C++ was the first programming language I ever learned, but I've only written a few hundred lines of it over the last 2 decades. Never professionally. Can you elaborate on the dangers of doing this incorrectly? What kinds of dangers are

Add a metalayer to turn version names into memorable word phrases imo lol.

I think all the trypanophobia and other conspiratorial thinking is often more rooted in distrust than stupidity. Trust is tough, and everyone has countless examples they can think of why you shouldn't trust. There's infinite reaso

These hitches (in unityland anyways) usually mean the dev is allocating a lot of short lived objects in their render loop. Even little heuristics like keeping the new keyword out of Update() and using object pools prevent the majority of th

I would have loved to see C# on this list. Wonder if he's accepting PR's.

It's easy to dodge a lot of bullets when each one has a ~ε% chance of hitting you. It's interesting how often situations occur where there's a whole lot of people who are RIGHT even though they sound like they have opposed

If perfect topology interferes with shipping, it's overrated. I could think of some mechanics I could add to Tentacle Typer (my indie game) if I had 3d models of the top 2000 most used nouns. I could decimate vert soup meshes into some

I've recently noticed reminiscent effects in Arcane. They have some vfx that quickly alternate between yellow and magenta or yellow and blue. Not full frame. I think they look rather striking. It's a shame that kind of thing is a

I agree that making a lot of people mad doesn't necessarily mean someone is an idiot. At the time time, making a lot of people mad does not necessarily mean someone is genuine. For example, someone who manipulates a lot of people with

I feel for the stubborn Win7 holdouts. Based on what I've seen of windows 11, I flat out refuse to install it. The ad/attention theft situation in 10 was already galling enough. 10 has become better after I found all the checkboxe

I bounce back and forth between javascript and C# depending on the nature of the job at hand. I'm curious what things you'd like to do with C# that you can't? I find that with some handwringing, C# can be forced to do almost

Fearmongering? Misinformation? Something with a vector around there probably.

This is very cool. What optimization algos are being used?

So what have you experienced specifically? It should come as no surprise that telling people that "the powers that be are reading your thoughts and erasing your memories" is met with incredulity. That's a pretty big claim tha

Inertia doesn't exist? Wow that's hard to visualize. Perhaps the world does converge on cellular automata as you zoom in

I went in thinking the same thing. After reading it, it's not 100% sure which type of bias it is. In the most charitable case, it could be sincere opinions formed by a career as Intel's CEO. An aftershock of a career in innovation

yeah yeah yeah, do all these things, and afterwards, look at 2d interpolation methods that don't require AI for your inbetweens. There's some real fast kernel math that can lerp from one blob to another at 8 billion fps.

I read this yeaaaars ago. I'm about to re-read this, but before I do, I think this was the article that installed a little goblin in my brain that screams "TTS" in instances like this. I will edit this if the article confirms

Startup idea: like reddit, but upvoting costs money and all the posts are tickets for paid staff lobbyists. Trust/transparency would be the tricky problems.

A week ago Alejandro Arcos was decapitated right after he took office as mayor of the city of Chilpancingo, a city of around 280,000 people. Some approximate stats: Mexico has 45,000~ murders a year. The United States has about 25k a year.

I'd appreciate living in a world where this was on my radar. Is it because I'm old now that it doesn't even register? My job, for the last half decade, has been to release things via steam. Yet, this seems like re-arranging d

Yeah it matters. Tom7 is entertaining because he acts like he isn't struggling but we know he does. Ross Scott's game dungeon is entertaining because of his struggle with dragging old shit into the present. Shining a laser through

This is awesome! Proxies can be so cool. I made this proxy many years ago for tracking stats/buffs/debuffs/gear for game things. https://github.com/MrLeap/Statsi
