The article doesn't go into details whether these academics are full professors or e.g. postdocs. Twenty-five tenured professors would be a big deal because they tend to either bring their workgroups along or rebuild them at the new un

US corporate culture has a stronger sense of hierarchy than many other countries. It is an environment where one can get fired quickly and suddenly and that instills a lot of obedience and discipline (if not outright fear) in employees.

System-wide Vulkan layers definitely cause chaos. I remember unit tests for our renderer crashing on some machines and not on other nearly identical ones. The culprit was a Vulkan layer installed by a video capture software. It had a hard l

Footnotes effectively have no place in CS, engineering or natural sciences. Other disciplines treat footnotes very differently, I think.

Dead cose in a huge monorwpo is more costly than just build and test time. It's also noise when searching through code. One thing to realize is that deleting dead code from the tree doesn't destroy anything because it's stil

The business must go where the talent pool is if the talent can't be brought to the money. This H1B change is intended to remove a sizable portion of the talent pool from the US, so companies will have to follow (and spend US investor

KDE has been phenomenal since the days of KDE 3.5.x. I wish that I could use it more than I'm able to (limited selection of desktop environments at work etc.). The KDE 4.0 release has given the project an unfortunate lasting bad reputa

I am not saying that these languages will stay around forever, mind you. But we have solidified the tech stacks involving these languages by making them ridiculously complex. Replacement of a programming language in one of the core componen

On the ground? Well, you're welcome to count the number of overpasses you'd have to clear or circumvent somehow.

C++ will always stay relevant. Software has eaten the world. That transition is almost complete now. The languages that were around when it happened will stay deeply embedded in our fundamental tech stacks for another couple decades at leas

A few random notes: - Your model neglects the charging case with its own battery and microcontroller. - A Trsla is more likely to be recycled properly than the same amount of earbuds. Itbis also more recycleable because ofnthe high amount o

You have to realize that the number of locations in code where reference counter adjustment is actually meaningful is rather small and there are simple rules to keep the excess thrash from reference counting pointer wrappers to a minimum. T

Java went down that road with the applet sandboxing. They thought that this would go well because the JVM can be a perfect gatekeeper on the code that gets to run and can see and stop all calls to forbidden methods. It didn't go well.

Cars show higher speeds especially when the model has an option for larger tire diameters, but is equipped with smaller ones. There typically isn't a setting for tire diameter, so they compute speed using the larger diameter in all cas

It's not so much the upload time/bandwidth, but some of the lossy compression algos are really slow.

This advice is only practical if you have proper import tooling that can transparently do this conversion for your engine and preserves import settings per asset. Otherwise, this just adds a ton of fragile manual steps to asset creation.

Is this true for text? Glyph rendering is complicated and I have a hard time imagining a high quality GPU renderer that can beat a CPU renderer due to this.

But the name Carmack carries some clout and people listen to him (too) closely because of his reputation alone. This is soft power that automatically comes with responsibility.

Depends on what electricity costs in your place. It can be anywhere from 10 ct/kWh to 45 ct/kWh and that makes a huge difference at the end of the month.
