Reading was a hobby most people chose not to engage in that much. If you read books/novels etc for 6 hours per day, people would remark on that like "he reads a lot", often asking you to put down your books to join them in wh

They're fast, but they'll never even remotely reach what a mid-range desktop PC with dedicated graphics burning 500W is able to do. A 300W GPU released in 2025 is about 10x M5 perf. The difference is going to be smaller for CPU pe

Invoking both Nazism and Fascism over something like this has to rank among the dumbest rhetorical fumbles of all time, besides being a contemptible way to engage in debate. Which is sad, because it is followed by some points that are genui

Light sources in video games and such. If you have a light source with a very large falloff range illuminating a large area, you'll have noticable steps in the gradient. Ordered dithering is a very cheap solution to this.

Berlin perspective: It really doesn't feel that way. Germany's official political stance is very much "pro-Israel" and somewhat intentionally deaf and blind towards what is happening in Palestine (though not completely).
