I think I was trying to articulate the same thing before, why Racket instead of more-practical-tool-here for "experiments/fun" and it really is just because it's more fun to work with, nearly everything you need is in

This isn't the same as client side prediction though, the entire game simulation in the aoe case practically runs on every client, where the only input to the simulation are commands that are passed between all players and executed in

Others have expanded a bit, but it depends on what you're running it on, a tmpfs setup is your friend on linux and even for windows there are free alternatives :) Of course you will probably want to incorporate something that copies th

If you can spare the RAM, i'd stick the world on a ramdisk (I did when hosting a MC server and it makes an appreciable difference versus the terribleness of disk IO)

Yes! Dafny puts this stuff front and center, it's all well and good to think about invariants, but if they're just expressed in a comment and not actually verified, they might as well be filler text! If there's anything I hop

That went well for all the dutch jews in WW2 where the government also held detailed records about religious affiliation.. sometimes it is not about what is now, but what will or might be later.

D is still miles ahead of C++ if you care about compile times, even in pathological cases (like using tons of templates and/or CTFE in your D code).

You were saying "1 hour a day!" and then mentioned a guy who didn't work anything close to full time at a paying job for nearly 5 years to work 12 hours 7 days a week on something that _might_ pay on release..

Stardew Valley is a weird example because the guy spent four and a half years working 12-hour days and did _everything_ themselves.. not sure that's the comparison you want here. (and their family/girlfriend supported them, they d

Looks fairly broken for me too, paragraphs and a border which doesn't overlap the text would be nice. I'd say reader mode makes it more bearable but the lack of even paragraphs still makes it kinda hard to read..

You read an article about predatory practices and somehow you now want to place the blame on the user? How about we don't do corporate apologism eh

Consider that if they know when you wrote your review, they know which your review is, if you then change your review, that's a pretty blatant way of telling them exactly who you are, which might not go over well if they have any sway

Even just a quick glance at the stuff visible is pretty uhh.. interesting, I'd think it was a parody site if I didn't know better

Just as a sidenote, Rust's compiler was first implemented in OCaml after all, is Rust "academic and unusable"? ;)

Considering Tim Sweeney's pretty strong stance against walling in marketplaces too hard, I think it's.. relatively safe at least.

This is an excellent map for the purpose of it, lifted from a bunch of research (shows the words in each individual language and also which language they originated from) http://wals.info/feature/138A#2/25.5/1

It does read a bit like what you would hear a "psychic" write in response to a short question, such a long response seems an unreasonably confident response without any more back and forth between the two. I'm actually a bit

Hindley Milner is quite elegant, but as applied in languages it becomes a quite different beast (OCaml etc, yikes) But also thanks to that detour, this article is a nice read on OCaml in particular: http://okmij.org/ftp&#x2F

"if we used"? Did it occur to you that many of these people might not want to do something else and would then actually not accomplish what they'll accomplish in an environment they actually enjoy? People are not something &q
