Exactly: I've actually been somewhat alarmist early on about this virus, but I actually agree with the article. We've had to make some crazy sacrifices in the last 2 weeks, but now that we've done those, things are actually l

The idea was to use a lot of gouraud shaded polygons (i.e. polygons with a gradient that goes to black) and the color space was designed, with the blitter chip, to make those kinds of polygons fast.

As a former Jaguar developer, I'm getting PTSD just looking at the diagram with the four different CPUs, all on the same memory bus in constant contention, all with their own unique machine instruction set.

Great link! Yes, it really hurts me, as a science-based person, to have scientists with authority say things that are unscientific.

Oddly enough, I was on the "pandemic" bandwagon early enough that my period of anxiety and insomnia has now passed already. People get used to new states of affair pretty quickly.

Surely you have elderly friends and relatives, give each one one of your masks (once things are dire enough that people will actually learn to use masks properly and not waste it.)

by drcode 7y ago
Telling people they should wear masks because they don't put them on properly is like telling people they shouldn't drive cars because some people drive them into trees.

by drcode 7y ago
I will argue this is wrong: Only N95 or better masks have studies proving their effectiveness. I don't think we have good data on weaker masks or even "home made" masks- It's totally possible they are also effective, wit

However, we're also talking about older people who were healthy enough to travel on a cruise, a large number of people over 80 wouldn't do this.

Obviously something like this would only make sense under extreme circumstances, when you have to leave the house, but can't use a fresh mask every time, because of shortages.

We can argue about the exact definition of the word "supply", but the bottom line is that when the suppliers are no longer capable of providing goods to stores, it's kind of pedantic to say "it's not a supply disrup

by drcode 7y ago
Sounds like the people who thought there would be a supply disruption were right, and the people who didn't see it coming are blaming the people who did see it coming.

I never really understood why people want to know so much about an artist, and not just appreciate the art, in itself. If the artist has such a great story, I wish they (or someone else) would just write a book about them, and do without th

Feel free to use your own favorite definitions for words and call Brad Pitt whatever you want... he still spent a ton of time in the gym doing weight exercises, just like a bodybuilder does.
