I remember when this was first announced a few years ago - great to see its progress. It's amazing that visual display tech has advanced so far in 100 years that one can't see the pixels, yet haptic display tech is so primitive that the best displays are only capable of dozens of pixels. It goes to show that motivation and money are what drive tech innovation, not fundamental physical constraints.
Which is why I said personally that is where they will fall. Just from looking at leaks and the same source of the RX Fury leaks it seems like that is where it will be.
They're treated as independent compute units and the host program load-balances compute work between them. You can even do P2P memory copy or access between your CUDA devices without going through the CPU. See https://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/116711/sc11-multi-gpu.pdf for a high-level overview.

I came a bit too late to the party.

While I get the 140char limit, and they should stick with that, having something like a 10k limit that was only shown when the tweet is expanded, is, in my perspective, essential [for someone that comes from FB the 140 char limit is ludicrous bad UX]. I get that longer formats should go on something like medium, but asking people to change websites to do that is ludicrous. It's putting the barrier too high for the input of content.

I know that the shareholders of Twitter that also are medium's wouldn't be happy with the lifting of that limit, yet, for those read on:

Regardless of feasibility (as they are two distinct companies) more than 140characters would transform itself on a medium post and commentaries and highlights could become tweets.

That's one of the two suggestions that I think would help twitter improve a lot. Enough of texts as image and other crappy UX
> The most recent AAA titles often favour more cores, as also the consoles are 8C nowadays [1] And in case you do more than gaming, i'd always take the 8C/16T over a 4C/8T for the same amount of money, even if it's 10-15% slower in single threaded workloads.

Really ? That contradicts everything I've ever heard and experienced myself.

At least until really recently, games where still massively dependent on the single threaded speed since all the graphic stuff was single threaded (because of DX<12 or OpenGL). Did this already change thanks to the newest graphic API (DX12 / Vulkan) ? Last time I checked, the adoption was still pretty low, it's really good news if the landscape is changing quickly. Or is it something else ?
That looked a bit like blogspam, or whatever the word it. It wasn't very information-dense, anyway.

The manufacturer seems to be here: http://fingerson.strikingly.com/. I guess it's a smart watch since it pairs over BT with a cell phone, and can show notifications from the phone. It can show the current time without a phone connection, yay. No custom installable apps on the watch itself as far as I could see, but perhaps something can be done through the phone, too.

Can somebody please explain how they count their Braille cells? From reading Wikipedia, a "cell" should be 2x3 dots. The site says the watch has 4 cells, but it clearly has more than 2x3*4 = 24 dots; I count 30. Also the middle cell seems to be split by the vertical line? Very confusing.
That is the the real test beyond technical jargon and If someone provides a working example that works over different protocols as you have suggested that will be end of discussion :)

In your version, only a quarter of the <living> population has been infected at some point since you have 15 infected out of 65 living people.

Its a bit of a mixed bag. Just getting them set up tends to be pretty iffy; they tend to rely on lots of sockets, which I gather aren't actually implemented by WSL.

In terms of performance once they are up and running, things are actually pretty decent. The biggest bottleneck appears to be I/O, which is kind of a problem for everything WSL. That part makes installing a gig+ desktop package frustrating as it takes way longer than it should.

The funny thing is the types of issues I get with WSL are also had by people using actual Linux. And there's no compositing.

Final answer: Full Linux DEs run as well on Windows today as they ran on Linux in 2007.
An interesting take on this is in the Culture series from Iain M. Banks. The AI minds, who for all intents run the Culture civilisation, constantly spawn virtual universes to test hypothesises.

Some shut them down after running the sim, some feel morally obliged to keep them running...

Also, if someone's suddenly jerking the strings in a game, it usually means they're bored and it's only a matter of time before they press one of the "godzilla invades", "aliens attack", "mass-tornados" buttons.
You're just supporting my argument and weakening REST's case.

I see people say this, and I disagree. And just for clarity, I'm definitely pro-drug legalisation - even of drugs I never want to be in the same room with.

I think drug companies are precisely the sort of place to produce medical-grade LSD (and other therapudic "recreational" drugs) that has predictable dosages. Same goes for cannabinoids in pill form - especially the sorts meant for folks that would rather skip the high. Someone will need to supply mental health & addiction centers with this. And I think the sale of which will be basically on-par with at least generic anti-depressants. It won't replace anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds, however. While some folks find improvements in such treatments, it can also make the symptoms worse. It isn't a cure-all, but rather an important alternative and/or addition to current drug treatments. Of course, this is all assuming folks have a clinical setting and that "big pharma" enters this section of the market.

