Allowing all political ads isn't politically neutral either, the establishment will presumably have far greater resources (in this case, money to pay for ads). Then the only other option is to ban or suppress certain political parties

Great idea, but realistically someone will figure out how to use it for ad-tracking.

I'd imagine this was made mostly with developers in mind, but this looks like an incredibly useful tool for Gaming. Mapping ports to set up dedicated servers with friends can be a huge hassle! This would have been great when I used t

Of course we all know this, so you’re preaching to the choir. However I think it would be quite demoralizing to tell a young student who is struggling with logarithms (to follow your example) that “it’s so elementary that there must be a

Funny coincidence, I mentioned Potemkin Villages in a lecture discussing the Rasterization pipeline for a Computer Graphics class at CMU [1]. It is very interesting to look back at Potemkin Villages, as they can be seen to be a very primit

This is awesome. Good luck! The (tentative?) mission patch is absolutely hilarious [1], I never thought I'd want this to happen so much until now. I'll echo what someone said on Reddit, "No memes are beyond our reach"

I also prefer blender over maya for hard surface modeling (sculpting and animation still needs work IMO, and rigging has a better plugin ecosystem in Maya). Here’s my reasoning: 0) Blender is much more stable than Maya. Also it loads mo

Could you clarify? I am merely a student of that class and we didn't discuss TLBs in detail so I'm all ears for details.

It (in theory) should bypass any caches in between physical memory and the CPU. Of course this is compiler/arch/OS dependent so YMMV... The slide is admittedly a bit vague, the point is mostly to convey "lots of complicated

I didn't write the slides myself, but I think the implication is that the TLB is not consulted at all and the physical address is resolved again for every memory access. Of course, this is compiler / architecture / OS depen

Can you suggest a better strategy at policing data misuse by social media companies, other than regulating social media explicitly (as this post calls for)? I agree that Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook is unshakably biased and shouldn't

One of the most interesting parts of this column is that it is published in the Washington Post. You can't ignore the fact that this was likely run past Jeff Bezos, and Zuckerberg knows that. In almost all other circumstances, opinio

How else should they word it? MongoDB compatibility is the primary feature, of course they would highlight it in marketing.

To clarify, the point of Scotty3D is not to teach OpenGL -- the students do not write any OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, etc in the class. The OpenGL that is there is simply used to render the 3D models and the UI, so updating that code is prett
