PlayStation doubles down on slow, "thoughtful" PC porting strategy

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2026-03-17 22:42:00

In a nutshell: Sony's PC porting strategy has been clear from the start. It is in no rush to follow Xbox's multiplatform strategy. It wants to preserve the value of the PlayStation 5 by making sure high-end exclusives like Spider-Man and God of War remain showcases for the console first – and only reach PC when the timing feels right. Sony Interactive Entertainment's Studio Business Group CEO Hermen Hulst says the company is continuing to take a "measured" approach to porting major first-party

Will Smith’s many arenas of success have included sci-fi hits like Independence Day and the Men in Black films. But one of the most famous bits of Smith trivia is that he turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix. He admits it (and admits he regrets it), and he even made a music video just this year in the style of the Wachowskis’ classic, giving fans a glimpse at what might have been. And now he’s copping to another big sci-fi movie he passed on starring in: Christopher Nolan’s Inception. Smit

'How to Train Your Dragon' Has Tempered My Disdain for Live-Action Remakes

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-18 06:20:00

I go into live-action remakes with an air of spite and the lowest expectations, and I typically walk out feeling like those emotions are justified. Cue the unimaginative plot, vapid characters and uninspired cinematography, and that is the bulk of these money-making ploys. But the How to Train Your Dragon remake from DreamWorks, in theaters now, admittedly left me awestruck. I went to see the live-action remake of this beloved 2010 film over the weekend and was anxious about whether it would ma

Object personification in autism: This paper will be sad if you don't read (2018)

news.ycombinator.com White Rc Remington A 2026-03-18 09:34:48

Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon. Given that approximately half of all autistic individuals experience difficulties identifying their own emotions, the suggestion that object personification may be a feature of autism seems almost paradoxical. Why would a person experience sympathy for objects, when they struggle to understand and verbalise the emotions of ot

Simplest C++ Callback, from SumatraPDF

SumatraPDF is a Windows GUI application for viewing PDF, ePub and comic books written in C++. A common need in GUI programs is a callback. E.g. when a button is clicked we need to call a function with some data identifying which button was clicked. Callback is therefore a combo of function and data and we need to call the function with data as an argument. In programming language lingo, code + data combo is called a closure.

SIMD-friendly algorithms for substring searching (2016)
