I have another question about this. Can I also use the GPU that is passed-through to the guest from the host, once the guest is shut down? For example, say I build a linux host with IGP + powerful discrete GPU. Can I use KVM to pass the dis

I think it’s fair to assume most people are mostly interested in statistics that give an indication of the likelihood of dying from a Covid-19 infection, which means you would have to look at the infection mortality rate and not the CFR. So

>> Their mortality numbers looked to be about 0.6% early on, but eventually hit 2% a month after the peak with people spending weeks in critical condition. I see this repeated often but this is a misrepresentation of the statistics.

It's funny because I did exactly that (sticking to one project instead of jumping from idea to idea) because I had the same problem as the OP, but these days I'm getting the feeling this is also counterproductive. I spent a lot of

Yes it’s funny how fast people forget how much power is actually required to run all that basic stuff included in mobile OSes by default. Take the camera app on iOS e.g, it stitches 20+ MP panoramas in real-time, with filers enabled, does c

I don’t think comparing Geekbench scores directly between completely different processor architectures tells you that much about real world application performance. It’s a synthetic benchmark that may be affected disproportionally by factor

With shared pointers it is very hard to reason at which point things get deleted, from just looking at the code. This can become particularly messy when you communicate them freely across API boundaries, because that allows callers to just

by w0utert 7y ago
This is not untrue, but the counterpoint would be that the intersection of a) the number of situations where the shared pointer copy would have any measurable influence on performance, and b) using shared pointers is a good idea for that pa

On top of what other people wrote, I think a common misconception is that raytracing is only useful to determine the final shaded color of a pixel on the screen. In its current form, things like RTX are still way too slow to do this at any

If there's anything to learn from reports like this, it would be that people should be allowed to live on more flexible schedules. Not just around DST changes, but in general. The obsession modern society has with clocks, schedules and

One thing that has crossed my mind a few times when dealing with bounding box tests (for non-interactive purposes by the way, but that's besides the point) is whether it would be worth using oriented bounding boxes instead of axis-alig

I don’t understand this comment. There is nothing magic there, the @ is just syntax for using property wrappers, which you can write and document yourself, they are a language feature. The argument parser is just a swift library that uses t

Very interesting, thanks for the writeup! Sony did manage to ship a PS2 emulator that ran on the second-generation PS3 though (1st generation PS3 had actual PS2 hardware inside, but the second generation was software-only emulation if I rec

That pretty much sums up my experience. Let's hope it was all worth it and Catalina is indeed a transitional release that serves no other purpose than laying some under-the-hood groundwork for the next release. I wouldn't say &quo

It's not uncommon in game development to do 'unity builds', by basically including all code to get a single compilation unit. It can reduce build times and the compiler has more options for optimizations (inlining, mostly). T

For things that run on my home server I like to at least have the impression I know what I'm installing and how it is configured, so a magic script like you referred to is not really an option. I used this guide to configure OpenVPN [1

Ah ok, I didn't actually read the article (or all of your comment, apparently ;-). I just assumed it would explain at least that much. What's the point of a VPN server that isn't reachable from the internet?

by w0utert 7y ago
It works like a charm indeed, I run the WireGuard client on all my devices (laptop, phone, tablet) in on-demand activation mode (VPN activates whenever I leave my home WiFi), and configured them them to use the PiHole server as DNS, so I ha

Any JIT needs an interpreter to run code sections that are not compiled (yet), and large sections (I don't have any statistics, but I would guess a very sizable majority) of the code is 'cold' and will never get compiled at a
