Yeah, I make sure to spend my time on the hard problems and where you need to design for the future. I use AI up to around method level after that, have it do the drudge work of typing up tedious text, or to complete required boilerplate et

Here's an easy to understand example. I've been playing EvE Online and it has an API with which you can query the game to find information on its items and market (as well as several other unrelated things). It seems like a prime

Funny, because I started programming when I was 8, and I'm 49 now. But I'm still having a great time, it really just depends on what you're working on.

The funniest thing I've seen GPT do was a while back when I had it try to implement ORCA (Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance). It is a human made algorithm for entities where they just use their own and N neighbours' current r

It's probably the same, for example in Afrikaans its just gif . Vergif is the verb action of doing it, and vergiftig the same past tense of it having happened previously.

>Sure, we could use Burst to speed up some strategic parts... the game would possibly not even exist at that point. Yeah, the thing with Burst is that its a lot easier to work with if you start with it than having to replace/upgrade

What I agree on is that if we had modern .NET available we'd get a free 2-3x improvement, it would definitely be great. BUT having said that, if you're into performance but unwilling to use the tools available then that's on

This part of your comment is wrong on many levels: "The Burst compiler/HPC# plays on every meme perpetuated by modern gamedev culture (structure-of-arrays, ECS), but performance wise, generally still falls short of competently, bu

It's funny how ideas come and go. I made this very comment here on Hacker News probably 4-5 years ago and received a few down votes for it at the time (albeit that I was thinking of computers in general). It would take a lot of work to

Yeah, I played a lot of StarCraft 2. By myself, 2v2 with a really talented friend and 3v3 with two other friends that were total beginners that I could beat 1v2. At the bottom to upper mid level all you need to win is to figure out the macr

Yeah, its a really weird situation. For those who don't know the background, she's one of the favourite daughters of an ex-president under which corruption soared to new heights. He was really pro-Russia during his time, but event

There's a bit done by a comedian where they ask what the differences are between grave robbers and archaeologists, but basically it boils down to a question of time.

Windows has basically gone from a. Click on a directory in my File Explorer and it opens immediately, it always shows the correct headers, sorting on any column is nearly instant (up until somewhere in XP probably) b. Where I am now in Wind

I myself also tend to do that, but that is a behavior that is seen by the majority/"normal" people as non-social, unless if you already know them very well or if you are the one initiating the conversation. Listening to peopl

I'm not sure I agree, when we humans only lived for 50 years there were no time to develop any range of other diseases that we are experiencing now in later life, so even if you cure A there will definitely be many many opportunities t

And that was why games back in the day came with a little key-binding tool that helped you figure out what keys could be pressed together, or not. Of course back then it was a different hardware interface and the problem was usually the buf

I googled a bit and I'm not sure I would follow the new advice simply because it totally depends on getting help to you fast enough such that they can determine if its a heart attack or something else. In the writer's case that he

For the game industry this is practically amazing. Firstly, for 99% of appointments they usually don't care how good of a developer you are. You may have invented 10 new technologies and have revolutionized the field, if you can't

Recently I saw this trend on Twitch where American streamers who are usually in their 20's or early 30's would say noodles instead of pasta, which struck me as somewhat strange. It made me begin to wonder if they just use it for n

Nice find, I'll add the name to my list. I don't know about everyone else, but I find that I hate having to hold my e-reader. Also some years ago when I had 3 months of recovery time for a back operation I bought a tablet holder,

Back in the heyday there was this idea of the arcology where a group of people had it with their government and made their own city-utopia which would rule itself. Very often in those they featured technology like the staggered automated wa

It can be highly variable. For example in the morning or right after a nap I can visualize in extreme detail, but when I'm awake and at my most alert it will become a lot more basic.

It seems it was mostly to the north all over the Northern Cape, followed by Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Apparently South Africa was the world's second-largest market-economy producer of asbestos from the 1950s to the 1980s and the largest
