5.1 surround was invented in 1987. Sound mixing as we know it did not change in the same way graphics did. One should not expect courtesy if they can't offer it in the first place.

I thought it would be easy to understand the difference between x channels that play 1D data (that remained unchanged for half a century almost) and going from 50 thousand pixels to 15 million, with dozens of different sizes and aspect rati

Audio ultimately leads to a 1D data track. Ways to play that track is comparatively well understood, and well abstracted from the workload itself. We've been using 3.5mm jack at scale since the original Walkman, for example. That'

I use firefox because it has the most hassle-free hardware decoding in linux. However, everything basically feels better with Brave, even with the same amount of plug-ins.

Most of C's issues were directly addressed in Go as well. Only, Go did away with manual memory management. C never had the philosophy of keeping things simple through the years. If it did, we would not have time traveling UBs to begin

There's something to be said about philosophy of simplicity in C. However, C pretty clearly evolved into the opposite direction. This is nearly all due to compiler developers, and the fact that C has to cater to so many different hardw

DOTS isn't ECS. DOTS was supposed to be, a Data Oriented Tech Stack. Currently it only has ECS with some extra bits. Ergo, DOTS is an unfinished mess. And that unfinished mess --along with a mandate to release for Gamepass-- culminated

They were already entrenched with their first game, and used that opportunity to buy into the DOTS hype. DOTS had a much troubled development cycle; most of what was promised was eventually abandoned, and the key people were laid off. Anyon

The article starts with a gamedev disclaimer. Most gamedev folks would rather die on that Microsoft hill than use another OS.

One is built with webgl and typescript, the other with Godot. It shouldn't surprise anyone that a tech built for a specific purpose (video games) with Linux as the first class platform, performs better and is more stable than arguably

Amazon first wanted to make a game, so they bought Double Helix, a game company. With virtually unlimited budget, they started making a game, until a correction came from high up top that Amazon should actually make an engine, not a game,

This is a bit misleading, though my original post was a bit misleading too, now that I read it again (I was speaking more general, rather than just wheat, but may have misspoke regardless). Glyphosate famously breaks down after two weeks, b

Vegetables do have it, and other pesticides too. But depending on the crop, the application is different, and often stopped (or nearly stopped) by the skin. Leafy vegetables have no such protection, hence why they are almost universally &qu

I agree with your post, this is just a small nit: > organic wheat does not come in contact with glyphosate Organic crops do have pesticides in them, just in lower quantities. You cannot reverse half a century of pesticide abuse simply by

Unity acquired Weta; Epic collaborated with movies themselves, to the point that their CTO even played as an extra in the latest Matrix movie. I think that is the distinction they were going for here. Currently, Weta is an outsider. Even in
