The problem with sword combat isn't the computational complexity, but the fact that reporting a hit late is much more noticeable. If you are running across some open space and a bullet hits you, the game can report you being hit 500ms

I can confirm that. I have a couple of games on App Store that use it. I built them initially in 2015 and have updated them a couple of months ago with the latest libGDX. I used RoboVM just like that person in the article, but I used it wit

To counter all those throwaway accounts created to praise Brave, I have to say that I have no intention to use it because it's based on Chromium. Single-culture is bad even if your intentions are good. I never used Chrome either and ha

I actually don't mind Facebook ads. If I'm on Facebook already, there's no additional javascript loading and hogging my browser with dozens of megabytes of tracking scripts. From performance point of view, browsing FB is a be

I'm curious now. What's there to look up? It's just like WHERE, but you use it on aggregate values. WHERE filters the data before you aggregate it, HAVING afterwards. That's all there is to it.

I hate soft wrapping. It makes the code much harder to read and reason about. Especially if someone else wrote it. I rather choose to scroll to the right to see long lines when needed.

Left-handed people? Edit: not really. I did some research and it appears they use IJKL because it's easier to reach SPACE bar with the right thumb.

That's because the design of keyboard prevents it. There should be a gap between F4 and F5 and also between F8 and F9. If the gaps were there, I know I would use it. On my desk where I use the Mac around 60% of the time, I have an USB

Just to counter all the people who don't use F keys. I use them all the time. F11 multiple times a week because I have some icons on my desktop for applications I don't use that often. F2, F3, F5, F6, F7, F8 daily because I still

It's hard to reason and talk about something until you name it. With named keywords, you already have a name for it, even if you say it different than the English pronunciation. Unless the script is so foreign to you (ex. Latin vs Arab

You make it sound easy, but let's look at the facts. The link you posted, says you need at least 600 mg of calcium per day. 100g of brocolli has 47mg. So, you would need to eat 1.3kg of brocolli EVERY single day. Who does that?
