Unionist hate it because it would set a precedent for one part of the UK to be treated differently to the other countries. If a hard border in the Irish Sea is ok for Northern Ireland, why not a border at Carlyle? Unionists stamp their feet

I hate how these monorepo pieces gloss over the CI requirements. Just checkout the code that's affected by the change? Either you have a shared buid job that adds thoussands of builds a day & matching a commit to a build takes ages

That's what we did at my last workplace; 800-odd devs, 3000-odd repos, and a service we wrote to record and gather all the ownership metadata (which team owns this repo? where can I contact them? who should be on the code reviews? how

Career growth and networking opportunities is unprecedented there. Plus, if the salaries are higher in proportion to the costs of living, then your 10% (or whatever) savings you put aside will be much bigger. I crunched the numbers before w

Absolutely, testing against bounding boxes is a quick way to exclude candidates and frustrum culling with an octree (or similar) also greatly speeds up intersection tests

Jeff came up with Goal Oriented Action Planning for F.E.A.R , which notably moved away from the traditional game AI practice of putting all your actor logic in a giant case/if-else state machine.

I don’t get it. If you have some location between two regions, and you fill it in starting from some regular point (say, centre of the south-west region), you will get the same tiling every time. If you randomly choose a point to start at (

You'd use something like Perlin noise to seed whatever makes the decision about which tile to pick. Perlin noise is deterministic, so it's perfect to generate from the (x,y,z) of the tile & you can be certain that the location
