You don't have to reinvent all these systems, but in my experience, you still have to code a lot to wire these very generic building blocks up in a good way that fits your specific use cases.

Games are hard. I wanted to focus more on the fact that there is a perceived glamour to indie development that is totally amd utterly disconneted from their reality.

This is a somewhat naive view of engines in modern game development. Full-featured engines allow every department to dive in head first in parallel. The first gameplay elements often get programmed before the first pieces of content arrive.

The sad truth js that for every solo devs that becomes successful, there are an untold number of solo devs that don't find an audience and fail. The reality is pretty brutal in games.

Looks like we both had incomplete information. I didn't know that some trains have their doors really close to the ground and it's actually very inconsistent. I'm getting a clearer picture now.

There are plenty of ways. For example, the technology would die completely the moment companies get barred from creating or running it. End users don't have the means to update those models and they would age and become useless.

I don't understand ome detail of this story: Amtrak platforms are about 110cm high. That's more than waist high for most people. So how do you let people get on and off at a grade intersection instead of at a platform?

Well, you're very much wrong about that. The cat can be put back into the bag if we want to. It certainly happened before. Right now, companies are working extremely hard to give the impression that AI technology is essential. But that

It's nore about whether we, the citizens, even want this deployed and under what legal framework, so that it will fit our collective view of what society is. The "if" is very much on the table at this stage of the political d

The real reason why this stuff in underspecified in the spec is that some mainframe operating systems don't have file systems in the common modern sense, but support C++. Those vendors push back a lot against narroed definitions as far

I would assume that this is easy enough to implement that it will likely appear in a minor update to the upcoming Visual Studio version. MS kept updating the compiler since VS 2022, too.

In general, bespoke recycling processes can make sense, especially if you manage to design the items to recycle with the recycling process in mind. There are several types of goods where this is put into practice (paper, compounds like Tetr

This is probably one of those events where everyone on the inside has their own story that won't fit into a neat overarching narrative of how the files are handled because they only gets to feel part of the elefant each.

You are a minor share of the overall market and the sad truth is that most indie games sell a pityfull handfull of copies and can't sustain their creators financially. And even indie games have to meet certain standards and given that

Most gamers don't have the faintest clue regarding how much work and effort a game requires these days to meet even the minimum expectations they have.

But then you have a money trail connecting the company unambiguously to copyright violations on a scale that is arguably larger than Napster.

Nanite is just working around an inefficiency that occurs on small triangles that require screen space derivatives, which the hardware approxinates using finite differences between neighbors, e.g. for the texture footprint estimation in mip

While it is conceivably possible to write perfect software that will run flawlessly on a perfect computer forever, the reality is that the computer it runs on and the devices it controls will eventually fail - it's just a question of w

Your post reads like an admission to me that the system is broken. Real persons need real recourse, especially if an adverse action has major impact on their lives. Could it be that fully automated payment processes are just so fundamentall

There are tons of places within the GPU where dedicated fixed function hardware provides massive speedups within the relevant pipelines (rasterization, raytracing). The different shader types are designed to fit inbetween those stages. Aban

It's not so simple. The knowledge hasn't been transferred to future operators, but to process engineers who are kow in charge of making the processes work reliably through even more advanced automation that requires more complex s

I would recommend the two episodes "Three Robots" and "Three Robots: Exit Strategies" from the anthology series Love, Death and Robots if you like this kind of humor.

But the you're outsourcing the same shared code problem to a third party shared library. It fundamentally doesn't go away.

I can guarantee you that if you were to write a completely new program and continued to work on it for more than 5 years, you'd feel the same things about your own code eventually. It's just unavoidable at some point. The only thi

Nah, the state department is big enough to do both at the same time - at least it would be at full staffing levels.

It's the fact that these are competent human language word salad generators that messes with human psychology.

My experience with many German mechanical and electrical engineers is that they have a tendency to think of software like a magical cheap and malleable part on a BOM that can make their arbitrary design work. Especially the mechanical engin

You seem to be ignoring the fact that the battery pack status after a crash is essentially unknown. It should go through a thorough and competently conducted safety inspection or it may kill someone in the future. Of course, this doesn&#x27
