    I just stopped caring about votes. It's often driven by inertia, and it can't differentiate a vote from someone who doesn't know anything vs a domain expert. Life is better once yo…

    It's really Venezuela's fault for trying to join NATO /s

    I would imagine they would disable the user-facing "load x86_64 Mach-O's seamlessly" and other loader magic, and keep around the core for such things.

    I was saying some of the top contributors of Dolphin are also top contributors of this project based on GitHub data.

    I believe a lot of the folks working on FEX are also core contributors to Dolphin, the Wii/GC emulator.

    Does Larry really lack enough self awareness to not realize these kind of statements make him sound like an orwellian super villain, or perhaps he does and simply does not care? Th…

    MFG is almost certainly still interpolation. I'm guessing Reflex 2 is more akin to extrapolation, and might be getting the media to cross wires?

    Yeah, in hindsight I should have figured it was more generated frames presented at a lower frame times (shorter period). The Digital Foundry initial impressions are promising, but …

    I just saw the Digital Foundry results, and that's honestly really good. I'm guessing users will self tune to use 2x/3x/4x based on their v-sync preference then.

    3 Generated frames sounds like a lot of lag, probably a sickening amount for many games. The magic of "blackwell flip metering" isn't quite described yet.

    Deploying some sort of TPM remote attestation for DRM requires every component from every vendor to play nice, so I don't think you'll ever see that rolled out for Windows. I would…

    I think there's a large pool of good talent that can't fully be trusted to do the right thing (not slack off), but can be employed successfully with sufficient guardrails (return t…

    I don't plan on buying any form of spinning media ever again in my life.

    This is sad indeed, but it was already infested with low quality trolls before the Elon Musk purchase. The entire Jonathon Scott clown-fiesta was utterly embarrassing.

    I don't particularly care, but it's lazy. It's nicer if people try and pick something unique and unambiguous in the domain, so searches don't clash. Obviously, that's not always po…

    Which would you recommend is better to get started with: MiSTer or Analogue Pocket (non dev edition)? The workflow of testing new cores on AP if you don't have Developer Pocket see…

    There's nothing on the official website or GitHub that indicates what this software is, other than a cropped screenshot that looks like vscode with a prompt pop up over it. Edit: I…

    Nah, they just wear corporate issued Apple Watches. Not everyone likes to wear stuff on their wrists though, so standard protocol is to wear it on your ankle.

    In my experience, having used wire and uberfx (while swe at uber), they always felt like a clunky system to ultimately just have something automatically pass a few variables to a c…

    I'm not sure what point you are trying to make anymore. Of course you cannot distinguish between unrecoverable and recoverable panics, because by definition an unrecoverable panic …

    There seems to not be any standard list of unrecoverable panics/aborts, but this Stackoverflow post [1] has a list of a few. As far as the user/developers are concerned, it doesn't…
