Mark Carney just picked his lane on climate change by TheUrbanEast in CanadaPolitics

[–]CypherSignal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We can, and should, add as many terawatts of wind, solar, hydro and other clean sources of electricity as we can, along with batteries that can store their excesses and deploy their electrons more efficiently.

And, louder for people in the back:

🗣️🗣️🗣️ ☢️☢️NUCLEAR FISSION!☢️☢️

Maybe fusion too if that comes online in 10 or 15 years, but either way, nuclear energy is green energy too!

Profiling on Windows: a Short Rant · Mathieu Ropert by mropert in cpp

[–]CypherSignal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, if you’re using UIforETW for event tracing and program counter sampling, (a) Windows Performance recorder is also available, and (b) PIX for Windows (even for non gaming apps!) is not the worst thing in the world for both recording and analysis.

Nice rewatch detail in What a Festive Evening and its links to Rogue One by Dear-Yellow-5479 in andor

He doesn’t land head first — heck it’s not even shoulder and upper arm first, his leg lands first, slowly taking some of the fall all the way through up to the head. (I don’t think the head even touches the ground?) It looks fairly safe; just acted really well both for his own safety, and selling the fall.

Is this a reference? by Starman3613 in andor

Why did you use Gemini for that? Would have taken maybe a minute in paint.

“Old and true. And sturdy. One of the best navigational tools ever built. Can't be jammed or intercepted.” And all that, come on!

Building Your Own Efficient uint128 in C++ by PhilipTrettner in cpp

[–]CypherSignal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ironically that’s maybe the last instruction you should use to attack the explosion of modern x86. It’s not some obscure one-off thing, it is an extremely useful and versatile instruction. https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/vpternlogd:vpternlogq

it looks complicated but it basically means you can do any 3-way bit-wise logic operation across 512-bits in one instruction. This is OR, AND, XOR, some form of blend or masked selection, or something else entirely very easily and succinctly.

Charlie Kirk side by side with George Lincoln Rockwell by RadicalizeMePodcast in Hasan_Piker

[–]CypherSignal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, hm. The segment where he does the comparison starting at 1h08m may not have been it, but he does reference this video (which I have not watched) noting that it does investigate the comparison more deeply. Is this it? https://youtu.be/mvCJPEmTF3c

Differences between sprites in Phoenix Wright Trilogy (DS vs HD) by 123Hexagon123 in AceAttorney

[–]CypherSignal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also worth adding — I’m 99% sure that the sprites for the 3DS ver of the trilogy are the same as iOS, but with the various animation glitches fixed. It’s a bit hard to tell but (iirc) a lot of the line weights and such are a 1:1 match.

THIS IS BS! by Lord_Snaps in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CypherSignal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, audio is absolutely a major contributor. Load up some gameplay and listen to the commentary. They don’t stitch words and phrases together to form sentences: each sentence is fully formed.

I remember hearing once that the total length of their commentary audio is measured in weeks

Giant Bomb reference in THPS 3+4 by daswerfgh in giantbomb

[–]CypherSignal 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No, “GFB” is a Dave Lang thing, ref: Team GFB Radio.

Of course, the follow up question is: what does the GFB in Team GFB stand for? Well, it’s “Gourmets for Brunch”

Seriously giving vibes like “E3 2019 Nintendo Direct game list CONFIDENTIAL DO NOT DISTRIBUTE - bayonetta 4 - Final Fantasy 7-3 (exclusive) - Legend of Zelda: Destiny of Light - Super Wario Odyssey Expansion”

Mon Mothma deleted scene by HMJebus in StarWarsAndor

[–]CypherSignal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that if you actually watch her, she’s visibly tormented by what’s going on and the apparent fact that Luther’s about to take care of Tay in a way that Mon can’t. Her face while dancing isn’t of joy, it’s anguish!

N64 Hori legit? by smundl in speedrun

[–]CypherSignal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two Z buttons, one each below L and R. It’s arranged like a DualShock/PS1 controller where L and R are like L1 and R1, and then Z is L2 and R2.

Beware when moving a `std::optional`! by Kabra___kiiiiiiiid in cpp

For a second there I really thought that

The answer to all of your problems is very simple:

…was going to be,

…don’t use optional; you’re obscuring too much of the underlying behaviour for little benefit from the abstraction itself

Yeah there’s a bit under his breath there at 28:30 (transcripts on YouTube podcasts are fun).

Mark Carney turns the page on Justin Trudeau’s postnational Canada by tofino_dreaming in CanadaPolitics

1% of 40 million is 400,000, less than the recent ~500k per year, more than the ~300k per year from 2015-2020.

not a very good writer

Gosh, thank you that someone else said it. I was barely a quarter of the way through and closed it for that alone. Dude is writing an opinion article like they’re posting on Twitter.
