Superfest was a brand of ion-exchange toughened drinking glasses. Ion-exchange toughened glass was invented by Steven Kistler in the 1960s, and commercialised by Corning shortly after.
Gorilla Glass is essentially the same thing, and it (or similar products from other manufacturers) is on nearly every smartphone and tablet sold today, so in some sense it's more widespread than it has ever been.
Another reason it might not have caught on for drinking glasses is (aside from being much more expensive to produce), when it breaks it shatters into a huge number of _sharp_ shards, whereas tempered glass shatters into mostly blunter cubes. You can get tempered glass drinking glasses at IKEA.
The approach some JS projects have taken is to use Husky, which automatically sets up the git hooks when you install the project's dependencies during development.
No. What it can affect though is the bandwidth of the cable, meaning e.g. for HDMI cables, they might not support higher resolutions or framerates. If it's on the border you might see random disconnects or screen blanks.
The quality degrading is not something you will see, as it's a digital protocol.
"Audiophile grade" HDMI cables are likely to just be a Shenzhen bargain-bin special with some fancy looking sheathing and connectors. I would trust them less than an Amazon Basics cable.
With EVs, most of your charging should be done at home, with fast charging mostly just existing for trips.
I know not everyone can charge at home (especially if you live in an apartment), but the solution to that is pretty straightforward and a lot more convenient compared with trying to scale up fast charging to match petrol stations.
From my understanding, the new CT machines are able to characterise material composition using dual-energy X-ray, and this is how they were able to relax the rules.
There are definitely use cases. Pis have lower power consumption than NUCs. This is the main reason I went for one to run Home Assistant rather than a NUC.
I have a NAS/home server that I could put it on but I don't want my home automation going down when I tinker with it.
If you don't want anything to do with EA, Konami ain't much better. They actively sabotage their former employees job prospects.
> One employee from a staffing agency said that Konami "files complaints to gaming companies who take on its former employees," causing one game company to "warn its staff against hiring ex-Kon" - "ex-Kon" being a nickname for ex-Konami employees. "If you leave the company, you cannot rely on Konami's name to land a job," one former employee said.
Rust is already making substantial inroads in browsers, especially for things like codecs. Chrome also recently replaced FreeType with Skrifa (Rust), and the JS Temporal API in V8 is implemented in Rust.
One aspect of Transmeta not mentioned by this article is their "Code Morphing" technique used by the Crusoe and Efficeon processors. This was a low level piece of software similar to a JIT compiler that translated x86 instructions to the processor's native VLIW instruction set.
Similar technology was developed later by Nvidia, which had licensed Transmeta's IP, for the Denver CPU cores used in the HTC Nexus 9 and the Carmel CPU cores in the Magic Leap One. Denver was originally intended to target both ARM and x86 but they had to abandon the x86 support due to patent issues.
