Unity uses their own AOT compiler IL2CPP that translates C# code to C++. Mono is an option in builds, but most projects are using IL2CPP nowadays and have been moving to .Net core. Although C++ is king, C# has quickly caught up to be a clos

I only looked at the binary example and it’s some of the worst C# code I’ve ever seen. It’s synchronizing every task in a loop instead of waiting for the tasks to complete like the Java example. It’s returning a result instead of using an a

As a gamedev I don’t have time to fix every issue that comes up with the engine. I’m not interested in building a game engine, I want to make games. Unity and Unreal are mature enough that they have understood limitation, workarounds of kno

The number one issue with IT is that companies don’t see the value in having a full support staff and hire the bare minimum to get stuff done. My wife worked for a few big enterprise companies in Denver and they’d only have 4-8 people suppo

I went to high school 20 years ago and it started at 7:15 am and got out at 2:15 pm. I walked to school so it was never a problem for my parents.

I’ve used C++ for near 10 years and I don’t hate it (that’s a lie I hate it with a passion), but C# is just has much more flexibility, has better error messaging, easier to integrate 3rd party libraries, better package manager, better names

A lot of studios are starting to pick up Unity. It’s not that Unity can’t make AAA games, it’s that most of the workforce is used to C++ and Unreal style engines. Most A and AA games are being made with Unity nowadays. Unity started getting

Although blueprints are great, once you have to touch C++ it’s not so great. Tools like Rider for Unreal make it much, much better though. C++ is king of game dev and everyone hates it. Unreal is not regular C++ and handles a lot of resourc

I use linear and I hate it more than jira. It’s jira with all the useful production features removed, making it useless for large teams and qa teams. Beyond simple task tracking it has been a chore to use.

I’ve been using C# for about 12 years. I look at the new features and think of places where it would clean things up or how I could build a new feature. An example: I used readonly structs to replace regular structs that were being passed i

This is a really bad analogy. And mining has many, many harmful impacts on the environment over typical consumer product usage.

Yep and it gets worse, you’ll have teams add new breaking features or deprecate features without letting the other team know. Hey their tests pass so what do they care. I’ve worked with both strategies and modules over microservices are eas

by jbluepolarbear 4y ago
A better solution would be to build modules independently and have a single service use each module. Then things are unified, each team has a client it must deliver to, and issues must be fixed in order for them to be released in the final

Both Jonathan Blow and Casey Muratori have a history of being toxic and dismissive in their own right. I can’t really fault Microsoft here because of how argumentative and arrogant Casey has acted in the past. And Jonathan should have staye

Scanlations of the big Shonen were far superior to the official translations. I read one piece and Naruto scanlated first and then through a subscription to shonen jump. The shonen jump translation were awful. Reading yugioh was so bad I ju

These are two very different sentiments. The first is buy things for you not to impress. Yours is insulting and it’s like saying “I don’t care about your hobby and I’ll insult you for having one you spend money on.”

A replacement bumper from Tesla is upwards of $2000 and would be considered felony theft.

by jbluepolarbear 4y ago
You can modify your car anyway you want and it won’t void the warranty for unaffected parts, but the bumper warranty would be void and that’s like $2000 from the quote a colleague got from Tesla for a replacement bumper and paint.

Spring Chinook, out of the Columbia, are the best tasting salmon imo. The fat taste sweet and zero fishy taste. I am biased, I used to live near the Columbia and would catch fresh chinook every open season.

Not really, I really expected to be very lacking in experience and aptitude. I did poorly in school and I have really bad ADHD and Tourette’s. My expectations as an engineer were to do well enough to keep a job; never expected I’d be a natu

Yes and no to fresh engineers being good. I’ve met many fresh engineers that integrated and soon outperformed their older peers in a couple months. My first engineer position I went from new hire to lead on most projects in about a year. I

If you have burst off Unity iteration time is a few seconds, with burst it’s under 2 minutes (my experience is that it gets longer as the code grows).

I’m spend much more time thinking about what I will write than I do thinking about what I’m reading. In any case my reading is far faster than my writing.

by jbluepolarbear 5y ago
Is it not for you? I’m at least 10 times faster at reading code than writing code.

This isn’t tangential annoyance. This is a social media post that was to be treated as an article. If there was a link to a single article that’s what should have been posted.

When’s this changing? I get 30 inquiries a week for more remote work, there’s 0 chance this changes anytime soon.

This is a skill everyone should be doing. Require everything in writing. I started doing this in office because everyone has amnesia and I was tired of people lying or changing their mind. If you want something done, then go through the cha

Grim Dawn is just poorly implemented. I have a Ryzen 3700x with a 2070 super and Grim Dawn runs like crap.
