I think the obvious problem here is the manager's attitude: While I was proud of it, there was suddenly a problem when I talked to my manager about it. "While I understand how complex this was, when it comes to performance revi

Yeah, part of the problem here is that the source code and the bug were in C, and people commenting here think C and C++ are the same thing. There's a huge difference between C and C++. There's a big difference between 2001 versio

Awesome concept that needs to come back, it reminds me of John Carmack’s .plan file. https://fabiensanglard.net/fd_proxy/doom3/pdfs/johnc-plan_19...

For a long time, evolutionary and genetic algorithms were part of AI. It is not a language model, and it doesn't run on a GPU, but it is definitely a mechanical implementation of searching a solution in a space.

Modern terminal emulators not being compatible with the TERM environment variable seems insane to me. Yes, it can be unreliable at first, when your software is new. This is expected, and it changes when people start using your software. But

No, hard disagree. It is not a toy, because language is not a toy. Language is a ridiculously powerful tool we have as humans, we just take it for granted because we are very good at it. What ChatGPT allows us is to evaluate the usefulness

This sentence from the article seems to be completely made up and not based in any actual science: "Without water to lubricate tectonic activity, our plates will grind to a halt." In fact, water has nothing to do with tectonic act

Besides Windows having more drivers for USB adapters than Linux*, which is a reflection of the market, I find Linux having much fewer glitches using multiple screens. Once it works, Linux is more reliable than Windows. And virtual desktops

For this engineering, I think calculus is not the main proficiency enhancer you claim it to be. Linear Algebra, combinatorics, probability and number theory are more relevant. Calculus was important during the world wars because it means we

Awesome! I completely agree with this approach. I use a slightly different alias, but that's it. It provides a clean commit history, without actually rewriting the commit history. I wish more developers in the company used this approac

One of the reasons for me to use Windows (still) is Photoshop. Besides actually playing the games, I use Photoshop to make skins for my cars when simracing. There are several options online now, that implement almost all the features from P

> I believe music composers were the same. The midi Descent music (from 1 and 2) was to me the best game soundtrack in many years. Only when Portal appeared, it was removed from my top 1. It is the only set of game related songs I enjoy

It may sound crazy, but I have never felt nausea with a computer. The only issue I had with VR was my hair trying to cover my eyes, in the middle of a race, and that was it. However, once I rented a plane to go over the Nazca lines, and it

Yep, it has a nonsensical name, that's the point I wanted to convey. Actual "dynamic programming" would be self-modifying code, or something just as sophisticated, IMO. Or Prolog =) What about "memoization optimized back

Absolutely true. I bought a second hand MS Sidewinder for this game, and I still have it =) In fact, last week I bought all three games in Steam.

My strategy against them was hide and seek. The tactical peekaboo. I would look fast, see where the Gatling gun sparks appeared, hide fast, wait a second for the bullets to hit something, then move again, shoot at where the sparks were an i

That plays like a first-person shooter, with added movement up and down. In my mind, if you can strafe, it is an FPS.

It's because you could move in any direction and move and spin at the same time. I don't get dizzy, but I'm sure almost anyone would when they watch me play. Other games don't really have the six degrees of movement that

"Dynamic programming" is jargon from competitive programming. It sounds a lot more sophisticated than it is. In reality, it is nothing more than memoization of function calls into an array.

Tidal pays artists between $0.0125 and $0.015 per stream, with the potential to earn $1,250-$1,500 for every 100,000 streams. Spotify pays between $0.003 and $0.005 per stream, with a 70/30 split in favour of the rights holders, which
