    Do you have a recommendation for how to get into ASP? I've read the clingo docs, but it has never clicked.

    Ah yes, AI doesn't have any significant use cases and is only good for party tricks, but also it's going to be used by paymasters to erode wages. If it's useless, it can hardly rep…

    I know programmers are prone to legal hacks that don't make sense, but I'm curious whether the following would work. As I understand it, it's ok to reference a Pantone Color by nam…

    It means round-the-clock as in "it works during the day and night", rather than literally non-stop. For example, if I said that security did "round the clock patrols", you wouldn't…

    In Europe, the floor level with the ground is called "ground" or "0".

    So, just to be clear, you have almost no Unity objects in your scene. The tree renderer reads data from your core game lib, and draws it. Which Unity API do you use for the actual …

    I don't think you've really thought about how awful the middle ages are. > The Kings had access to much more information than they cared about already. Royals used to have portrait…

    I sell an game development tool on the Unity Asset store. Since the peak died down, it's now somewhat under $500/mo, but still does well in occasional sales.

    In most languages Subset would be called a trait or interface, rather than general inheritance. You've picked an example with no fields or overriden methods, so it's impossible for…

    MIT is already an extremely permissive license. Seems kinda mean to complain that something is merely 90% good because you are comparing to something 99% good. What sort of problem…
