Except when it doesn't. I'm facing this problem with an embedded-ish project I'm working on where Python initially seemed like a good choice, but now we're regretting it for both performance and power usage reasons. If w

Honestly Worm is probably one of the best superhero stories I've ever read. Wildbow made a really cool world with some crazy superpowers, and then managed to put an amazing story in it. Fair warning, it's ~1.75 million words. It t

The issue I have with your statement is that I don't see why we are special? What about our machinery makes us any more fit to be intelligent than a hunk of doped silicon? I mean, it all seems to come down to electrons flowing through

Relevant: I attended LambdaConf yesterday at CU Boulder, and there was a _great_ intro workshop for Idris, which is in the same domain as Coq. Idris is similar to Haskell (it's actually written in Haskell), but with a dependent type sy

The beginning and end of the allocated section of memory (the guard pages they refer to) are marked as PROT_NONE with mprotect, meaning that any access to them will cause a segfault. It's possible that a misbehaving process could jump

He's in the lucky position of being able to pick pretty much any project he wants to work on and be accepted. From what I know about him, the thing he really cares about is pushing the tech forward, and as long as Oculus VR can do that

Yep, exactly. There are a number of techniques that take advantage of this. Most notable are bump mapping and normal mapping.

I don't know what tech No Man's Sky is using, but Voxel Farm[0] does something very similar (it's being used in Everquest Next and StarForge among other things). However, instead of marching cubes it uses dual contouring whic

Nah. It seems to stop even the sleaziest sites (not that I would know... hah). Jokes aside, one of the major reasons for introducing click to play was to keep those drive-by Java exploits from happening. Not much point if the website can di

Precisely because of that I have "click to play" for all plugins in Chromium. I feel a million times better about it, and it's a very minor hassle.

Your second link is pretty amusing. His sense of humor never really seems to come across on video, but I was actually laughing at a few of those.
