Naja es gibt ja schon einen Unterschied zwischen der Verschlüsselung und der Authentifizierung bei TLS.

Die Zertifikate sind für die Prüfung der Authentizität notwendig (also dass der Server tatsächlich der ist, der er behauptet zu sein) und da kann man durchaus berechtigt diskutieren, dass nicht alle Organisationen, die solche Zertifikate ausstellen, auch vertrauenswürdig sind.

Die Verschlüsselung, um die es hier geht, ist aber trotzdem eine gute Sache und hat nichts mit Sicherheitstheater zu tun. Die sorgt nämlich dafür, dass niemand mitlesen kann, was zwischen dir und dem Server am anderen Ende hin und her geschickt wird. Ist zwar nur begrenzt sinnvoll, wenn man besagtem Server ohne o.g. Authentifizierung nicht immer trauen kann, aber das tut der Nützlichkeit der Verschlüsselung selbst keinen Abbruch.

is sort of essentially blockchain without the decentralized ledger part

So a [Merkle tree](http://www..com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree)?

Für die ersten 250.000, die mit einem NFT kommen. Es gibt daneben auch noch eine Auflage von 800.000 Exemplaren mit demselben Motiv, die wie gehabt zum Nennwert gekauft werden können.

Many debuggers (at least in the Java world, which is what I'm working with for a living) support more advanced features like only triggering the breakpoint if a certain condition is reached or only every X hits of the breakpoint.

Also, if you try and debug using print in the main game loop, wouldn't that write so much to console/log that it's effectively unreadable?

I recently discovered Manic Miners, a remake of 1999's Lego Rock Raiders, and ever since I've been busy reliving my childhood in 1080p. Now if only someone could remake Lego Racers 1&2...

Beyond that, I found out that the Steam release of Dwarf Fortress totally passed me by last year, and so I've been getting back into that and I keep marveling at the lovely graphics and the mouse control. I'm happy that I can support the creators this way after years of playing the game every once in a while. Still waiting for stuff like Dwarf Therapist, but for the first time I'm playing DF without tons of add-ons and it's actually pretty neat. I'm looking forward to all the FUN I'll be having! :P

Interestingly, the guy who made the referenced post, 'avis', is allegedly the new name of 'birdie', a well-known troll on the forums who was banned a while back. Basically everyone there agrees that it's him and no action is taken against this new account.

It's important in science (but also in general) to verify things that are thought to be obvious or "common sense", since not everything that the broad public agrees on is true after all.

It was underpowered when the Switch released, yes, but I'd wager that it was a good choice for the application when Nintendo started designing the Switch. Couple that with the (not unreasonable IMO) expectation that there would be successors to the X1 that they could hypothetically put into the Switch and release a higher-perf revision with minimal changes, I can see why they chose it. Unfortunately, Nvidia dropped the X1 line and that (again, purely speculative) scenario never manifested.

The heavy stuff would be things like shader compilation and state management for multiple different graphics APIs (OpenGL and Vulkan mostly).

AFAIK Linux graphics drivers are usually separated into a userspace and a kernel space component, like amdgpu on the kernel side and RADV/RadeonSI within Mesa on the userspace side. So you do not need to do a full reboot to e.g. benefit from performance optimizations within Mesa to get things like faster shader compilation or more efficient draw call submission, which I think most people care about when doing driver updates. In fact you don't even need to soft reboot, because once Mesa is updated, all following uses of it already run the new version, all without a reboot. However if your GPU is not yet supported by the kernel side, then Mesa is of no use to you.

That being said, yes the kernel side is a very important part of the driver, but it's such a low-level driver that very few people would be able to do much of anything with it, which is why I made that distinction.

Yes they do, Mesa being one. Only the close to the metal stuff and Kernel-DRM is handled in kernel space, most of the heavy stuff is done in user space.

Yes they're usually called " Display". IIRC Display variants are optimized to be used on digital displays (usually on the web), where a lower resolution (72ish DPI) than printing (~300 DPI) is quite common.
