Back in the day I was a hardcore Mac nerd and became a professional at it too. My best reverse-engineering trophy was building one of the first "iOS" apps when there was not an official appstore for the iPhone. But man, this is wa

We already have images from the far side of the moon since the 2009's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter [1]. In theory, LRO is currently flying at lower orbit than Artemis I mission [2]. Shouldn't the LRO images be better? Maybe NASA

Why is this comment downvoted? I mean, is it downvoted because Rust is bad for embeded systems?

I owned a Hotline server back in the day. Fun times! I ran it for three full years from my student shell account at my college’s HP-UX server. It was a T3 connection so it was faaaast as hell. It got completely unnoticed by the sysadmins… u

I watched the video mentioned in the post [1], but now I’m more confused than before… What are the benefits, if any, of using gpu.cpp instead of just webgpu.h (webgpu native) directly? Maybe each is tailored for different use cases? [1] ht

Thank you. While I really want to check your hint, I won't. Since there's no way to save progress this would be my fourth attempt to play the game from the start [1]. Maybe saving status would have it make it different for me. Ple
