    That’s not an issue at all during summer. Do you really need sunlight until 22:00 at night? Right now you basically cannot be outdoors during summer nights because it’s too hot in the direct sunlight. By the time it cools down enough to be outdoors it’s already time for bed.

    The best parts of summer nights are when the sun goes down and the world finally cools down enough to be outdoors. We should move the clock an hour back in summer to get more of that. Call it Moonlight Saving Time.



  • Random cats that are brought together forcibly hate each other. They just tolerate each other because they have to.

    This has never been a problem for me. It may take a little while but they end up getting along just fine.

    Cats aren’t social animals in nature, unless they’ve been brought up together.

    Cats are actually quite social. I think this misconceptions stems from the fact that cats are solitary hunters (unlike dogs who hunt in packs). Outside hunting they have quite an active social life, which is exactly why you shouldn’t have just one cat, especially if it’s not allowed to go outside and mingle with other cats.




  • ReBAR may make things bit more efficient, but you still need to move data back and forth to VRAM over the slow PCIe bus.

    This is not a huge problem for games, as it’s mostly sending data to VRAM that stays there for a long time, but it is a major bottleneck for many GPGPU tasks.

    Since even Nvidia doesn’t seem to care about games anymore (and consoles have always used unified memory) I expect the discrete GPU to go the way of the dodo.



  • Unified memory is awesome. It lets you do things like handing over tasks to the GPU with zero overhead.

    That means you can choose whether to do something on CPU or GPU based on which is more suitable for the task. With a traditional discrete GPU with it’s own VRAM you sometimes do things on the CPU even though the GPU would be better suited as the overhead of copying data to and from VRAM would negate any performance benefits of letting the GPU do it.
