I think the purpose of this ratio is that a predictable low is better than an unpredictable high. It's sort of the same idea as padding out an ECD. Better to sometimes impress than sometimes disappoint.

I have no clue how the surveyors or surveyees interpreted this, but "100% accurate in all it teaches" does not necessarily mean Biblical Literalism. A Christian probably should believe that the Bible is 100% accurate, but Biblical

I'd argue that SSDs have done more harm than good. Since the worst-case is now far superior that it used to be (HDDs), most developers see no need to optimize any further. For example, plenty of video game engines will stream copious a

If you haven't already tried them out, I'd highly recommend the Rhye's and Fall of Civilization (RFC) genre of mods for Civilization IV. Civs spawn in their historical period (and location) and are given a set of historical g

Unfortunately, Victoria 3 is rather unfun due to a number of fundamental flaws. The trade system is even more tedious micro than HoI4's trade system. Plus, the simplifications to the economic simulation introduced (chiefly infinite sup

This zooming in effect is really similar to how THC affects me except it's in reverse i.e. zooming out . In addition to this, I am made a total observer who's entirely out of control and forced to watch myself thankfully act in

Linux font rendering has come a long way in the last couple years. With TrueType2 and Windows fonts taken from an installer ISO (and not the ancient corefonts package), you can actually get some overall mostly okay font rendering. Every now

The font rendering on that example of "the perfect button" is rather atrocious. It's kind of sad that Windows is (was?) the last bastion of serviceable font rendering.

As a reader, I found this more interesting as an IO benchmark of various SBCs. While it may not have been the first benchmark of its kind, I don't really seek out that information, so this was interesting to me at least.

Without compiler extensions galore, no C is not that powerful . Until C11, you couldn't even control alignment without hacky union workarounds that weren't great. You simply can't model exotic integer types in C like you can
