Pat Metheny has done something similar with his orchestrion project, 12 years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYEOUKS4Yk ). At the time I went to see him perform with it in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, which was imp

It's a sad moment for gamers. He started working at Sharp, where he sold solar cell and light sensor technology, but he's best remembered for a long and highly influential run at Nintendo that effectively revived the video game in

I'll add my packages: xdoctest and mkinit as well. Also redbaron and astunparse are nice tools when doing static analysis. Great article nevertheless!

Why is everybody always so concerned with developer time, but never with user time? The author of this tool even complains about the startup time of photoshop, but somehow has no problem with building a tiny tool on Electron. The irony is q

Back in university I had a side job as a security guard in an office building, when this happened. Someone took the cargo elevator, which was built to carry a higher load than the regular elevators, so it had a massive counter weight. The t

Yeah, I can understand preparing for the job itself, e.g. brushing up on your financial knowledge when applying for an HFT job or something. But interviews and actual jobs seem to have diverged to the point that there is now somewhat of an

Sean Barrett (who I think popularized the idea) has a FAQ on this ( https://github.com/nothings/stb ) where he justifies it by pointing at difficulties with deploying libraries on Windows. Which is a fair point, but by g

If this line of thinking ever takes off, it will be just another one of those meaningless rituals you have to go through to signal that you're part of the club. Polish your resume, dress up nicely, read 'cracking the coding interv

Actually, the K80 does run OpenGL. Source: I'm building a remote rendering solution that runs on a couple of K80's, and it works just fine.

It's not about wear and tear. Brakes heat up when they're used, and descending an entire mountain on the brakes is likely to overheat them to the point where you have no braking power left at all. Not a good situation to be in on
