Once one is over the odor of the headline, the announcement reads: * Neural Super Sampling (NSS) reconstructs higher-resolution images from lower-resolution renders, reducing the amount of conventional rendering work needed to produce a hig

Thank you. And it is a shame I had to scroll down this far in the comments for someone to point out the obvious. Even a weather app that uses "only" 250MB of RAM should never have been delivered by a semi professional software sho

I think you are doing the post injustice by hijacking it. FOSS maintainers can get a burnout even without toxic users - hard deadlines and the understanding that people really rely on your project can do that to you. e.g.: About 25 years I

If those "many successful services" are FOSS, you are a very rare breed of developers - one I have not yet encountered in almost 30 years of FOSS development. Could you please link some of your projects? I could use some inspirati

Every compiler in any language for any language has at the very least educational value. On the other hand, demeaning comments without any traces of constructive criticism don't have any value.

My initial reaction was that I have to use this just because of the buzzword density in the title. But after reading up, it looks like the author was pretty successful in moving the bloat from code to announcement title. I'll give this

They should name their team DNS because that is what will be shown on scoreboards of all tournaments to which their players will have to travel with DB anyway. Their reliability is so abysmal that I fly multi-hop flights from Berlin or to a

This is regular reporting using end-consumer market rates to inflate numbers. Just as you could not sell 127,271 bitcoins all at once at market value, you could not just sell cocaine worth $1.4 billion but still confiscated drugs, even in l

I did not "get it" from the post itself, but it linked to a post that mentioned "subed", subtitle editing for emacs with syncing with/control of video playback in mpv. I could see myself doing that and then would be

Yes, but ICE can pick you at random (probably lawfully at least close to borders and international airports) while you always have to talk with CBP when entering the country. I personally have been avoiding travel to/through the US w

This is travel advice I've been following for 25 years; because, as the article states, the rules are not new: Go through a port of entry that is not on US soil so being refused entry does not lead to incarceration and deportation. For

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is a good foundation. Darija (Moroccan Arabic) is probably furthest away because it is heavily influenced by the Berber languages (and Arabs are not the majority in Morocco, they are just the largest minority).

Looking at the license (MIT) we already got much more than what we paid for and the authors don't "have to" do anything but accept thanks of those who chose to be grateful for software they got for free.

Codewise I'd prefer a signaled error in elisp and something like your proposed magic/back-door as a handler you'd have to set up in user(-config) space.

A great metric for job security, not necessarily for better software: Unless it concerns security or correctness, I prefer an old but audited version of a library anytime over a newer version that I have to audit again. A metric like this w
