When you're playing a game, you don't -usually- see, let alone care about the underlying code, you care about what it does. At least in certain genres, the use of AI art (or worse,…

Well, they still have their Pontiac HQ. I've never worked there, I've only had the pleasure of knowing some former employees that were way happier at RKT, and the observation that …

There's actually a mortgage company that does worse; They call it the 'People Promise', and it sounds like a bonus, but; 1. It's actually a loan. 2. If you leave or are terminated …

There's in-betweens; '1T SRAM' or eDRAM. Of course, 1T SRAM isn't really SRAM, but my understanding is it doesn't require external refresh like eDRAM, is a bit easier to fab on-die…

I can speak from a relative perspective, at least for my state; - The major Electrical provider has a terrible track record for improving overall reliability of service to local ho…

Winnie the pooh, winnie the pooh, he's a bear, that wants to make the best code for Tiananmen square!

I think most of the kosher rules come from a sort of 'this is the most practical rule we can make at the time to keep people safe' sort of thing. Stuff like disease (i.e. most of t…

IDK if anyone really answered -this- question properly, so I will. > Isn't that exactly what hybrid cars (e.g. Prius) are? Extremely efficient gas engine for highway cruising, but …

Yeah.... Where folks (often) get lazy is the resulting math over what the real bean-counters care about (but are too lazy to check often). In a past life, I worked on costing model…

> Mechanical sympathy is an important passive perk for software architects to cut down the number of reworks down the line We might be talking on different levels but when it comes…

Even as a Maverick owner, I do actually think there's a market for these. Not me , but if it was real I could see it filling a lot of fleet type orders.

Stellantis almost built one, I think the Ramcharger? A couple other companies tried EREVs but AFAIR one was suboptimal (Mazda had one but the motor was so small it was dangerous to…

>the proliferation of 3rd rows in midsize SUVs. Ehh, 3 row minivans are typically more practical . Alas, market forces are a fickle beast.

> I'm not up on the Maverick, but the comparison chart for the Slate EV feels pretty misleading Well as a Maverick person, I'll say the following as far as 'hmm' about the chart. F…

I mean FWIW this looks to me much like the sort of hacks I had to get into last time I worked with Java so I can't really blame you.... > Valhalla can't come soon enough for us. Th…

Well, when I say resources in this case, I mean UART bandwidth and the overhead of synchronizing that for output.... not so much memory itself (well, unless the overhead of the hac…

As a semi silly (But also possibly pragmatic, if we want to do this for more than simple 'fun') question... I wonder what it would take for projects like this, to take the video ou…

Agree that Compression is not a good option for this; you'd wind up needing to decompress the rows anyway (or spend a good amount of time on trying to use the compressed symbols to…

> The only major studios doing their own thing is Rockstar and Bethesda. Is Ubisoft's Anvil still alive or is it just in an unknown status after they cancelled a few upcoming title…

> The point is to emphasize, even exaggerate, low-status negative qualities. Or, to cite other potentially preemptive design, add enough other absurdity where someone can just say …

> I think a better case could be made for the Klingons being racist caricatures, since in TOS their look was intentionally based on Asiatic and Mongol people in order to make them …

... Depends on where we are looking at in the real-world episode production timeframe. TNG did still resort to 'caricatures as a default', If we are to be a tiny bit bold and look …

And indeed South Park has always made a point to have extreme satire that is implausible to help establish that such is parody. [0] The episodes in the last year have gone to extre…

I mean FWIW Scala has Slick (but then you're dealing with the rest of Scala ecosystem...) and there's Linq2Db on .NET side. Having dealt with all 3 on some level (Slick the least) …

The happiest middle ground I've found in .NET has been LinqToDb. It's more of a Micro ORM, -but- has a Linq DSL, as well as DSLs for lots of DB bits. CTEs, Window functions, Bulk c…
