Computer science evolved during the time when most people did not have a computer. The concepts of compilers, operating systems, databases, file systems, computer graphics all evolved from the 60s to the early 90s. After that, it was mostly

But it is anti-alternative. It discourages alternative ways to do things. This is bad in the long term because alternative ways of doing things open other avenues of investigation and development. But all we get are improved versions of ham

Are there any tutorials on writing custom microcode? I imagine it would be like ring0 driver programming on steroids! Pretty cool.

Who do I want to work with? A person who can work with me, get stuff done and somewhat match vibe with their coworkers. They can be good in spelling bee, swimming, chess, marathon or leetcode, its on them. I do not get much useful informati

I want the LLM to decide not to do anything, or write a new OS. Whenever I prompt: "Do not do anything" It always does <something>.

Slightly offtopic: Is there a way to do create meshes and animate them directly inside blender, pragmatically? Sort of like shadertoy, but instead of drawing, sculpting and rigging manually, I write some code that generates meshes and run s

I consider many successful military leaders and politicians to be geniuses as well. In my books, Caesar is as genius as Newton! Having said that, we do not to understand the world to exploit it for ourselves. And what better way to understa

Single player video games are not going to die. And the market seems to punish any push for always online model (which is obviously a scam). I say this because a bulk of market for personal computing is driven by video games.

Does the constitution apply everywhere? We take the global world for granted, but it is made up of sovereign states many of them have their own constitution.

I agree; however, engine developers are already dedicated to building massive behemoths of software that is the game engine and they constantly do collaborate with driver devs, essentially sharing much of the same skillset. Also, the onus i

I think the future is getting rid of all the APIs and driver overhead, compile directly to GPU compute and write your own software renderers in a language targeting GPUs (Could be Zig)

Another reason is that exploratory programming is hard by design in Rust. Rust is great if you already have a spec and know what needs to be done. Most of the gamedev in my opinion is extremely exploratory and demands constant experimentati

Simply in India, anything told to the police is not applicable as evidence in the court of law. Only statements in front of Judges are applicable. So it makes no sense for police to interrogate to get answers.

The opposite of censoring is putting out information at scale. What if the Chinese government decides to generate so much information at so much scale that people start believing it? Advertisements work, do they not? Saturate the internet w

I want to experiment with graphics programming without using APIs like Vulkan and write GPU code at the lowest level possible. I believe a lot of complexity can be shaved off with added advantage of a custom rendering toolchain. I can do na

Malwares are going to be written in rust; What difference does it make? Also Its not memory based vulnerability but policy based vulnerability.

You only risk prison if you sell it to the "bad guys" on the black market. Sell it to people who can jail the bad guys instead; that is, our governments.

I like most immersive sim games. However, the market does not seem to like them. They are very hard to make and get right, but the RoI is mostly cult following. If you liked Deus Ex, you might also like Dishonored and Prey. PS: I would love
