1: Mouse polling rate needs to be higher than rendering rate and and NOT the other way around. The higher the better because it guarantees that there is less of a delay between the latest sample from the mouse and the time the mouse cursor

Yes, you could always do creative stuff with limited resources. My point was rather that while it's possible to crank out cool stuff even on PS3 Cell's (and the lessons learned from that era has been useful afterwards), the mere a

Yes and no, "data oriented" designs do make sense for full GPU compute utilization by not becoming bottlenecked by memory speeds, but the main problem with the PS2 VU and later improved PS3 Cell design (it's a straight evolut

Rule of 3 is often correct, first time just do it, second consider if it'll very likely happen a third time and when the third time happens it's darn well time to do it! HOWEVER, this only works if you have the agency at an organi

To be fair to BE focused folks the Web exploded from being a bad document environment you did ugly hacks and cargo-culting on to make something interesting, to an actual platform at quite a high speed. And additionally to this during the ti

Ah you're correct, I just quickly entered Gandi's email page and saw the 0.35 eur a month price (linked to current "old" service) but didn't go through the linked price-list. That does suck, it's not really a h

There is good and bad OOP, but I think a frequent problem that occurs in _older_ OOP is that when people try to abstract things you end up with functionality in base-classes that can possibly be overriden in subclasses but it might be compl

Existing customers will retain the free service for renewals done for the next month until they shut it down, and even then the cost of the new email service is a fraction of what you pay for Microsofts or Google custom domain emails. I hav

Right, the point is that it isn't the same kind of games that you play on mobile that interests people on a "computer". Continuing from that the mere _existence_ of this _porting toolkit_ is an indication that they do feel th

As for AMD v Nvidia, imho it's more often a matter of AMD drivers being buggy even if their hardware seems to be almost on par in terms of performance, also right now NVidia has ridden high on both blockchain and now AI trends thanks t

Yeah, you can get away with minimal C# stuff if you want. Mind you minimal API's is a relatively new thing as of NetCore 6 so GP might not have had the chance to touch these new things yet. Much of the older overdesigned pain of C# is

The conversion ratio is quite bad, however if you MUST burn something (like in Steelmaking mentioned in the sibling comment) then it starts to make more sense but iirc it's still calculated to be slightly more expensive steel compared

Redux shines when you have an actual "app" with a large dynamic "global" client-bound state that pops up in different places and needs undo/redo (Like a video editor, Blender,etc). And even then you preferably need

Even if you have path tracing, the "primary" rendering (ie seen triangles) will almost surely use classic rasterization because it's simply so much faster still w/o any real downsides. Secondary rays (GI, non-planaer ref

There has been multiple C compilers targetting the JVM, however they've all also had bad performance penalties since the JVM has no notion of references and pointers so it becomes "emulated", best case you write one that work

No, = or == is purely a lexer decision easily decided by greedy _character_ matching and easily resolved. In JavaScript the following give wildly differently shaped ASTs since the / character initiates RegEx parsing when in a _value po
