Is it? One tactical change I've realised recently is the handoff of goalscoring responsibilities to wide players. This seems driven by defenders getting really good at both organising and one on one situations. The new goalscorers are

Yeah, doing my thesis with it right now, but not sure if it's worth looking into. For one I'd have to brush up on ASM, while the two-core Pico lets me meet my requirements as-is anyway. Pretty cool though, you can write VGA driver

The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't provide breadcrumbs when diffing. If you've set it to collapse unchanged fragments, it can be hard to tell when a line is in another function, conditional block, etc. Otherwise, yea

For a game scripting language, Wren posts a pretty bad result here. Think it has isn't explicitly game focused though. The version tested is quite old however, having released in 2016.

C FFI takes 123 seconds?! That's pretty insane, but if you mean 123.2 ms, it's still very bad. Doesn't feel like that would be the case from using NumPy, PyTorch and the likes, but they also typically run 'fat' func

My (Australian) partner opens WFH group meetings with "hey guys", while working with mostly other women. Don't know any one that has taken offence to guys personally, either.

Not debating that, was just wondering if this is the sort of workflow they were used to. When I used ProBuilder and ProGrids, the workflows there weren't quite as intuitive for me. Not bad, I just didn't put the time in to get com

Verse isn't entirely a new language, it's actually them acquiring the team behind SkookumScript, as well as some external hires such as Haskell/Microsoft Research's SPJ. Excited to give it a try when it releases, will be

Just curious, have you seen the new tools in UE5 for prototyping levels? I haven't used older game engines, but these are rapid enough for me for blocking out a level. https://twitter.com/highlyspammable/status&#x2

Not sure what any of those complaints have to do with visual programming. BPs are pretty fast, and efficient BPs will be faster than inefficient C++ for example. Crashes and bugs are hardly unique to visual programming either.

Is it? In most languages you do something like `time.Sleep(1 * 1e6)` instead at which point it could be a second, a few minutes, a day, who really knows? I'm just not seeing any major downsides of this, keep in mind `time.Second` isn&#

I very briefly trialled it out of curiosity, as I was just finishing the job where I was using Go daily. It wasn't as full-featured as GoLand, but the UI and performance was a fair bit nicer. The only major drawback though, for me, was

In a time where C++ exists, C still gets used. C interop is even easier in C++ than Rust IIRC, so given the choice, C++ would get the nod much earlier I'd imagine. That said, people use C because it forgoes abstractions and complicatio

I wouldn't say that applies globally however. Plenty of NPCs get locked into sequences of attacks when they have no chance of hitting you, simply because they started an attack sequence. And that isn't a problem, because these gam

My go to answer for that question has become "not enough to keep me there". Worded a bit nicer usually, though!

Not to sound obtuse, but that just sounds like browser history at that point. What sets it apart, aside from only storing the "fatal pages" - the pages that tabs were killed at?

Amazon makes you jump through something like 5-10 app pages to cancel Prime. Almost felt like breaking up with a particularly desperate partner.

Am I missing something, or does this assume standard tuning? Can't seem to switch it over a 7 string for example. Edit: nevermind, looks like all of that is supported, but I was looking for it towards the top of the screen.

Facebook succeeded because it made money, which is the primary objective of for-profit companies. The government (and people) represent the interests of the people, usually.

Time spent hard skills that can transfer to software engineering, movies/TV shows, scientific simulations, robotics, etc. is not wasted. If you've wasted your time on projects and now feel burnt out, that's fine. Doesn't

That's a good thing, because the alternative interpretation is that even non-mainstream tastes and niches are being catered for, when that wasn't the case before.

Oh that describes pay to win, but the comment I replied to was admonishing "play to win", which sounds like what you would want.

Ah I stuffed up, the parent comment said play to win, which sounds like how games should be?

Ironically, Bungie broke off from Microsoft in hopes of more creative freedom, but as per the article, are running an even tighter ship now... Unfortunate.
