Same thing happens in Ice Cube's "Are We There Yet" where the characters are driving from Portland to Vancouver but the whole movie is filmed in Vancouver and surrounding area.

"If your company’s cutoff sits at 85, I fail 65% of the time. Same exact resume, different luck." Sounds like they have replicated the existing recruitment process

The main difference in my proposal is separating git completely from asset management and replacing it with a flexible, scalable system built for that purpose
35.
by justinhj 4mo ago
I see Git as a tool aimed at experts that spend time to learn the tool. Asking non technical people to use it is a mistake. You can build guard railed apps on top of it for them, but probably it's the wrong tool.

One of the reasons I left the game industry, or at least one the benefits of leaving was to not have to use Perforce any longer. Albeit a necessary evil, hopefully lore is better. I always wondered if a combination of a database to index as

Both Emacs and Neovim reward rtfm and working up from a vanilla configuration to your own custom one. The distribution style packages for these editors make the user skip all that initial learning and discovery. It leads to people writing p

What metric shows performance? Lines of code added, deleted, number of commits? None of these are are good measure of quality and actual contribution.

I had no idea git metrics could show your best performers

There's a perl script in the book that does some encryption/decryption. I remember typing it out and fixing it so it worked.

Yes. There are all kinds of reasons companies need the guarantee of no training and this is a deal breaker for everyone with such a reason.

They already have a very codependent relationship because of their revenue share over putting Google search up front in iPhones so I doubt either party would put that at risk.

This is like the Adam Sandler movie where he says bomb on an airplane. It's an overreaction, is it not? A terrorist is not going to call their bomb's bluetooth trigger bomb. Even if they are, are you telling me we have no idea w

Passing an allocator around is a design choice of Zig, so yeah, it is not supposed to be avoided
48.
by justinhj 5mo ago
An arena allocator lets you treat a series of allocations as a single block. In cases where you find yourself needing to micromanage a bunch of small memory allocations you can simply ignore freeing them individually and free the whole aren

And many a game developer doesn't have to write any of this because it already is commodity software.

A lot of game development is not technically sophisticated, especially when the engine is bought or developed already. The other factors are the hit driven nature of the business, meaning you can spend years building a game that flops, and

Thanks for the tip. If they are representative the results are quite surprising. Anecdotally, I always thought Go would be on one of languages LLM's were best at. https://github.com/Tencent-Hunyuan/AutoCodeBenchmar

I was thinking along similar lines today. An AI assisted audit of the issues that caused segfaults could find and implement safe memory management patterns in Zig. It sounds like the Rust port process essentially has had to do this anyway

Whilst the conclusion of the article certainly seems plausible, it glosses over the cost calculations and simplifies them too much. The cost of a subscription is somewhat offset by being guaranteed income regardless of usage, following the

Very informative post. I think however we are not at the point AI can be taken to court. We know it can hallucinate, we know that context can fill up or obfuscate a rule and cause behaviour we explicitly didn't want. If you give the AI

I am seeing an increase in stories upvoted here that contain multiple obvious errors or lack of basic fact checking. AI to blame or we are all vote happy for stories that float our boat in some way?
