I don't think this is a solution. I do this often naturally, I walk around and "plan", and it feels like I'm just avoiding sitting down and doing the actual task. The author talks …

OpenGL is still the simplest way to start learning hardware accelerated rendering, and it runs on all modern platforms.

Yes, OpenGL 4.1 is available, just deprecated. It's emulated through Metal, and so will work on M chips.

I maybe be a complete moron not familiar with Github, but I wanted to have a look at the code and it took me solid 5 minutes of going through the website searching for a link to th…

As I said, a slab allocator is included as part of general purpose malloc implementations. Rust is not going to be smarter here. I would bet it uses malloc underneath anyway. Using…

You mean 4 bytes? You can't even address 4 bits. Small allocations can be handled by a slab allocator. Most likely implemented via a free list. A general purpose malloc should have…

DOGE gutted SSA, IRS, directly affecting seniors and other vulnerable people getting checks, gutted CFPB taking away fraud protection, not to mention gutting of USAID which caused …

It didn't already happen. As you pointed out, people who funded the purchase of Twitter hold SpaceX shares, and this IPO is how they get their money back.

People who helped Elon buy Twitter want their money back. After all the share-swap acquisitions X shares are now SpaceX shares.

Europe is dealing with the US, just not via empty threats on social media. Things take time when you have a functioning democratic system with checks and balances.

It's there any evidence that trading off of headlines works long-term?

Sounds a lot like what Musk does, except maybe that Musk uses his companies to outright bail himself out.

I think you underestimate how little economic pressure matters when people are up against an invader who attacked amidst negotiations for bogus reasons, threatened total annihilati…

Beside posturing, modern China was only involved in skirmishes at the Indian border. What's delusional is blindly comparing China to Russia or the USA.

Russia is keeping their expensive equipment in the back since years now because they're afraid to lose it. They would be fire bombing cities if they could. Russia already used whit…
