It's not like we invented mayonnaise

mayonnaise was not invented, it was discovered

it is an inherent and essential part of the universe

yeah i feel like carmack has been coasting for decades now. Which is as it should be, if i had that guys money i'd never touch a computer again as long as i lived, but the idea that he has some weird repuation to protect or whatever seems off to me. Dude got real rich and seemed to be a good programmer, those guys arent really in short supply around here.

dude worked crazy hours on mobile VR at Oculus, at least, squeezing perf out of every layer so that you could have 7 minutes of mediocre, poorly-tracked VR before your phone ran out of battery

(it only made it that far without thermal shutdown because we had a magic API from Samsung to disable the thermal limits; throttled down like it would after about 2 mins of play, nothing could hit frame rate targets)

it was kinda cool as a Netflix viewer though, lighter than current headsets

that’s impressive. iirc our stress test was 2500 tabs of random Wikipedia pages, but that was a decade+ ago

yeah I hadn’t realized that it was no longer an intra-SA term of endearment, and I’m glad to learn
