As I see it, the current state of graphics API is worse now than the OpenGL era, despite its promises none of the modern API's are easier to use, truly portable and cross platform.
Having to reinvent OpenGL by creating custom wrappers around Vulkan, Metal, DirectX12, etc is such a time waster as dropping strings and going back to raw char arrays in the name of performance on every modern language.
Disgusting company: Uber takes 70% cut from rider's fare, drivers made only 30% on top of that Uber place those stolen earnings in the driver's tax report, not on them.
That's why all of the bootlicking wording from employees now makes me puke:
"teamwork" "passionate about my work" "making an impact" "standups" "going above and beyond"... all of that is bs.
Go to work, collect a paychech and leave as early as possible. Reserve teamwork for your group of friends, passion for your hobbies, raising a family or having fun out of work.
And never, ever give them 2 weeks notice. When you find a better job, just walk away and email them when you are at home. Fire the company that will not give you 2 weeks notice for layoffs.
Why this does not surprise me? every attempt to rewrite a working solution to make it more "modern, easy to maintain and future proof" rarely do so. It always end up slower, with more latency and lifted by faster hardware, not by faster software.
Every 20 years a new generation comes weaker, pampered with the abtsractions of the previous generations who did the grunt work for them. After 3 generations of software developers all we have is library/framework callers and nobody really knows about performance and optimization.
Only wishful thinkers GenZ, pro cubans Biden's functionaries will rule out Russia's or Chinese directed attack with the authorization of Castro's dictatorship. They are explicit enemies of the U.S, allways conspiring and spying against it.
In Cuba if you fart, the CDR, UJC, PCC, MTT, FMC and several other communist organizations to control the people will know and assign spies to you. The USA embassy in Cuba is the main target of the Cuban intelligence and has spies all around the buildings and where the functionaries live, what they ate, who they talk to, what they poop, everything!. They are constantly been watched by the cuban government. Do you really think this will go on unnoticed?
No thanks, we dont need fancy "fluent UI", "Material Me", "scalable" web based UIs for serious, professional software. The examples given by the author are exactly peak GUI, what came after is the gammification of it.
The ΛCDM model always felt "wrong" in my gut: dark matter? dark energy? is just the modern equivalent of the aether theory.
The fact that is more complex to calculate is not an excuse to prefer the ΛCDM model. The God's theory is even simpler as it spares of any math and physics, yet we do not use it.
Cuba's dictatorship does the same blackmailing its immigrants in U.S to spy for them, and using immigration waves to insert hundreds of its "agents" into the country.
I think is to take advantages of tax loopholes and deductions are the main reason they keep the non-profit. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
at this level of wealth the philantropism "incentives" must be bigger than the "money" given away.
I'll wait for the new gen of developers to re-discover WYSIWYG cross-platform GUI frameworks such as C++ Builder / Lazarus / Delphi like we had in the 90s
Great, as if we needed more outsourcing, I cannot even get a single interview despite being an ex FAANG software developer, unemployed for more than a year. Not even for entry level jobs. The final nail in the coffin.
Don't be, physics laws miss interpretation are very quick to correct with a reality check. I'm more worried for kids that have to learn how the world works trough a screen. Just let them play outside and interact with other kids and nature. Let them fall and cry, and scratch and itch, it will make them stronger and healthier adults.
One nice side effect of having GUI builders in the IDE was standarized, optimized and "follow best practices" GUIs. No wonder we reached peak UI in the 90's-2000.
Then came the web and everyone and their mom had an opinion on how a button should look (for games that's fine) and we ended up here.
Honest question:
It is calim that software rasterizer is faster than hardware one. Can someone explain me why? isn't the purpose of the GPU to accelerate rasterization itself?
Unless is a recent algorithm or the "software rasterizer" is actually running on the GPU and not the CPU I don't see how
Choose your poison: sugar is worse, and no sugar is miserable. You'll die anyway, enjoy whatever you want, however you want, whenever you can. It makes no difference in the grand scheme of things.
And BTW is not the 10% only, is around the 20%, close to 2 million cuban's has left in this last 2 years. Everyone is escaping that sinking ship.
The government is fully militarized and even complaining about your kid's food can land you in jail for 10 years.
I'm one of them, the Cuban dictatorship has gotten worse over years and more brutal, the cuban government is the enemy of its own people and asphyxiates any piece of freedom we have there. Is not the U.S or any other country but pure malice of the government that do not want to give up the power and sacrifices a whole country if necessary to remain there.
The amount of ignorance (bought the dictatorship propaganda) and even malice of foreigners commenting about cuba here (because Cuba has been always the flag of the Left) is staggering.
they will keep getting "confused" by older-than-expected objects because the premise is wrong to begin with: the universe is not 13 billion years old, the universe is infinite and eternal.
As they should. Speculating with housing is as disgusting as speculating with healthcare, the fact that is normalized in countries such as USA makes it not less disgusting.
