> This is because taking up 100% of the CPU effectively captures 100% of RAM Isn’t that only true though specifically at 100% CPU utilization? If it were at 90% CPU, then you have no RAM capture, and then you can’t say anything about whe

If you take out ordering, then lookups on your SoA are now a search, and n-field lookup on an entity is now a JOIN operation. The smarter you get about it, the closer you get to an OLAP db Which leads to my theory… I feel like Bevy could be

It’s a good abstraction layer, and a fundamentally good/effecient model of organization and data management. It’s a horrible language, has a meaningless standards doc, some of the worst debugging tooling of modern system and generally

If a manufacturer is unwilling to guarantee/monitor the lack of sesame in their food, and you having a presumably severe sesame allergy… isn’t it correct not to be eating that food? Like previously you trusted their lack of sesame base

The truly correct answer is give the player a mild damage aura/aoe and let the mobs die at your feet on their own. Running away breaks an annoying amount of mechanics, like ingredient farming. The power fantasy just needs them to die t

If you’re a shareholder in 5 companies, each owning 2 parcels of land, each with their own PoA, and you yourself hold land — then you have “influence” into 6 votes, though only direct ownership of 1 vote

Not liking it and having the conceit to replace it (and more importantly, shove your replacement into prod) are entirely different actions. The first is always legal. The second is more often questionable than not

Given that they already made the billion dollar mistake, I find their handling for nulls the best possible thing they could do at this point. I’d hardly call it crazy — rather, it’s exceedingly pragmatic.

I mean, they have to explicitly unpack the error and then choose to do nothing with it. It requires roughly the same amount of code to do the same with discarding an exception. Except with a Result type the fact that an exception can occur

Trivial deployment model, can avoid owning/managing your own server, easier coding in the sense that no-network means you can do normally-psychotic things like N+1 queries and single-row inserts and get away with it. SQLite/DuckDB

If you follow through on there being no goal, there is no working or not-working state, in which case it bears no relevancy on the question of whether "Working" is not the natural state in a complex world! Or rather, you could say

The low latency and instant startup is by far the primary value add imo. Nothing else comes close. The inherent lack of UI bloat is an added bonus.

Oh neat; I’ve been calling it the “economy of the poor” since I can’t find any proper conversation on it. This is the first time I’ve seen someone bring it up But I think the notable aspect is not that they have recourse, it’s that the econ

I’ll read that article later, but that doesn’t sound right — there can’t be so many multi-millionaires that them getting free money is stressing out the system. Quick random googling, I’m seeing the number 3.2% of retirees have more than $1

In a given run, only the top-k sequences are selected. Across all runs, any sequence can be generated, and potentially scored highly. Thus, any sequence can eventually be selected.
