I'm a big fan of my Deck, but I think Steam-related software projects always have a distinctive low-level stink. I use mine on a train that has Wi-Fi with a captive portal and attempting to join it makes the whole UI unresponsive. Usin

I find this kind of advice underspecified. The people struggling the most to find work are juniors: what projects are big enough that the applicant would a) know and care about them and b) get a benefit out of the network but also c) have f

How do you see someone using this page? Feature names tend not to be very approachable. They often use very precise terminology or refer to papers with names that are targeted for a very in-the-know population. As an example, one of the fea

The elephant in the room is that AGI doesn't need ads to make revenue but a new Google does. The words aren't matching with the actions.

Everything moves pretty slowly https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support.html#cpp2... It's kind of shocking when you finally find the features you heard about in conferences used in the wild.

FWIW it definitely is and that's why you'd really probably just get a function or macro converting coordinates into a single-dimension offset in older C/C++. It depends on hardware but I've seen improvements of 100 times

Agreed, it's hard to understand how much easier commuting by train is until you've done it. YMMV if your local service sucks.

It's worse now, but complaints about offices as working spaces were constant pre-pandemic too. Complaining about it then made you seem a bit... wet. But now the highest levels have brought the productivity benefits of RTO into their wh

Interesting but it would be pretty rough to implement. If you take a binary now and run it on a core without the correct instructions, it will SIGILL and probably crash. So you have these options: Create a new compilation target - You'
