Ah, you're right: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/blob/main/profiles.a... That's good to see. (Boy, it's really hard to find info about RISC-V profiles on Google. It just seems to

Hopefully B becomes ubiquitous in the next generation of SoC's, or RISC-V is going to look bad in any benchmarks that happen to have a popcnt in the hot path.

A server owner that filters spam/abuse for you is a great feature, actually -- as long as there are other servers you can feasibly switch to if you don't agree with their definition of "spam".

The Apollo program was insane for the 1960's. It was announced by JFK just one year after NASA's first successful manned space rocket. Engineering was still primarily done with pencils and slide-rules, the US had only just ach

The article gets the numbers right but the human part absolutely wrong. I'd love it if humans were the kind of creatures that could make big advances by taking them one small boring step at a time with no unachievably ambitious end goa

http://iplists.firehol.org/ looks free and very comprehensive. It has whole bunch of sub-lists of IPs that are likely to be sources of abuse, including datacenters and VPNs, and it gets updated frequently. Github: https:&#

These are people who connected to a random open wifi network. Tor exit nodes were probably the least of their worries.

I use MSYS2 on Windows in order to run regular rsync and other such utilities. It's served me very well for years. I also have some bash scripts that I can conveniently run on either Linux or Windows via MSYS2.

The author acknowledges that he gave implicit permission to Notch/Mojang, and goes so far as to mention that the permission only extended to the original PC version of the game (which is all that existed at the time).

And that's the pinnacle of what anyone would want out of life?

I'd like to believe the contrary. It is in the nature of an artist to create needless complication. That is art, that is culture, that is human life. Without it, we just consume starches and protein until we are full, grunt directions

Also, HTTP tends to use gzip in-flight, and modern office document file formats also use compression, making any potential space savings for UTF-16 CJK text completely negligible in these common cases. UTF-8 and UTF-16 are basically the sam

Google can use their immense scale and resources to buy up GPUs so other companies can't. Apple buys up all of TSMC's cutting-edge production capacity for its own chips, preventing competition. The market has become centralized an

The docs.wasmer.io page could use some work (it looks nice, though!) For instance, under the C/C++ section, the MinGW link at the bottom leads to a hijacked domain, and the "Wasmer C API" link in the sidebar leads to a 404.

I think there's a typo where the Add() example code goes `lhs.As<tDouble>() && rhs.As<tDouble>()`. I'm assuming that should be a `+`?

The tree is built once. The tree can be traversed from any point in the world because each node stores which plane it used to split, and it is easy to compute which side of the plane you are viewing. Have you tried reading https:/&#x2

It doesn't split by axis, it splits by planes that can be oriented however. Planes split a space into 2 half-spaces, hence the "binary" part. Only the older Wolfenstein-style rendering cared about the axis.

Even for modern games that don't care about depth ordering, they still tend to render first-person weapons or third-person characters first, and the sky last, just because it's an easy way to skip a bunch of overdraw, so why not?
