Notch was well aware of the issues around allocating a lot of small objects in Java. He used to write 4k games with a byte code assembler. Implying technical knowledge of the platform was not the problem.

It is sooo depressing to show off a game you put your heart into only to hear “the graphics suck”. It turned me off from the hobby a long time ago.

That’s fine you do you and all. But I hope everyone is aware that normalizing this behavior is toxic af. This article did make me realize how chill my current boss and team are, I don’t give work a thought during off hours which is really n

This write up seems to only refer to on fpga ram which is fast, but very limited. In fact the author seems to completely ignore using any ram external to the fpga. Certainly fpga have capacity to interface with DDR ram of various types, and

I’ve often wondered if smallish internal combustion engines (with variable pitch propellers presumably) could increase range at the cost of some weight. Maybe someone familiar with the trade offs could comment?

This exactly, it’s unuseable and will only get worse. When “old” stops working it’ll be a sad, sad day. This blackout has made me realize how deeply I’ll miss reddit. The thing is, to me, reddit would never be a viable enterprise without th

This is correct, and one only needs to consider the impact of large or unlimited length urls on server memory consumption per request to see that a relatively small limit is desirable and even necessary.

Unintuitively, the principles nuclear reactors operate on are really very simple. Put enriched uranium rods close together and they get hot, hot enough to create steam and hence electricity. The complexity comes from designing and engineeri

I had an HP laptop provided by work that bent when picked up by the edge, such that four pads on the bottom no longer contacted and it had a tilt. I personally believe this should not happen, even if it costs an ounce.
