2 watts per core at 3GHz is pretty impressive, what nanometer are they at? But still memory bandwidth is going to restrain those 128 cores to do anything joint parallel, you might actually be better off with many smaller 4-8 core machines.

No, SD cards use flash memory which is based on quantum flips. There wont be anything substantially better per GB/W/durability/$ than 65nm SLC just like 28nm is pretty much the peak of transistor size advantages. The lower yo

Tunneling increases latency. Seen that the final medium/media is a 3D action MMO we don't have time for that latency.

Only use consumer SanDisc or industrial Panasonic SLC (no longer manufactured) SD cards, all other brands are scams. The SD cards have peaked at 1TB but they are getting cheaper. (so far) Only use Intel SATA SSDs, I bought X25-E SLC drives

The pi has no electrolytic capacitors, again my C64 breadbins from 83-85 still have their original ones and work fine.

For small web to exist all fiber ISPs need to provide fixed external IPs and open ports 25, 53 and 80. Dynamic DNS is a hardcoded rentseeking joke in most routers, they never wanted an open standard for that. I'm making my own DynDNS b

So then just use a brush and rub the PCB every 5 years? I mean they can only grow through air right? My 35 years old breadbins show no sign of these, maybe they have more lead in them... time will tell! How ironic if the old breadbins outli

Raspberry 4 is probably the most likely candidate right now. Because you need a user base to make the software carry itself. Also from a power point of view 7W is pretty much what we have to play with if everyone is going to have one powere

Effectively the M1 CPUs couple a Raspberry 2 with a Raspberry 4. Balancing what runs on what cores you can shut off the Raspberry 4 when you don't need it, which is most of the time as the GPU carries a heavy load. Try watching a MP4 m

Thx! So back to MinGW it is! I'm surprised this is so hard to find, why is there no official redistributable compiler for Windows?! What is Microsoft so afraid of? This is the only disadvantage Windows has compared to Linux! I guess yo

That sounds like a lot of work, I just want a zip with the compiler ready to extract into any project folder.

OSGI is bloated and pretentious, just use the classloader, it takes 300 lines of code and you have the best container in the world, see my Archive class: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/blob/master/src&#x

Compute shaders are trying to fit an elephant on a scooter. The reason Unity has poor animation performance with Mechanim is that they use compute shaders for skin mesh animation so they can apply shaders across assets but that forces them

What is System Software? Like an OS? I'm 99% settled on using Java on the server and C on the client for the rest of my life.

Since you should not be working in ways that create merge conflicts if you can avoid it I would say a simple distributed disk backup would be enough for 99% of programmers.

No, if you are ok with Java you can use the classloader instead, I have been using hot-deploy on all my live projects for a decade now: http://host.rupy.se I can even release a new version of my sites without the online users no

I disagree, if you stop chasing infinite progress it's very managable. As hardware peaks now it's the perfect occasion to settle on something older and make a stand there. They can deprecate it all they want they wont be able to r

Yes, but the UTF-8 logic, how complex is that? I don't even know what union does, but I can imagine you have many smaller chunks?

Shipping cl.exe is illegal, I tried looking at clang but it was alot bigger than 50MB, and it was unclear how to untangle it from installers and other dependencies: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65807034/clan

I tried looking at all other compilers, the only that fit my size constraints was tcc... that would mean dropping std::string and only use ASCII char*... not a big deal for my game because my .ttf fonts dont have anything else but for other

The only flaw Windows has is that you are not allowed to redistribute the cl.exe compiler. For my game engine it's a 35MB zip! https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/allow-redistri...

Ok, I didn't read all that but that is 100W of power. My solution to be able to work on a 5W Raspberry 4 is to use C (arrays for cache misses), compile with GCC to a .so and hot-deploy that into my engine. That way I have a zero depend

In the long term all audio/visual art is going to devalue in the face of programming because making things go has more value, and programming uses graphics and sounds to make them move, without programming textures, polygons and sound

I know, that is more proof tha Apple is heading in the wrong direction than anything else. They can deprecate all they want, they will never be able to remove it!

I made a similar 1v1 drop multiplayer game: http://fuse.rupy.se/cube.html It's more like a simple version of Puyo Puyo or Puzzle Fighter.

I think OpenGL (ES) 3 / OpenAL is probably the final APIs you have to worry about for eternity. Metal/Vulkan/DX12 adds nothing of gameplay value.

The definition of art is somewhat hard to find, but to me an artist excels in his/her field. The trick here is to see value, a painting or song has only consumption value, it produces nothing except feelings that in turn can materializ
