I mean, then you run into an issue of RAM.  All of those gamestates have to be stored somewhere if that’s the idea and even pre-rendered you’re still talking about gigs of RAM eaten up.

Oh yeah, that’s another gem I forgot about in the article and it’s generally part of the bizarre idea that “this is going to be totally perfect”, which is really overselling what I think the actual experience will be.

In the way we do it in the US, where we create a concrete duct. European nations often bury their lines directly in dirt in insulated sheathes instead which is both cheaper and less environmentally intrusive.  Why don’t we do it?  Because American utilities don’t want to pay enough staff to properly maintain our power…

This just gave me a rage aneurysm. Let’s start with this, the article rightfully points out that negative latency isn’t actually possible, which is good. Perhaps even more worth pointing out is that you don’t even technically get 0 latency on your own system, though it’s measured in time units so small you won’t even…

Except...it’s not unrestricted access, and actually what I laid out wouldn’t have been as well. This is also ignoring what is arguably the centerpiece problem of the opioid issue in America, that drug makers lied. They told doctors these opioids were less addictive (they weren’t), they lobbied Congress on the lie that…

It wouldn’t be the first time a bunch of Catholics burned a female leader.

The point of protest is to make people uncomfortable, to individually confront and consider the situation.  If some Chinese fans feel uncomfortable at BlizzCon then maybe they need to consider their stances and change them.

First, I’m sorry for your loss, heroin addiction is terrible and it sucks to see people destroy themselves. That said, there’s vidence that decriminalizing drugs and/or providing safe injection sites saves lives:

Sure, but Activision/Blizzard is not a Chinese game company, they’re an American game company. Tencent, Huawei and Alibaba are so powerful in China because they’re backed (and really controlled) by the Chinese Communist Party; there’s no way you’ll get anything more than the smallest slice of the Chinese market, both…

Huh, how’s that decision looking now Activision/Blizzard? Is killing your core market worth it to get a slice of that Chinese market?  Between this and the Diablo mobile game reveal last year, gotta say a lot of former fans (myself included) are definitely not feeling optimistic about your next game.

The ultimate fact is that the war on drugs is useless. It does very little to actually stop the flood of cocaine, heroin and other drugs into the US, it just makes them more expensive and more likely to be mixed with cheaper and even more deadly chemicals. The realistic solution is legalization and regulation, almost…

More than that, you can walk away knowing your conscience is clean and that you aren’t supporting actions you disagree with.

Another distinct possibility, for sure.

The screen readers not working properly with the Dominos website is why they’re being sued.

I am certainly sympathetic, there is something to be said that really the issue is the translation software needs to be better more than a direct issue with the Domino’s site. On the other hand, I’m very sympathetic to the idea that entire groups of people are being left out of participation in the web due to website…

This song wasn’t meant to be instructive Blizzard:

Unfortunately that wouldn’t work (from what I can tell without delving into the back end) on the Domino’s site.  Many of the menu selection options are entirely pictures, for example their menu for selecting toppings.  So even if you read off all of the toppings listed, they’re all in one picture, so that wouldn’t…

Yep, either all text goes back to being regular old text instead of pictures for a much uglier experience or you get a prompt before you go to a website asking if you want the visually impaired version of the site.

So...the crux of this from a programming standpoint is that since the Domino’s website is so visually heavy and puts most text into a picture that typical text-to-speech programs can’t read the text. To fix it, Domino’s would just have to put their text back in as...well text instead of pictures. Now, the problem with…

To be fair, there seems to be an awful lot of sex going on between superiors and subordinates in Star Trek TV shows. Torres was chief engineer and he was when she started a relationship with Paris when he was just a helmsman on Voyager, for example.
