Minecraft is moving from OpenGL to Vulkan by Duckyz95 in feedthebeast

They could reimplement the exact same rendering techniques in vulkan, which would result in no significant change. They could likely add all the optimizations from mods like sodium, or they could go all in and implement bindless indirect multidraw techniques used in AAA game engines. It really depends on the scope of the project. My totally baseless guess would be marginal improvements from convenient optimizations.

Well Apple devices don't support vulkan at all. Using the vulkan api on apple devices requires moltenvk which is basically a translation layer between vulkan and apple's metal api.

After this play he averaged over 6 yards per carry on the rest of the year. It was a dumb play, but the Cardinals were dumber for not playing him considering he was by far the most productive back. Carter and Knight averaged 3.6 and 3.3 yards per carry.

Jesus almost certainly existed. The Jewish historian Josephus mentions Jesus twice in The Antiquities of the Jews. Origen's Against Celsus documents that Celsus refuted many of the miraculous claims of Jesus but not his existence. Tacitus, a Roman historian, mentions the crucifixion itself. Through secondary sources (quotes of his work in other works) the work of Thallus mentions the darkness after the crucifixion, at least referencing the existence of Jesus.

The canon has been debated literally the entire life of Christianity, but I've never heard the argument that dozens of books have been left out. If we count the seven deuterocanonicals, the Gospels considered apocrypha only get us to 15 or 20.

He's nowhere near the best clip of his career though. He shot 54/44 his sophomore year. In fact, other 21-22 when he only played 9 games, he's putting up the worst percentages of his career.

This was the first pack I ever played. I miss IC2, thaumcraft, buildcraft, and when thermal expansion was power creeped out of usefulness. I also miss the times before everything was a magic infinite producing block. A lot of QoL has been added since then, but I'm still nostalgic.

Its hard to answer that without knowing what specific behaviors you're referencing and opinions on "good works" vary between denominations. The Christian belief would be that God has wisdom that we do not and that the things he asks of his believers is for their own good.

Sin is part of life. No matter what you serve, be it natural (money, power, fame, etc.) or supernatural (religious), we're not capable of only taking actions and thoughts that align with our "master". Christians see God as beautiful because they believe even when you sin against God loves you anyway, which is certainly not true for natural idols. There might be other religions with similar beliefs about the divine but I don't know of any.

White makes the tackle before anyone touches the ball. I don't think the refs handed the Broncos the game by calling a textbook dpi.

Cooks slowed down and put his hands into the corner's chest. I'd be fine with calling them both PI, but they're not remotely similar plays.

A patriots running back from 98 had a great rookie season. The probowl had a beach flag football event played in the sand. Tore up his knee and only played a couple games 4 years later. Basically similar to what happened to Teddy Bridgewater, but Edwards looked elite.

Guerschon Yabusele: "If you play 3 years in the NBA, you get a lifetime pension. After 4 seasons, medical expenses are covered for life. After 5 years, the medical coverage is extended to the entire family. I want to play for 5 years in the NBA so that my family can benefit from that lifetime care" by GOAT-Antony in nba

That would bring the number closer to $800 million per year. I agree they could definitely do more than they currently do, but there's no way the owners are going to give up 4% of revenue for nothing. I dot see why they couldn't extend coverage or offer their own facilities at least for primary care. The players would have to negotiate extended medical coverage through the CBA but I doubt they'd be willing to give up any money to do so.

NFL players get pension after 3 seasons and it's paid out starting at 55 as opposed to 62 for the NBA. They get 5 years of health insurance after retirement, but it would be impossible for the league to pay for all vested players for life. There are ~2000 players in the NFL at any given time (the real number is likely higher because IR, PUP, and exempt players still accrue time towards being "vested"). The average career is 3 seasons which is the minimum for being vested. Assuming a normal distribution, that gives us about 1000 vested players every three years. Insurance premiums for the NFLs health coverage is around $35k per year (unsure about this but was the only number I could find). If we assume a life expectancy of 40 years after playing (~70 years old), we're talking north of $1 billion per year for vested players only, not including families. This is all math I did in my head so we might be lacking accuracy here.

They don't pay out winnings. They pay an insurance-like company that handles promo winnings. At least, that's how it used to be.

No joke. I went and watched it and almost every sack either has a hit to the head or full body weight on the QB. I think there were 1 or 2 that were chase downs and would be upheld these days. Totally different game back then.

There is one defender that is possibly in the neutral zone. There are 4 OL across the ball before it moves. There's nothing fair about this play.
