Viewing profile — morio

Sorry to be blunt, that C/C++ code is crustyyy. Just to start with run this through an decently complete clang-tidy profile and fix all errors and warnings. That should become part…

I haven't looked at this recently but from what I remember rendering from SDF textures instead from simple alpha textures was 3-4 times slower, including optimizations where fully …

Yeah, there is an entire science on how to do font rendering properly. Perceptually you should even take into account if you have white text on black background or the other way as…

Not really, it's the same color primaries just without the non-linear transfer function.

You got a long way to go. Writing a rasterizer from scratch is a huge undertaking. What's the internal color space, I assume it is linear sRGB? It looks like you are going straight…

The majority of US homes use a split phase setup. So 240V is readily available and in fact the only way you can run central AC. Nominal voltage of a single phase is 120V. Technolog…

One example from the software side: A common thing to do in data processing is to obtain bit offsets (compression, video decoding etc.). If a byte would be 10 bits you would need m…

I find hand soldering QFN is faster, easier and more reliable than (T)QFP once you got enough practice. If you need to rework the QFN part the key is to FLOOD the footprint with go…

In the US, the neutral and ground are generally bonded in your breaker panel.

To be clear: I already had my old car insured with them for several years, so I just removed the old car and added the new car. I am also 50+ with no negative record and a garage i…

I concur, bought insurance for a new car early January and got it instantly using esurance.com (Allstate) by just entering my VIN. Yes, I am in SF/Bay Area.

Ok, I'll bite. Uploaded my gerbers using https://instantdfm.bayareacircuits.com/ Site does not respond for 10 minutes+ which is is not a good start. It's instant on the Chinese sit…

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that most of the VideoToaster software and hardware were specifically designed for the Amiga hardware architecture and therefore did not…

You can buy Prusa MK3 kits from Aliexpress for half the price of the original. I bought a kit from Prusa and one knockoff from Aliexpress. Parts wise they are 100% the same and per…

Huh? CCS1, CCS2 and NACS are DC. You are probably thinking Type 2 (Europe) which is indeed 3 phase and j1772 (US) which is single phase.

> Rust is massively more expressive. The question is not if Rust is more expressive but if C is expressive enough for the Linux kernel. So far there is no evidence that Rust adds a…

Sadly anything can be politicized these days.

These extreme fire events extend across the entire Northern hemisphere right now (Oregon, Washington, Montana, Greece, Turkey, Siberia etc.). Blaming California specific forest man…

What kind of false positives are you seeing with gcc? Personally I have never seen gcc spitting out a false positive. IMO it's always a good idea to explicitly downcast even if you…

Huh? You just pointed out what capitalism is about.

There are many failure points but one are the high voltage carrying power lines themselves. As they reach their capacity they start to droop quite a bit, which in itself can cause …

Thanks for the link. Though as a Google employee you should probably refrain from any further public comments.

I agree 100% with this. I have a fairly large tinker shop with 20-30 different machines and initially bet on the Pi platform to do CNC/Octoprint/robotics/etc controls, thinking I s…

The site does not have a valid SSL certificate. Some browsers will block it.

Never said it should be a requirement. But downloading a .zip file from a site which does not have a valid SSL certificate nor supports SSL in the first place does not instill conf…
