In simplistic terms, at supersonic speeds the air particles do not have sufficient time to "get out of the way" of the body moving in the air. This causes the air particles to be compressed into a dense "shock wave", whi

While I've always appreciated some music due to some amazing specific technical aspect, such as Jacob Collier's harmonies or Steve Vai's guitar skills, the records I'd take with me on a desert island tend to consist of v

In my case, CPU usage goes to the roof if I use a scaled resolution instead of the default one. If that is the case with all macOS users with non-default resolution, I wouldn't call it low prevalence.

Me too, and as it happens, I'm running on retina with "more space" enabled. Firefox is unusably slow, to the point where I'm probably abandoning it after a few weeks of really trying to get into it. Which is a shame, bec

Well, of course you don't _need_ it. You can always go and parse the extension string yourself, then call LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() to manually setup pointers to the extension functions etc. The point is that you don't ha

Portability etc notwithstanding and purely from an API point of view, there's no question that DirectX is superior to OpenGL. There are lots of examples, but the mere fact that you need _another_ 3rd party API such as GLEW even to be a

The juxtaposition between hardware being the loss-leader over software, and vice versa, is interesting. The article states that "clearly one model is working and one isn't". I'm not sure if this is really the case. For example, in the games
