The big thing that put me off Qt 6, even though I’ve been a fan of Qt in the past, is that I cannot download the official release, even if the LGPL version, without registering an account, while before you only needed that if you wanted a c

I don’t buy it. Most of their reasons are why it’s better for them and not why it benefits the employees. The employees are still being discriminated against for living in low cost of living areas by being valued at less, regardless of wh

What exactly is meant by “crowd AI” for Days Gone, because there were plenty of games before that which I would consider having “crowd AI” for some definitions of the term.

Another thing worth noting is that "smart" game AI is as much about presentation as it is about actual intelligence. That is, if your NPC's are super smart, but doesn't communicate their smart decisions to the player, th

Maybe, but most games use simpler tools like behaviour trees or utility systems not just over machine learning based AI, but also over fancier game AI techniques like GOAP, MCTS or even HTN’s simply because: 1) they are easier for the desig

I mentioned the cost of processing the return. And I mentioned that I agree it’s a shitty move by the buyer. I just disagree with the framing of “this one order was a third of our rent and it turned out fake”, like yeah of course they’re up

It seems like a strange complaint that this one order was for a third of their rent. Besides the cost of processing the return, if the order hadn’t happened at all, then they also wouldn’t have had this third of their rent so it seems the n

Yeah, just having the standard library container types (or similar generic third party libraries if you don’t like std ones, eg I tend to use phmap maps and sets instead of std::unordered_map/set). Templated containers just make using

QM doesn’t say the “observer” has to be conscious, or even alive for that matter. Anything that interacts with the system is an observer: be it a sheet you’re firing particles against, an electronic sensor or anything else. All QM really sa

One thing I’ve realised after ~13 years of using Clojure is that I’ve never used its STM and have never actually seen other code use it. It works, but its usefulness is, to me, questionable. YMMV of course, nah just be the nature of code I’

Same for me. I’ve wanted to get a printer for quite a while but don’t want to spend the time researching which one won’t try to rip me off, lie to me and defraud me. So I haven’t bought one.

I’ve written a lot of Clojure and Clojurescript over the past ~12 years and I find it a very natural way to program to the point that it’s the single biggest thing I miss when I work in other languages like javascript and Python.

It’s a 15 year old niche game running on an old janky engine. A lot of people haven’t played it before, so personally I think a remaster is actually warranted in this case, given the popularity of the later games in the series.

I was a fan of the game, but the engines limitations did hurt it in my opinion and the combat was its weakest aspect. The story, characters, world and quests were its strong points. So I’m greatly looking forward to this remake, if it provi

If you don’t go through it point by point and just reject the entire comment, then how is everyone else supposed to know that it’s misinformation? Right now it’s just your word that it’s incorrect. You have to back your claims up.

There was a point of time when I was a pretty efficient vi user, not anymore though. However when I was, I found that in time, with practice, I got very good at estimating how many characters, words and lines things were. So it’s just pract
