I guess libraries like bgfx, sokol and The Forge are kinda like that. But I just feel like it’s either all or nothing if you’re already doing your own game engine.

I’m okay with using middleware/3rd party libraries for things which I don’t care too much about (e.g. physics), but graphics is such a core component that I want to handle it myself.

In a way, OpenGL drivers were such middleware libraries written for you by GPU vendors (or open source community). But now they stopped doing that and now you’re either writing your own graphics abstraction layer or using someone else’s.

In this case, I choose the hard way. And it seemed to have worked out so far. I definitely won’t recommend it to everyone (especially if they want to make a game in less than a year!), but as a learning experience it was fun.

Khronos keeps pushing this in their promotional materials for the standard, and it's not an advantage. Now instead of vendors writing this correctly once for everyone, everyone can do it poorly. Go read a few Vulkan initialization implementations across a few repositories. It's all the same code, and some people miss portions of it here and there.

Yard tools running all day, commercial pumps and carpet cleaning vacuums in the distance (can hear them from miles away), the whine from AC compressors around the neighborhood, the resonance from the air moving through the radon piping on sides of our neighbor's houses, the CONSTANT and increasing noise from small planes, the neighbors who seem to vacuum their cars almost every other day for half the day. If my other half accidentally drops a ceramic dish on another ceramic dish my ears are ringing and painful for days.

I read this and I think that others must think that I am difficult to live with. It's not like I'm wincing all day or bitching at others to keep it down. The inside of our house is a sanctuary of silence, for the most part, after lots of trial and error with AC ducting, appliances, insulation. It's all of the other sounds that seem to sneak in through our old walls that are maddening.

Please use a sixel capable terminal, such as xterm -ti vt340, or
ask your terminal manufacturer to add sixel support.

You may test your terminal by viewing a single image, like so:

If your terminal actually does support sixel, please file a bug

I think they need minimum estimated battery time rather than battery %, since old batteries that have very little capacity remaining could still brick with a high % remaining.

Or, like most laptops, just require power cable + some level of battery to install something so critical.
The actual issue is not CPU-side. The issue is GPU-side.

The CPU feeds commands (CommandBuffers) telling the GPU what to do over a Queue.

WebGPU/wgpu/dawn only have a single general purpose queue. Meaning any data upload commands (copyBufferToBuffer) you send on the queue block rendering commands from starting.

The solution is multiple queues. Modern GPUs have a dedicated transfer/copy queue separate from the main general purpose queue.

WebGPU/wgpu/dawn would need to add support for additional queues: https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...

3 things I wish someone had told me:

- don't buy a new car. there's plenty of reliable vehicles between 5-10k that will serve you well for many years

- most banks will let you set up as many checking accounts as you want. figure out your monthly budget for bills, and automatically deposit that amount + a little extra to a separate "bills" checking account. autodraft all your bills from that account

- be careful with credit cards!

where did I say circumstances excuse bad behaviour? Morality exists I agree, and personally yes, I don't think there's a transfiguration of what morality is based entirely on circumstance. One wouldn't affect the other, and moral relativism is often just a way to do terrible things. Let's assume morality is a fixed line.

However, no matter how moral a person is, they are never perfect and they faulter. Judging a person independent of this human condition isn't fruitful, the point a person is at can shift on that fixed line. Murderers can reform and Kings can become murderers.

So we need to be vigilant of circumstances that allow for people to lean in to that corruption. A moral king isn't necessarily going to be moral forever. And unless we have purity checks, we really can't select the morals from the immorals when it comes to matters such as this. Doing so would also be pretty presumptuous too.

Now I may be misinterpreting you. And if so please correct me, maybe we actually agree (and I'm beginning to suspect we truly might) and this is just the nature of async back and forths. If so, apologies in advance.

I think they XOR together two different sections of code, scrolling in different directions.

Controlled-access freeways (interstates, motorways, autobahns) have much lower accident rates per mile than other roads with lower speed limits and more distractions.

