate themselves from competition and swallow up more of the market.

Yeah that's what immediately came to mind. This must be part of their effort to merge Chrome OS into Android. On the Chrome OS side they already said are going to be replacing the kennel and other system stuff with Androids guts.
