There is a video where a real game dev was showing how bad a specific benchmark was. It was basically read arguments, get a random number, do a for loop 10,000 times, inside there do another for loop 10,000 times, do some equation with a modulo, put result in array, pick a number from array and print to screen.

The biggest time cost was the modulo as that's the hot path. He basically went through and typecast all the ints to double. He got 4x the speed. It went from almost 2 seconds to less than 0.5 second just on that change. This is mostly due to cpu and compiler now using simd instructions.

Small changes can have big impacts.

    Absolutely am not going to bat for him. Pointing out his own inconsistent statements. He is repulsive.

    If you want to play with bathroom/toilet stuff, have fun but get consent and agreement. Otherwise you should be in jail.

    True. And ultimately most of positive groups for white men are either abandoned or only for octogenarians. For example there was the shriners, rotary club, and free masons(ignoring conspiracy theories) in the 1970s, no one basically joins those these days.

    Again I agree it's up to white men to make these groups, it's just difficult to prove your group is not like say the proud boys. Not asking for some other group to take responsibility for making these groups, just lementing that there are not really any left.

    I agree with everything you are saying except I don't think white men can. I think it will take years to decades of healing to make this possible. Unfortunately we are currently just causing more harm(ice, gop, etc) to ourselves instead of healing.

    Yes it's on white men to encourage these groups, I'm not asking for help or asking for some other group to do it. My only point was at current moment if those groups were made they would be assumed to be hate groups and that makes me sad.

    While I agree with you, generally those groups either don't exist or are repugnant. We all know almost all groups for the empowerment of white people are bad. They mostly are built on hatred of other cultures instead of helping their own culture. The same is true for many "men groups", they are built on hatred of women instead of helping other men.

    I used to to work at a pretty progressive workplace. They had an official group for the advancement of women, another for the advancement of asains, another for lgbt+, another for Africans, another for Hispanics. As a cis white male I had no group. Because of history making a group for "white people" would be seen basically like making a hate group. Same thing with making a group for men. Everyone assumes white males have all these advantages so they don't need a group.

    I encourage women, black people, LGBT people to grow and be the best they can be. I just wish there was a group for white men which wasn't built on hatred and wasn't living under a shadow of believing it was secretly for hatred.

    Wait... This is all sorts of fucked up but I got a question. If he was only "curious about transgender people" why did he install a camera in his home?

    I mean not even going into what being "curious" means but doesn't that mean you someone in your home is transgender and you could just ask?
