OK but with the complexity of games today there is no way such a game could be released bug-free. Could games be released better than they are though? Probably. We needed game software updates in order to allow the 10x complexity increase,

Facebook discovered that in their data centers heavy usage of SSE instructions caused overheating that broke the chips. It was happening frequently. Source: I worked at Facebook.

Has Facebook ever publicly written about the major Intel chip SSE failures they ran into a few years ago?

It's about computing, not about computers.

Depends a lot on the school, or possibly more specifically: the location or demographics of the school. Many high schools with motivated students (eg where I went) have few issues and good education outcomes. Some others are little better t

OK, so document that?

Doesn't it depend a lot on the game? A well designed game could get a lot more out of a fast SSD.

IMO disk tech of 25 GB/s vs 100 GB/s for memory counts as approaching.

Did your lane split into two and it took the left one? What do you think caused it to do what it did?

What is your definition of "retina grade"?

The article has only a single sentence on it, but bar ends are illegal in racing, because they can gouge you and because they can hook on things.

Right and the design flaw was that a server breach meant all phones were breached. Which is what happened.

How do you tell a quality power supply?

Well he was destroying a power supply to make this report and so maybe there was a budget.

> Yes, as long as the original pointer was to a non-const location. So then actually no - it's not guaranteed to be portable. That non-const location qualification of course means portable code cannot just cast const pointers to non

My Thermapen is fine, so is my one with the F/C button. Because I happen to need both and so this supposed distraction is a big benefit. Super simple is nice, except when it's too simple for a given user. Reminds me of how Apple s

This idea that because a commercial kitchen doesn't mix F and C and thus nobody else should ever have to is ridiculous and is a form of gatekeeping. I download recipes and measurements are sometimes F, sometimes C. Sometimes ounces, so

> Switching between F and C should be difficult. This is something you set once and pretty much never change. No, because my own experience says otherwise. And this idea of accidental changing is hogwash, again because I've used thi

Good article but I would like to point out that I too looked into the Windows Text Services Framework years ago and it was literally the worst designed and implemented API I had ever worked with in my career. I got ahold of some engineers w

Those games are using a lot more of the gpu than just the compute functionality.

It's a different product created about five years after Liquid Paper, but grew in Europe while Liquid Paper was growing in US.

Maybe it would have initially sold better with that name. Or maybe not, given how product naming and advertising was so bland back then.

I wish people would step back from conspiracy thinking and trying so hard to explain specific injuries and apply some occam's razor logic. eg people freaked out by an avalanche are going to bolt in their underwear; simplest explanation

I don't understand the downvotes. I have an $18 Amazon food thermometer which has read with identical speed and accuracy as my Thermapen for years. And I like it better because the Thermapen is a pain to switch between F and C whereas

Are you saying that in C a callee can cast a const pointer to non-const and write to it and that's sanctioned by the Standard?
