I love your articles. Used some techniques almost 10 years ago for hobby projects. Box2D/3D would make physics synchronisation a lot easier.

Agreed. The "Apple Vision Pro" would have (rightfully so) never been released under Steve Jobs.

Astronomy is not named "Telescope Science" though. ;-)

If there was any glimmer of hope for "Rabbit M1" or "Humane AI pin", it can be buried to dust.

Yes! Win-win imho — the orange made it look much better along with the white SRBs, orbiter and a blue sky in the background.

I recall in some interview that Rockstar never wants to show footage of the development process or have any "behind the scenes". Even video interviews at their office is rare (I know of only one). Their reason for it is that it wo

GTA IV's tech was quite ahead of its time (2008), with the integration of Euphoria (which had to be integrated in-house by NaturalMotion engineers inside Rockstar's studio @ Edinburgh). The other comment correctly pointed out tha

I can't wait until major frameworks (such as Spring in version 6.1) support virtual threads. Reactive programming (e.g., Webflux) would become a niche (unless your use case truly requires streaming with a high number of TPS).

I have tremendous admiration for all teachers, especially computer science teachers who (presumably) could make more money working as engineers in the industry, but instead choose to educate others and help them chase their dreams. You are

Completely agree. It reminds me of 'They Write the Right Stuff' (1996) [1], how a group of engineers developed the software for the Space Shuttle. [1] https://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff

Havok physics is certainly an interesting addition! Especially since Cannon.js & Oimo.js are not being maintained anymore. Ammo.js (port of Bullet) seems to have some updates here and there (IIRC, it was easier to setup using Babylon co

Completely agree. Heck, even the current 'waiting list' page (bing.com/new) looks so outdated and a mess. I don't know whether it is the font, the colors, the composition or margins.. Bing itself looks like a mess too.

Perhaps, Google can finally start focusing again on creating quality products instead of nonsense videos/hypes like "Demonstrating Quantum Supremacy" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZNEzzDcllU ). However, wo

Jack of all trades, master of none. I don't think it's bad at all: at least you can specialise at something (quicker) whenever the need arises.

CD Projekt was considered a solid developer before Cyberpunk. However, Cyberpunk was (completely) broken during its initial release 2 years ago (and still is on some of the platforms). The industry is in shambles if this is what meets expe

I don't understand why Apple didn't build this functionality and enabled it by default. It's much easier dragging a window at any corner or side on a Linux/Windows OS.
