Plenty of good advices out there. Remember that momentum is key. Someone once said to me, "its easier to get a girlfriend, a job, whatever, when you have one already". So get a job. A whichever job. For momentum sake.

After some time using it you understand it works for everything. Essentially, it features simpler and powerful loops and recursions. So you wrote those differently and end up writing many things differently. That said, I used it for a simpl

Thats right. Though in reality, programs behave in a complex way . You rarely have to insert something in the middle of a list in practice. You rarely do random behaviors, at least in my field. Let me explain. In the game industry, we use

We should do Strasbourg. 2 hours from Paris by train, a few from Berlin and Bruxelle. European name and international notoriety. Great place, climate, used to be fought for by both France and Germany and I think its sounding like a place ea

I think we (Europe) need a Shenzhen-like zone (probably between France and Germany). That is a tax-free (15%) english speaking tech zone.

Why would you debug by hand when you can use a computer? Meant in favor of print of course. Thinking as I write it probably means it's the print statement that should be improved for debugging if anything. Imagine a debugger that colle

I believe this should be the case for most web moderation, it should be mildly regulated and things like shadow banning banned (or at least stated that it's a feature somewhere). I'm not a regulation guy I prefer freedom, but if y

So I will reiterate my little theory, this is not entirely Google's fault, regulations, especially KYC are responsible for this. KYC is incompatible with having a free zone. This is actually the aim of KYC, to remove free zones. If you

Yeah discard use to be slow because it flushes pipelines or mess with branching predictions I don't remember which, I just assumed they "fixed" that by now.

Well there is a specific tradeoff involved in this particular case, i.e. one more processed vertex versus something like +100% added surface, if my triangle maths are still what they were.

Oh, let me clear that for you. The trick discussed here is that you can draw a sprite (a quad) using one large triangle. The sprite is just inside it but the triangle has quite some "wasted" surface.

Nope, I don't think so. The point I see in it is regarding some thought I have about that games should run on intel graphic chipsets. Diablo 3 doesn't for example. I wonder if D2 ressurected does...

Using Goroutines, I also made 10k 2D rabbits wander on a map for 5% of my laptop cpu (they'd sleep a lot admitedly). One goroutine per rabbit, how amazing when you think about it. That's when Go really got me. edit: oh they do ra

Pretty sure overdraw / fillrate bottlenecks before vertex processing. Also you could draw that quad using strips which would then amount for only one more processed vertex compared to triangle. Edit: okay surely with modern architectu
