An array still isn't a part of the problem domain, for most problem domains. It was introduced as part of your solution but it isn't in the same vocabulary. A great example of transferring between problem domain language and imple

Trees are not all alike and I think this stops most such plans. Some trees have types and tags, quoting of other trees, container patterns that are representable as a tree but unpleasant to edit. And we get stuck on that and say "Let&#

The boundary for transformation is established in several areas of media. Recorded samples from the line out of a synthesizer are owned by the author of the recording, even if they're factory presets. Likewise, bitmap conversions of a

That may just be misplaced energy. If you can't study but you can sit there practicing guitar or working on a hobby coding project for hours, you are certainly capable in a physical sense. But your mind cannot say "I will do my ho

There are no norms for working from home. Hence nearly the first thing you discover is how much you respected the norms you were familiar with before and how far afield you will go before you decide to rein in your lifestyle.

The market is fluid enough - which isn't to say it's in good shape - that developers who are decent can usually find a high enough salary to stay quiet and cooperate. Unions arise when workers have a reason not to stay quiet and t

To echo other gamedevs in this thread: Games are a lot of design powered by a little bit of code. The code can be fairly complex in instances, but the engineering isn't a primary goal. It only has to be "there" enough to supp

As much as I adore all the Jay Miner-led designs, in the grand scheme of things most of the advantages they posed come from being brilliant - and highly customized - relative to their time frame. The Sharp and NEC computers marketed in Japa

Diamond square is often swapped out for Perlin noise in terrain generators. They give very similar effects, but Perlin's method is a little more flexible along certain parameters(e.g. arbitrary offsets, zoom-in) while diamond square ha

The most concise original text is the Enchiridion. I would link but I'm on my phone now. It's a wonderful read.

I think I know what this trend is, more generally. It has to do with how explicit our code is. We've been through an era where you have some very powerful and compact indirection constructs(event callbacks, polymorphic objects, dynamic

Nobody can say! But the main thing technology is doing now is pushing us to engage design skills and critical thinking. Just "knowing ML" or "knowing blockchain" makes you a potentially useful product or service, but not

I'm increasingly convinced that looking and thinking too deeply on people matters(news, history, organizations, relationships) is like staring at the sun. There's nothing much to see by focusing your gaze on it, it blocks out stuf

I am developing a rule of thumb for this: the more pointedly in-depth your technical question is, the more likely you produce false negatives through obfuscation of intent. The grandparent's "what does this mean " question s

Very good point here The outlook of gamedevs to new tooling tends to be pessimistic because so little is actually geared towards what they work on, or want to work on. On the other hand, Web and mobile games have lived with the consequence

With respect to recorded music it tends to be the opposite: if you pitch up a track then the rhythm feels tighter and the vocals more steady, because the differences between the intent and the performance are relatively smaller. Hence an ol

Your best bet in this situation is probably entrepreneurial, in fact, because that path lets you believe in yourself and your ideas. But you will need the inclination to follow through and that is ultimately a matter of finding the ambition

Agent/asset also explains related attitudes including homophobia(blurring lines between agent and asset), culturally accepted abuse(instrumental to asset control), and honor culture(no room for expression outside the agent hierarchy).

There's always something to anticipate around the corner, because the future is actively marketed to you. Oftentimes this marketing precedes the actual goods being of value - for example, VR went through a hype cycle circa 1990-1995, t

Answers to this question tend to get philosophical very quickly. The literal act of sending a message is democratized to the extent that we share protocols like English, UTF-8 or SMTP across our systems. But the social value of the message

I made one crucial change to my schedule which goes against a lot of the training advice I see online: only train once per week per muscle group. This usually means a split over two days and the rest is recovery. What I lose by doing this i

It's not that it won't correct, it's that the correction offers no guarantee of being humane. In the 20th century, the population of horses (in the US) started declining rapidly, from a high of over 20 million in 1920 to unde

The PS1 can be characterized as "half-software" because the geometry transforms are done through a CPU coprocessor, then sent to a mostly-2D GPU capable of filling in the gaps with affine transformations. This unusual pipeline acc

Ignoring the color space is hardly a world ender for most applications, but it has an effect on quality that can be subtle to drastic depending on what you're doing. For example, arcade games emulated in MAME often have a washed-out lo

You probably are in agreement. The point of putting in any time is that you have to develop an appreciation and sometimes new skills or techniques for whatever it is you're doing, before you can act on it in more than a cursory surface
