Yeah but that's the funny thing about pension money going into equities. They have "seen" the 78% increase but not realized it unless they cashed out their accounts and retired right then. Wall St / US pension funds tu

There's no easy answer or solution to the problem of 1.3 billion people. You certainly couldn't replicate the rise of the "free USA" anymore, sadly. (Those less than 100m "seed people" had a whole continent she

That would be incredibly shortsighted. Assuming it's not the case, it's still a reasonable move: they need to pay their national debts in American dollars. There's no need for countless dollar notes to be circulating througho

If that is true, what's the trade-off? There are no silver-bullets so if their approach didn't involve some potential "deal-breakers" Go team (or the ecosystem) would probably have offered a Go clone of it. Would be curi

The way he describes linking/including .c files is identical to how you can link-in/include assembly code via .s files. I don't see the latter going away (the standard `math` package uses this extensively), so why should the

True, both approaches are equally valid and being used. Every once in a while some gfx haxors also spend baffling amounts of effort on humorously "benchmarking" both approaches against each other.. ;)

Don't think raytracing will kill off rasterization for the crucial "first bounce" step anytime soon if we're talking about increasingly-detailed ever-content-richer realtime 60FPS game renderers. Usually as soon as RT ge

Raytracing is a very broad family of algorithms, path tracing is certainly "a raytracing algorithm".
