   Vulkan 1.0 expects you to configure render passes ahead of time because that’s the best way to get optimal performance on all hw. This especially matters for tiling architectures on mobile. It’s supposed to be a low-level API after all. The

   >the main difference is the private one can sneak in magic backdoor instructions, lost in the vastness of a 2^bit_depth space There's nothing keeping an implementation of a public ISA from adding backdoors.

   That's what desks are for.. Seriously though, how much do you move with your development computer? I can't imagine being productive without at least two large screens and a fullsize keyboard and trackball anyways..

    Historically orcas usually didn't mess with boats or even assisted whalers in hunts. I wonder if this was a cultural memory of the orcas about sailors (whalers at least) retaliating quite fiercely in the few instances they were being m

    This feels intuitive to me. At least for programming languages I know well "reading" code is more like looking at it from a structural point of view. Like reviewing a diagram or flowchart. I don't usually read code from front

    The article didn't mention Villa Jovis. Augustus also established various buildings there. For instance Villa/Palazzo a Mare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_a_Mare https://www.italytravelle

    I wonder how that would affect the calories of the alcohol. Apparently the ethanol gets broken down into acetic acid, which I believe can't be digested further? Does that mean you also wouldn't gain weight when drinking dry beer o

    I have to say the constant nitpicking and derailing over spelling/grammar mistakes in German forums is something I don't miss at all.

    I have a set of French Vereco (now Duralex I believe) dishes and bowls[1] from the 60s or 70s which I'm the third generation in my family to use and own. The tempered glass is almost indestructible as well. I can only remember one time

    You can get German versions for most Swiss and German watches I believe. For instance: https://thewatchguy.de/watch/18039-day-date-the-german-tropi... It's a matter of replacing a dial: https://jmpwatch

    How else is GPU-support for a programming language to be understood other than that you can write GPU shaders/kernels in it?

    That feels very limiting. It's one thing to have a program run only on one core, but you're supposed to have your entire dev environment, including editor and debugger inside the VM. Won't that end up with the env freezing on

    So the entire dev environment and any programs you have running in it only uses a single thread?

    Really cool project I love seeing HW projects like this in the open. But I'd argue that this is a SIMD coprocessor. For something to be a GPU it should at least have some sort of display output. I know the terminology has gotten quite

    What's the value to society of having large companies get larger? IBM is clearly running on fumes by now. Extending its life by pulling down more small companies with them only makes things worse for everyone.
