I've used PID controllers for some things in game development, but mostly for simple stuff like specifying a target velocity. What I always have problems with, is using pid controllers for angular movements. Like turning an object to a

This reminds me of Unreal Tournament '99. Would be cool if there were announcer sounds in Outlook, if you send many mails in a short timeframe like this: https://youtu.be/C3_ToT14lt0

What is not so obvious to me: When should WAL be used and when not? Does it even make a difference? It says that WAL might be 1-2% slower on read heavy applications, but how much faster is it for write heavy applications? I'm trying to

This musicleague website is probably the worst landing page I've ever seen. What the heck is it? And why should I log in? What company is behind it? What has it to do with Spotify? What's their target audience? Did they intentiona

Very interesting read. Some things about the difference between middle/senior/lead-developers is a bit too generalized / controversial. But this quote stuck with me: "What you do not want are employees who are blindly fo

How do you handle servers, which need to be accessible by desktop, mobile and web application? Can I use those low level API's or do you know some server/client libraries which simplify this for UDP and TCP channels?

You're right if course. What I mean is, would it hurt to just package firefox? Or is it really that important for some developers to have access to Chromium or Chrome?

Is there really a reason to run Chrome or Chromium? I'm running Firefox since forever and I can't remember the last time I've seen a "Runs in Chrome only" banner? Why can't those Linux distributions just ship w

On the last advent-of-code I thought, that I should give Lua a try. But geez, on windows I really had a rough start. First and foremost there is no easy guide how to even get started. Do you need MSYS2? TDM-GCC? Should I use WSL? Are there

This largely depends in the IDE. The thing is, that a language like Nim is 'competing' with other languages like Java, C# or Python where interactive debugging is a given. I would highly prefer a language which compiles down to C

I've used Nin for this years advent-of-code challenge. Never used Nim before but there are some great tutorials [1]. It's a nice language with a great standard library. Implicit static typing is great after a bit of getting used

Only after watching a short but interesting documentary on youtube about wet markets in China [1] I understood why they are so interested in keeping that industry operational. It's as bad as it is, but unfortunately wet markets also se

I think lifetime can very well work if done right, but not at zero cost for a user. You need a healthy business with guaranteed sales. FL Studio [1] is one example which does it right. After buying a license you get lifetime free updates. B

I guess, writing debuggers is hard and if you need to support multiple environments or console debugging it's probably wise, as a programming language community, to simply make your users adopt print-statement- or gdb-debugging. But as

I owe Basic a lot. It got me into programming on our first family pc, a Compaq Presario around '94. QBasic was accessible on every windows installation from the command prompt. You could read the programming guide built into the editor

Very interesting talk. My favorite takeaways: 1) The basic physics of sand, water and gases is quite simple. I was impressed by the fact, that he implemented most of it in Q-Basic way back. Thinking about this a bit more, Q-Basic looks like

The thing is, that some people are not able to rest without resolving an issue. It's worse if one side is hyper-sensitive. If you're in such a situation, putting something aside is not an option. And I also know from first-hand ex

I think most of the times. when we have an argument, it is because we think about something differently or do something in a way which the other side would do differently. Arguing helps uncovering those differences and leads to understandin

I have a natural tendency to walk away from problems or ignoring them. Fortunately I have a wife who cannot rest until we're ok with each other. I agree that it's unproductive to talk about something when emotions are out of contr

One of the best things I learned from my wife: Never go to bed angry. If we have an issue, we talk it through until we find an agreement. It's actually harder than it sounds. The worst thing you can do is not talking about something or

You're doing perfectly fine and I admire your modesty. Actually, on a personal level I feel the same. I need a notebook, a table, a bed and a roof and I could not be happier. But things change I life and with them your goals and maybe

We process, merge and create PDF files. Sometimes large multi-GB PDF files. We try to adjust and optimize them in parallel, but often we also need to merge different files into one for further processing, for example printing or archival. W

Exactly. If you reach a roadblock you need to be aware, that there are risks and rewards to whatever path you take. For example you can invest a lot of time in learning some kind of framework and get really proficient. Maybe that opens up n

As such, Advanced Beginners can break one of two ways: they can move to Competent and start to grasp the big picture and their place in it, or they can ‘graduate’ to Expert Beginner by assuming that they’ve graduated to Expert. I think, t
