Games are a bit of an atypical case, since the overhead of runtime polymorphism (allocation, virtual function calls) motivate many to avoid runtime polymorphism due to the importance of performance in games, regardless of if that motivation

Those preferences come from experience. If experience tells you that code written in a certain manner consistently causes certain categories of issues later down the road, it's perfectly justified to be wary of such code.

It is a good thing that the documentation for different projects looks entirely different. I find that for me, it makes it much easier to keep track of and remember everything you're looking at if everything has a different aesthetic a

It is not the only thing, but rather the first thing that people often write. There is nothing particularly wrong with that, as forth is the kind of language where intimate knowledge of its internals is quite useful, perhaps even necessary,

I, too, would like to have per-dependency security policies. But I can't really see where you would realistically draw the line between dependencies, other dependencies, and your own code. Is a callback, created in your own code, that

With class components, lifecycle management is trickier to encapsulate and reuse since you have to split such things up and scatter them across several different methods or wrap the whole component in a HOC, and in general class components

>why would the country you are in and the language you are currently speaking NOT decide those things (which are defined by said languages.) Because these have no relation to how a particular piece of content should be formatted. The fun

That particular feature has been in place for years, at least for me, just for some subset of videos (maybe those which have been provided with translations for the title?). Luckily I've been seeing it less often recently, whereas when

>Forth doesn't really do data structures It doesn't hand you a ready-made solution due to its extreme minimalism, but that doesn't mean that you can't have arbitrary data structures (and have them be quite ergonomic).

You could very easily make a browser that displays image links inline. Contrary to what is suggested in the sibling comments, you don't need to extend the format with special syntax for inline images.

It can actually represent all integers just fine. It works like any other base, except whereas for example in base 10, positions are multiplied by 10^0 = 1, 10^1 = 10, 10^2 = 100 and so on, in base 1 they are multiplied by 1^0 = 1, 1^1 = 1,

Except for base 1.

>I've got no idea how you'd do that in React. It's simple, you can place a component that provides dialogs near the root of your component tree and provide async functions which open such dialogs to the descendant componen

by mostlylurks 6y ago
You can still do this with React, though. It's quite easy (and useful!) to have components which implement some dialog which pops up when you call an async function, which only resolves once the user has finished interacting with that

An underscore is primarily used as an identifier to denote a variable/parameter whose name does not really matter. It's more commonly used when you're not planning on using the aforementioned variable, but it's also some

The problem is that having a near system-wide locale setting is a bad idea; it necessarily causes friction because it is far less granular then it should be. Ideally, the locale should be a property of some piece of content, if that content

If I've understood this correctly, you can more or less do this in C++ by using voldemort types. Here's a nonsensical but demonstrative example program: #include <string> #include <iostream> auto polyret()
