I think it's technically Simplex noise, but yes also developed by Perlin.

In planetary rendering circles, the cubified sphere is a great method and I'm glad he went over that here. I should say you do get distortion where the cube faces meet at the edges. May or may not be a problem depending on how your te

100% agree. I've found no theory as to what correlates with my particular issues: hives and elevated heart rate when consuming processed food/gluten/I don't know what over a long period and also difficulty sleeping. If

lol I'm always fascinated by the weird psychology motivating these comments. Must be a troll.

Nvidia recently rolled out upscaling in video too with new drivers and latest Chrome/Edge [1]. Honestly, it's pretty decent from my usage. Required a 3080 or above, however. 1. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets&#x2

Question though: asyncio is implemented as threads, which is where the GIL chokes, right?

We're currently looking into datalake implementations. Right now, we only have 1 or 2 data sources. Current thinking is reading them on the fly, combine them using pandas dataframe and query that. Anyone have experience with doing s

If it's just to serve CRUD apps or run web sites, bottleneck is network time and browser rendering time, unless you're doing actual data processing. And if you are doing data processing, easier to use a data science library like P

Although the article focuses on Unity DOTS, Unreal Engine 5 introduced a fast and performant data-oriented system called Mass. Originally introduced for its particle system, the underlying system is a pure data-oriented framework that is su

There are a lot fewer people with this expertise, and of those, that can communicate it well and have the time to write a book I'm sure makes them a relatively small group of people. They probably mostly work in AAA studios, since onl

I remember he mentioned something about his role to that effect in one of his handmade hero streams. Can't remember which exactly, but he did mention he did a bunch of code contributions to the engine. Possible I am misremembering. I

He was a programmer at RAD game tools, which is industry standard for game tools. He also was the principal game engine engineer on The Witness, and has probably worked on other 3d games in the industry.

Came here to see if someone mentioned this. It truly is breathtaking. There's a youtube video with an ancient greece scholar giving a commentary as a player walks through ancient Athens in the game. https://www.youtube.com&

Almost everything has a cost and benefit. Point is to tilt more toward benefit.

Another pretty underhanded move. They definitely knew the console versions had major issues and didn't want reviewers to see it.

Not really the issue, also anecdotal. Clearly a large enough base complained for Sony to pull it from their Playstation store, and they've never done that before. The real issue is what was promised and teased and what was delivered.

That's honestly just an interpretation of it. He could just mean "remember this day of protest against the establishment". Everyone just reads everything he says with their own biases. I don't think that's inheren

I agree, I'm confused. He's urging against violence, but standing by his claims of fraud. But people are claiming that's not what he's "really" saying. OK.. so I can basically say the same thing about anyone

If you're suspicious of the numbers of China, why would you not be suspicious when they said they 'controlled' the spread? I mean the press has all but forgotten about China and focused on the global spread, so there's

Agreed, these strategies might help people who already possess a certain level of conscientiousness and these are merely the strategies they use to maximize their results. At an even deeper level, it ignores the deep motivations that drive

This is a very acute answer. I actually do think well-structured algorithm questions that are variants of common ones might be strongly g-loaded. E.g. They test knowledge + IQ. I would say big companies that hire new people or generalist

Excellent write-up. I use pretty much the same. Only difference: Webstorm for JS and PyCharm for Python. Both of these have pretty much every imaginable feature you'd need for JS/Python development out of the box and everything n

Wow, the section “the psychology of modern leftism” is pretty much point for point criticism of the modern left by the modern right. Were those critiques in the air at the time or was he just a nascent conservative?
