Thanks for the info, I knew even my statement might have been a stretch. I'm not even sure Disney can be fully credited with popularizing it, I think it was becoming important in videogames with packed GBuffers almost concurrently.

Yeah, sure is messy.

I mean but I don't think it's really fundamentally different right? Among other games, I played Alto's adventure, bought the Plus version, and got bored in a week.

>(0,0,0), A, and B are the three points of a right-triangle. Your next line suggests you already know this, but just so it's clear it's not, they are three points in an arbitrary triangle. Each vector has a right triangle betwe

That's really cool. I hadn't seen it, but I'm not surprised to see Wenzel Jakob's name on the paper.

Like I could see how you could figure this out if you can project one line onto another maybe, but I also don't know how to do that with just trig.

Ok, hmm I'm still a bit lost though, those identities work on a right triangle, but how do you construct a right triangle between two 3D vectors A, and B?

Can you even get the angle between two three dimensional vectors without using some sort of vector product and venturing into linear algebra territory?

Every language has valid-per-spec differences. That's exactly why you test. For sure OpenGL/DX requires more infrastructure to run unit tests than a generic block of C code. But it's absolutely possible to "unit test&quo

For other people who are curious POCO stands for "Plain Old CLR Object" So I think just a basic uninhereted object.

I think you have a good point about sorts, in that case mutation is almost always faster, but it seems to me that a large contributor, is that often much data doesn't need to be moved. So clearly no work is better than some work. Havin

You've failed to mention what those are. It seems to me to be the case that "these outliers" are in fact the rule. As a rendering engineer, I have lots of doubt that those vendors will move away from their proprietary APIs, t

So who does that leave? Linux, Android and Stadia? And maybe Nintendo? There is about as much not supporting it as are.

by Arelius 6y ago
And I'm not sure that it actually has Vulkan support. Can confirm that OpenGL is at least technically supported.
321.
by Arelius 6y ago
Everyone says Nintendo supports Vulkan. But that wasn't actually the case outside of marketing materials in the past, and nobody has confirmed that this has changed since.

Yeah, I've been a C/C++ programmer for 15+ years with heavy focus on performance, and have not once run PGO. I think it's quite often the case for C/C++ programs that you -O2 and walk away, at least for codebases that yo

Sure, this describes the problems with JS's const, but doesn't really describe why it shouldn't be used?

I agree, while it may not be entirely technically accurate to say WebKit, I do think it's specific enough, and also a more broadly known technology than Javascript Core

I suspect you have more leverage, choice, and likely a higher pay when working as a consultant or freelancer. Having said that, maybe you deserve benefits too?

Could you point me to where and how AB5 would require Uber become responsible for their drivers time? It seems to not be the case to me.

by Arelius 6y ago
More importantly, it's unlikely they would match Uber and Lyft in price, since the rides wouldn't be subsidized as such.

While I generally agree, I don't think Epic is an accurate comparison. They obviously knew that Fortnight would get banned from the Appstore, and it was a business decision for them to make. However, it would have been reasonable for t
