Your division of 'artists' and 'programmers' into separate tribes is almost too telling.

I'm going to challenge the question - if I've got something written down, why would I need to memorize it? Maybe in school where closed-notes tests are a thing, sure, but nowhere in the 'real-world' tests one's abil

The new V6 vocaloids even with the AI expressiveness still sound very much like vocaloids. There's a specific timbre to the way they pronounce certain vowels or do odd formant shifts that always comes through that I'm unsure of if

Not to mention they were integrated into the machine itself - picture 1-4 floppy disks fitting snuggly inside your PC right where they're supposed to go and where nothing else even could go, versus a handful of usb sticks of various sh

this is what kills me about games these days, not just multiplayer games where you have to play the 'meta' if you want to stand a chance, but even single player games where every choice is viable but people will make fun of you fo

I have a friend that's convinced that her ADHD 'causes depression' because her brain does not produce 'enough dopamine'. I'm noticing more and more among my peers a mythology around brain chemicals that's

Yes actually, particle motion is quantized on the planck scale, that is, snapped to the grid. That's why it's called quantum physics. Modern theories even have it that there are no particles, rather, excitations of various qua

Is there actually an API out there that actually qualifies as RESTful, other than the WWW itself? When you really take the time to consider the spirit of RESTfulness, and the designs and constraints of hypermedia in general, I can't

Wow, I should have read this before cadence-per-cadence making the exact same comment! I have no idea why nobody uses bookmarks and everybody keeps hundreds of tabs open. When did that start? Who even has the RAM for that? How do you even c

I'm not sure at the end of the day there's such a thing as 'intelligence', in terms of how we talk about it, like some sort of RPG stat. In my experience, kids aren't really 'smarter' than other kids, they

and to think I almost made this comment if I hadn’t continued scrolling! Also the form of the sprites changed significantly, it was a massive shift in artistic personality and aesthetic direction that the tutorial just called it “not using

by moth-fuzz 4y ago
how exactly is it a hard problem? You don’t have to rotate the sprite by sining and cosining pixels by hand, you can just render to the same resolution as your sprites and it’ll look fine. The problem is that most indie games render at 2x o

by moth-fuzz 4y ago
Having pixel art and then each “pixel” being 4 or 16 pixels, obvious when scaled or rotated, I think is bad artistic form regardless of whether it’s a vintage styled or modern styled game. It breaks the flow and suspension of disbelief that

Well, historically, 4.0 was made to be roughly equivalent to 3.3 IIRC. 4.1 didn't add much and 4.2 started seeing changes going in the direction that was roughly complete by 4.5 I'd say. So each version bump in the 4.x range is ju

the thing about Rust's ownership model is that a reference is not ownership, it's 'borrowing', and should be treated as such. But - and here's the kicker - the borrow happens as long as that reference is stored , n

This has been kicking my ass lately as I am trying to build a generic GL abstraction over the past year or so. OpenGL is in such an odd state that the actual graphics hardware hasn’t changed significantly in a decade or more, but the API ce

Let's try an analogy - you dole out the whatever thousands of dollars it takes to buy a robot from whatever engineering company you fancy, including all the parts, labor, rare earth metals, venture capital interests, and whatever else

My argument for minimum wage has always been a philosophical one - human life and human labor has intrinsic value and any company's bill of materials ought to include labor. The 'market price' of a human life is, say, rent an

Honestly this type of workflow is what I love(d) about rails. ERB is a nice enough templating language such that most trivial functionality is pretty much HTML, but dynamic content can be added in in a php-like way. Equally 'jammable&#

I find it difficult to articulate, so forgive me if I'm not getting my point across, but the gist of what I'm trying to say in that section is less about straight binary compatibility and more about API design in general, playing

C++ has a myriad of wonderful language features that exist entirely within C++ and cross no language boundaries. I really adore C++ as a language but unfortunately I find little pragmatic use for it unless I'm working 100% inside C++ a

My only contention with Optional<T> types as opposed to NULL/nil/null is that in practice they're almost useless. An Optional<T&> is a pointer, plain and simple. If NULL is one of the expected values, it shoul

What does one have to do to get as clear and pretty of a UI as that on the modern desktop OSes? Everyone switched from bitmaps to vectors over a decade ago and now everything is fuzzy, antialiased, scalable, flat, hard to make out. Of cours

This article is chock full of cynicism with no actual factual reasoning. Deeply reactionary and without any actual point. A polemic, at best. Need I count the number of references to tumblr, tiktok, social media memes, dyed-hair left-leanin

The thing about DID and IFS is the underlying recognition that most people have parts, sometimes dissociated (as is the case with BPD, for example, and other dissociative disorders), and that this is part of normal human psychology. The c

Why do these types of comments come up in every thread about C++? Sometimes people who like C++ just want to talk about C++ on the internet. It doesn't have to be for everybody.
