You’d never do a DFT for generating a fBM, but the same technique using a different noise spectrum is how we’ve been generating ocean waves in the VFX industry since forever: https://people.cs.clemson.edu/~jtessen/repor

Graphics uses a lot of Monte-Carlo integration, for which you need (pseudo) random numbers. You want your random numbers to be fast to generate, and have completely uniform so as not to introduce bias in the result.

Yes it’s a shame. I really like emacs but the lagginess is just too jarring while working.

It makes LSPs usable for me on my desktop 5950x. Still a bit laggy on my laptop.

Because you just don’t use the types in the alloc crate, or you use the (only partially implemented) APIs that return a Result<> instead of panicking on allocation failure. For that kind of low-level work I’d probably do the former an

I’ve been using wikipedia for years and never knew about this. I wish there was a prominent link on the page “Switch to simplified explanation” or something. As someone who knows barely enough maths to get by this would have helped me immen

How do virtual particles play into the Casimir effect?

I get the same with emacs (gccemacs nativecomp) but it works just fine in vim and vscode.

To add to the other advice - bring a change of underwear in your carryon to change into before arrival. Makes a huge difference to how you feel the rest of the day when you arrive.

No the dynamic range and wider color gamut is. Your argument is that 10-bit sRGB doesn’t give you anything over 8-bit sRGB, which I don’t agree with but it’s reasonable. But that’s not what HDR is. 8bpc is definitely not enough to represent

“If you calibrate the HDR screen to be as dim as the LDR screen they’ll look the same” isn’t a great argument.

For low-dynamic range maybe, but for HDR 8-bit is definitely not enough.

What domain is that?

Yes those practices definitely accelerate the process but they are not the root cause.

Pressing charges only happens after the fact. We need to find some way to avoid huge numbers of people becoming radicalised in the first place.

This is such a stupid take. Social media isn’t the problem: people are. The internet was supposed to bring us all together as one global community based on our shared interests. Instead it’s created ghettoes and echo chambers where people o

Just add the graphics-drivers ppa in Ubuntu and nvidia drivers install fine with an apt-get.
