My ears still feel that uncompressed is king for several of the test passages but Opus 1.2 was quite good. The problems with the compressed versions is hard to describe because I don't have the vocabulary but it was something that was

I'll take a look, but if I never get back to you I would like to share with you this one important concept that has caused most efforts to fail. Let me start with a quote from Brian Kernighan "Everyone knows that debugging is twic

Some studios had their own in house compression that was quite impressive at the time. I remember the amount of time our engine coders put into compression routines, it was a significant effort. That being said, I have no idea how it woul

can you really confirm that? I'd like to see your code.

It should be the iPhone 7 camera is not better than the S7 in every way because clearly the article shows how it is better particularly the telephoto option which seems like quite a desirable feature.

Not 6502 but the Zardoz 65816 compiler from back in the day (early nineties) had different memory models and one of the best allowed you to use the direct page register (essentially a moveable zero page) to access local variables in your fu

Could this training actually produce some harmful organisms or will they be out competed by their antibiotic susceptible counterparts.

Considering you now have another electron microscope, would you ever consider building another version of this?

just because it messed with your own personal namespace - you know that lepton is a particle and not a thermal camera right. Just because camera marketers got to you first. The real problem is polluting using useful words to market things i

On the other hand, the x86-64 is a lot nicer and you certainly don't have to go very far to find one to practice with.

Right that would be ridiculous! <thinks about it> no wait maybe you have something there... Some more Kitchen science might be a good thing.

'order of magnitude'? Are you implying the 6502 has the equivalent of only ~200 gates?

Ah GEOS. It has special meaning to me because I was working on Windows / Mouse GUI desktop system for the C64 when news broke. When I finally saw it I stopped working on my own system because it was so much further ahead. In retrospec

The West Coast Express isn't really designed with my hours in mind (or many devs?). I lived out east for a while and tried to use that train but it doesn't run after 6 pm and it doesn't go on weekends!

I really don't understand how you differentiate between a software developer and an executive this way. Plenty of devs have kids and are older than 25. Not all older people are execs. You also underestimate the current situation of th

Note that there are plenty of people who won't take a job in Seattle because they don't want to leave Vancouver for reasons of family, loyalty to country, fear of America. Yes, that last one is actually quite prominent amongst peo

Agreed, and one of the factors is tax which is lower in the US.

Agree, not sure why you were downvoted. EMP is photons. They were already considering the non visible spectrum when talking UV. There's a real prejudice and ignorance regarding visible light versus the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
