   How many NVidia-only features do you use? Nvidia today are just as evil as MS was 20 years ago, they just don't have the market share Microsoft did, so no one notices how unbearably evil and unnecessarily proprietary and exclusionary

   Ray tracing WILL DEFINITELY fully take over rasterization once hardware capable of doing it is commoditized. If for no other reason than the huge amount of effort it will save game developers and game engine developers. Not needing to perf

   Well if the new setting pointed at an empty room instead of an occupied room... No way to know now, I guess. I like to think he pointed it at an empty or non-existent room.

   I thought they did this years ago. I distinctly remember a big kerfuffle over it.

   When this article came out a few years ago, I reacted as you did. Whatever number of years of experience I've gained since then has taught me, with extreme clarity, that the author is correct about object oriented programming.

   A large number of Android developers would disagree with that statement.

    Really? I cut my OOP teeth in Java and IBM's WebSphere Application Developer tool, which was vanilla Eclipse with a bunch of WebSphere plugins that extended functionality here and there over the open source version. Eclipse always ju

    It's not that so much. People don't put effort into writing passionate threads like this solely for followers. They write passionate threads like this because they are passionate. Added followers are sometimes a side effect and ra

    The second embedded YouTube video is probably a reasonable explanation. The full tree is replaced with eight (maybe nine, actually?) billboards. N, S, E, W, NE, SE, SW, NW, and one looking down from above. That's nine. Ok, I have no

    Humans drive only with cameras. Vision provides all the information needed to drive a car safely. Maybe the software isn't there, yet, but it will be.

    It isn't extremely hard; lots of IC vendors make USB-PD chips that are fully compliant with USB-PD. And, they're not expensive. EEs are just cheap mother fuckers, often, and they think they can do it "well enough" themse

    > miles ahead of the commercial offerings In some ways, maybe. In all ways, or even "most", no. Definitely not. For a free engine it is impressive, no doubt, but it is not miles ahead of commercial offerings.

    What would it cost to re-make them at the same quality and quantity? $12M does not seem unreasonable at all.

    But that's just a single instance, and by definition not harassment. Unless my understanding of the word "multiple" (and "persistently" and "continually") is completely wrong...

    A single event can be illegal, immoral, wrong, or any one of a bunch of other words, and a single event is never harassment because harassment requires multiple events. A single demand for quid pro quo sexual favors in exchange for professi

    They were two feeds from two cameras on the same rocket. Since they are on the same rocket, you see them land on the same pad. The rockets have redundant cameras, and through a probable misconfiguration we saw two feeds from two cameras on
