That claim was never made, and you don’t know enough about the poster’s needs and circumstances to criticize their vehicle choice in general.

This has been my experience as well. I'm building an exploratory game project in Rust to test the waters for switching to it from C++ for a professional project. Initially I was hesitant because I didn't really care about memory s

I'm pretty sure ageism in tech boils down to this point. People who have been in the industry longer have better nest eggs and can simply leave at any point, so they won't crunch for you.

I was absolutely astonished by the civility and depth of understanding people showed for each others' positions when I visited that sub. I think in order to have a successful post you can't just dump on "the opponent", y

I'm not sure if I would call firing a truck-mounted machine gun from 150 meters away from the target and then exploding the truck a "surgically precise assassination".

That's not how this works. The computation is done in tubes via chemical reactions. The inputs (column and row) are specified by providing a variable concentration of two input solutions to the same base solution which encodes the ray

This is awesome, thanks for the resource!

Making incorrect states impossible to represent is exactly what type systems are about. If you're still thinking in terms of something that's basically checking units, I'd recommend experiencing a more advanced type system li

One of the problems with Haskell for game development is, because of the novelty of lazy evaluation, it's very difficult to learn what causes space leaks, and it's difficult to learn how to debug them. If you're already an ex

You do usually find the C preprocessor where you find C, yes.

This is a very reasonable position and it adds a lot to the discussion. It's a shame you are suffering reddit-style political downvoting in a community that's supposed to be above this sort of thing. It would be very sad to see a

CPU code calls in to drivers which talk to the GPU over the PCIe bus. So assembly code that does stuff with the GPU just looks like loading a shared library, passing in some shader code, and then passing in some drawing commands. This proje

Interesting. It also stands to reason that small amounts of LSD are more like a miniature LSD high (small things seem amazing, mild confusion, uplifted mood) than some sort of magical creativity drug.

We're moving through spacetime with a constant speed, so the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.

Definitely a good place to start. It's astounding how many people you can find yourself in a discussion with who haven't gotten as far in economic understanding as grokking supply and demand, but are adamantly proposing what amoun

Interesting. At the risk of mentioning another trigger word I'll say the importance of supporting your community comes up a lot in libertarian circles as well. I think it shows that regardless of your political leanings or opinions on

If you don't mind waiting for a loading bar, there's also 404kph[1]. It's technically impressive with decent gameplay (Trackmania clone). [1] https://js13kgames.com/entries/404kph

Can it be read without knowing about its more advanced features though? Production software is read much more often than it is written.

Not the parent, but I switched from vim+plugins to vscode+plugins for most development. I absolutely use the vim plugin because I can't stand to edit text without vim keybindings anymore. The reason I switched is that plugins in vim ar

I can hit myself in the head and I don't lose my train of thought, instantly lose consciousness, or die. If consciousness relied on the precise positions of individual atoms (as far as that makes sense with moving particles) it would b

That's a lot of broad generalizations about the personalities and intelligence of a lot of different people. It would be more fair to say that with both base jumping and steroid abuse, each person personally find the risk (as they perc

To be fair, hack on top of hack sounds exactly like regular graphics programming!

Can you name one precise isomorphism between "social media collisions" and particle interactions?

My concern is that if we can't trust the government to create a healthy recommended diet, how can we trust them to ban the correct foods? Their incentives seem to be more in line with propping up producers of large scale cheap pseudo f

But again, it's not up to anyone besides the developer accepting the offer to judge what a better situation is. It's implied it's a better situation for them because they are intelligent independent human beings with their ow

The marginal intelligence point makes survival to reproduce more likely, so octopi that are marginally smarter tend to be slightly more likely to reproduce. However, they seem to die very soon after mating for some reason related to their e

The issue isn't that our IP laws aren't complicated enough and need to be appended until they work, it's that we have IP laws in the first place. It's a wrong abstraction, there's no scarcity in information.

You're spot on with it feeling dreamlike. Any short chunk feels like it makes sense, but on the whole it flows together in bizarre ways where it doesn't feel quite like there's underlying structure. I don't think I'

I love that we're far enough in the future that there's such a thing as a classically trained sysadmin.
