I don't know, the name implies they target the RyuJIT, which is a state of the art JIT compiler. I feel in general games should perform really well on a JIT since they are predominantly performance sensitive in a tight loop. Dolphin al

Although I agree cutting oil and natural gas production will in the short term result in more pain and suffering in the world, in the long term the production of oil and natural gas will result in much more suffering as climate changes wrec

I think it is a cultural thing. At first the MBA's bring prosperity by increasing revenues, but eventually the revenues hit the limit, and after that the job of the MBA is not to grow the business, but to optimize the profits. Optimizi

I had excellent reading and listening comprehension by the age of 12, and could speak fairly fluently by 16. I don't think geopolitics had anything to do with that. The kids in my class that didn't watch foreign TV had significant

The Americans gave us Cartoon Network. If the Germans had better cartoons we probably would be speaking German a lot better. In my opinion there's actually great economic incentive to speak German fluently. For me personally I've

Alright, but if you can use that ethos to argue that e-mail, Bittorrent and IRC are the future I'm going to look at you funny.

Open protocols and decentralization are web1 not web3. It's how the web was originally envisioned. Web3 is specifically about replacing centralized authority with cryptographic authority. But whether that's actually useful enough

My company seriously considered buying a couple. There will be a market, especially if they perform well.

There's no big problem, science and technology are progressing at a great pace. The whole marketing of snake oil solutions is just a nuisance, they're not really affecting anything of value significantly. People are annoyed by Blo

They literally have a product for sale now. You make it sound like they're somehow worse at making locomotors than other companies are. Do you have any competitors in mind that achieved more with less practice?

Boston Dynamics is and always has been on a trajectory to build useful products based on technology that is promising. Whether they're going to be successful or not is dependent on financing and time and luck of technology. Blockchain

I think PCIe bandwidth has suddenly become super relevant. It used to be that videogames were not bottlenecked by PCIe bandwidth, and GPUs were the most data intensive thing on the bus. Nowadays there's all sorts of business cases that

Same, worse my vendor sent me an outdated motherboard that officially didn't support the Zen2 CPU and it randomly wouldn't boot, and then they sent me a patched BIOS so it would boot consistently. We needed that machine yesterday,

Yes it is, this is literally how credit works. You convince them you're credit worthy, they give you credit. If you don't like the particular information a credit company needs to trust you, then you try a different credit compan

The fact that there's still a lot of buildings still standing doesn't mean they were built perfect, it just means their construction has the possibility of lasting a 1000 years. For each of those buildings I bet there were 10 more

I feel everyone here is fighting symptoms instead of the underlying cause. When I find myself refreshing the replies on some HN comment, I'm usually tired and exhausted, perhaps tasked with some job I lack the energy or the discipline

Note that Amsterdam made a conscious flip on this, as did other Dutch cities. Take your 4 lane street, turn one lane in a tram lane, one lane into grass + trees, reduce the width on the other two lanes and add a bike lane with a heightened

Weird, I tried my friends' zipcode and it didn't work. Maybe I got it wrong or something.

Fun fact, you can't use a credit card to tank gas in the US. When you try, they'll ask for a zipcode, which you don't have since your card is not in the US. Luckily they do take debit cards so you can just use your debit card

Bundler has a nice subcommands for setting up a new gem. Setting up a test framework depends on which one you pick. The big switch from rails is that you get to decide where everything goes. I suggest looking at some recently created gems b

The asking price thing really messed with my mom's mind. She was trying to buy a home and everywhere she read she had to bid at least 25% over asking. And then she just added 25% to each listing and considered what was in her price ran

I don't fully understand your argument. Document DB's never fully got traction in the Rails community. Then Node.JS became popular because it did concurrent IO better, and it put document DB's front and center for no apparent

Now that they're back up they're not reporting any problems, how is it supposed to work? It looks like it is just repeating the status reported on the Amazon status page.

What's going on with this person? It looks like she really exists, her LinkedIn shows a solid network and the links seem to check out, and the Twitter account exists since 2009. But everything about her presence online seems fabricated

As awful as the cops relatively often are, I've never heard of one "accidentily" killing a bunch of kids because they were near a white pick-up truck. The wrong pick-up truck by the way, it didn't even have terrorists in
