You could transmit raw rgba pixels at 1920x1080 and 60 fps in less than 500 mbps.
rcme··on Most UI applications are broken real-time applications
Yes, these frameworks are fundamentally broken. Even a framework with extensive usage like React doesn’t work for real-time applications. Or at least your only option is to manipulate the DOM directly for the performant real time parts.
rcme··on Article reply “Godot is not the new Unity” from Juan Linietsky (BDFL of Godot)
And, additionally, raycasting should just work in a good game engine. “You don’t need raycasting” is a seriously weak argument.
rcme··on Studio Ghibli set to become subsidiary of Nippon TV
Undoubtably the hundreds of artists and producers working on Ghibli are extraordinarily talent. But talent isn’t genius. But I’ve come to realize talent isn’t brilliance.
rcme··on Uber Eats will start accepting food stamps for grocery delivery in 2024
Surely the delivery costs will be, at least partially, included in the cost of the goods.
rcme··on Linux gives up on 6-year LTS kernels, says they’re too much work
Maybe for a while. But when you add the maintenance burden to the code, it stays there, forever being felt. Over time, this degrades the product for everyone. And indeed, Windows can be unpleasant to use, not least of all because it feels like glued together legacy systems.
rcme··on FAA authorizes Zipline to deliver commercial packages using drones
Why would a Stanford grad care about earning a meager salary at Zipline?
rcme··on Shaving 40% Off Google’s B-Tree Implementation with Go Generics (2022)
No, my preference is the One True Preference!
rcme··on People aged 80 and over top 10% of Japan's population for first time
I always find it weird that people lament population decline. Japan still has a lot of people. Sure, that number is going down now, but you can’t look at the trend and extrapolate that number down to zero. And as the population declines, the number of resources per citizen increases. So people may be better off than before. The largest dangers to Japanese society lie in the transition period, where many elderly people will need to be supported by relatively fewer working age people.
rcme··on America's advanced manufacturing problem and how to fix it
Only within one calendar year. In your original AAPL / MSFT example, you’d need to pay taxes at the end of the year on any gains from your AAPL sale assuming that’s as your only trading activity in the year.
rcme··on Americas richest 10% is responsible for 40% of its planet heating pollution
And manufacturers have many choices in what they produce. Your answer explains why consumers have responsibility for their actions. You haven’t explained why, in your opinion, manufacturers can benefit from CO2 emissions but have zero responsibility for their choices.
rcme··on Could we burn iron for energy instead of fossil fuels?
It’s more akin to pumping water up hill at times of excess energy and then generating hydro power during times of peak power. Such a system is essentially a water battery, and the iron system would be an iron battery.
rcme··on America's advanced manufacturing problem and how to fix it
You already are taxed for this decision via capital gains taxes.
rcme··on Americas richest 10% is responsible for 40% of its planet heating pollution
Why does the responsibility solely fall on the product owner? Is it because the product owner is using the product for their own benefit? Is it not true, though, that the product manufacturer is also benefiting from the product’s usage? Why does this benefit not confer any responsibility?

Most pipes get coated with minerals so you’re not really getting much benefit from the copper.
rcme··on Everyday uses for PVC water pipe
Press fittings alleviates the need for soldering copper.
rcme··on Insiders reveal problems at Upside Foods
And heme iron?
rcme··on Lodash just declared issue bankruptcy and closed every issue and open PR
It works perfectly fine. You just copy and paste the code you need. If someone else needs it, they search the code base first, which is normal in large code bases. There are tons of different libraries that provide deep equality checks for instance. When I work in a code base, I need to search for existing solutions in the code base before adding someone new. It doesn’t matter if the functionality is provided by a first or third part library.
rcme··on static-server: an HTTP server in Go for static content
I think nginx does that too; if you send it a hup signal, it will reload the config.
rcme··on Linux on a MacBook Pro (M1 Pro): How Good Is Asahi Now?
I agree. There’s a certain freedom in the speakers working correctly, you know?

In the US, when we had a kid, we had genetic screens done for over a hundred genetic diseases. The baby’s DNA was also tested for Down’s.
rcme··on Johnny Cash Has Been Everywhere (Man)
As computer scientists, we really should assume he took the shortest path between the final set of destinations rather than travel between them sequentially.
rcme··on Bitcoin and the dangerous fantasy of ‘apolitical’ money (2013)
Is voting inherently political? Are leader election algorithms political?
rcme··on Bug in macOS 14 Sonoma prevents our app from working
But how do you verify the formal verification?
rcme··on I think I kind of hate lazy loading
But how do they know what you're looking at and how are they using this information to do anything useful? I get you can probably differentiate between text and video, but I'm having trouble understanding exactly what information they would get from your bandwidth consumption.
rcme··on I think I kind of hate lazy loading
But you also usually keep the connection alive for multiple requests.
rcme··on Deno vs. Bun vs. Node.js: A feature comparison
"Secure by default" means something. It means Deno is a more appropriate choice for running untrusted code compared to node.
rcme··on I think I kind of hate lazy loading
How are they inspecting your network traffic?
rcme··on There are now two types of PayPal dollars, and one is better than the other
