That's what I assume based on how they describe the benchmark. But personally I would be more interested in input latency.

You still need to set up an LSP server, so not exactly out-of-the-box. Something like clangd or ccls for C/C++.

Portal was released on the Switch, so presumably they do have some sort of relationship.

Newspapers, magazines, cable TV, product placement in films, ... even if you're paying you can definitely still be the product.
Not Apple per se, but NeXT was pretty important in the development of the early web as I understand it. The first web browser / editor (WorldWideWeb) ran on their platform.

Is this similar to the virglrenderer project? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/virgl/virglrenderer
They did add GBM support, for what it's worth https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-495.29.05-Linux

I've made the mistake of trying to add an extra statement to a one-line if and forgetting to add a block too many times. Although now GCC has -Wmisleading-indentation which should catch that.

They could have used a comma for floats, as is common in many non-English-speaking countries. Although I guess that might become ambiguous with its use as a parameter separator.
It's still not really clear to me what the difference is between the two. The wikipedia page seems to use the terms interchangeably. What does it mean if a brand is listed as "GMP" but not "cGMP" or vice-versa?
I was totally expecting it to be a quote from a Gibson novel or something.

> There's Muana Kea, which is the _tallest_, meaning the furthest distance from the mountain's base to its peak.

I had thought Denali in Alaska held this honor, but apparently the base of Mauna Kea is considered to be the ocean floor which makes it taller. Interesting.

It's a reference to the film A Clockwork Orange (also where the name "viddy" comes from). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LudovicoMalcolmMcDow...

I would think feeding corn to a human is more energy-efficient than turning it into biofuel and burning that in an engine, although now I'm curious exactly how the two compare.
I'm excited to see more cool projects like this based on the Framework mainboard.

You can replace the default web view, although I believe it requires root access. I've been using https://www.bromite.org/system_web_view for a while and it works pretty well.

I'm pretty sure it does. I don't see any adds in Google search with uBlock Origin installed.
There are also algae-based EPA / DHA supplements.
The "Pinto Memo" [1] being a notable example. Although, as the article says, the cost / benefit analysis was against "societal costs" of the safety issues, not just the cost of litigation.

Hardly anyone is making compact pickups anymore. Even models that used to be in that class (e.g. Tacoma, Ranger) seem to have gotten a lot bigger over the past 10 years. I find it disappointing, I always thought they were a great compromise between fuel efficiency while still retaining most of the utility of a regular truck.
Re:South Africa is running out of Marmite on Wednesday April 20, 2022 @11:58AM (#31098853)
They both have a similar savory / umami flavor, but Marmite is much, much more intense and also quite salty unlike nutritional yeast.

As I'm sure any Minecraft player has experienced.
If you access the website from a mobile browser it will nag you at every opportunity to switch to the app. It's quite annoying, so I wouldn't be surprised if most people give up.
