I'm afraid you would just be moving the problem to another area of the game. By updating the camera matrices on a separate loop, the render thread may draw some objects with one view-proj and then the last few objects with another. Thi

Sounds so impressive, but as a game dev, how do you overcome these problems: 1. Horrible performance. Instead of for-loops you are wrapping code in ienumerables, yield returns, linq, and event handlers. This is not acceptable for game dev b

We propose an alternative approach to construct an artificial learning system, which naturally learns in an unsupervised manner. Its mathematical prototype is a dynamical system, which automatically shapes its vector field in response to t

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, the show led me to looking up memory palaces too!

by hacker_9 11y ago
No doubt this would be useful, but the great thing about a memory palace is it is only limited by your mind - any object you've ever seen can be added to it effortlessly in nano seconds. Plus you can conjure it up anywhere anytime. A V

If I think of the word 'mansion' it does bring up a picture in my head, but as I move around it everything is kinda hazy and I kinda make stuff up as I go along. Like I look at the floor and set it's colour, but then a differ

If you have a fixed mindset – you believe that people are either smart or they’re not, and they can’t really change that – then you also tend to believe that if you’re good at something, it should be easy for you, and if something is hard

Is this much of a surprise? 'Action video games' these days take place in basically real life 3d simulations - any problems you solve in them can basically map directly into the real world (travelling from A to B, resource/ti

Which is why steam refunds make so much sense - as it's all digital, buying and refunding are the same couple of easy button clicks for the consumer. If this where to happen on the mobile app market it would be a game changer (because

Well if someone created an actually good programming language for game development we wouldn't have this problem...

Hilarious that your argument is your carpel-tunnel - Look at the code again and you'll see it's laid out so the computer can fill in the information for you = less typing. By typing the FROM first, the whole next SELECT statemen

Product looks good.. apart from the most important point from a dev point of view - the syntax! They created a new query language but didn't change the syntax at all from SQL?? Why does every database product seem to think SELECT FROM

Are you sure? According to [1] the V8 Javascript engine also includes function inlining. Additionally cache locality is still achievable in JS, if the user designs their data structures/code-patterns with the goal of maximising localit

It's a mistake to write your own parser because they can get so complex so quickly to even do basic stuff, and you'll lose sight of the original goal of the project. See Prolog - a whole programming language built around the idea

Yes. This. I used to have social anxiety for seemingly no reason - my mind would just constantly repeat negative emotions/events that happened in the day, or the week before or the month before or the year before, constantly. It was pr

That's another good point - no official go debugger. Additionally IDE's give you breakpoints, line highlighting, contextual variable inspection and so on.

Stopped reading after author considered IDE's to be a code smell. I mean honestly - they are there to make life easier and speed up writing code. 99% of the time I only have to type 2 chars + [TAB] and autocomplete completes the word f

This stuff is hard to explain textually as it's more about feelings you have, but if I were to try.. during meditation bad memories will enter your focus and set off a cascade of negative reactions. But the deeper into the meditation y

Not very long at all. You'll notice a positive feeling even after your first session. I have a lot of room to improve but there really is no end. Really you just learn more about yourself and how fast your brain is always working as it

I started meditating about 2 years ago because I liked the idea of having better 'control of my mind' - at the time I thought it was a gimmick but to my surprise it actually works. To begin with I found that after 20-30mins of clo

I enjoyed the demos - I'm not exactly sure why, but I guess it felt like I was making a lot happen when really I was just moving the mouse around. I think that, when you step back from programming in text, and think of it as 'crea

I find that 1-2 days, maybe 3, is a good number before getting a review. This doesn't mean they have to be finished with their piece of work, or that they even have to commit the code at the end of the review, this is just so a second

1. The reviewee should self-review his code before he calls you over - that means going over changed files and undo'ing those that are unneeded (i.e. where only a newline/space was entered). They should also read through their cha

In asmjs you see this sort of syntax 'num | 0' a lot [0] to enforce that the number is an int, so that may be where he got the idea. [0] http://www.sitepoint.com/understanding-asm-js/
