Those instances where people demonstrate verbatim copies, are mostly either well known snippets which have been copied a million times already, or obvious completions of a partial verbatim piece of the supposedly copied code that any coder

Yep. Most of the people I know don't want to pay subscription fees for cloud services, when their own desktops are powerful enough to run what they're working on. Just automate localhost development environment deployment.

Consistently applying a design language is probably more important than the design language (e.g. your rule of threes) itself. Except for exceptions to your design rule which will form the finishing touch. :) Another nice design palette rul

I had random freezes and power cycles until... redoing the electric wiring in the house! My guess is the washing machine, which was down the same line as my office (in addition to our main supply line being extremely undersized), was causin

All the computers I've owned and used are still in working condition, except for one. The oldest ones all have had their hard drives replaced, the oldest desktops all had GPU upgrades. Upgrade one, and shift the rest down the line. Onl

Interesting read. Thanks for the links! Explains the hardware rationale for tiled renderers really well. I remember tiling techniques being used on desktop mostly for localising lighting passes. Being able to cache framebuffer tiles to get

Neat. Getting a triangle to render is 99% of the work to getting games running. Only the remaining 99% to go... :)

A lot of developers seem to underestimate how fast well-written software can process things...

It's an effective setup to make people feel included or part of Epic in some way. (Adding everyone who wants access to the organisation.)

Use Qt for tool GUI. Write your own game engine, it's fun. Other programmers aren't God. Use OpenGL ES or Vulkan. Windows, Android, and Linux are really the only platforms that matter.

I use VPN services because my ISPs routing has a strange habit of going the wrong way around the globe and making mystery detours through the US. Picking a good point in-between helps to get on less congested paths.

At some point if you make your AI advanced enough it'll generate you wrong answers just out of spite.

Liberica coffee goes by the name Barako in the Philippines. Might help with the search. They sell it in large bags here on the local markets. (No idea what for, though. Pretty much everyone here just drinks sugary instant coffees...)

The issue with SoR was not really technological constraints. More budgetary and time constraints, and the people who had the creative vision left shortly after release. The commercial game is now run by a finance guy and a web developer, pr

Look for the Ryzom Core Discord or IRC chat. There's a couple of us in the open source community hoping to build such a thing, based on an existing MMO codebase and assets. The key point is that all missions should be impactful on the

That Nightwish video already gets into the flow half a minute before peaking at the time stamp. Very effective. The Dream Theater track does nothing for me, it sounds too clean cut. One I remember from my childhood that always did the trick

Can they be recycled, or is it another dead end? Trash brick projects are popping up every few months or so. It seems more like a cheap filler material than a sustainable product.

Don't know the guy, but being silent about whatever acts of kindness you've done is fine. Bragging about your good deeds is not good form.

In general, the first step is to put that grounding rod, put a big enough wire (whatever the standard is for 32A will do) from there into your house. Your ground circuit can be separate from your regular wiring, that's okay. Don't

I had ground added to my house in the Philippines. The electrician will not do it correctly until you specify exactly what you need. They will always bias towards the cheapest option, because that is what most people want here. You need to

Same. Visual tools at the time were just nice ways of learning the underlying systems. And who needs server side scripted includes, when you can use table and frame tags all you like.

This looks clean and very readable. How's the experience on the programming side, though?

It's real. Now that I think of it, I vaguely remember in early primary school frequently finishing tasks* early, and then having nothing to do, or being put on some time wasting activity. Not very enjoyable. Might be a learned behaviou

Oh, yeah. I never went to max level in an MMO I used to play. Once you reach max level in a skill tree, there's no more point in exercising that skill. The reward is that you no longer get rewards. So, why bother? The goal of reaching
