more specifically, the bug is due to a buffer overflow during paused chat, and presumably deviant undefined behavior between the original execution and the replayed execution. and most importantly, it has nothing to do with the non-determin

In that case, animation belongs to the same category as audio — it exists outside the simulation state. But I’m not 100% that’s even true; in the context of replay, I imagine it’d be more appropriately part of the sim for it to scrub prope

the notion of using time directly in gamedev has always confused me; it feels like the correct answer should be to simply have a notion of turns, and a real-time game simply iterates over turns automatically. And then so many turns are exec

if its deterministic lockstep, then all you need to do is record inputs and replay the inputs, since the engine itself is guaranteed to behave the same. If it's client/server and non-deterministic, then you need to record the enti

That’s the compression, same story in factorio. Before/after compression it’s static, so you can avoid having to update any value. The main difference from factorio belts I think is actually in the insertion — if there’s no room in th

By making the roads single-direction and roads owning the movement, I think it’s been made equivalent to a conveyer belt… which means factorio’s conveyor belt optimizations might be relevant. Eg storing the delta between items rather than t

I don’t know if it anyone was really making bets around it… it’s just kind of individually meaningless to implement support for until it’s already popular, because you still have to support IPv4 in full until the day you can remove it entir

Per the article, it’s new to browsers, not compression generally, due to the lack of standardization. the future is already here, just not evenly distributed.

I mean daemon was the previous winner before agent, and that had a solid mystical-djinni element to it. Monkey would have naturally gone the way of the daemon, as software development “matures” and undergoes corporate sterilization

If you discard the human-readability component of it, JSON is an incredibly inefficient choice of encoding. Other than its ubiquity, you should only be using JSON because it’s both human and machine readable (and being human-readable is mai

The SQL standard defines more of an aesthetic than an actual language. Every database just extends it arbitrarily and anything beyond rudimentary queries is borderline guaranteed to be incompatible with other databases. When it comes to pro

From-before-select has nothing to do with composition as far as I can think of? That’s to solve the auto-complete issue — put the table first so the column list can be filtered. Things like allowing repeat clauses, compute select before whe

They’re used by OLAP workloads because columnar properties fits better — namely, storing data column-wise obviously makes row-wise operations more expensive, and column-wise operations cheaper; this usually corresponds to point look-ups vs

I’m not saying columnar databases don’t have indexes, I’m saying that they get to have indexes for cheap (and importantly: without maintaining a separate copy of the data being indexed), to the point that every column is indexed by definiti

Even if you guaranteed the calling code would always logically continue running the function till completion, you wouldn’t have the guarantee the code would actually resume — eg the program crashes between the two calls, network dies, etc.

Zonemap / skip indexes don’t require sorting, still provide significantly improved searching over full tablescans, and typically applied to every column by default. Sorting is even better, just at the cost of a second copy of the datas

A row-based index is a column-wise copy of the data, with mechanisms to skip forward during scanning. You maintain a separate copy of the column to support this, making indexes expensive, and thus the DBA is asked to maintain a minimal subs
