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 vulnerable and quite rare ecosystem of small…
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 you would use your 2fps streaming…
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 working day, I prefer to have at most 2 or…
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 nonstop now. It's trivial to build such a…
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 upgrade (like on Windows) or a 'premium'…
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 Atmos is not used much more for games.…
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 careful about picking the right parts (and…
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 allocate a lot of RAM to it (there's some…
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 structured bindings at all, but I…
>> 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 terms of production efficiency. The litho…
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 when you switch header/source, but that's…
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 possible to also expose some kind of GPU…

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 time, using unitialized variables,…
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 for NVME SSDs means your GPU will get…
>> Valve did build out a lot of features like Remote Play and streaming on Steam, but just to a level of ok functionality. I think Remote Play works brilliantly? I've finished multiple games using it, streaming from the…
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 you just use 1080p, which the vast…
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 as it gets but that’s by design, because…
