The key to making an fighting game AI API interesting is enforcing the same reaction delays humans have, from decision making to input, which is roughly 250-300ms, if I remember correctly (your nervous system from brain to fingers has prett

I'll be going on 5 years this fall, which is my planned update period. Aside from some newer games, though, everything is great. Compilation times okay, heavy web browsing feels fine.

I want to say that VS Code had the same issue because of the blinking cursor, which was controlled by a CSS property to toggle.

I made a 3D NES emulator for the HoloLens about 8 months ago http://n3s.io and I pleasantly surprised that a few MS employees reached out. Some were doing internal hackathons and wanted assistance, others even contributed to the

Robert Caro's first LBJ book has a great (harrowing) passage on how hard it was in rural Texas for mothers, who often didn't have electricity up until the 30's. It was backbreaking, constant labor to keep everything in workin

Roguelike would probably be the simplest, since you don't need to worry about creating visual assets, and time / space is mathematically simpler (turns & tiles).

I use libraries all the time. However, all the C++ DirectX GUI libraries seemed way too heavy for what I was trying to do. Part of the fun of hobby projects is creating your own little development style, and digging through old docs on opin

Agreed on globals. I learned to code making a huge Java + OpenGL game engine some years back, right when scripted web frameworks were really blowing up and people were becoming test-obsessed. Every new article said that global variables and

Going through this with my side project (a game of sorts, C++ and DirectX) but it's more of the opposite issue. I needed to implement a very simple GUI and didn't want to dig into any libraries, so I created a sort of minimalist m

Those "most people" also elected the bunch that put the law there in the first place. But it wasn't a campaign issue for either side, so it seems silly to bring up. This is a consumer protection / rights issue and the be

It's ironic because I've been thinking of writing a piece on how there are different types of reasoning, from strictly rational to the more empathetic (human?). So I cringed a bit myself writing that, because I feel a lot of HN co

I see this doublethink all the time. The government is both all-powerful and cunning, but also inefficient and inept.

This argument, applied to any industry, is so tired by now. Yes, a VPN company caught selling info would crash and burn. The invisible hand would ensure this, etc etc. But only if they got caught, and even then it's not like there woul

There are valid points to be made about HN being a bit of a bubble but I'm pretty comfortable pointing out that this is a forum for intellectual honesty and you're really showing none of that. These are tired arguments (ramblings

Went into the article expecting it to be silly, but there were actually a ton of interesting insights, especially about how no one knows how to manage these celebrities. Also, slowbeef is being humble; he literally invented the LP and curat

Curious about how anti-trust laws for an e-commerce firm might play out in 5-10 years, with the internet + globalization having come so far since Microsoft, I'd imagine even the US government would start to lose leverage breaking up so

It's kind of wild you think the NAACP is this huge factor tipping the scales. I'd guess that's a product of consuming alt-right news, which tends to massively amplify organizations and figures within the black community that

Slightly less so nowadays. I left that area and moved to a megacity so I could get into software dev without having to work at an insurance company (or ESPN). But there's a little bit more going on with CT nowadays, and I think the ins

Thanks for popping in! It's mentioned that the "projected cost" logic outgrew Rails, but there's no mention of what that microservice eventually wound up running. I'm curious what you had success with.

The parent comment "debunked" my reasoning by citing logical fallacies. There's a page on Wikipedia that lists all logical fallacies and links to their pages, it's often cited as one of the best / coolest pagest on

Damn, if only these women had also found the Wikipedia portal for logical fallacies, and also had concrete stats on workplace harassment, which is a personal, embarrassing, and highly political subject.

You're claiming you can estimate the frequency of these incidents based on how often they crop up on HN, which just flagged this straightforward and innocent link for being feminist, so yes you are definitely sheltered from these issue
