I can completely follow your logic. And I completely agree that going supernatural or decending into a soul-debate is not constructive. That was not my intent. Still, you and I can probably agree to some extent, that there is an inner eye i

What I find fascinating about consciousness is that it seems to be bound to your location. But how and why? Why are you inside of your body and not in someone elses? The article poses this question, but leaves it unanswered. For me it begs

This is really cool! Thanks for the article 1) Is it possible that the algorithm will fail to find a suitable tile and needs to restart? 2) I don't understand, why or how you get those rectangular ponds and lava areas in the first yout

I recently heard about OCPD, Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder [1]. I strongly believe, that someone I know very well falls into that category. There are a lot of habits which align. like the need for lists, strong moral compass, un

No, but like in every other programming language you can implement something like that yourself either by 1) nesting arrays (columns) within an array (rows) and access items them by map[x][y] or by using a single array and transform x and y

Climb the wall. Written white on black on my desktop background. It's kind of funny, how sometimes random stuff you see on the web sticks to your head. I think it was one of those procrastination links on Hacker News which somehow brou

I feel with you. The last time I tried to use Windows Forms with .NET Core was underwhelming. What some people don't realize how huge the .NET sector is (at least here in Europe). A lot of businesses and public services are running on

Now, what's your opinion on adaptive sync (Freesync / G-Sync)? Isn't it superior to V-Sync in all regards? I guess, in the near feature we will see even phones supporting this.

I believe, if you really want to understand how a game engine works, you need to try to build a game from scratch in your favorite programming language. It's a fun exercise and you really grow as a programmer. If you use an existing en

I recently learned, that you're able to switch the git user dynamically based on the folder the repository resides in, by using the includeif directive in your gitconfig. [1] This is very useful, if you have separate accounts, for exam

Social media is neither good nor bad. It is a tool for communication. Most users benefit from social media and you can't condemn them for not questioning other aspects. Nevertheless, it is essential to question the intentions and proce

The thing is, most software starts simple and easy to use. It's the introduction of new features and edge cases which slowly kills usability over time. And this applies to desktop, web, mobile and commandline applications as well. A to

I would love to get into erlang and beam. As far as I know, Beam must be a great tool for servers and webservers in general. But can I use the language in other scenarios, too? For example commandline tools, desktop Gui's or games?

Could also be a combination of missing social queues, lag and low quality audio. If there's a teams session with multiple people, it happens quite often, that two or more people start talking at the same time, which feels very awkward.

I know what ECS is and why it's needed for some games. But for a large group of game developers that transition was simply too overwhelming I think. Not just the nomenclature: ECS, DOTS, Burst Compiler, SRP/HDRP/LWRP/URP

This looks like fun environment to work with. The less pixels you need to push around, the more you can focus on gameplay. But I painfully learned, that even binary pixel art needs a good eye and patience to do right. I pre-ordered my playd

I love Proggy in this regard [1]. It's so hard to go back to an aliased font after using Proggy for a while. Also it's easier to see the structure of your code with smaller fonts, because you can simply see more of it at once. [1]

I would honestly like to know, what is so groundbreaking in this book? After looking through the pages I feel in no way wiser than I was before. The article of this thread at least has some practical tips and guidelines, what to look out fo

If we're in a simulation there could be a way for information to flow out. In this case, we could do things we're really good at. We could influence a viewer by showing them a myriad of ads for example. Or shift their political vi

Looks good. Fair pricing. I hope it works out for them. I started out with self-hosting mail-in-a-box [1]. If you really want to self-host, I can highly recommend it. Would be the cheapest option. At some point I decided to let go of it, be

Somehow it is easier for me. Can it be that I can drag the mouse faster to the right as a right-hander? Maybe because the cursor is more often on the right, because of scrollbars on the right side? Maybe because many programs have their ver

It's even more annoying if the change just happens because of 'design'. Can you imagine being the developer who says: "Well, let's redesign that thing to make it look awesome. And well, let's also remove all th

This is a shame. I always was the odd one who put his task bar to the right, but it makes so much more sense if you have many windows open. I can scan over the titles much faster vertically. There's more space for task tray icons and I

I'm a huge fan of git fork [1] on windows (or mac). Looks good, never failed me and does everything I need (branching, rebasing, merging, squashing, cherry picking, blaming and it can even show lost commits with reflog). And it perform

Capping and/or gradually lowering the the integral part seems like an elegant solution. Thanks for your input! This is something which is never told but should be part of every PID controller resource on the web.