This isn't saying that the war on drugs isn't something about money, but I highly doubt it is big pharma. In fact, considering some of the horror stories about medical treatment in prisons, it might actually be a positive for them even if they don't enter the market as those folks would theoretically get "normal" medical treatment. In contrast, private and public prisons have a huge network of suppliers. Companies and the government hire inmates to do work at very low labor costs. These folks have much more to lose from the end of the drug war.

text editors and command line scripts seem like a backwards step.
Perfectly valid question. You are right, while there is a high chance that UE and Unity will be maintained, there is no guarantee. In any single person project, especially noncommercial, the chance it will not be maintained is much higher and Lumix Engine is not an exception. The only "proof" that it will be maintained is that I already worked on this 4+ years (as you can see on github) and that I'm making a commercial game with the engine.

If someone is not prevented by something (personal preference, license issue, features) there is no reason to use Lumix Engine rather than UE/Unity. UE/Unity should be the right option for 95% of developers.
Lack of GC in WASM would make that difficult right now.

But yes, that's the future I'd like to see. Browsers only have a WASM engine, and provide a JS->WASM compiler client-side for backwards compatibility.

- Unexpected things are happening, like Trump being elected president and some long-odds movie winning an Oscar.

- If we are living in a simulation, this behaviour is easily explained as some kind of glitch.

- Therefore, we are living in a simulation.

5 of the Most Common SEO Mistakes Made by Web Designers
Just as you were writing this, my WinBook Pro [1] locked up solid, for the first time ever. And it happened while I was cropping a photo of myself and blew it up on the second display. I think the self-referentiality of this was too much for the poor thing to bear.

After a hard reset, Windows 10 gave its very first BSOD. I knew it must be bad memory, a failing SSD, or corrupted software.

But one more boot and the machine is humming along as if nothing ever happened. A disk check shows no errors.

Truly, something strange is in the air.

I quickly made a backup, of course. I just hope the backup drive is in a different universe, because I'm not sure how much I trust this one any more.

I came here to post "Don't be a dick", but glad to see that someone already has it covered.

Throughout my career, I have worked with countless people that were happy to piss off others to get stuff done, and while it might get something done in the short-term, it damages them in the long term.

It doesn't matter how junior they are right now, that junior developer you shat all over might be the senior developer that tells the MD not to hire you when you rock up for an interview after being made redundant. That contractor you tried to short-change over a delivered piece of work might be the reason why you are struggling to hire people with similar skills, or the reason why a company is keen to pursue you for not delivering. That person you harassed at work might be the reason why people keep leaving your company.

All of these scenarios has happened to me in the last five years, and I'd say that my career has been shaped by the experienced of others. I'd also say that it shapes the career of many people. Hell, you only need to see the recent issues at Uber to see a company that will fail to attract top talent, and employees that will struggle to work in any team with previous co-workers.
Honestly, I'm surprised it took so long to get to this point. The directory has been declining in usefulness for the last decade or so to be honest.

And that's all because they can't seem to attract enough editors to keep it relevant. I mean, look at the games listing there, then drill down to consoles. Notice anything off?

Yeah, all the subcategories are from circa 2006. That area of the site is so poorly maintained that they don't even list categories for the 3DS, Vita, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch.

And that's the case with a lot of categories now. The TV section doesn't seem to have an easy to find category for Game of Thrones or the Walking Dead. The US presidents one doesn't have a category for Donald Trump (though it still has one for him as a candidate elsewhere). Basically, most of the site's categories are just woefully outdated, with the sites found in them not being much better.

The DMOZ has just been too infrequently updated and poorly maintained to really be useful for people nowadays.

So yeah, not surprising they had to call it quits. A site which doesn't have relevant information for most people just isn't worth keeping around.

Indeed, I only implemented OGL on Windows so I do not have to switch to Linux to implement some rendering feature/new shader. I do that mostly on Windows, because I am the most efficient there, and only test the result on Linux.
Relax and answer will come . If you can not make decision - just stop thinking about it for few days(if it's possible, of course). Answer will come from where you can not expect.
I had an idea similar to this back in the day. The patch panel rack was getting out of control cable-wise. We could order custom cables in multiples of 2ft but I wanted more precision.

