Patema Inverted is in the league there, graphics wise. It's crazy how nobody had ever tried the idea of the character pov of falling towards the sky. The immersive feeling is real and genius.
Well, yes, rsync to replace scp. Sftp's also regarded a hack anyway imho.
The write-only scp intrigues me. I guess it's not hard to write a program to do that. But, right, that's not easy with standard tools only. The Linux file system was also not designed for that (although it doesn't prohibit such software) I guess.
The blog is flawed. 33MB is likely no problem for the web. It's just that Google Docs devs haven't cared about that size probably because hardly anybody creates a huge doc on their platform. Or maybe his dad created a complicated doc file that G Doc failed to parse.
That's different from us devs losing efficiency from our deployment platform.
This is cool, but the government wouldn't be keen on updating the cables, would they? You'd be locked in to whatever cable the local government can afford.
Tbf Vulkan is not intended for an endprogrammer. It is a deliberately low level standardization to allow directly control GPU hardware. The high-level approach (OpenGL) failed. The endprogrammer is supposed to use a third party middleware, not Vulkan itself.
