I make stuff with computers. Opinions are my own.

i am convinced that software devs have a speed problem they think the #1 issues is writing code faster... its not. its fixing the code that is already there to stop being utter garbage (as a garbage code connoisseur) quality is really lacking these days, yet quantity has never

The early modern era saw the production of massive plan reliefs - scale models of cities, fortifications and surrounding landscape for military usage. Venetians were the early pioneers of this in 16th century. But the French under Louis XIV took this on another level in 17th

When I'm making educational material, one of the techniques I almost always use is not just explaining why the correct idea works, but why the incorrect ideas don't work. It's easy to forget that often you need to see an ugly solution in order to appreciate an elegant one.

In a new Nature Physics study, researchers created particle-like so-called “vortex knots” inside chiral nematic liquid crystals, a twisted fluid similar to those used in LCD screens. For the first time, these knots are stable and could be reversibly switched between different

@rianflo Huge amount of pitfalls with compute-side dynamic dispatch of work (NV had it back when I worked there BTW), from long latency chains, to overheads tracking work completion, preemption, state restore, etc. It's not the golden answer people think it is. It is a slow path.

People flying into the replies to say "But it doesn't work at scale!" That's the point. The gigantic, techno-optimized way of life has its own destruction in-built. NGMI. A return to something more personal is inevitable if we are going to survive.

The older I get, the more I realize your standards decide your future. Every time you let something slide “just this once,” you train yourself to accept less. That’s how goals erode. That’s how principles slip. Set your standards. Hold the line. Especially when it’s hard.

None of these advantages are mutually exclusive with GUI, it’s just that legacy infrastructure doesn’t support it well.
i like tuis, but not for any of those reasons the main selling points of a tui is that it's lightweight, portable, and it works well over a remote shell

Took a peek at #Cryengine #SSE usage. Here's a snipped of how they avoided microcoded instructions considering the @PS4 #XBOX one console jaguar #CPUs . They expand the dot operation as in: _mm_mul_ps -> _mm_hadd_ps -> _mm_hadd_ps ; which is faster and more schedulable than the

"books are redundant why not just dive into the source code?" is mostly wishful thinking.
@kryzet_official @DetectiveOlivaw Code is nice but it's often just a snapshot of an already-finished implementation of a single tailored solution. Usually, we are taking about a topic that has many possible nuance alternative methods for different problems. I want historical context, comparison, edge-cases, etc.