I dreamt of starting a small company to make patch cables to within a 1 inch tolerance. Customer could choose A or B pattern, color of cable, if it had that little boot on it or not and of course, a very specific length. We'd cut and assemble everything by hand, test the cables then wrap and ship them out.

I abandoned it because it just seamed like soooo much work if it actually got any traction.

I was going to comment something similar. I'll add this, however. Some MS patients also suffer with muscle spasticity - basically a muscle that stays contracted. This can be painful and limit mobility: At best it is uncomfortable. Normal treatment includes things like Valium.

In tests with cannabis, patients reported improvements with both mobility and the amount of pain/discomfort. However, when researchers measured the spasticity there was no clinical improvement. Both were true - it seems sometimes all folks need to do is not be so bothered by their daily pains.
IT does what it says on the tin; it's a password manager. However synchronisation is extra (I use sync to sync the file, and because I'm on iOS I have to manually import the file into the app).

The recommended iOS app (MiniKeepass) doesn't support Touch ID to unlock the database (a PITA with a long master password, which I already have to unlock my device), so I'm using keepass touch, which is a MiniKeepass fork, but with ads, and they've been ignoring my requests for source code (MiniKeepass is GPL).

Browser integration is a pain; you haveto install an extension to Keepass, and then to your browser, and set them up correctly. Steps are at [0]

It works, but is a lot more hassle (which as a result means I'm more likely to skip it and use an insecure password) than Lastpass was.

The new APIs (Vulkan, DX12, Metal) are mostly about performance. I can't think of any major thing that you can't implement in WebGL. But, a portable 3d API would be awesome for native apps. And, why not have that be the 3d API for the web too? Like WebGL / OpenGL ES 2.
I wonder why this is getting downvotes. There is a lot of insight about the situation in the linked comment.
Recently, Khronos has been also implementing some of the infrastructure, like the Vulkan loader and validation layers, the GLSL-to-SpirV compiler (glslang) and the SpirV tools which are open source and developed by LunarG and others.

The actual driver parts are written by hardware vendors (IHV's in Khronos-speak) but there's a push to put less stuff in the drivers and more stuff that is common to all vendors.

Not sure about this project, though. Looks to me like an effort to get the relevant parties discuss this in GDC and see what comes up.

When looking at the advancements in GPUs these days, where are the improvements coming from? Are they just throwing more silicon at the problem? Is it process improvements? Smarter design? All of the above? Can we expect these advancements (and cost reductions) to continue, or how far away are we from the wall that CPUs have hit?
AMD demonstrated Vega running Doom 4 with an FPS counter a while ago, and it was running about 10% faster than a stock GTX1080 (non-ti) or on par with an overclocked GTX1080.

Doom 4 performs unusually well on AMD cards compared to other games, so on average Vega is probably similar to a stock GTX1080. Which leaves them with no answer to the 1080ti :(

You can't get any games above like 30 fps on 4K monitors even without maxing out graphics options on a $350 card today. Add multiple monitors... slows to a crawl. You can hear the fans working to keep up with non-gaming tasks...

While I do feel like noticeable CPU performance enhancements have mostly plateaued, I think we are 4-5 years away from affordable and good 4K graphics cards. The choices on the market at present aren't all that amazing. You either pay a lot for meh, or a fortune for acceptable.

Nothing on the market today is like, "OMG it handles anything we throw at it without breaking a sweat..." And that's fine... it's usually 2-3 years after a game comes out that I can run it at max settings.

AWS provide free tier usage, so that may be a good place to get some experience. Spin up some instances, provision your own web servers, database and load balancer with ansible.

If this is the nvidia/smi research you are referring too, well it seems nice but without details, specifically dynamic performance, and there is reason to be sceptical of how good it is.

The field of view of current consumer HMDs is too narrow for there to be a big saving compared to the downside. As you move to larger FOV displays the brain will start doing more saccades (rapid step changes in viewpoint[1]) and the response time of the image generator and eye tracker is too slow to generate more pixels at the right spot. It's much more effective to just render the whole thing at the maximum possible resolution. There has been promising research on rendering at a reduced update rate or reduced geometry in low interest areas of the scene[2].

Also, eye tracking is a massive pain in the ass.
