I have looked it up in the past, and I have looked it up now, but I cannot find a reliable documentation that describes it. For example, do you know what combination of flags listed here https://documentation.help/SDL/s

Not sure. Computers where pretty homogenous back then as well. Every time I find myself infront of a computer, I would do "cd games", and there would be games... I think it started becoming less interesting as it grew more powerfu

I think it works like that if acceleration is no enabled. But even then I think it does not work reliably..I might be missing something though.

One thing that was nice about the graphics programming those days was that when you drew something on the screen, it remained there until your program erased it. This means that you could create cool looking graphics easily. For example, yo

The only keyboard customisation that I want is to include a trackpoint (or any poiting device) in my TKL keyboard. Such a common sense requirement for devs, but literally zero solutions that are actualy affordable.

As computers grew more powerful, they became less interesting. There is a lesson in there somewhere that humanity has not yet woken up to.

I think it makes sense to stay away from large code bases built using LLMs until it is proven that it is possible to also maintain such code bases using LLMs or using reasonable human effort.

Can you tell me if this 80% reduction is comparing waymo with human taxi drivers?

Reaction speed does not matter if the driver can anticipate things before they happen. Actually I think what makes a good driver is ones ability to anticipate. I don't think computers are anywhere near a human in that regard. >visua

Not really. You cannot ask why consciousness exist. That would be like asking why a circle exist. To elaborate if we consider that our reality is computable from a set of physical laws and a set of random events, then it implies that the co
