Agree, Unreal Engine still has a lot of catching up to do in terms of ease of use and performance (even importing an FBX file in the editor is a slow affair).

Yes maintain focus on heartbeat, breathe, whatever works for you. If you drift off, just return back to your focus as soon as you notice.

Do it everyday when you lie down to sleep. I don't set a timer and usually do it until at least my mind is calm (results in better sleep). I listen to my heartbeat in my veins in my forehead instead of breathe, which sounds harder than

You should try meditation. Effectively you 'stop' listening to the voice and then things all go a bit crazy. The voice talks to itself, memories become really vivid, hallucinations can happen too. And all while you just observe wh

> Being "concise" is not one I've seen argued Really? Lisp is the most concise and clear language I've ever used. There is almost zero boilerplate when writing it. The example was a simple one to get the idea across,

This is a common misconception non-lispers believes exist. Once you've written Lisp for a couple of months these problems disappear. The trick is not to try reading it like an English sentence, but see it as a collapsing tree of functi

Questionable. I would describe Swift as 'move fast' too, judging by the fact there is breaking changes [1] every release. [1] http://blog.xebia.com/breaking-changes-swift-4/

Makes me wonder how much we miss out on in the rest of the world because of the language barrier.

by hacker_9 9y ago
Yes but it is avoidable if you use a Lisp. Every part of the code can be compacted into a smaller form. I know when I write in Clojure it's always the most concise code I've ever written, with minimal effort too.

Upvotye, but I wonder about this statement: > The decision-making needs to be developed (at some core level) by a human. With neural nets you essentially throw a ton of data at them, and then they get better and better at recognizing ce

My point is there is no stopping this research now, open or not neural nets just have too much potential. So I'm happy there is an open initiative that the big players support.

It does make it less scary because we progress into this 'new world' together as a society. Therefore laws and regulations can hopefully keep up and we don't end up in a dystopia nightmare scenario.

Still, better this is done in the open. Otherwise Russia and China will just continue in secret, which is definitely a world I don't want to live in.

"compiling rustc itself is now 15%-20% faster. Each commit message in this PR goes over the details; there were some inefficiencies, and now they’ve been cleaned up." Good to hear work is being done to speed up the compiler. It&

Worth noting it's not hand written assembly, but instead writing C# code in a very specific way in order to encourage the compiler to implement more aggressive optimizations (inlining, bounds check removals, etc).

There is a couple of reasons. First, VP is essentially just putting code snippets into nicely coloured boxes, which adds no value apart from making you have to scroll/zoom more. Additionally the structure of the visual becomes importan

Watching the gif on that page, it actually seems slower to use. Instead of just drag selecting the table, I have to write out all the header text now by hand.

I used F# for a time and ended up disliking it. The syntax is poor IMO and some bits are quite quirky. I love using Clojure though for functional programming. Most of F#s ideas come from the Lisp world anyway, but they also tried to shoehor

When I first started learning Clojure I was surprised at how concise it actually is. I was so used to scanning imperative code in huge jumps, that the conciseness caught me completely off guard and I would scan functions without even taking
