Especially with the username. The reply felt like pure sarcasm.

Yeah Gitlab is a pig, but that’s what I meant with you can throw hardware at the problem. I’ve been meaning to check out Codeberg for personal project hosting since it seems to address the shortcomings of gitea

Gitea scales really badly with large repos in my experience. Gitlab works a lot better mostly because you can just throw more hardware at it. This is with a pretty large git repo and a lot of daily commits.

RenderDoc is mostly a frame debugger, although it does support stepping through shaders as well which can be super useful. But for real performance analysis I would use PIX if you target D3D12 or RGP and Nsight for Vulkan. I'm at a Vul

I think people generally think AI should be good at math because it runs on a very complex and very fast calculator to begin with.

Yes, planes are designed to be able to take off with a lost engine. Usually this will extend the roll a bit because the speeds are different for engine out operations. This isn't the first MD-11 with an engine out take off, 5 years ago

The damage on the ground is scary to look at. I think the only silver lining here is that it was "just" a sparser industrial area and there weren't any homes. I'm really curious about what the investigation will reveal i

That's not how any of this is sold though. Google did a lot of fundamental research quite publicly in this space for many years, and people were generally quite favourable of this and didn't ask to see insane revenue from it (yet)

The resources are there in crazy abundance. But we will never get to them, the scale of the universe is unfathomable. Even at the speed of causality, human lifespans are simply not a match to the distances involved. And that implies we can

And then that script gets processed on hundreds of GPUs in the cloud and the video gets streamed to the client. Wait.

It should also be noted that gliders have crazy aspect ratios. Airliner wings are designed for completely different flight envelopes than gliders, it’s all a game of what you optimize for and what trade offs you are willing and/or requ

But that’s not something actually actionable. This isn’t a plan, it’s pure hope that maybe potentially if we just put enough money and energy into this, it will just magically solve our problems. Call me a luddite but that’s a crazy amount

By what metric? In my opinion actually solving all of the problems we currently have and man we have a lot of them past the obvious ones like climate change, that would be our greatest achievement.

As someone who works in flight simulation I was also taken back hard by this. We are internally metric all the way, but even so the knot is not a weird unit in this space at all. I also never heard about those coordinate conventions.

If the experience is everything is blocked or everything is captcha hell, the latter still sounds like an improvement. I personally have no need for a VPN so I don’t know what the internet is like with one, but it does sound like without on

The “sweet solution” has long been debunked by the people who worked on the early iPhone OS software. The iPhone was always supposed to have apps, it just wasn’t ready yet. Heck, half the OS wasn’t ready either at launch or the MacWorld pre

If you watch the average person watch TV, they don’t actually pay attention to it. Everyone is just on their phone. It drives me crazy watching just about anything with people because I look around and no one even has their eyes on the TV.

I’m all for people being allowed to use computers to shoot themselves in the foot. It’s my biggest issue with the mobile eco-system. But yes, the underlying OS ought to be conservative and not pull things like that. If I as a user want to o

I'm pretty sure just like free speech, innocent until proven guilty is for the government/court, not a random person on the street. If you want to assume someone is guilty of something you are allowed to do so and you can sue too.

It does not. In fact, it crashes roughly every 4th or so startup.

Sure but in the meantime some of us have to actually keep shipping products and in that world I'd rather see Apple support their own thing that they are at least mildly interested in pushing forward.

I would rather Apple actively maintains Metal than halfheartedly support Vulkan the way they supported OpenGL. If you have a relatively good graphics abstraction layer in your engine already, implementing a Metal backend isn't super ha

Not just that, we actually ship Zink with our Vulkan based game because for absolutely insane reasons many years ago the decision was made to expose a GL context to plugins for graphics work. The hardest part was to provide a couple of requ

In my experience there is always more work to be done than there is time. That means people have to start prioritizing things, managers breathing down necks over specific things is a priority signal, just like meetings. Reading something do

Crazy because I remember that the first few iPhone OS versions had really bad autocorrect dictionaries, especially for German. The workaround for that was to make contacts for missing words because contact names never got marked as misspell

No worries, this pearl clutching is getting many books that we read in school banned as well.
