The market will remain irrational far longer than even the most pessimistic takes.
Absolutely! A few times I have seen the full grandeur of this on the west coast of Tasmania. Highly recommend. Also neat seeing all those satellites flying about after sunset.
Your memories are spot on. ;)
It is the closest we have to a freedom respecting device. The baseband processor is still a closed blob but it is a lot better than pretty much everything else out there. Maybe Pinephone eventually will get there as…
There was that moment when a friend had a Dual G5 PowerMac only to have it trampled in performance by the new Core Duo Mac Mini. That was when we knew Apple had made the right move. I called the G5 tower (Steve's…
Get on it sooner rather than later. Many CRT's were thrown out when they were considered obsolete and the ones remaining are dying from age.
That is a very fair call! The overall champion of physical storage is still stone.
It is hard to tell what we will leave. Depending on how our civilization declines, if it just the typical path of resource overshoot and decline I do wonder how much of what we are creating today will last. Digital…
Not OP and a bit of an aside but, funnily enough the leap from BotW to TotK actually was the first time in a while that I felt like Nintendo didn't really bring that kind of refinement and innovation. It wasn't not a…
That is an understatement. The amount of refinement they have done now on various games is starting to feel like it is beyond just pure iteration but is a result of intuition that cannot be taught.
Seeing what folks in the demoscene can do nowadays with such limited hardware makes modern software feel all the more puzzling. I mean, yes demoscene stuff isn't concerned about ease of development, security or…
Usually that hesitance is because a lot of amatuer stuff has been made using Unity. But when in the right hands, it can feel like it is its own thing but it is easy to be hesitant after shoveling through so much trash.
That is a fair call. The game visual updating slow is not a huge issue but if the input cursor is slow, it is very apparent. Considering something like Simcity 2000/3000. Visual update is probably in single digits FPS…
To shoot from the hip on this one. It sounds like it could be limited by a single thread. Clock rates between mid and high end CPU's are significantly different but core count is. Thus if a single thread is holding up…
That is a fair call. If that is the case, robably best to just leave it.
Those gravitational boosts are vital. The closest in speed so far would be 'New Horizons'. But even then NH is going at 14.5KM/sec compared with Voyagers 18KM/sec. There are no probes currently that would catch up to…
It is like restaurants they say their ingredients are "fresh". If you have to specifically call it out, there is something wrong.
I said it on here before. I used to be the king of macaroni code. Tiny pieces of spaghetti code - fast running that barely made sense. The technical debt stacked up really quickly but it ran damn fast and got the job…
At launch definitely was a decent little performer. That said, the 386 was probably launched shortly afterwards as well. The funny thing is that it wasn't until almost the mass adoption of high speed 386's and the 486…
Spot on. Their laptops are so close to being great but there was always a little catch that made them just a hop and skip away from being all they could be. They could be wonderful design but manufactured with some less…
For 2D stuff definitely, but that was because of some neat dedicated graphics processor and a fixed platform for developers to target. The Amiga range in that sense was WAY beyond others in terms of audio/visuals when…
I'm not sure if it is the codec at issue there. I have only used Discord voice chat a few times being interviewed for podcasts and the quality at times is astoundingly good. That said, those doing the interviews are…
The idea of an intermission is something that I think should be entertained. 2001 A Space Odyssey has a 10 minute intermission for instance. It can also split up potentially longer pieces. “The length of a film should…
I am completely on board with the idea of Richard Stallmans of abolishing software patents BUT it is simply an ideal that I do not see ever happening on a large scale. The fact is that when it comes to business, they…
Which is why I always found it funny to see consoles using unified GDDR for CPU and GPU. But you can optimize around the limitation (within reason) and don't have to content with a general non-specified OS. This is why…
