I just use the zoom feature. Although most of the time the target is large enough anyways.

The difference is probably you used floats and he/she used fixed point (integers). Of course that way you do run out of precision very quickly. Software emulated floats on Amiga 2000 were really, really slow.

I'll agree once Waymo can operate in any weather. Including snowy, meaning the road surface is completely covered by snow and ice plus heavy snowing.

Samsung should get the memory card slot back. Heck, I still miss easily replaceable battery from Galaxy S5! In general, I hate how Galaxy S series is just becoming more and more like an iPhone. (Well, other than reasonably long firmware upd

Fun times with buggy kernel drivers. Pass something with a 0 length, pointing to NULL. Enjoy your blue screens and kernel panics.

I'd love to buy a hand mixer that doesn't have plastic gearing, which is approximately 100% of the market. Those just keep breaking. I'd buy one with durable metal parts even if it costs 2-3x normal price level.

I've tried the same method and it's about 10 Gbps, not 10 GBps.

You need more like 50 Gbps to saturate a modern Nvme SSD. 10 Gbps doesn't come close.

Weirdly and notably BE200 is not compatible at all with AMD platforms. The system might not even POST, so the issue is not about driver support.

Looks like LuaJIT is still going to be faster, because Deegen requires runtime code generation, thus executable + writable pages, which iOS platform does not allow.

Wrote a truetype rasterizer about 20 years ago. I took the easy way out and just simply antialised everything, didn't even try to support TrueType hinting programs. Sure, things looked blurry, but it didn't matter much when everyt

What would be the cheapest and lowest power option to get 100G networking (50-100G actual performance is good enough) and at least one 8 lane PCI-e GPU? Plus at least 2x M.2.

Indeed. ECC is non-negotiable, even for "consumer"-grade servers. Heck, also for workstations. Less/no mystery software malfunctions.

Humanity might one day spread to all over the galaxy by hitchhiking passing stars. Well, assuming we don't self-annihilate ourselves at some point. Or be destroyed by some cataclysm. I guess we'd better spread to as many locations
