People also said similar things in the past (I'm a musician as well: guitar, piano and bass) about Synths and Drum machines (and things like GarageBand which can do backing drums a…

Not if you want better fidelity: the VFX industry for film moved from rasterisation to raytracing / pathtracing (on CPU initially, and a lot of final frame rendering is still done …

It's not clear that is does affect Airbus does it? It looks like only the LEAP-1b engines are affected by this, and I was under the impression that LEAP-1b was 737-MAX-only? (A320 …

No, that aircraft was a 737-800 (NG), whereas the LRD is only on the LEAP engines of the 737 MAX...

It used to in older (pre 2.0) versions, but due to Python's GIL lock (and the fact Python's quite a bit slower than lua anyway), it was pretty slow an inefficient using Python with…

Katana uses LuaJIT quite extensively for user-side OpScripts, and previously both DNeg and MPC (they've largely moved on to newer tech now) had quite a lot of Lua code...

As someone who's used Lua a lot as an embedded language in the VFX industry (The Games industry wasn't the only one that used it for that!), and had to deal with wrapping C++ and P…

Word for Microsoft 365, and since November...

A 256-item float32 LUT for 8-bit sRGB -> linear conversion is definitely still faster than doing the division live (I re-benchmarked it on Zen4 and Apple M3 last month), however fl…

I've tried a lot in the past as well, and after getting annoyed with proprietary OS X software (iBank in particular) back in 2009 or so, and not really liking GNUCash and KDEMoney …

That's been within the last year I think - I too have been using Linux and Firefox for calls in Teams meetings from 2020 to last year when I had to move to the Teams Linux client (…

I think the throughput is currently quite limited because of low levels of water in the natural lakes close to Panama which are used for both Panama's drinking water and for the lo…

I mean, it does read badly, and maybe the worst should be assumed, but at the same time: > You hereby grant to Vultr a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to copy, ma…

Yeah, as someone who's been attempting to use VSCode to do Python and Rust dev over the past three years, I'm continually surprised by people who say VSCode and the Rust analyzer p…

This sounds a bit like this issue: https://www.aviationtoday.com/2015/05/05/boeing-787-power-is... Which was an issue where the 787's Generator Control Units went into failsafe mod…

Yeah, I've noticed this as well with DDG recently: even with the localised checkbox disabled it still prioritises them, which often is very frustrating as the results are then almo…

It's interesting to me that being on A/C and Battery power showed a performance difference: when I benchmarked a M1 Pro MBPro against an Intel 2015 MBPro two years ago, I didn't no…
