ECSs are sort of designed to be flexible and make it easy to extend and mix the behaviors of a game. Most games do not need such flexibility, because professional games are designed and you already know what capabilities are needed, and i

If it's only called in one place, it should be easier to optimize as well, because the context of the call is clear.

Children will exist and be part of your civilization regardless of how much you spend on them. You'll be a civilization, just not a very good one.

Or instead of optimizing it by hand, you have a machine do it automatically.

Dating doesn't involve an HR department, legalese, and contractual obligations.

Don't have google write your reply emails then? Sometimes you get a crappy solution because the problem being solved is just not worth the effort.

It's not really about lying, IMO. (In any case, lying isn't even unethical. -- deceit is.) It's pretty much ok to deceive people if they indirectly agree to it and you stay within bounds of what they agreed to. It is not unre

Seems like we have a military and postal system that are nigh-perfect counterexamples to your point.

Frames of reference are identified by the objects which have zero velocity relative to them. A photon cannot have zero velocity, so there is no frame of reference for a photon. You can tell how much nonsense it is by reading the conclusions

I didn't say frames of reference don't exist, I said frames of reference don't exist for photons. I'm not sure Einstein or his theories indicate any disagreement on that point.

by Retra 8y ago
"For the photon" and "the photon's experience" are nonsense concepts. There is no such frame of reference, so it makes no sense to postulate what things would look like from it.

I know you're being facetious, but even if your compiler is verifying that your overflows are happening correctly, it is not a stretch to see that it can report that such overflows are occurring at all and what assumptions are causing

Should I look at the sales of LED RAM and compare them to total game sales? I doubt that will demonstrate what you're claiming. A raw number means nothing. > I'm sure a lot of people would like an alternative to the Red Bull&#x

It may even have that connotation, but even so, using it for flair is perfectly acceptable. In fact, there's nothing bad about your mental image, as it would only be humorous.

Because people feel that DRM is an assault on the consumer.

How common do you really think it is? And why would "gaming" be the lifestyle Apple wants to be associated with?
648.
by Retra 8y ago
If you want to argue that there's no correlation between the Apple name and the quality of their products, you're going to need to do a comparative analysis between Apple and other manufacturers instead of simply cherry-picking we

More importantly, how do the externalities stack up?

Just because they happen to be an Apple user doesn't mean their status as an Apple user is relevant to your inquiry. I'd pay quite a lot to have an optimal laptop. But last time I went laptop shopping, Apple was the only one offer

BTW, this is a good example of "being traffic": Apple isn't the one spreading 'sex factor propaganda' in this thread, the people trying to ascribe motives to Apple and consumers is. The lesson is, if you don't

The result of that will not be easy to use objects, but hard to use primitives.

Most of the information is not available on demand, but only if you have the requisite credentials.

I believe you're just saying the same thing I am in different terms. The fact that zero is even a 'distance' you can divide by is consequence of the fact that you're deriving distance from the coordinates of the bodies.

by Retra 8y ago
Ideally, we'd understand space completely in terms of the relationships between things, and our coordinate geometry would not ascribe any "positions" to events, but only "relations" between events. Singularities ar

Words are not distributed uniformly in a dictionary at all. They are distributed according to the grammatical structure of the text.

If you use special-purpose tools rather than robust ones, you can get better performance. But nobody wants to ship a language without robust general-purpose tools.

The moral constraints on a human person are not the same as those on a human society. To say corruption is a property of human nature is to suggest that everyone is willing to be a source of corruption, rather than to suggest that everyone

"Regulating whenever something bad happens" is problematic, but it's a bit of a straw man. You should be regulating wherever people are incentivized to do bad things, which happens quite often when you don't offer any
