Still alive and kicking. You just need to know where to look.

PS6 will be written in Rust.

Case in point: don't choose a hobby that can be taken away from you on the whims of some dickhead Google exec.

>But math never decreed that sine and cosine have to take radian arguments!

Ummm, actually it did. The Taylor-series of sine and cosine is the simplest when they work with radians. Euler's formula (e^ix = cosx + isinx) is the simplest when working with radians.

Of course you can work in other units, but you'll need to insert the appropriate scaling factors all over the place.

"Turns" don't generalize to higher dimensions either. With radians you can calculate arc length on a circle by multiplying with the radius. This extends naturally to higher dimensions: a solid angle measured in steradians lets you calculate surface area on a sphere by multiplying with the radius. How do you do the same with "turns" on a sphere? You can't in any meaningful way.

That's not really ray-tracing. That's just regular GPU rendering with physically-based materials and some ray-tracing effects for extra chrome.

Any non-trivial project would quickly reach RLIMIT_NOFILE as inotify is non-recursive, so you'd need to open a new fd for each monitored file.

This guy is very smart!

The fedora-tipping is strong in this one.

Step 1: nearly bankrupt your country

Step 2: sell out your country to wealthy foreigners to "stimulate the economy"

Step 3: act surprised that you can't afford living in your country, that got sold out to wealthy foreigners

PinePhone couldn't even create a phone that can make voice calls properly like a Nokia 3310, yet you're envisioning them beating Apple (!) with rolling out some futuristic technologies.

Lol! You're pretty unhinged.

Ok, but it Czechia by and large you have Czech people paying for the welfare of other Czech people. On the other hand in the US, you would have mostly white and asian people paying for the welfare of mostly blacks and latinos. No wonder they don't want such a system. Like it or not, solidarity needs kinship, especially when it's your money on the line.
