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

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.
