Wow that's actually insane with how blatent that is. I imagine shit like this has a huge effect on the politically ignorant.

Same here and with the price of GPUs, raytracing is expensive as hell for the wallet and it's straight up not a good value.

Samsung does too but I've not set it up as such. Instead, it automatically locks the device from biometric unlocks every 24 hours until you login with your pin again.

Same, it's clean, straightforward and fast unlike the shitty web wrapper that is the new Outlook. If they go ahead with this, I might actually just go ahead and start writing a clone.

Yup, it's really neat

I've been using Notepads (yes with an extra S) instead of Notepad for ages now and it's a pretty good and fast option with a nice modern design even before MS changed up Notepad.

Not to mention, Apple is able to afford the larger die size per chip since they do vertical integration and don't have to worry about the cost of each chip in the way that Intel and AMD has to when they sell to device manufacturers.

That's the placement of the sensor on Samsung's Folds and it's great.

That's actually hilarious that this outlet thought a animated video was real.

That's not really how it works actually. You got sort of the idea that ARM is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architecture but the reduction here refers more to the variety of instructions rather than amount of instructions. In fact ARM typically requires more instructions since there's less varieity.

But that really doesn't mean much in modern processor architectures since all modern processors decode assembly instructions into micro operations internally and execute them. Each instruction and their corresponding micro operations may have a different number of cpu cycles to execute so it's not something that's so easily calculatable.

The age of RISC vs CISC (x86, etc) debates has largely ended because of how modern CPUs work. The difference between instruction sets mostly just come down to the language that compilers translate to.

What do you mean by understanding the difference between instruction sets?

I'm curious to see how Valve will respond to this seeing as they have CS. I imagine they'd be interested to build a solution but I'm not sure how plausible that even is.

 

About a year back, I posted on this Reddit about a work-in-progress version of this guide to creating a C# scripting engine that uses a modern .NET back-end instead of relying on Mono. I'm happy to share that I've finished the full set of posts and hope that it'll help someone out!

Currently, the sample I have is currently targeted for Windows-only engines due to the reliance on Visual Studio and C++/CLI but I can definitely see this potentially working on other platforms using P/Invoke instead.

 

Vocalist chelly announced on Saturday that the music unit EGOIST will stop performing. The unit will hold its last live concerts in Osaka on September 23 and in Kanagawa on October 9.

Separately from the EGOIST name, chelly has already been performing under the name reche since June 2021. In Saturday's message, chelly asked fans to continue their support for her work under the reche name.
