On a console every 1mb of binary is one less mb for assets. We ran LTCG on every game I shipped.

Yup, instead of DRY I'm a big fan of WET, Write Everything Twice. Third time? Maybe consider a refactor at that point.

Low and high explosives are a very specific thing relating to how they behave in a compressed spaces. If you've ever done model rocketry you're restricted to low explosives for both motors and ejection charges, at least in the US.

It's SRAM vs DRAM not the speed of light. Go take a look a DRAM CAS values as clock speeds have increased. The ns/fetch has stayed pretty static(~10ns) since DDR first showed up. There's been slight improvements but nothing l

You have to factor in the 1.5x overtime that's standard on hourly. I went back and did the numbers, it was closer to $6hr but well below minimum wage for a dev position. From the little bit of salaries I heard art, design and test had

The game industry as a whole was pretty fucked when I left. I remember doing the 40hr+1.5x overtime calculation and realizing that if I wasn't salaried I'd be making $4/hr with the mandatory hours we were working(70-90 hrs&#x

It's listed as one of the more common[1] hypergolic propellants with LOX, pyrophoric is pretty much a superset of hypergolic(just that earth air brings the oxidizer "for free"). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

by vvanders 6y ago
Yeah, hence why I said "similar" they're both hypergolic if I remember correctly.

Reading about how toxic thruster fuel is was a real eye opener for me, bunch of god damn idiots in those boats. If I recall right the SR-71 used similar propellants to get the afterburners lit which made fueling... interesting.

UPS has a very strong union and benefits so not really following your point here.

Was it this one(30 minutes in)? https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/2-661 Probably one of my all time favorite performance talks.

Beckhoff still uses them as the basis for their PLC platform[1] and the exist in a lot of other embedded contexts as well. [1] https://www.beckhoff.com/english.asp?embedded_pc/cx1010.htm

Camping knife? Unless you don't have a multitool a leatherman will be far more useful and is a usable knife in its own. Most EDC(Every Day Carry) knives are sufficient for most of what would come up camping. If you're going to car

Yup, I've got a small little rust component that translates a couple industrial sensors on modbus + rtl_r443 over to an influx database and it's been happily running along for a few months now.

Yup, +100 on Benchmade. Their locking mechanism is the best I've ever used(strong, can be used single handed with gloves on, and doesn't put your fingers in the path of the blade). We've got a small farm and put their blade

Yup, the laws around knife possession/self defense are much worse than many other things, at least in the US. As the OP mentioned running is a better choice and only if no options existed should you even consider it. (not a lawyer)

I guess... I you really want to split semantics dead reckoning term[1] comes from predicting your self position(which the article talks about). Back when I was in games any sort of predictive interpolation was usually under the header of de

by vvanders 6y ago
This covers dead-reckoning which is super interesting and tends to lead to designs where you "predict" things since that's easier to design for than reaction based game models with latency. The other really common one is &quo

Remove autopilot from a Model S and it's still a hell of a car. Just from a pure driving dynamics a mechanical engine can't touch a VFD in terms of power dynamics and range(which is also why Diesel-Electric locomotives use them).

Except that ham radio has been around for much longer(1909!) and hasn't exploded like the internet. Honestly that's the one thing that I like about it, it hasn't been heavily monetized in a way that's brought in large ac

Only experience I had with a goodwill repair was way out of warranty for a non-safety item(stuck exterior door handle) so they definitely aren't limited to warranty or lemon issues.

The problem with that though is it leads to situations like today in the US where mask wearing becomes political. It's very much a framing of I could have a small chance of something bad happen vs my community will greatly benefit

Have a source for that data? Just because it might be lower risk to children still means that they bring it back home which gives you a near ideal vector to reinfect a large portion of the population.

Yeah, the push to re-open schools just seems like a bad idea on multiple fronts, this part included. A few teachers I follow are being asked to name someone who can "replace" them if they contract covid. I can't wrap my head
