It's own RAM. The memory bandwidth of my GPU (616 GB/s) is about 23 times higher than that of my system memory (26.5 GB/s). And I have applications that utilize 90% of that GPU memory bandwidth.

I'll chime in with my experience in Austria: * If I have a cold, I go to a doctor without appointment and if I'm unlucky, I have to wait for 2 hours. Usually it's 30-60 minutes. * If I have a specific thing that requires a sp

Inkscape is that one Open Source app where the UI isn't utter nonsense. Could be better but it's alright. Great to see it reaching 1.0.

What's wrong with TypedArray? It provides kickass performance for things like graphics. Any replacement would have to be at least as fast.

It's an unnecessary extra hurdle. Unless it's the default, it's basically not existent.

There are a lot of languages where even if you don't know that language, you can figure out what's happening. I have no idea what your example is supposed to do.

Python doesn't properly do static typing. Strong typing alone gives you none of the benefits of dynamic typing and none of the benefits of static typing.

I tried gitlab but I hated the web interface. It was lacking in so many departments. Any other alternatives to github to try?

I find if preferable to switch all the time. Switch needs two indents and virtually always that extra break, which makes it more complex all around than a simple if.

Not sure why you're downvoted. Also noticed that everyone uses statistics because you're expected to, but hardly anyone knows how to do it right.

Tokyo did an amazing job at making it's city pedestrian friendly. Wish more big cities would follow its lead.

I switched to Firefox at home about two months ago due googles plans to restrict ad blockers. It's mostly okay but there are some things that bother me. Like some pages will never get auto completed. I can visit those pages as often as

Yes, that new algorithm disproportionally disadvantages AMD CPUs which are largely about multi-core performance. The new score weighting basically ignores the main advantages of the Ryzen series.

To a weighting that virtually ignores multi core performance entirely. Multi-Core weighting is now downgraded from 10% to 2%, single-core is at 40% and quad-core at 58%: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Faq/What-is-the-ef

Wrote "more perf" than "higher effective speed" due to title length limits. Also see discussion on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/chaofa/psa_userbe...

>> You can say it, but that won't make it true. They can do it, and they do do it. Your comment is so much nonsense. The algorithm computers use to add 0.1 and 0.2 is the same algorithm that you use, which is, unsurprisingly, why

Rearanged your js sample a bit, now it runs in ~26ms (first time) and ~11ms (subsequent times) instead of ~220ms in the chrome developer console. { let a = Math.pow(2, 1023) let t = performance.now(); let max =

> I once wrote a replacement for the + operator in javascript because computers can't do proper addition (0.1+0.2!=0.3). That's normal floating point math behaviour and fine in most use cases. You can't fix this for add, s

Because number is practically the same as double, and you can't just go and change double values to integer values. Also, doubles are fast. BigInts are not.

I wish there was a "do not touch unless you know what you're doing" field. Private fields and members are a nuisance if you need to do some unsupported thing with a library. On the other hand, there are often utility function

I like to use classes almost exclusively as a way to couple an object with methods directly related to it. Basically structs with methods. Useful enough for me.

Compute shaders are available on chrome on windows if you start chrome with some flags. Here are some compute shader demos: https://github.com/9ballsyndrome/WebGL_Compute_shader And here is a draft spec for WebGL2 Comp

I don't know the details but the WebGL backend will have severe limitations because it doesn't use compute shaders or CUDA. This means that certain functionality like random writes to arbitrary buffers can only be emulated through

Might seem dumb but the thing that drove me away from Mathematica are the stylesheets. Mathematica used to have a useful stylesheet that visibly separated input, output and text content. But at some point, I think version 8 or 9, they remov

Did you check your employers contribution? Because at my US job, I paid around 340$ to insurance but the employer matched it with another 340$ to insurance, so insurance was actually 680$/month. A ridiculously bad deal considering ther

Yeah, and cost of health insurance in Austria is just 7,65% of your income, and it covers your children. When I've worked in the US, I've paid just as much for health insurance and still had high out-of-pockets and deductibles on

What benefits don't we get with async/await?

And what exactly is the problem with that? "Thing thing = await loadThing(); ": Start loading thing, then await so the main thread can continue doing other stuff while thing is loaded. "Thing other = await thing.doSomething()
