5.1 surround was invented in 1987. Sound mixing as we know it did not change in the same way graphics did. One should not expect courtesy if they can't offer it in the first place.…

I thought it would be easy to understand the difference between x channels that play 1D data (that remained unchanged for half a century almost) and going from 50 thousand pixels t…

Audio ultimately leads to a 1D data track. Ways to play that track is comparatively well understood, and well abstracted from the workload itself. We've been using 3.5mm jack at sc…

I use firefox because it has the most hassle-free hardware decoding in linux. However, everything basically feels better with Brave, even with the same amount of plug-ins.

> pacman -S rocm-hip-sdk rocm-opencl-sdk I have the same card, the above works with everything I threw at it so far. Haven't even installed amdgpu-pro drivers btw, only have radv (…

> that the complexity of the Vulkan is like 5x more than OpenGL for… 5% better performance? The complexity of Vulkan can (and in naive cases, always) slow things down in comparison…

> New Dune however feels more like Young Adult Entertainment. Paul Atreides (the main character) is 15 years old in Dune. Most people that read and revered Dune probably did so dur…

Most of C's issues were directly addressed in Go as well. Only, Go did away with manual memory management. C never had the philosophy of keeping things simple through the years. If…

There's something to be said about philosophy of simplicity in C. However, C pretty clearly evolved into the opposite direction. This is nearly all due to compiler developers, and …

DOTS isn't ECS. DOTS was supposed to be, a Data Oriented Tech Stack. Currently it only has ECS with some extra bits. Ergo, DOTS is an unfinished mess. And that unfinished mess --al…

They were already entrenched with their first game, and used that opportunity to buy into the DOTS hype. DOTS had a much troubled development cycle; most of what was promised was e…

The article starts with a gamedev disclaimer. Most gamedev folks would rather die on that Microsoft hill than use another OS.

One is built with webgl and typescript, the other with Godot. It shouldn't surprise anyone that a tech built for a specific purpose (video games) with Linux as the first class plat…

> AI will be doing graphics programming? I doubt that. I think the bigger concern (if you could call it that) is that certain AI techniques may be able to replace entire stacks onc…

Why is it only trying to detect ads when the user agent is Firefox? https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/17zdpkl/this_behav...

Amazon first wanted to make a game, so they bought Double Helix, a game company. With virtually unlimited budget, they started making a game, until a correction came from high up t…

This is a bit misleading, though my original post was a bit misleading too, now that I read it again (I was speaking more general, rather than just wheat, but may have misspoke reg…

Vegetables do have it, and other pesticides too. But depending on the crop, the application is different, and often stopped (or nearly stopped) by the skin. Leafy vegetables have n…

I agree with your post, this is just a small nit: > organic wheat does not come in contact with glyphosate Organic crops do have pesticides in them, just in lower quantities. You c…

Rust is great when you know what you're building. That qualifier encompasses quite amount of software space, but not all of it, and I would argue not even the majority of it. If yo…

One is a biological being that we share ancestry with (however far), and the other is a probability machine that tries its best to guess the next token based on literature and onli…

Unity acquired Weta; Epic collaborated with movies themselves, to the point that their CTO even played as an extra in the latest Matrix movie. I think that is the distinction they …

Meaningless. Anything that doesn't control for the amount of contamination that the ingredients has is meaningless. Are the participants eating meat? Red meat? Processed meat? Cure…
