Agreed. I think a tutorial step with mixing from obvious directions followed by the current one would be better.

That sucks. I'm excited about a lot of things. I can't imagine COVID really changed that for other people - though I suspect you're right that it did.

I'm having a hard time understanding how this leads to lay offs. Software engineering salaries being amortized over 5 years leads to an increase in yearly taxable income for the company. So what makes this a bad thing for the company?

The FAQ states: > Why so many from Konami? > That’s because of Yoshinori “Moai” Sasaki. (ref) https://moai.games/faq/

They're still using the oven temperature example further down, unfortunately.

> You can't control how much you want to toast the bread. But it does let you control that. There's a knob for it. Granted, I still wouldn't pay $260 for this, but it's a pretty cool mechanism nonetheless.

Loud breathing is one of my biggest concerns when wearing noise-cancelling headphones around others. Partly because I dislike hearing it from others and don't want to subject them to that, and partly because I don't want to sound

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro came out last year. The 7a came out this year, which is the same pattern they've used for the past few generations. As far as the yearly cadence, well, that's what everyone does now. I agree that a couple yea

I think the fake white bookshelf wallpaper has a certain aesthetic about it. I would like it in an AirBnB type of place, but definitely not in my own house. I would also want it to actually fit on the wall and not be awkwardly cut off on th

The editorial on Hz is particularly funny and insightful. // Beware the SI's broken definition // of Hz. You should treat the radian as being correct, as a fundamental // dimensionless prope

Maybe you're just unlucky. I usually find an answer, or at least something that points me in the right direction. The "me too" problem was prevalent with forums too.

I totally understand this stance. Not every game had cheat codes, not every movie/TV show has hidden details, and so not every piece of software has to have easter eggs. That kind of defeats the fun of it anyway, knowing that everythin

That's really interesting. In the OP article I was noticing that instead of the horizontal artifacts of Perlin noise, Simplex noise had diagonal artifacts. And this is why

One word reply, really? That's not even the same as generating a static site.

Is it that heavy because it petrified? I wonder how much it would've weighed as just bone.

Awfully condescending opinion. How about making _general_ computing devices more accessible via UI/UX to the _general_ public? That doesn't seem like such a crazy idea.

The three big CPU/GPU companies are often (between each other, at least) called Team Red, Green, and Blue - for AMD, Nvidia, and Intel.

Of course a C-style array in C++ doesn't have a defined end. It doesn't have an end in C either. But in C++ you don't need to be using those anyway. Part of the issue is that, while you can use the usual C idioms in C++ (e.

Full disclosure, I work with the team behind Embree and OIDN. I've never personally worked with oneDNN. I'll just say that we test our code on Intel CPUs (obviously) and therefore optimize performance based on those tests. We don&

Neither Embree nor OpenImageDenoise use MKL. OpenImageDenoise does use a fork of mkl-dnn, now called one-dnn, but it has nothing to do with MKL.

I think it will remain pocket-bound for a while until battery technology improves enough to make smaller or more flexible form factors viable. I think a neural connection is the next big jump, but we're not near that jump just yet. S
