It should also be noted that this is from /r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. I suspect the strategy is a bit like using poor/crazy coding practices for "job security". They basically serialized their work into spread

To extremely simplify it, we're effectively making our lightbulbs smaller and expecting the same brightness out of them. We could keep a bulb going for a century, but it's not going to light as well as we expect.

Thanks, I have been using learnopengl.com because of the 3.3 support. That said, I have been reading the superbible on the side and it has been an incredibly useful resource for getting in the mindset.

Interesting article, I ended up getting the OpenGL SuperBible to take advantage of yesterday's kindle promotion. I thought about the Vulkan programming guide, but ended up deciding modern OpenGL would be an easier starting point. Did a

Sorry, no. It's not something documented other than a cryptic comment in the source code ( FPlatformTime::Seconds() ) assuming some knowledge of floating point number gotchas. Edit: Here's a more detailed post o made about the spe

Similarly, Unreal Engine 4 offsets platform time (a double) by some large value so if it's stored in a float, accuracy errors will be exposed almost immediately. Looking it up, the offset starts out large enough that the epsilon is two

Despite having a formidable Mount TBR, I occasionally branch off into a genre I have barely touched and would like to read more of that genre (example I'm thinking of is horror after reading 14/The Fold). My to be read list is not

It'll send the same codes as any other 10-key you have. That was my issue when I was looking for something similar, as I still use the 10-key on my keyboard occasionally. I ended up getting a Logitech G13 for the same purpose but never
