I’m 35 and my sense of smell is terrible now compared to when I was a kid. I can vividly remember all sorts of smells from back then - how different rooms smelled differently, how opening a closet, cupboard, book, bag or whatever would floo

I find their privacy policy rather disturbing. Basically they initially say no data ever leaves the device but then they go on to say: 1) in case of a problem they gather detailed log data 2) They “may” store third party tracking cookies 3)

>> background-position and border-spacing (all 2-axis properties) should take vertical first, to match with the 4-direction properties like margin. I disagree. We are inherently used to 2D coordinate systems being X, then Y. I would

(Not a physicist and I can’t comprehend the paper). It seems to me they are trying to mostly explain how some galaxies can rotate the way they do (inside part spinning about as fast as the outside) which in their eyes only makes sense if so

It's a bit strange. I really wanted a MacBook with a touch bar as I find the idea of it really good. I realize that it had many design problems but I still think that it has merit. Would it make sense for Apple to keep the touch bar AB

Google has really turned "bad" over the last years. Whenever I search for anything I immediately get thrown a ton of shopping websites in my face as if my default mindset is "buy more crap". Google has more and more turn

I sometimes wonder if it would make sense for Apple to include a few FPGA cores in their upcoming M(X) chips (if that is even possible). With those they could do even more specialized accelerated tasks. On a wild imaginary train of thought;

Check your USB devices - they can wake up your PC. You can disable this on a per-device level in the device manager. Find the device, open it's properties and find the setting under the "Power management" tab. A windows PC ca

It is my understanding that the M1 chip has unified CPU/GPU memory which means that Metal as the underlying framework might be clever enough to not copy the data at all. Not sure it applies to his use-case though.

Why isn't it more widely used to "simply" use 64bit integers behind the scenes and then chose some (possibly user-defined?) precision? If you for example treat a 64-bit unsigned integer as a measure of length/distance in

I remember a time where Windows Media Player would sometimes do video playback by just drawing a very specific "close-to-black" RGB color in it's window and then let the hardware impose the decoded video on to that part of th

How come this update was based on Armageddon and not the newer versions? (IMHO Armageddon was the best in the series so I'm happy, just curious)

I bought the game when it was first released and I loved it. May I ask how come you are still working on the game? Out of sheer love for it? Did you work on the "original" codebase before becoming a maintainer?
