Yeah, but then I'll have to deal with Embarcadero.

Does this support declaring variables anywhere (as opposed to only in the beginning of a function)? That was my primary complaint when using Lazarus.

How do people find Lightning cables robust? Every single one I got from Apple failed around the one year mark. So much so that I finally started buying cheap knockoffs that only lasted 6 months but cost a tenth of official ones. To compare,

Abrahamic societies will naturally be sympathetic to the acts of other Abrahamic peoples and antagonistic to pagan and polytheistic cultures, especially if the non-Abrahamic culture rejects the Abrahamic proselytising that purports to &quot

iPads have M-series chips in them that support hardware virtualisation. But Apple goes out of its way to disable the hypervisor for its iOS/iPadOS builds[1]. All they have to do is stop doing that and allow apps to make use of the virt

The classic Doug Lee's memory allocator[1] has explicit heaps by the name of mspaces. OP, were you aware of that; and if yes, what does your solution do better or different than dlmalloc's mspaces? [1] https://gee.cs.os

If someone from Teardown dev team is here, did you guys ever tried to do the physics in voxel space? If I understand correctly, Teardown convert each physics chunk into a mesh and feeds all the meshes into a traditional physics engine. But

Is there a similar document for the memory arena feature? I tried searching the official documentation, but found scant references and no instructions on how and when to use it.

Why do they use the bottom bit for tag and not the top bit?

by HexDecOctBin 7mo ago
Teardown calculates collision meshes and does physics on those. Not on voxels directly, and definitely on in voxel space.
79.
by HexDecOctBin 7mo ago
So how would you do destruction physics on voxels without meshing? This is how even Teardown does it, and it uses raymarching.
80.
by HexDecOctBin 7mo ago
One issue with Voxel-based physics destruction games is that the physics happens in continuous space (as opposed to voxel space). This means that the moment you break off a chunk of geometry, it has to be converted into a mesh and simulated

I often wonder what a Prolog implemented as an Objective-C like extension to C would look like. Since WAM has proper stack and heap IIRC, it might be possible to plug that in through some region-based memory management on C side. Is there s

Linux syscall interface is actually stable and can easily be targeted. It’s BSDs (and Mac OS) that force everyone to link to only libc.

There are C codebases many decades old still being actively maintained and used. I don't think the same is true for Python on the same scale. It's easy to remodel when you are on the top of abstraction layer, but you don't wa

Another alternative is that the programmer write their own C compiler and be free of this politics. Maybe I am biased since I am working on exactly such a project, but I have been seeing more and more in-progress compiler implementations fo

I wish FreePascal would allow declaring variables anywhere and loop local variables. I just can't program like C89 anymore and without these two basic quality-of-life features, Pascal simply feels stuck in history.
