Or just defining the result of division by zero as zero "for safety": https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/divide-by-zero/ It boggles the mind, truly!

>But math never decreed that sine and cosine have to take radian arguments! Ummm, actually it did. The Taylor-series of sine and cosine is the simplest when they work with radians. Euler's formula (e^ix = cosx + isinx) is the simple

That's not really ray-tracing. That's just regular GPU rendering with physically-based materials and some ray-tracing effects for extra chrome.

Any non-trivial project would quickly reach RLIMIT_NOFILE as inotify is non-recursive, so you'd need to open a new fd for each monitored file.

Step 1: nearly bankrupt your country Step 2: sell out your country to wealthy foreigners to "stimulate the economy" Step 3: act surprised that you can't afford living in your country, that got sold out to wealthy foreigners

PinePhone couldn't even create a phone that can make voice calls properly like a Nokia 3310, yet you're envisioning them beating Apple (!) with rolling out some futuristic technologies.

Lol! You're pretty unhinged.

Ok, but it Czechia by and large you have Czech people paying for the welfare of other Czech people. On the other hand in the US, you would have mostly white and asian people paying for the welfare of mostly blacks and latinos. No wonder the

More like third-party software (Slack, Figma, VSCode, anything web-based) is getting even more bloated as their engineers' machines get upgraded to M1 Pros.

>For those of us whose CS background doesn't go this deep, what about ARM makes it more performant than x86? It is more performant because the silicon is made by a company that didn't botch their last process node.

Yep. I don't want mobile carriers to be anything but dumb pipes.

RCS is inferior to iMessage simply because it doesn't work on tablets and desktop computers. Since RCS is tied to mobile carriers, who don't want to give up control over those juicy messages, the problem will persist forever.

120 years ago we knew that some things can fly, because we saw birds. We just had to figure out how to do the same with humans. On the other hand, we have never encountered anything in nature that goes faster than the speed of light. That&#

I know. But the second sentence of the article starts with: "Neverball uses legacy “fixed function” OpenGL." But also you could simply remap the Z coordinate of gl_Position at the end of the vertex stage, do the clipping in [0,1]

Couldn't you just pre-multiply the projection matrix to remap the Z range from [-1,1] to [0,1]?

That's way too much. No wonder there's so much bad code out there.

More like: running machine code compiled from Rust on an emulated ARM-like CPU.

My 2010 Opel/Vauxhall Astra has tons of buttons/knobs, and I love it. I hope the next time I'll have to buy a car (in 3 years? 5 years?), the touchscreen fad will be over.
