CG fundamentals was my favourite course in college. Going from drawing lines with the Bresenham algorithm to drawing polygons, filling polygons with Scanline, implementing ZBuffer, texture mapping and so on. Was a lot of fun even though I n

I use my iPad complementary to my Macbook. Reading documents and taking notes with the pencil mostly. Scribbling down thoughts and concepts that sync over Onenote to my other devices. I have no desire to use it as a Laptop replacement and a

> The cheapest desktop option is $6000 with an 8 core cpu or 8000 with a 16 core. No, it is $600 with an 8 core M1 chip, the new mac mini. Also the iMac is arguably a desktop option, even if not really upgradeable.

This is generally true however Intel still has and makes tons of cash, especially compared to AMD. It will take them some time to recover from this though, in this industry it can easily mean 5+ years.

It was the first game of its kind, the UI and the AI obviously had many weaknesses which Westwood improved upon in later games (while C&C still had issues that are annoying by todays standards). That being said, Dune2 for 10 year old me

Reading this I am very happy that my hometown state in Germany runs a state funded fiber project now. My mom had max 3Mbps for the last 18 years or so and will soon have 1Gbps for the same money.

I had a 6 instead of 6S and started getting stutter and slight lags in the UI after the latest ios update around 2018. It was getting annoyingly slow at that point but i was happy with a 7 Plus until i got a good deal for a X recently.

Let me provide an example. When we recreated a big Elasticsearch cluster, AWS ran out of available instance types in that AZ resulting in the cluster never going into a green state because a node was missing. This is not something you typic

I am not "foisting responsibility". There are fallbacks and fail safes in place to mitigate such issues but that's not my point. My point is that they sell us a dream of infinite scaling, all managed and no more problems, whi

After working for a company that spends millions of VC money on AWS per year I can also say that infinite cloud scaling is a myth. We had all kinds of downtimes due to AWS over the years.

Macbooks are actually used by Audio professionals, so it makes sense to keep it there for a while. A phone is a consumption device and 99% of customers are probably fine with using bluetooth or the adapter.

I've been using the adapter in my car for 2 years, twice a day, no problems so far. Lightning is far more resilient to this than USB-C ports in my Macbook for example, which have become pretty loose over the years of plugging in charge
