It's even worse when they fall off close to shore. Last year a small number of containers (around 5 I think) fell off a ship not far north of the Netherlands, close to a very vulne…

Oh I believe you can ‘stream’ stuff at 2 fps over a 500 kbps line alright, the ‘not serious’ part is how anyone could find that acceptable. Even if all you have is 500 kbps... If y…

It's definitely interesting to see how people's workflows can be so different, I get by with at most ~10 tabs, and close things as soon as I'm done with them. At the end of the wor…

Two whole frames per second... Not sure if serious :-/ Two fps at 34KB each is ~500kbps by the way, not 60 kbps

Yeah, you can even go back much further in time if you're not too worried about performance. I've been running a fanless Atom J1900 based mini-PC as a home server for ~8 years nons…

Sure, but why does the Xbox One support it then, but not the PS5? And wouldn't it be possible to somehow incorporate the licensing cost in the console by means of a paid software u…

Like the other comments I'm confused, pretty much any game I've played for the past few years supports surround sound, most of them 7.1 even. What I don't understand is why Dolby A…

The main problem would be to have to maintain the myriad of known working configurations, since they are all different depending on motherboard, BIOS, GPU, CPU, etc. If you are car…

I do this with QEMU/KVM with passthrough of an RTX 3090, an NVME SSD, and one of the onboard USB controllers. Works like a charm, though the VM boot time is very high if you alloca…

Ah I see, yes that's horrible. It's kind of weird structured bindings where not captured with [=](){} before, actually. I'm still stuck at C++11 for most of my work so I cannot use…

>> this is seriously going to change my life. Now I'm curious. Can you give a small code example of the kind of thing this solves and how it will change your life? ;-)

Most semiconductor production processes like etching, doping, polish etc are done on the full wafer, not on individual images/fields. So there is nothing to be gained there in term…

We use SCons at work, nothing really supports that :-/

And VS code with C++ is downright horrid, almost nothing works properly using the official C++ extensions. Yes it autocompletes and it sometimes manages to find the right files whe…

Most cars are mostly plastic and steel, and only a few percent aluminum, but I see your point

Good explanation in the linked article! This way of using Wayland and VM's seems very interesting and useful. What I'm wondering though, is whether it would be realistically possib…

>> You still should at least consider a vector here. If lookups are infrequent, you can just sort it and binary search it on demand (and just add new items at the end). There are c…

Yes it's not hard to spot the fake code if you take some time, I scored 10/10 on the first try. The GPT-2 code definitely 'looks real' but it doesn't make any sense most of the tim…

Not sure why this is downvoted. Almost all (if not all?) consumer motherboards will drop the 2 x16 slots to x8 mode if you insert anything in the second slot. So using a PCIe riser…

Not only that, but also: what's the business model behind Stadia? Like how do they expect to ever make money off of it? Right now they are still giving away the product for free if…

Lua is popular for games because it’s so small, focused, flexible and very easy to embed, not because the core language is so great. The Lua core language really is as bare bones a…
