I'm not super familiar with this area so I don't follow... Why is animation any more difficult? I would think you could attach the basic 3D shapes to a skeleton the same way you would with polygons.

Posting an AI summary is about as useful as posting Google search results. We can all do it, we don't need anyone to do it for us.

> But the collective efforts of some government agencies, academia and the private sector helped reverse the trend. Well that's the key. The current administration is doing its best to sabotage science.

The refueling music is the best part of the soundtrack, and somehow that video doesn't have it...different version of the game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfUZix8jVBY&t=187s

I wonder how this went down. "Hey LG, this is the Microsofts. Just had an idea how we could give your entire customer base the middle finger, wanna hear it?"

I was in the midst of writing a snarky reply and then realized my actual issue with Kafka is that people reach for it way too often and use it in ways that don't really make sense. Kind of like how people use docker for evrything, wh

I once asked a YC alum, "Got any good Paul Graham stories?" And he had a couple; apparently the dude would often ask for help with basic tech things like setting up his wireless. Same kind of thing, I guess.

Then why did you say, "There is yet one to exist that dies before its forks." Sure sounds to me like you meant "all".

SBCL is way more popular than CMUCL The EGCS fork killed GCC

Ah yes, of course, no true fork has outlived its upstream project, how silly of me.

Hudson died well before its fork (Jenkins)

I've had a lot of success with egui. We've needed to do some weird stuff and I've always been pleasantly surprised to see that the API is expressive enough that we're always able to work within the bounds of the library.

I've always liked bigloo. It's probably the most pragmatic of the schemes in my opinion. It never gets the attention that chicken and gambit get, though, and I've always wondered why.

Ugh...I like the idea, but I wish lazy imports were the default. Python allows side effects in the top level though so that would be a breaking change. Soooo instead now we're going to be in a situation where you're going to be wr

...also, why does it have to be a ladder? Where does the ladder come from? And why can't you have all 2280 peasants just do a normal attack to do 2280d6 (or whatever) damage?

That's not true, it only re-renders if there's an input event or an animation running. This is very easy to see if you just put a `println!` in your UI logic. This is also mentioned in the gui docs here https://github.c

Anyone have the other SoundBlaster era demo .MIDs at hand? I think there was...Self Control? rhythm.mid? A couple others that I can't remember?

Did you look at the queries? There is not a single join in any of them.

Yeah I feel like I'm on crazy pills, I'm OoM'ing all these big data tools that everyone loves very trivially -- duckdb OoM'd just loading a CSV file, and Polars OoM'd just reading the first couple rows of a parquet

Well that's exactly my complaint. The bug I filed above was pretty much the optimal case (one huge table, one very small table, both ordered by the join key) and it still OoMs.

I don't think that's right, it looks to be a set of 43 queries with zero joins: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/blob/main/versions/...

Yeah I think that's a good summary. For instance, clickbench is comprised of >40 queries and there's not a single join in them: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/blob/main/clickhous...
