This is awesome! As an enthusiast of 3D graphics, I appreciate how clean and easy to read the source is. We have very few examples of how the graphics pipeline works in code, tinyrenderer [1] by ssloy being one of the most famous and easy t

I think in this case we could argue that Activision Blizzard is an American company and it is obliged to follow U.S. trade laws, but not Chinese laws. A trade embargo is also something that multiple countries agree and abide to, so it can&#

If I am not wrong, the situation in Iran/Syria was due to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government, not by censorship demanded by those countries. See the recent situation with Adobe and Venezuela for something similar going on.

It's not about what we think, but what people in the receiving end of his advances thought at the time that was happening. Stallman IS a powerful figure in the Free Software movement. The mere fact the people are making blog posts or c

Great write-up! It's very interesting to see how one actually goes around making a game in such short time. I have been doing computer graphics stuff as a hobby for some years, and I know your pain when it comes to OpenGL shenanigans.

The thing is, people told him about his behavior for years, and he never changed his ways. When conferences added that speakers were not supposed to flirt or give sexually suggestive comments to attendants, he circumvented that by asking wo

To be honest, Cormen et Al. is an actual introductory book. While it is humongous, it covers all of the basic math, logic and algorithms you see in the first 2 or 3 years of an computer science undergraduate course. It is an introduction in

And yet, until Tesla came about we didn't have that many electric cars running around, nor did we have many companies investing heavily to change the status quo of gas cars. The same goes to reusable rockets. As many other people said

That is not really his point. He means that he can go almost to any other country and be covered, but if he goes to the US, which is one of the richest and most medically advanced countries in the world, he won't.

If it comes down to Chrome or Safari, I will gladly use Chrome. Safari is far too wonky for me, and whenever I tried using it, I always had bad experiences. Google might be evil-ish, but I find their ecosystem far more pleasant than Apple&#

Don't know why you are being downvoted, but at my gym I go through the same situation. Whenever I go into the change room/washroom, I go to the locker furthest from the dryer, meters away from it. It doesn't really matter sin

Will these changes affect the pure Chromium? I really don't want to move to Firefox, all my settings, auto-fills and stuff is in Chrome, and Chromium seems like a better alternative if it still supports ad-blocking. I know that Firefox

Keep in mind that they will only take a payment processing fee, unlike other services that charge a cut from the payment in order to pay for their services, or at least that is what it says for now.

I don't think open sourcing the entire OS is possible due to reasons raised by other posts, but maybe they could open source the kernel. This is the central part of Windows and what is actually important. Maybe they could even open sou

It's not so simple as that. Atheists don't demand people to give up faith, but we try raise critical thinking in people so that their actions are guided by fact and evidence instead of blind adoration and faith. Teaching kids to b

From your other post, you might have been a bit tired due to sleep deprivation, so don't be too hard on yourself for not getting it ;) As for the expression, you just have to expand it: y+dy = (x+dx)^-2 = 1 / (x+dx)^2

Yes, and it shouldn't be up to an employer to set that limit, but to regulatory bodies. Having people spend 12-14h a day working is not good in the long term, and expecting people to do that otherwise they will be fired is draconic.

Wow, I am really happy to hear that! I have been following Voxel Quest for a few years now, and I was really sad when you stopped working on the project. Looking forward to see what are your new developments!
