"Zen" just means meditation, derived from Chan in Chinese Buddhism, which is derived from Jhana in Pali. It's not a fantasy ideal, but something you do. Buddhist practice, in general, isn't interested in creating fantasy

I mean, it says quite clearly that no one has built an up-to-date version of Amarok for Windows since 2013, but the bug is fixed in the source code and has been for a long time. That no one has stepped up to package Amarok for Windows in th

I don't follow - role playing games are often most suited to ECS, because you want the kind of emergent gameplay that independent gameplay systems acting on component composition gives you - and the kind of flexibility it allows in com

Just because a subjective experience is ineffable and difficult to describe adequately doesn't mean it's nonsense. It's convenient to lump those things all together, but it's not accurate. After all, asking someone what

I only really know of Bevy that uses ECS for the rendering backend, but iirc even that doesn't really use entities and components, but rather its resource system, such that rendering commands are stored in the ECS "world" but

Well, it does work well for the engine part of game engines, and graphics related code in particular as the GP says - it's just gameplay code where OO falls a bit flat.

Right; for ADHD a keto diet did very little to improve my symptoms, but when I was doing it I was still eating quite impulsively and without a proper schedule or meal plan. Doing those things, creating a routine, regardless of what I was ea

No? Scientific experiments should work to rule out alternative causes, that's the whole point of it. Introducing a lot of structure to someone's life that was previously very unstructured (as diet often is in mentally unwell peopl

Haven't read the paper, but I can't tell from this summary article if they tested any other diet programs as a control - is it possible that the improvement comes from being more ordered and thoughtful about food choices, rather t

Saying "I wrote in my book that..." is basically the same value, in the absence of further information. We don't know how qualified the author is to make such claims, what the motive behind writing the book was, what sources

> even as recently as 2012 the most common advice was "avoid threads and use processes." Ok, I know in the grand scheme of things this may seem recent, but that was 12 years ago. Has the story really not changed since then?

Yes, but support isn't great for older cards so they're not commonly used.

It's a little odd that there's a wasm build that's seemingly only available for download from the official sources, rather than being playable on the web.

That would be great if it worked like that, but for the same reasons that the parent comments lamented about, it rarely does. Often the answer marked "correct" isn't as correct as something in a comment or another answer.

Print code in the book, and have a URL you can check for errata. That's how it always used to be done, anyway.

In Dwarf Fortress it's essential to get a repeating work order for shell crafts set up early to prevent shells taking up all the stockpile space, and give you some extra cash when the trading caravan rolls around.

I think it was a joke - The Ramones have a song with lyrics about a missing cerebellum, but it's a song about a fictional character with a lobotomy.

No, it isn't. ADD (now classified as Inattentive type ADHD) isn't having a "short attention span", it's a huge swathe of neurological symptoms of which having a short attention span might be one, sometimes - but

That's at least partially because of the mismatch between display refresh rate and frame rate - one of the things that makes the Deck's 40 fps mode on the internal display nice is that it also changes the display refresh rate to 4

I can think of MonoGame and Stride as examples/exceptions, though I suppose there are more out there, including peoples' own engines. Most popular engines that expose a C# interface officially or unofficially take the other route.
