As an (extremely) amateur musician I've had hours of fun with free soundfonts like these and the open source LMMS[0], which was nice and familiar to me since I'd played with pirated copies of FruityLoops (now FL Studio) as a teena

There are several dangers with "early DAC". One is that fossil fuel proponents will use it as a specious way of saying climate change is "solved" so we can burn as much carbon as we want. Sort of a Jevons paradox[0] wher

I feel like that's the obvious solution at this point, but there's still so much waffling going on. And half the political parties on Earth still aren't even interested. If we could just get to work building like our lives de

Probably security, too: cookie data is security-critical, since you can use it for session hijacking, etc. The version doesn't leak anything about the cookie's contents so it can be directly accessed without any security checks. T

Your trust is not required. Like all the "features" Microsoft has forced on its users in the past, it will run on your (their) computer whether you trust them or not. Sure, a few nerds like me will ditch them for other OSes, but m

No, because depth values are in screen space (1/z), not world space (like 990-1000). Here are some graphs that make the benefits obvious: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/visualizing-depth-precisio...

If your site is only meant for human end users, you can get lists of datacenter IPs and use that to block them (assuming they are running in a datacenter that's on the list). That tends to block all sorts of abuse. If you are worried a

If the art is low-res enough that the "pixelness" is noticeable, you're throwing away so much detail from the vector drawing there's no point in making vector drawings in the first place. Complex or highly animated pixel
