It’s not quite the same effect as a camera. Eyes also do things that cameras do not.

Path tracing isn’t really physically accurate, as it also models how cameras work. Path tracing is considered “photorealistic “. I’ll have to dig into this project more, but all pathtracing algorithms start with the fundamental principles o

Since modern 3D renderers are already designed to render in a photorealistic way using fundamental principles of light transport, what does this technique actually offer that the renderer itself does not offer? Path tracing follows the basi

Don’t waste too much time trying to convince the commentor, as they have a history of accusing people of “spewing noise” in threads about C++.

You asked "which ones?", I answered with some drawbacks to note, mentioned there are pros and cons, answered your question (with links you didn't fully read).. and you proceeded to go on a defensive tirade accusing me of nois

geometrically, a vector is direction that points from one point to another -- it is one-dimensional, like a line between the two points.

Herb Sutter's main discussions on this are nearly 15 years old lol. Like I said above, pimpl went out of style maybe a decade ago due to advancements in language design, learning about its flaws, etc.

Half right. The other half is that you literally will die if you also stop working.

by jb1991 3y ago
Exactly this. Pimpl idiom is just a bandaid and typically goes against the main benefits of the language.

There are discussions in many places about this, including right here on HN. I encourage you to Google it. Here are some examples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24537267 https://www.cppstories.com/201

And you hit on the exact reason why torrenting will never ever die: it offers all the key features that these big companies are trying to remove.

Pimpl has so many other drawbacks, though.

As someone who uses a butter knife literally every day, I am offended by this comment.

Since it’s not actually mentioned in the article and I found myself quite confused, “LTS“ means “long-term support“. A pet peeve of mine is when bloggers write articles without defining in a single simple parenthetical what the acronyms are

Perhaps if HN eventually improves in this area then we will have all the proof we need that it is in fact becoming more and more like Reddit. Because it seems like a lot of the discourse is already checking a lot of those other boxes.

The question was about whether hacker news allows you to remove your content? It does not. You can send an email just to have your content anonymized, but it will remain forever.

It's a lot more than "looks great on paper." My suspicion is that you have not really used and benefited from these features in a non-trivial way or you'd understand why they are there.
