San Francisco tap water is almost as good. It was better before they started mixing reclaimed water into it, though I’ve either gotten used to the new taste or they’ve fixed the treatment process.

Where in New York? If NYC, this sounds insane to me, because New York municipal water is objectively speaking among the purest (if not the purest) in the country.

The documentation always refers to the current versions of the software, and the latest version of iWork always requires being on latest or near-latest OS. Collaboration also requires all clients to be on the latest version of the software.

There are many rights involved and I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that the venue pays ASCAP and BMI for performance rights, which covers the mechanical and songwriting royalties no matter how the DJ gets them. This new feature f

This is specifically about extending the Apple Music streaming license to cover DJ software. If you already own your own music (DRM-free digital or physical), you can already use those tracks with your DJ software.

Amazon needs to actually sell you things to make money. They have an entire supply chain built around it. Ads that never convert aren’t gonna pay for that.

“Secrets” is a broad term that covers everything from payroll information to the history of CIA clandestine operations. Only some kinds of these are stored in the cloud.

I would never buy furniture from Alibaba or Amazon. I’ve bought a couple pieces of basic furniture from Amazon, including a bed frame from a third party seller that was missing essential pieces for which I was given a 50% discount as com

Perhaps the problem is that you are either refining away the thorium, or refining away as much non-thorium as you can. Either way you end up with mostly-thorium, and we know that radioactive stuff gets angry in large groups.

Mayonnaise isn’t exactly an exotic ingredient. In fact, Kewpie mayonnaise is something of a Japanese cultural icon. You would expect to find it on or inside of sandwiches and other foods typically taken to go. Bananas are a fantastic on the

One advantage of contemporary bytecode implementations is that many optimizations can occur in the “middle end”—which is to say on the IR itself, before lowering to ISA.

The interior of food packaging is often soiled by the food it previously contained. I don’t want to transfer that soil to my pocket or my backpack.

The author of the linked article thinks you are simply wrong for considering this a burden.

Yep. That’s why the artifact includes the IR, which can be compiled on first use on new architectures.

I wouldn’t consider eating Japanese food or playing Japanese video games to constitute “interacting with Japan” at all. At best, you are interacting with its cultural exports.

Exactly this. They just burn pretty much everything. I have no idea what the carbon capture situation is like in Japan. But at least they use the waste heat to power municipal baths.

This is quite a reasonable policy and I wish it had been clearer to everyone earlier.

I appreciate the correction. Still, programmable T&L was kind of a big deal. PC GPUs didn’t get hardware T&L until the DX7 era, and it didn’t really become programmable until DX9/Shader Model 2.0.

The irony is that products in Japan come with so much garbage . Small items come packed in thick, crinkly plastic that doesn’t hold any form once it has been emptied of its product. Bento boxes are several times thicker than the packaging

The improvement is in the shadows. Link’s real-time shadow on the ground, the self-shadowing of the roof of the house that Luigi emerges from, the shadows the ropes cast on Kirby… the N64 could not do these things even at coarse resolution

It was, in fact, a problem. DX11 and earlier tried to solve it with DXBC, an intermediate bytecode format that all drivers could consume. The driver would only need to lower the bytecode to the GPU’s ISA, which is much faster than a full co
