I don’t know that you could really call the 1619 project leftist/progressive though. A good portion of the criticism came from Marxists, such as the series of articles and books that came from the World Socialist Web Site. https:&#x2F

The median salary of $50000 still seems a bit low to me considering how real estate must be pretty expensive in Manhattan. An okay-ish 1-bedroom apartment seems to be around at $2000 a month, which amounts to almost half of your salary (and

I don't think moving to a different area is something easy to do as a person generally. (May be necessary, but still a hard and painful decision.) Maybe the person, even with all the city's faults, still have some affection toward

Manjaro is currently what I'm settled on. It manages different kernel versions and graphics drivers really well, much better than Ubuntu. And the package manager is much easier to use (It's easy to create your own packages from PK

Also note that you can install the automatic tiling extension in other GNOME-based distros, you necessarily don't need PopOS to use it (though I had some weird bugs with it in Manjaro, it's probably going to be more unstable than

But you usually can't achieve vectorization by just simply changing your data layout, the compiler's auto-vectorization features usually doesn't work that well. SOA or AOSOA layout for vectorization only becomes important whe

I am actually willing to pay it if I can try a demo of it beforehand and confirm that it’s good (like I have paid for Sublime Merge). The problem is that I can’t try it without paying first. (And I’m also disappointed at the fact that a sof

I found that it was incredibly painstaking to build though, it's quite a barrier. I wanted to try it out a bit before buying, but it seemed to consume a considerable amount of disk space (>20GB), along with downloading tons of NPM d

Though it's incredibly painstaking to do a source build; at least in my Arch setup it needed about 20GB of disk space and a lot of time and patience (it needs the Ocaml compiler and also downloads a ton of NPM dependencies!!!), and the

Position based dynamics is far more than just Verlet integration though. The meat of the algorithm has to do with dealing with various constraints (which is done by sequentially projecting positions related to each constraint while adhering

Oh, you're right. I naively thought that the Julia code was written with static-size arrays. But still, wouldn't even StaticArrays.jl create some unnecessary allocations and copies when written in the naive (clean) way? (for examp

One of the gripes that I have with Julia is that if you write linear algebra code naively, you will have tons of unnecessary temporary allocations, while in Eigen (a C++ library) you can avoid most of these without sacrificing too much read

Code generation probably works the best here, although it makes the build system more complex. You would have the typeid mappings as an actually existing file that you can commit into your git repo. Or if your language supports metaprogramm

Wait, do you really think president Moon of S. Korea is ethno-nationalist of all things? You have no idea what you're talking about - he's just your run-of-the-mill liberal. You really need to be careful generalizing the whole Asi

Wow, that would be really great! Although there’s a lot of criticism about IMGUI not supporting accessibility (and as a result can’t replace platform-specific APIs or something like Qt), I’ve always thought this wasn’t the limitation of th

WASM won’t be performant enough for heavy matrix computations because it wouldn’t be able to use SIMD (in its current state). There’s a WASM SIMD proposal in the works but it’s only for 128-bit vectors and I’m not sure it will perform the s

The sanctions from the US are not arbitrary, it's for a very specific purpose: to force oil-exporting countries to sell their oil in US dollars only. Think about when Iraq decided to sell their oil in euros back in 2000, they got invad

The scope of the physics engine matters. Every indie dev who’s written a well-made 2D platformer has written their own physics code (you can’t just get the snappiness of platformers with plugging in a general-purpose physics engine.) You ca
