I know someone who uses tones as an easy way of knowing if there's a market move on some cryptocurrencies. Basically, there's different tones for a trade that traded higher than previous and for a trade that traded lower than the

That only states that no commits were made. The text I quoted states that malicious patches were submitted, but were rejected (ie not committed).

From the article: In response, the UMN researchers posted an open letter apologizing to the community, followed a few days later by a summary of the work they did [PDF] as part of the "hypocrite commits" project. Five patches wer

Maybe it doesn't fix the underlying issues of overworked maintainers, but what the "hypocrite commits" team did was definitely wrong. I mean, a hacker breaking into a bank for research without explicit permission (i.e. contra

Ok, thank you! Much appreciated.

Thanks, I’ll take a look. Although, it’s a for fun engine so I may try myself anyway just to learn. I’ll see. Either way, thanks for the link, very interesting! As for frustum culling, that code seems to do one bounding box at a time? Or am

Perfect timing, I was just about to start looking into SIMD again as my toy game engine is almost at a point where I want to see if I can vectorize some of my processing (much of it is already stored in SOA format, so hopefully it won'

In this day and age I expect every game to allow control remapping, certainly on PC but even on console I feel it’s warranted, to the point where I get mildly annoyed when they’re not remappable, even if I don’t intend on actually doing it.

Just as I use StackOverflow less and less, I also use google (search in general) less and less for development work. Sure every so often I get a weird error and search for it, but I’ve been finding that less and less useful. A big part of i

Which just demonstrates that these guys are actual bad actors, so blocking everyone at the university seems like a reasonable attempt at stopping them.

Oh wow, they closed it last November? I hadn’t realised. I flew through there the last time I was in Berlin, January of last year (was supposed to go again during the summer but then covid prevented that)

This happens to me all the time when playing guitar. I could be there blankly strumming wondering what the notes were, but the moment I get something right, I’ve got it. Or sometimes it’s that I can’t remember the rhythm at all and I try to

I actually don’t mind the python docs, but then, I learned python from them back in 2001 when I had infrequent internet access, so I had to rely on my offline copy!

I actually deleted my account some time ago via GDPR request. So I haven’t contributed in a long time (but wasn’t a heavy user anyway). But I have noticed a major decline in my using it at all, even for just reading answers. Yes, I did look

That does sound a bit like me too. I use tools that I’m e it her familiar with enough not to need SO, or that are too specialised or niche for SO to be useful. I have no problem reading documentation or just diving into the code if all else

I don’t rely on autocomplete quite as much as some people, although it for sure helps. I do think that a big part is that the two things I spend most of my programming time on, one Clojure project and one C++ project, I’m just pretty famili

Interestingly, I don't remember when the last time I did so was. I seem to be relying on SO less and less. I do sometimes use it as a quick reference, usually because its one of the first results on search engines, but its typically ju

I've always double checked that my phone number was listed as private and yet they leaked that, so I don't buy their argument that it was scraped. I just double checked and its set to "only me", which is what its always

Or... just keep a database with an API you can look up. There is no need for it to be trustless and distributed.

And some people tell the truth. Just because some people do it, doesn't necessarily mean that its likely in this case.

He only knew them for three months and it was a long time ago. I can't remember the names of some people I knew for much longer than that, 30 years ago, nevermind in the 60's! Hell, I can't even remember names of some people

Who would want to learn Javascript for the frontend and Python/Ruby/C#/Java/PHP/Whatever for the backend? And HTML for UI with CSS for styling? You say this, but people do it all the time.

Interestingly, I was thinking about this exact thing a few hours ago, before I saw this on HN. The thought was that you can design much more interesting languages by not making them be everything for everyone. Not quite domain specific, but
