Even as a hobby game dev, I look at these and gain appreciation for just how much went into this kind of work. Particularly of note to me is the memory calculations for models right in the design doc - I'm sure for solid reasons

"so, participants use models and apply them to change behavior, making the system harder to model (!)" I am ignorant here, but isn't this property true of iterated prisoner dilemma situations? Is game theory not an adequate m

For a usage like that, no as you'll probably rack up lots of allocations and need to GC eventually. But if your goal is this from the outset, there's way to do it as other post mentions. If you never create more than a fixed amoun

Sure, I'm just saying embedded systems also care about GC cycles

Does anyone have a convincing break-down of the overall economic effect? Remote has meant I sleep more (compared to a long commute). As well, my home has advantages - there's a dog here, patio access, etc. I think communication can be

You could disable the Lua GC and mostly manage C buffers with Lua functions. There's some precedent given that Lua has been used a lot in embedding

That's an interesting thought. However, inconsistency in propaganda is real if you consider embellishments can differ greatly. The key is to control the conversation. You can easily censor an RPG chat, for example, to the same effect

This unfortunately worked much better before it was feasible to hide everything behind a server, having no releases so to speak at all

I wonder how often these projects truly need someone with on the ground experience guiding it, as the textbook tasks as you say are easy for even the humans

I will caution that while I 100% believe you can work any number of hours and not burn out, giving it your all can put you in a vulnerable position if things go south. Just one source of gratification gone can be enough to kick into burn ou

I have to wonder here. The videos tab continues to show results, is this just leaking the fact that they have a unified image service globally?

I'm always curious with just how much my husky uses her paw to "activate" things. We definitely reinforce the notion by helping her out with whatever she paws, but it does seem like a cultural thing she's learned rather

At this point, if I don't need efficiency I just use JSON as my wire format. Need to integrate a C++ card game engine with emscripten? I expose 2 functions, one that dumps all as JSON and one that accepts legal moves. The JSON syntax i

I did a Masters on gradual typing for JavaScript/TypeScript. I definitely felt that a great practical implementation was lost in AS3. It made me first appreciate that dynamic typing is a godsend in truly dynamic cases, but otherwise ty

The whole QUIC thing showed that new protocols must play nice with the many layers of packet analysis. I suspect that a real-world informed approach will differ quite a lot from an ideal design - and a company "way ahead" has more

When doing calls to secure a mortgage, I definitely got a lot of "... And when your house appreciates in value...". On principle, I didn't want that getting to my head. Especially as I really do rather hope prices fall sharpl

They are, finding item size cap bugs and alerting the devs seems all in the spirit. To me there's just an elephant in the room - the idea is dead in the water. The latency dictated by the internet does not support their ideas. It will

Yeah it's a big reason articles are written, as others have mentioned. I give some leeway for people shilling their own creative work

The ideas in the paper were novel, perhaps (didn't check) but there was far more to learn from looking at reviews where bugs did slip by than doing their experiment. You could probably calculate the bug acceptance rate by category of b

It doesn't have to be a problem, however sharing fewer interests is what I meant by 'gradual drift'. Someone I share 0 interests with that also doesn't just enjoy my company I will eventually interact less and less with.

My friend bought some weed. Some years later, it turned out that could have funded a down-payment if he held the BTC. I'm not sure he talks fondly of his user experience

I bet if Carmack said he's becoming a better coder, I wouldn't blink. Everything sounds clumsy if you're convinced the ideas they convey are clumsy

Hey applets could manipulate JavaScript data/the DOM. There is a bit of bark to the 'Java script' bite. It was very slow, though, sending through the JVM process and to the browser process each time you read or wrote a value

Do you own a house in that city? If so, you would suddenly have a ton of house ownership problems your friends can't relate to. It is those sorts of things I am referring to I can't help that one of my most active chats right now
