Calling Bethesda games "simulation" is a bizarre exaggeration. You mean the games where NPCs will let you rob them if only you place a bucket on their heads? That's a no from me. I don't think any games I've ever pl

This is what it means to let another country own your social media. Their ideas and memes unconsciously get preferential treatment. This is maybe not a good thing, but it is what it is.

It is, though. The EU has a unified single market for goods, but not for services. And since most software tries to provide a service, or integrate with businesses that do, EU software companies often struggle to expand to other member stat

Tangential, but I'm intrigued to see Chisel having such success. Can anyone in the know comment on how it's doing and what impact it has in the hardware industry?

> The faster the plane goes, the more fuel it consumes due to the drag increase by the square of the speed This is not actually true. Drag is at max at around mach 1. After that it goes down again. If you go fast enough you can be very e

Drag also works differently at supersonic speeds.

IMO mathy homework should always come with the correct end result to the questions. It allows the student to get instant feedback on whether they’re right or wrong. They’ll still have to work out the derivation of the answer.

Intel and AMD are so good at running AMD64 code that it's often slower to use additional instructions.

New submission: The Ottomans invented the doner kebab, yet its fast-food variant served as a sandwich with sauce and extensive salad was invented by an ethnic Turk in Berlin. Berlin has, for historical reasons, a lot of ethnic Vietnamese in

> Every CPU manufacturing company have a compile team Sure, but that doesn't help when all the binaries are compiled for AMD64 anyway.

This will never work due to incentive structure, unless the compiler devs are working for the same company that makes the CPU. Otherwise, compiler devs will target a lowest common denominator and call it a day. And even if the compiler devs

More time in design and planning? That phase can already often take a decade. I realize most of that is probably political horsetrading around which backyard is going to be torn up and which budget the money will come from, but long plannin

Sadly I have to agree that China is definitely the reason we see so much activity in the RISC-V space. That said I hope an open ISA will lead to harder competition and better processors than we see with closed ones. But it's obviously

My problem with alternative shells (anything not bash) is that I have to learn bash anyway, and if I want to use a scripting language that requires me to first install a runtime, drop into it, doesn't work on colleagues machines, etc.

Doesn't have a ToC sidebar, which I consider pretty much the absolute minimum of GUI necessary. You can use a keyboard-driven menu by pressing tab, but in my experience it just takes you to the last page of the pdf. Maybe there's

Mupdf is the key. Sadly there's no user-friendly mupdf wrapper like Sumatra on Linux.

Bevy had 83 contributors last one month according to github. I wish they had more (more is more), but I think they’ll be fine.

It’s not bad, but it explains the logic.

I have to ask: Why not contribute to Bevy instead? Edit: Ah... I see it's a SaaS startup that wants to offer the servers as a service for game developers. Building on someone else's engine would make the hosting brand weaker.

There's this small one called Farmville. Though granted I don't know if it's still printing cash the way it used to. It's possible smartphones killed that sort of game.

My bet is that the name is due to internal empire building or hype to shareholders. Being in charge of "MB.OS" sounds better than "another attempt at a good infotainment system". Add in trendy "digital" offices

Probably that groups discriminated against often discriminate internally. Recurse a couple times. Rarely is someone only discriminating or discriminated against. Most people are both.

EVs predate ICEs. ICEs were really hard to make into something reliable and pleasant to use.

It’s absolutely wild to me that AMD and Intel doesn’t collaborate to port PyTorch and Tensorflow to OpenCL/Vulkan. I just don’t get it. Seems like the obvious thing to do.

Yes, but as with acid rain, rain can contain some non-waterthings, I think.

Meta Quest 2 has 6GB of DDR4 RAM. It has a 64bit CPU. I'd say it has more in common with a server than with an embedded device.
