But they already do just that: you have a finite number of players, a finite number of subs, and each player has a finite amount of stamina.

That's fine, but only as long as "blah-blah" explains why the code is objectively incorrect. I usually start by writing out the explanation to help with phrasing the review comment.

The context for that question is important: OP had a set of requirements and Rust seemed to meet them. I’d personally consider investing time to learn technology X if I found out it met my requirements. This is not a Rust-specific thing. I

(1) is a one-time investment and allows you to take advantage of compiler guarantees. (2) is what every other language does for FFI anyways. In Rust, you could have a lightweight wrapper around the C API, but you would lose out on some bene

Nowhere did I say or even imply that people are “lazy or misguided” for not learning Rust.

Thanks for sharing your experience. OP in particular seems like someone who is familiar with a variety of languages, hence my comment. In addition, given that their requirements lined up with what Rust is good at, the time investment would

Why not run 1-2 releases behind and test/qualify a later release? A commenter below gave a good example of a company that would need to run a bleeding edge kernel (Red Hat). The vast majority of companies would never need to do that th

Not sure I follow. A custom kernel doesn’t need to based on master.

by Cyph0n 4y ago
Ah, Red Hat is indeed a good example. Thanks for clarifying.

> Also there are people and companies that compile their kernel from the master branch and run software on it. Genuinely curious: why would a company ever do this?

If it’s 30x slower than C#, there must be something very wrong. Have you done some CPU profiling to see where the bottleneck is? As for Rust’s performance, it has been proven time and again to approach that of C and C++. One counterexample

Thanks, but I don’t buy to shuck anymore. I have had two failures in the last few months, so I’m looking for drives with good warranty.

I might be in the minority, but I’m impressed that they let it run for so long. Season 1 was peak TV, and it just petered out after that.

Netflix does indeed have some “hidden” gems. But I’d say that HBO takes the cake for unique shows with consistent quality that are - most importantly - allowed to run to completion. My go-to example is The Leftovers. What kind of network wo

Thanks for the list!

I like the analogy! I’m still not comfortable with Pin, UnsafeCell, raw FFI (lifetime and ownership handling across the boundary is tricky), and complex macros. But I also think that you don’t need to understand these at all to be an effect

I think that’s fairly self-evident, hence my inclusion of “in theory” :) Are there other internal engines that have been used for open-world games with detail and scale at the level of GTA or RDR?
837.
by Cyph0n 4y ago
Interesting! I’m not at all familiar with game engine design or even game dev, but the only game series I can think of that reliably handles large, open-world scale well is GTA. Here’s a dumb question: in theory, would Rockstar’s internal e

Seconded. Just setup Bazarr and disable all forms of subtitle grabbing in the arrs and your media server.

Think of Jellyfin as a multi-user, centralized version of Kodi. Thanks to this, you get the ability to access (and give others access to) your Jellyfin instance remotely from virtually any device. Kodi can serve as either a Jellyfin client

I migrated my Heroku app to GCP Cloud Run. Works like a charm, integrates well with Github, and has a generous free tier.
