    Yes, it's generally quite a bit nicer. It's not as nice as I hoped, but it's better. The old APIs are JSONAPI-style. The main disappointment is that input types are not nearly as e…

    There is already a fix for 10.12, it was pushed in December. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208331

    It makes it easier to get started, and you can often kinda-ish reuse some effort from your webpage at the cost of bad performance and non-native look/feel. It's a trade-off for me,…

    "The Twelve Kingdoms", by Fuyumi Ono. We'll count all the volumes as one. Maybe I read them at just the right time in just the right place, but if you are in the right mood it tell…

    The main thing that's holding me back is the smaller battery, everything else seems pretty good to me.

    The SLI bridge is quite slow though, even the updated SLI bridge is just 2GB/s.

    Because Cycles is a rendering engine, while FireRays is a ray intersection acceleration library. Cycles could opt to use FireRays for ray intersection if they wanted to, but most u…

    Write 'normal' text for example, also if you're including CJK-strings in your app it is kind of nice if they are not rendered as teensy or on top of each other.

    Except then you start using floating-point and then the transformations do not work anymore. > 1 => false > nan > 1 => false

    Considering the physics of EVE: Online, I would be surprised if what you're asking for isn't roughly what EVE: Valkyrie will be. Due to space-magic in the engines every ship pretty…

    While cool, it isn't nearly as cool as the current title (Cxx.jl: C++ interpreter embedded in Julia) implies, since it is not a C++ interpreter. A more reasonable title could be "T…

    I use a 13" without an external screen for most coding and like it, just like many people say, it's easier to focus on one thing if you can't have more than two files open at the s…

    It's even more complicated than that, since the cache doesn't have to cache encoded instructions, they can actually store decoded instructions, and a few of the caches on a modern …

    Well… there's other issues than just making code smaller, the idea with having a fixed length instruction size is making the decoder simpler. Decoding enough instructions to feed a…

    Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not sure why, but I have this tingling feeling that it holds some hints and tidbits about Chinese culture and history.

    I'm 25 and feels lost in a culture that hails 20 year olds that are dreaming up the next big thing. I don't think age is the important thing here, I have worked with people of all …

    I am doing 3-day work week (plus a day of studying) per week, so roughly equal, and it has worked great. You're more focused at work, and you get a lot of time to think about probl…

    You are right that I should have been more nuanced in my critique, and you're probably right that it's easier to give away stuff than money. But I think we should try to always sho…
