Are you sure of that? I believe humans have evolved to accept certain damage as natural and it just repairs itself. When I expose myself to moderate amounts of light, my body reacts making my skin darker, which protects my skin against ligh

I had the opposite experience. I have been using LED lighting for 20 years now. Are you sure your brands are original? Be careful if you buy in places like Amazon, at prices too good to be true, because they will be Chinese clones.

It comes from 3D gaming and hardware acceleration. In 3D you use hardware acceleration that is 100-200 times more energy efficient than drawing in the CPU. But you loose flexibility. It is actually way cheaper to actually clear the screen a

Following the same logic that you use... have you calculated how much memory do you need to store the memory of a single treeview, or a single scrolling document of just several pages? Two floats? You are using a memory that is a CPU memory

If you have to create a big texture for the GPU, this is the definition of slow. One of the big advantages of drawing for every frame is that you only need to draw what is visible. And do it in real time, with no perceived lag. For a text e

As a programmer my experience is that I get "depressed" if I do not get out and exercise every single day. I get angry at other people or at things like clients or taxes or whatever. I start getting lazy at stuff to do. Just getti

The main points of Apple changing to ARM is: 1. They don't need to pay licenses per core, so they can put 48, 96 cores in a single machine. 2. Is ARM as powerful as Intel, of course not, but who cares? ARM is more efficient so just add

Europe needs competition on the rail networks, just like air traffic. This will happen over time. In places like Spain it will start this year or next one. In Spain and other European countries, there was a State monopoly on rail. Extremely

I do not believe in blind fate, but common sense. You can extrapolate the future following the trends just like Jules Verne did. Take for example smartphones and tablets. After the "one computer in every desktop" was accomplished,

It took multiple people to conceive OOP. Alan kay was the dreamer, the academic that conceived it. But it took other people to materialize it into something practical. Those people had different skills than Alan Kay, and they used languages
