This is sort of what I've done with some success in developing games. Games in general are grossly under-tested, but there are a few good reason for that. Lots of systems can be effectively tested by just playing, and often it's t

This is an awesome approach! I especially like that you'll get perfect compatibility, vs something like ruffle that's re-implementing flash. Not to mention that running x86 code in a wasm vm is an extremely general solution, like

Tip for this site: disable javascript. It falls back to just a big list of photos which you can browse at your leisure. If you're somehow forced in to using a carousel, at the very least, make it so that it stops auto-changing once I&#

No it's okay though because there's no more crack now. Crack addiction was solved.

Confusion caused by attempting to sort human beliefs in a one-dimensional space strikes again! To be clear I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you or the parent poster, just commenting on the ambiguity.

Nice tool, and nice choice of example names!

Configuration is maintenance that I'd rather not do, it's not a matter of "can't". I used vim as my main editor for years, and I had it very much configured to my liking. Any time you have to set up plugins for a ne

As long as there's no latency when actually editing text, which is my experience with vscode, I don't think it's that big of an issue. As someone that's moved from vim+plugins to vscode, I'll take the few millisecon

And Seinfeld is unfunny because the jokes are all overdone. > It wasn't old or overdone when they did it, because they were the first ones to do it. But the things it created were so brilliant and popular, they became woven into the

The official reddit rules for using the downvote are similar to your MO. The problem is you can't expect people to read and abide by rules on when to use such a simple feature, and they're impossible to enforce anyway.

Haskell is like that with System.IO.Unsafe and Debug.Trace.

In this analogy, game development is like taking on crippling amounts of debt, declaring bankruptcy, and then starting a new company to do it all over again.

Of course not all of them, we enjoy games, and we're the only actual data point we have. But since we're just one data point, we really don't know anything about the probability of different subsystems of the mind evolving. I

You're creating a false dichotomy here. Not all home owners are "rich" and not all renters are "poor". Property owners are just running a different business than you. You can easily be a renter that's wealthier

You're assuming a lot about what it means to be an intelligence. It's not the concept of a square that will potentially be missing from an alien lifeform. It's the complex circuitry involved in enjoying board games in the fir

That's easy for you to say as someone that I'm assuming isn't trying to become a cam model. These people wouldn't have been able to get the job without sending the verifying information, and you don't know their cir

Oh for sure. I wish I would have thought of that sarcastic quip by being creative, but in reality it's because I've seen it so many times.

I've been in game dev for 10 years and I'm as stumped as you are.

Easy, just add "if (thing == null) return;" to the top of the function that crapped out on a null reference and close the ticket! /s

Do we? I feel like memory-managed languages are far more common, and there's not a ton of choice when it comes to manual memory management.

What's the debugging situation like for developing WASM apps? I'm doing a lot of TypeScript+WebGL work right now, and though TS is fairly nice, my use case requires being aware of not allocating too many new objects frequently, an

We may never be able to get rid of individual psychos that torture people, but it would be nice if we could get rid of large-scale state-sanctioned torture that everyone knows about.

Yeah exactly, that's part of what I'm getting at. The post I replied to sounds wise because it appeals to negative stereotypes about successful people while giving non-successful people a way to feel superior about their non-succe

I'm just too nice to be one of those jerk CEOs that society wants. That's why I'm not successful. /s This sounds a lot like "nice guy" syndrome, to be honest. Edit: Added /s just to be clear.

They are close enough that the relationship between them is graspable to the human mind, if the numbers themselves are not. Take the unimaginable 10^77, put it in a box. Now imagine a thousand boxes. That's 10^80. Of course a thousand

You're a person. When do you get a free thought in? In the absence of overwhelming evidence you should assume other people are probably more like you than you think, rather than making grand claims about "many" people that ar

I don't move relative to my reference point, but you move relative to my reference point and vice versa. So from my point of view it makes sense to say you are moving at some fraction of the speed of light.
