Author here: I never bothered counting the total vertices used per frame because I couldn't figure out an easy way to do it in Renderdoc. However someone on Reddit measured the total vertex count with ReShade and it can apparently reac

The CP2077 comparison is not hyperbole - it is literally how badly this game performs (or at least performed on launch) on top-tier gaming hardware (namely RTX 4090). I linked a source with the quote.

InstaLOD is only used in the asset pipeline. I haven't seen any references to real-time use. Haven't found any evidence of real-time decimation either. To be clear there are LODs, but only for some of the meshes.

jQuery is not a framework by any definition of the word. It's a collection of largely unnecessary (in modern times) utility functions for imperative DOM manipulation.

Skyrim and Fallout 4 were made with about 100 people each. Witcher 3 had about 250 developers, and Cyberpunk 2077 closer to 500. Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 team has over 400 people, 10 times the developers they had for Divinity: Ori

This is a an unrealistic thing to expect or ask for. The new game uses a different art style, significantly alters the mechanics and uses the latest version of Unity, as opposed to Unity 5 from 2015. If they included every single DLC, they&

Little nitpick, but :not() is not a new feature by most definitions of new. It has been in browsers for over a decade (closer to 15 in browsers not related to IE), which is an eternity in the world of web technology.

Hyper is a relatively low level HTTP library, while Rocket is a web server framework. So Hyper doesn't concern itself with things like routing, authentication, state management, template rendering, static file hosting and so on, which

Ah, that's the interesting bit: the actual simulation was 100% local. Networking was actually only required for region play, and I don't think it even communicates in real-time; just occasionally syncs certain variables between ci

I don't understand what you are referring to - the TypeScript compiler has 0 (non-dev) dependencies: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/main/package.js... .

Is this something that actually happens (= can anyone prove this by disassembling the app or MITMing the network traffic), or is it just unfounded paranoia?

Technically speaking it is OK to pass two aliasing mut _pointers_ to a (safe) Rust function because safe Rust can't do anything dangerous with raw pointers; both dereferencing and writing through a raw pointer require unsafe. If we are

I don't know about ASP.NET, but the post says that Reflection.Emit is not available. Reflection.Emit is a namespace used for runtime code generation; I would assume most other parts of reflection are available, like with previous itera

On my Windows workstation with a Ryzen 5800X and an RTX 3080, it is a stuttery mess on Firefox. Dragging windows happens at maybe 10 FPS, and there's half a second of input latency on everything.

Audition isn't really a music-production DAW - in fact, it doesn't even support MIDI or VST generator plugins. It's mostly an audio recorder and editing software for movie dialogue, game audio, podcasts etc.
