No, it just means your input latency will be longer than 16ms.

This is really neat, I wonder if there's a way to keep a "remainder" around, kind of like Bresenham's algorithm, so that you can always do aligned reads from memory. The speedup on English text is really good, and I love

I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but I actually do this. I've got a spork, a glass cup, a metal straw, and a fabric napkin that I bring with me everywhere. If I'm going somewhere I know that I'll want to

Performance is nice and all but for driving on city streets it's really unnecessary. 8.2 seconds is plenty fast for modern driving and is roughly the same as a 2017 Honda Accord.

That I honestly don't know. Everyone but one person in the compiler area had at least a Bachelor's degree, and that one person had what was essentially a 4 year diploma. I'm not familiar enough with any of the areas or the ba

Hi, I worked on the C/C++ compiler for zLinux, the COBOL compiler for zOS, and on the non-open-source version of Hercules. If you've got zOS and COBOL knowledge then Toronto is the place for you. IBM develops their zOS software in

So NDP is essentially what Commodore did with their 1541 disk drive. That disk drive had a 6502 in there to complement the 6502 in the actual VIC-20. From what I remember, the IBM System Z mainframes also do this sort of thing and have dedi

I worked a compiler backend for 5 years. Despite the insane amount of testing, fuzzing, standards tests, etc that we did, there were always bugs coming in, and not always in code that looked dodgy. Sometimes an optimization interacts with a

This is so much better than I expected. I thought it was yet another person who put libcaca in front of a game but this. THIS! This is awesome! I used to love playing on the MOO and other MUDs and this brings me right back there. Excellent!

Opel is owned by GM (well, until March 2017). You're actually driving an American car. Assuming the 2015 and up model year it's platform sharing with the Buick Verano. The big difference here is that your engine is a diesel, and t

If memory usage matters to you, have you tried telling the JVM not to use all the memory? Have you tried any of the tuning options? Can't say I've ever used app engine, but the pure java applications I've worked on did in fac

While I really do like this article and the really interesting techniques it showed me, I'm bothered by the fact that they constantly mention performance but there's not a single benchmark on that page. It's not that I don&#x

I agree, it would be interesting to see. I'd also like to see it handle driving in both a heavy snow winter, like Calgary, and also a muddy brown snow winter, like in Ottawa. I feel like for a long time self driving cars won't be

This article makes it clear that I'm missing a lot of math background. Anyone have a good source for getting up to speed on tensors and manifolds?

My Nokia N900 from 2009 had decent depth of field and a decent lens. It's nothing really to write home about.

The thing I love about the eieio instruction is that it serves the same purpose on-chip as in the song. Sort of a sync point.

Big O isn't fooling you, it's giving you a one-function explanation of how the algorithm runs on an idealized system as the size of the problem increases. There's other systems you can simulate for big O, but the math is much

That doesn't really answer the issue, or the question. How are we supposed to get in touch when things go wrong? The blog post clearly showed that support was an afterthought and not properly QA'd.

This is especially true if you've got large smooth curves with small "sharp" curves that you want to keep a constant speed over. You can mostly just ignore it if all of your curves have a fairly constant curvature, but obviou

I did end up using Hermite curves and letting the designers and animators tune it how they wanted.

I only really found out how easy and fast Bezier curves are recently when I was adding some smoothing pathing to a game. They're really impressively useful.

It's not a bandwagon, it's an important web standard for HTML5 game developers who don't want to be stuck with TCP.

I've worked on the compilers for Z systems and on the z/PDT emulator that someone else mentioned. The processors they run are indeed monsters. The instruction set is especially interesting as you can see the transition from 24-31-
