FYI apparently the www.* link doesn't actually have the menu for some reason? It's just the world graphic and a blank menu bar. You need to visit http://thebookofshaders.com/

the ps3 development difficulty was definitely complained about during its usage cycle; the standard ps3 vs xbox360 argument was that the ps3 had far superior hardware, and xbox fans would always counter with no one could make use of that ha

So when you say “sanitize user input”, you meant “store unsanitized/unvalidated user input in the local DB, and then sanitize it on sync to the central server”? You’ll need a hook into the syncing process to do that. Perhaps something

No I get that; video games are just my medium of choice. The problem I was trying to get at is these arguments and perceptions usually stem from the degenerate cases, which only get worse the further in time you go, but I don’t think it’s r

I’ve been theory crafting around video games for children on the opposing premise. I think fundamentally the divide is on the quality of content — most games have some value to extract, but many are designed to be played inefficiently, and

If the database is local, your web app database access is local. It can be modified and changed by the user, unlike code hosted on the web server, and any sanitization can thus be bypassed . Meaning the user has effectively direct access t

…what? If I tell the PM the info needed, and he sufficiently produces the PPT without error, then it’s done? Why do I need further back n’ forths to make it consequential? The number of passes/reviews is directly tied to error rate. If

Does any RBAC system actually tell you the missing permissions required to access the object in question? It’s like they’re designed to create this behavior

I’m not making that assumption. I’m suggesting that the difference between AI impression and Artist Impression is number of iterations — the solution to this disagreement. Both terms are acceptable to use; this argument is fundamentally abo

Why does it matter whether they can learn? If I let them run off after a single pass, then yes their understanding of my understanding is relevant. After the Nth review, it’s not. The latter is ideal, else you have the game of telephone The

When I dictate to a PM how they should present my stuff in their useless PowerPoints, that result could be called the PM’s impression. More specifically, their impression of my impression of the subject. But after I’ve iterated with them N

I’m not really talking about eliminating the query compilation step — that’s always useful. The dynamic query compilation however — the planner executing on every submitted query — is generally less so but fundamental to RDBMS goals. Query

He’s basically just asking for SQL without the query planner because it’s obnoxious and how often do you have unconstrained arbitrary queries hitting the database that you don’t have the chance to vet anyways? The database is hidden behind

Choosing terminology without context is probably a terrible idea in general; you’re basically forcing everything to fit that “describe complex topics like I’m a toddler” framework, which is terribly inefficient for any non-novice practition

iirc it’s exactly 12 pentagons required to tile the sphere with hexagons, independent of hex-tiling size. So it’s almost fully consistent, and uber tries to put most of those pentagons in the ocean

The problem with AI hallucination is not that it confuses similar things (that’s just the model being wrong), but that when the AI has no “clear winning answer”, it can and will respond with absolutely anything within its search space, with

You need a lot of capital in order to acquire the domain experts. The main question, once you have the capital, is whether you can correctly identify an expert, and set them up to be functional/productive

If it ends up being something like 80% non-crucial and stays fired, the other 20% return with double-pay, you’re probably still running a net-positive with better resource allocation

That’s what I mean by CTE being variable-naming. There’s nothing stopping you from using CTE’s and you’d probably make the same decision under this syntax, using CTE’s to give “names” to the partial solution And like function-call chaining,

I don’t think this impacts your usage of CTEs; it’s a reorganization of the SELECT statement, and presumably enables the use of multiple operators and ordering of the SELECT clauses (eg you can have multiple WHERE clauses and it’ll do the r
