I think it's best to consider an example:

Process A spins up a worker thread for each vCPU core on the machine where it's running. When...

I've heard about moves towards networked distribution of movies to theaters, for quite a while. I think the distribution methods and probably even their...

I think that's not how it works.

The patents of concern would be those which the underlying JPEG 2000 compression infringed, which weren't...

[coder]

Maybe it wasn't an order of magnitude better than JPEG, but I think it wasn't worse.

I thought the patent claims against it basically kept...

Probably, each shader compilation is single-threaded. So, it should scale based on the number of shaders that need to be compiled (limited by available...

Fun fact: original JPEG supported up to 12-bit color. With libjpeg, it was a compile-time option - which made it uncommon, in practice.

The initial part of JPEG2000 (ISO/IEC 15444-1) - published in the year 2000, as the name implies - should be clear of patent issues. However, as the article...

So, you're saying they load some pre-determined number of assets in between screen redraws. And each redraw, you have to wait for the next vsync. That's...

[coder]

That's not accurate, generally speaking. Training an AI model requires continual validation against a test set, which is how you know the model's accuracy...

Could this be the beginning of the end of bug bounties?

I'm just reading that ProRender uses OpenCL (or Apple's Metal).

Interesting....

Hmm... I might give this a whirl and see what it can turn up. Our codebase has already been pretty thoroughly plumbed by conventional analysis tools...

It was the Torvalds "middle finger" photo. It was up for a few hours....

[coder]

Well, if the pictures are effectively click-bait (i.e. misleading and in a tantalizing way), then that's an issue that needs no further explanation....

Michael, why that pic of Linus? This isn't even a story about one of his rants. In fact, it's not really a story about Linus.

[coder]

What I can say from experience with the ASPEED 2300 is that I never experienced 2D performance so bad, since the days of software rendering using VESA...

[coder]

That's not how I read agd5f's post. It pretty clearly states that sometimes it won't work. Worse yet, software has no way of knowing whether it will....

Please explain....

The X570-D4U boards support Ryzen APUs. Of course, I'm not sure to what extent that limits BMC functionality, but it means you actually have usable graphics...

Gaming monitors don't, but more "productivity"-oriented monitors often still have a DVI-I port.

Failing that, you can use a VGA...
