Devil Daggers is one of the few games I have time for. Mostly because I rarely survive more than 3 minutes and a world record run is on the order of 10 minutes. But, Steam says I have over 20 hours in the game. Video Review: https:&#x2

Agreed. Getting companies to voluntarily put themselves into this position would require some creativity. But, that's what everyone is talking about with "Keep your stuff as you move between metaverses!" How would that work

There's no way to force any action outside of the blockchain. If you want the blockchain to influence the outside world, that action must be financially motivated.

The only case where NFTs genuinely make sense is where multiple services want to cooperate and all voluntarily recognize a user's ownership of some token, but the user does not want any of those services to be in charge of controlling

Why do it all? Brian Eno had an answer for that: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/649039-whatever-you-now-fin... I’ve considered doing this —digging out PS1 homebrew tools and targeting libRetro. I even worked on PS1

Unfortunately, I don't see a "just a bit of magic here without learning much of anything new" interface coming because it's all about strategizing the movement of data. This is not unique to GPUs. It's a universal

A lot of blogs over the last decade took this advice too seriously and set up dark grey on light grey color schemes that are really hard to read. I can see using 08 for general text so that headers and other stand-out bits can be 00. And,

C9 here. I never see any ads. Might be because I dug through every menu looking for things to opt-out of. I can’t use the voice control because I opted out of that. But, otherwise the WebOS experience is great. Only complaint is that I ca

That's what I did when I took a couple years off. If you think of health insurance as disaster coverage, the "cheap" ACA coverage has a better worse case than the premo platinum offerings. Under https://www.cover

Technically, yes. And technically, the Internet Archive would be committing copyright infringement by archiving this page. Is anyone actually going to get sued over this, probably no. But, according to the laws of copyright, the context is

The original IBM PC could have been 5Mhz. But, it was set to 4.77Mhz instead because that way the NTSC out feature of the video card could piggyback it's signal generator off of the CPU clock rather than paying for an additional clock

Quite a while ago I wrote up a stream of consciousness impression of the development experience for PSX and later consoles. The PS2 section is probably most relevant to your question :) https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev

Having worked in highly cross-platform graphics for a very long time [1] I can say that you only get two options: 1) Separate code paths. 2) Least common denominator of the required target devices. For example: With the Pi 4 and OpenGL, yo

How are Vulkan and WebGPU vendor dependent?

It’s a spec for how GPU APIs can share data without necessary copying and converting through CPU memory. Mainly because the OpenGL specification explicitly does not define anything to do with windowing. But, EGL is not just and OpenGL - XWi

Both the PS3 and X360 CPUs featured no out of order execution, no speculative execution, no automatic prefetch, and a 500 cycle latency for hitting main mem outside of cache. The hardware design was based on 1) This is currently the only w

The story I have heard directly from insiders is that they had a GPU design from Toshiba. But, it was so deeply VLIW that writing an effective compiler for it was deemed infeasible and hand-coding for it would require deeply dedicated skil

At least as far as int32 vs float32 goes, surprisingly float is easier to make fast in the hardware. This is because floats are composed of multiple sections that can be processed in parallel whereas all of the bits of and integer addition,

Yeah. "header only" had really caught on because it is a catchy term that is simple to understand. But, what I really, really wish caught on would be "single cpp file" with the expectation that you are capable of adding

This is why I really, really like unique_ptr. You either explicitly take responsibility (and it implicitly gets handled) or you explicitly hand it off.
