I see plenty of references in the articles I clicked on. Surely if Odin is all that notable, somebody somewhere's written something about it in a SIGGRAPH paper, at least?

Cited sources are as-close-to-truthful-as-one-can-manage. This is how one avoids having the truthiness of the editors matter.

The person you're replying to isn't me (the person you're quoting above), but to be clear: I'm not trying to be insulting, here, it's just kind of a bizarre, eyebrow-raising thing to see. There's a reason you&#

Taking 2.5 megabytes per second of compressed new state information, uncompressing it, and applying it (across the "thousands and thousands of networked entities", etc, that keep being talked about) to the game state? All the memo

Client performance characteristics? Speaking very broadly... I can't imagine a game that'd need that much data unless it involved a lot of streaming assets (audio, video, etc) or really, really naive netcode.

by thunderfork 3mo ago
If you're using stream compression, 20mbps would likely be a lot more than 10 times as many objects (and you shouldn't be serializing the whole state every update, and... yadda yadda) You can fit a lot of game in 2mbit/s wi

Yeah, this strikes me as strange. If you're sending that much data constantly, you're either syncing too much stuff too often, or you're not using compression when you should be (shout-out to Oodle) Something that this articl

Game data and video data have very different constraints. Depends on the nature of the game, of course, but with jitter and all that, video can just run a buffer and manage network conditions (more) trivially, but a game needs things to be

"one can say a group took an action in some cases, so it must be right to say a group took an action in this case" is not compelling.

by thunderfork 3mo ago
Responsibility is a separate question from correctly reporting on the events that occurred. "A protestor shot someone" is correct, "a protestor shot someone and the group is culpable" could be argued, but "the prote

Insane charges, insane justifications, and judging by the comments in this thread, I feel insane for having ever believed in the myth of the "decent conservative".

An individual shot someone, unless you think multiple people were helping pull the trigger.

I feel like "the upside of the privacy invasion glasses is that parents can have induced videographer anxiety where they once would have had to suffice with memories, how horrible" is not compelling. I wouldn't malign you, bu

Well, there's your problem. You've gone from "teach kids" to "economic value". Keep your eye on the ball, not on the stands.

To be clear, they're taking about an "edutainment mode" feature, and not the standard game with its narrative about templar-aliens.

Wikipedia doesn't "ban viewpoints". I'm guessing you're referring to their considering some sources as more reliable than others?

There are definitely regions where "engineer" is protected in such a way that "software engineer" isn't kosher (some provinces in Canada, for example)

"the facts in this case are not the debate" Yeah I disagree, buddy, the unsourced nonsense is very much debatable. My opinion is that making things up is embarrassing, and doing this whole "woe is me for the spirit of debate

Another reason water and ICE cars don't mix is the wiring harness. Even if you don't flood the engine, you'll be having trouble with the electrical for the rest of the car's life. (Or, at least, that's the conventio

Kysely is the name of a typescript query builder and also Finnish for "query". Recently, it's started answering any search about Kysely with a blob of Finnish. Awesome stuff, guys, great work.
