Ahh, so that's what that is... I was wondering why I was getting so many 2fa alerts.

Sounds like we just need to import some Chinese wasps to eat all of the stinkbugs, then needlesnakes to eat the wasps, then needlesnake-eating gorillas of course... and in the winter the gorillas will simply freeze to death! Easy.

All of these engines (Unreal, Unity, etc.) are written as monolithic "frameworks" that want to own the top loop and have you override certain bits to customize behavior. Also, the nature of games requires that various components

Note that ATS has a limited version of dependent types as compared to Idris/Agda/Coq/etc. As I understand it, you can't run arbitrary (recursive, etc) functions at the type level. But even this 'lite' version

(From the point of view of graphics programming.) The advantage/disadvantage of a 4x4 matrix (i.e. homogenous coordinates) is that you can describe the full transform--position, rotation, scale, and skew--in one go. If you only care a

And the best part is it's modular, so you can reconfigure it into a minivan for your daily commute!

False equivalence. Let me paraphrase your argument a little bit: "If you suffer a sunburn, are you more or less injured than being run through with a katana? No. [In both cases] you're still injured." But of course you can

Ok fine, objectively there's less lyric content and more repetition; and subjectively the lyrics aren't exactly getting more insightful or laconic to compensate.

There's different levels of static linking. 0) Application links to shared .so files in /usr/lib like libpcre.so. This is ordinary dynamic linking. 1) Application statically links all normal libraries like zlib and pcre, but

Well today's lyrics are worse in at least one objective way: number of unique words. In the "good old days" you could at least count on a verse, chorus, different verse, chorus, etc. structure. Then at some point they were d

It's a bit verbose, but this kind of thing is far less prevalent in Haskell anyway; most of the time you destructure a list through pattern matching, not explicit head/tail functions.

They did. The elm-style version is in the standard libraries as: listToMaybe :: [a] -> Maybe a ( http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.11.1.0/docs/Data-M... )

Actually the moon is only 1.3 light seconds away, so a ping of ~2.7s to the moon is possible! Mars would be annoying to communicate with though: 25-44.8 minutes for a roundtrip signal.

Very low reps (1-4) at a high resistance (85-100% of a 1-rep max) is the standard powerlifter workout. But usually you'd do that for many sets. Lifting a 1RM for a single set seems either grossly inefficient (I have a similar max and

The problem with that is that it kind of breaks SQL to traverse the list. Let's say you have a 1M element list, and you want to get the first 100 elements. Normally you would write something like: > select top(100) * ... order

Why would you sell a naked put though? Sell a put spread (e.g. short 155 put, long 150 put) and you can exert extremely fine control over your max liability. $500 per contract in the aforementioned case.
