FF7 and supreme commander were complex. And devs then didn’t have the tools we have today, not to mention game engines (there were, but not like today). And ps3 was a pain to program for. And, and…

Contrary to popular opinion, i’m gonna guess graphics driver. Specifically the shader compiler.

I measured my fridge. You could, in theory. Problem is that the motor in the fridge (and in power tools) is an “induction load”, meaning it draws a lot more power in a split second when starting. Inverters have to be built with that in mind, or just stronger (killowats range).

Glitter will be a self defence weapon.

DOOM 2016. Point and click, until it is done.

Point and clicks.

You can get lower latency with vulkan then with opengl. I remember some emulators (gamecube?) talk about why they implemented vulkan.

I actually kinda like that one.

Paint, they always need paint. A lot of science went into that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_hgPinCZks

It is hard to draw conclusions without knowing much facts. How much is needed and how much is got.

They get roughly as much in donations as they spend on ff dev. They get a LOT more from google, that they spend on… bs.

You don’t have to know. It does not matter because your 8GB stick can’t fit 16 512MB files anyway. Funny enough it might fit 500MB files if it is FAT32.

Being consistent with base10 systems does not matter in real world usage. Literally nobody cared before the asshats changed it.

Edit: i also understand si, down to its history. I don’t live in an inch country. Computing is different then physical measurements. In computing 1024 is more “correct”.

It’s the size in bytes as the os sees it (and in SMART). And i do know how to use a calculator, thank you.

There is also no benefit to using 1000. Except to hdd makers.

Checked and true. 500107862016 bytes.

Still, ssds are made of n^2 chips.

SSDs are.

The mistake is thinking that a 1000 byte file takes up a 1000 bytes on any storage medium. The mistake is thinking that it even matters if a kB means 1000 or 1024 bytes. It only matters for some programmers, and to those 1024 is the number that matters.

Disregarding reality in favor of pedantics is the real mistake.

Maybe Huang should.

No, it’s just not viable. Just maintaining the vacuum is hard and takes a lot of energy. Keeping it from imploding onto the high speed train is also very hard.

It does not need experimenting, it is known already.

It is and always was a scam (or just simple stupidity, or both).

The beam is reeeealy wide by the time it gets there. Still a great achivement, though.

Nobody in europe that has an iphone uses imsg as their primary anything. Because Europe is an android dominated market.