Of course, the two broad categories of road largely serve different purposes, so one can't go around replacing side streets with freeways, either.

It is until it suddenly isn't. Just because it's very far out still and any timelines mentioned are wrong, doesn't make it 'pure BS'. It very much has been the goal of SpaceX from the day it was founded to encourage human travel to Mars, and we're getting closer every day.
Okay so startup capital aside, you like PoW because there's an ongoing cost to participating in consensus and don't like how PoS is more or less free.

I'm not sure how you arrived at this when your initial complaint was the rich get richer with PoS. PoW has much higher costs to participate and after a few years you have more costs when you need to upgrade your mining rigs because they're either burnt out or outcompeted by newer hardware.

Same here with a i5-4570. Despite being ten years old (except for an SSD upgrade six years ago), in comparison a current mid-range PC is only 2-2.5 times as fast in single-core performance, and you don’t really feel that for office-style work and web browsing.
To be fair some of these are subjective. People of course should never sell their opinions as objective or facts. Which btw, I don't think the person you responded to did.

> Starliner’s docking has not gone smoothly, the spacecraft developed trouble with its reaction control system thrusters
The most mind-blowing moment, not only for De La Mata but the scientists too, came when they managed to actually record the sounds that she heard in her ears – which now appear as ‘Left Ear’ and ‘Right Ear’ which begin sides A and B on the album – and in doing so opened up questions about the nature of tinnitus itself. “The NHS definition is that it’s a phantom sound that your brain is creating, that it isn’t something ‘real’, so you should try to ignore it.” By having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal, they were able to provide significant evidence to the contrary. “After the first recording of it, it was ‘There’s no way, this isn’t possible.’” They tried again with her breath held, and again with her tensing her ears, and again with other members of staff, but each time it became apparent that yes, the noises De La Mata hears are seemingly something physical.

Utterly fascinating. I hope more research comes of this.

> But, I will say that I think Microsoft is following Apple more here.

Oh, yes. It's bad that the two biggest desktop OS vendors seem to be working in lock-step against user choice. Apple always seems to do it first, then Microsoft copies it in a more extreme, yet hamfisted way.

Apple also nags you to upgrade the OS, but they do it subtly, in a notification that is annoying but not that intrusive and it's dismissible. Microsoft barrels in and says "Hey, I wanna do that too!" but instead throws up trashy full-screen popups and "warnings" to the user (as if the user is a naughty puppy).

Apple really wants you to have an Apple ID, too, and has various subtle ways of reminding you just how much of a sad person you are for not having one. Microsoft then comes barreling in with "Hahah! We're going to FORCE you get a Microsoft ID, and require you to use it to log in to your own PC! Howbout that!?"

> Being a neurodiverse, or more commonly known "on the spectrum", is a guaranteed way to get bullied (or worse) by your peers who are not.

Is it? Hardly. I have been diagnosed, but was never bullied. I don't bully my neurodiverse peers, and I think new generations are, in some cases, more kind than our predecessors in this particular area.

I think unkindness towards neurodiversity is a particular facet of particular societies, and not a general aspect of the human organism.

I changed the URL of the current post (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40587079) because the haaretz.com article seemed better than the forbes.com one. Normally we would do it the other way, as you mentioned - we'd move the comments to the submission with the better article. But in this case I didn't want to reward that submitter because their pattern of submissions was clearly breaking HN's guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40587097. So I did it the other way.

Depending on the job, this might be (somewhat) reasonable. I'd assume that one could still get hired even if one failed that particular question, but showed some sense of understanding about the problem space.

For many problems, someone tackling it might not even understand that there is a problem, and might have no clue where to start searching for answers.

I've seen many developers who burn a crazy amount of hours by going down the wrong path, and then try to StackOverflow or Google their way out of the mess they initiated. It takes experience (either gained or learned) to avoid such traps.

Then again, it really depends on the job. The interview question suggests this was not for a CRUD job, though :)
