You can estimate mip levels per triangle and subdivde them based on the wanted mip level across z lines, instead of doing the calculation per pixel. It's a bit wonky, but can work, at least for the bigger triangles. I've linked so

I'm not sure about the exact hardware setup used here, but is it possible that something like valgrind would have helped here? I guess not, as the seems to run on the microcontroller, but I remember getting at least some warning from v

Another story: I was abroad, and someone got my card details and made purchases for thousands of $ in a different part of the country that I don't usually visit and certainly doesn't purchase there stuff for that amount of money.

My take is that auto primary advantage isn't optimizing for typing, it's optimizing for refactoring.

There is another point to consider here. The state of anti-virus solutions before Microsoft released Defender was horrible (probably still is). It was full of ad infested solutions, which would crash your computer from time to time. Defende

He wrote this piece in 1989, and then went on and designed Monkey Island 2, which did things like having solutions to puzzels depend on other puzzels in differnet islands in the most annoying way possible, on purpose. So you have that...

Descent used a different trick, of drawing even-z lines (one division per line), which meant drawing diagonal lines.

He talks about rosetta not implementing nested pointer enter instruction. For newer apps, there is also the issue that rosetta doesn't implement AVX and newer instructions, due to patent issues

This reminds me the time when Linus said that linux will be hard to port to other architectures, since it is tightly coupled with the 386 architecture...

I'm pretty sure you could do this using hardware performance counters, but I never actually tried, so I might be wrong

You may have missed a few. But it generally seems like a good idea, similar to headlines ending with a question mark.

My guess is that C# will be much better, since it has support for Value types. Wasn't Java supposed to get support for Value types some time ago?

In the enlarged photo of the ROM transistors, the transistor in the third row, second column, seems like it should be marked as disconnected. Should it? Or is there something I'm missing in the way the transistors are connected?

Regarding the more convenient alternative - as I understand it, it was using assembler and compiler that can run on a modern system, and only passing the floppy image between the host and the vm, instead of running the development tools ins

Cool, much easier for me than the English version. It could be nice to treat ending letters the same as regular letters (on the keyboard), similar to the way crosswords work in Hebrew.
