Well, that’s half of it, and the other half of it is no sub-pixel coordinates.

Only one of the consoles listed lacks an FPU, the other two (N64 and DreamCast) both have FPUs. Despite its age, the FPU on the N64 was plenty fast and it was used extensively.

Everything being static inline makes it hostile to these older systems which have limited RAM. Use of float makes it unlikely that you’d run it on the PlayStation, which has no FPU…

Yes

I’m here in the thread and I can answer questions or elaborate on things, so if you want to know what I meant you can just ask me and there’s a good chance I’ll respond.

YMMV, I don’t run a home lab, I just have a NAS and run a personal website. I definitely don’t have a “fleet”. I have two servers running Debian and I can bring them back up from z…

I don’t have all of the details, sorry, but PAM is a bunch of .so that are dlopen'd and if you mess them up you lose access to your system pretty damn quick. I would tell people to…

I didn’t use the word “complicated”, maybe I’m missing something, but I listed some specific complaints and “Nix is complicated” wasn’t on the list.

There was a sweet spot in like 2024 when it seemed like everything was possible with Nix, but now it seems like everything “experimental” is permanently so (like flakes), packages …

I thought DRAM was pretty dense already. Is mask ROM that much denser?

Sarcasm, definitely

I think that opinion is as reasonable as any. I feel compelled to argue against it (I even thought out the arguments in my head!) but my compulsion to have an opinion on HN is a di…

What’s your reasoning for saying that the spending level requires that level of justification?

A while ago I was thinking, “Gee, AI is so complicated, how can I keep up with the landscape?” After reading these articles go by so often, it feels like what I actually can’t keep…

I’m wondering if this is leveraged investors in KOSPI, where retail > institutional traders. More leverage = more volatility. If it actually IS a correction, I’m hoping that some o…

I see that a lot of these are markets. Yes, it’s hard to predict markets. Because anybody who can successfully predict markets, does so, makes money, and changes the market so thei…

Rust is designed to make this type of issue impossible, but that assumes that you can correctly encode object lifetimes in the kernel in a way that allows the compiler to check the…

Copybara can do that but I think it will be annoying and tedious to use it that way. More annoying than the problem of extracting a library or shoving some files in a separate repo…

Been using this for a while, mostly when I make a tool as part of a larger project and the tool is big enough to deserve its own release. It’s powerful enough to do a whole bidirec…

There are some really powerful things in Williams’s performance. You’re right about the nature of Hollywood—you work with what you got. But Hollywood also eats its own tail. Filmma…

> That's the entire point. Yeah, that’s the entire point, and I think it makes no sense. People will take off their mask if they feel like it’s safe. They don’t take off their mask…

Yes, that’s what I was getting at. Matt Damon didn’t have the kind of life experiences to write a good version of that speech, so we got the version in the movie, which sucks.

I completely agree. I watched the movie recently and really hated that monologue. I truly hated it. It seemed just so out of character for somebody who is supposedly a psychologist…
