Agreed. Especially the ability to split an object into multiple components/traits and have an operation run automatically for every component type appeals to me. It just seems elegant and 'good design', similar to 'compo

Keep in mind that we don't really know who wrote the Bible. It's not impossible they may have known things that we don't.

This post stirred up some memories from long ago, when I was trying to understand assembly. I had written a program to test my knowledge, not very long, a couple of pages, and when I thought I was finished, I ran it to see how it worked. It

Yes, I think I like the overall EnTT design, but I've only toyed around with the ECS part, to learn how to use it. I still haven't entirely figured out when it's best to use an ECS and when to use a scene graph and if it make

It may be a dying art today, but up until around 20 years ago there were still PC games coming out written entirely in assembly. RollerCoaster Tycoon is probably the most complex one, but also Transport Tycoon and Locomotion, all by Chris S

This looks pretty well polished and maintained, I wasn't aware of it. So far, I've used an alternative ECS called entt: https://github.com/skypjack/entt https://www.libhunt.com/compare-flecs-v

I see. So then, I guess, all it knows about my code is what I can feed in a given query. Thank you.

At the rate it's progressing, it looks like pretty soon it's going to be able to do most tasks an office worker does now and then start running things. And it reminds me of the plot in System Shock: What's going to happen whe

My point is, I find the whole C++ bashing bizarre. Not to mention the never-ending Rust evangelism. Rust is a good language and tracking memory access and ownership is something that's not always easy to do in C++, even with smart poin

I don't know about the NSF, or when will governments get in on AI, but you're probably right, the technology will become open source in a while, as it has happened in the past. It looks much less likely for the cost of developing

ChatGPT is, of course, a great piece of software, but the huge hype is probably what it will be best remembered for. Also, since currently, AI is the exclusive playground of big corporations, to me it's a bit puzzling how some people c

The upside is, if the AI ever really gets that scary good(aka singularity), we can always ask it to find a solution for our current troubles. Btw, can entropy ever be reversed?
