Are you missing a /s? The Seth Rich conspiracy theory[1] has no factual basis in reality. It's a political smear to muddy the waters most likely started by Russian propagandists as cover to their hacking in our 2016 elections. [1]

I only dug into this because people were raving about it. Never played D&D, but it did remind me of those text adventure games I played as a kid. When humans play D&D as the game progresses, are the rules of the world that people es

Could someone explain the appeal in keeping this going long-term? When it was posted here, I played it and read several adventure logs here and on reddit. In every case the story is nonsense. Sure some parts read like something a human woul

True, but this supposed "Definitive Guide" has plenty of references to Objective-C where it does help. My point was that I'm not an expert, and I see things missing.

"Definitive Guide"..."Exhaustive"? Really? So why do I only find tips like changing from debug to release, or enabling 'Parallel build' which is enabled by default? And no mention of ccache? It's as simple

Many answers suggest passing -Wall -Wextra to the compiler. In my experience, this misses many useful warnings. Here's a good list of additions warnings that usually produce useful results: https://kristerw.blogspot.com&#x2F

Writing game engines in C++ without using any OOP features, makes perfect sense to me. Other than the author likes C, he failed to show me why his approach is better than yours. I found it very light on details.

Why not just do a full, clean build when you hit strange bug? If your workflow is anything like mine, partial-compile and tools like ccache have saved months of hours I would have wasted waiting for the compiler.
