I have to use VS for work and Intellisense can be so annoying. Too slow (I've already completed the word), or unhelpful. Example: Accessing elements in a 3d vector, having already typed "var." it pops up with the options, x,

There are still manual optimizations that can be done (non-temporal writes where appropriate for example), but nothing like the painstaking removal of Load-Hit-Stores and cache control of the 360/PS3 era.

Is there any other MacOS archival app that lets one look at the contents before extracting (like WinRAR, say) without resorting to the terminal?

My favorite part of the GS was the sheer insanity of the bus, 2560 bits wide in total with a clever split on the cache. The PS3 felt like a step down in some ways, blending especially.

Not sure what you mean. The entire system was available to everyone day 1 through the manuals. The introduction of the VLC VU assembler made VU development easier (single instruction stream, automatic register allocation). PATH3 texture upl

Maybe I'm just old, but the same information that a lot of blogs and youtube videos show (though not Fabien's series above) and more can be grokked by scanning the development docs you can find on archive.org.

Then it gets fun. "It'll be even more fun when we can afford to have the fourth wall installed. How long you figure before we save up and get the fourth wall torn out and a fourth wall-TV put in? It's only two thousand dollar

Reading the comments, that's kinda what they did, though they had to learn that first and only now realize they only needed one.

Games are quite simple really (read input, move, draw, beep, repeat). Too many get caught up on The Right Way to do things, but realistically all that matters is what the user sees and hears, how you get there is inconsequential. Making _so

The Performance Analyzer version of the PlayStation development board took up 3 ISA slots. Once PCI slots started to outnumber ISA slots we struggled to find motherboards for them.

I don't know, get out of retail hardware and potentially increase market share by allowing manufacturers to tailor devices to their respective markets? I'd just like to see more variety tbh (look at the plethora of handheld PCs),

Try alternating between water and beer. You’ll drink half as much, and at a better pace.

For Edmonton & Calgary at least, which house the majority of Alberta’s population, such infrastructure would’ve meant better planning for growth, reducing the low-density sprawl we see today.

I can’t understand why, with winters known to be how they are, there is no district heating. If that infrastructure had been in place, a transition to carbon-less sources of heat could be well underway.
