As far as I can tell: yes. The top z-layer of designated stairs will always become pure down, the bottom layer pure up. But I think you can get around that by designating one more …

I want to point out that none of your points are an actual indicator of how good someone is at programming. They are important in the context of a job, especially in a team, but no…

Most likely, yes. Combined indexes are real cool, because if the database can satisfy a join only from the index, it can usually perform it completely in memory, instead of having …

XFCE ist really nice. It comes with different presets and can be made to cater to ones preferences rather easily. It is the default of xubuntu, which imho is a good first desktop l…

Yeah thats fair I guess, it IS hard to see whats so special about it. Imho, it's the same deal as with monads: Outside of pure functional languages with a strong type system there …

Hah, when I wrote that I was thinking of qualifying it a bit better to prevent the very obvious objections. It really depends on the language and what kind of goto you mean. But in…

One big difference: GOTO ist not bound to any scope. Which ist no wonder, its usually just syntactic sugar for an omnipresent assembly instruction: JMP. Algebraic effects are less …

Probably by learning how humans have to balance their extremities to remain standing upright. The camera angle with respect to the enviroment is likely a factor too, since errors g…

Cyberpunk 2077 at least pushed the rendering part of the engine into next-gen territory: Volumetric lightning and fog almost everywhere, environment reflection on even the smallest…

I think I get why this might be the most effective: When I look at that, my mind completes it to a stick figure, like an optical illusion. At least to me, that one is immediately r…

I think it is worth pointing out that Chess.com did sign a contract to buy the Play Magnus Group last month. I dunno what to make of that, but this whole thing could have been hand…

Yes! The game itself supports [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] in the ini. Depending on the version you might need a virtual x server to trick the game into starting though. Used that to run it v…

No need to assume, it's publicly documented history: The 1969-1974 German goverment of Willy Brandt pursued a new foreign policy towards the Soviet Union, "Neue Ostpolitik". Part o…

The categorical imperative (kinda) ALWAYS works for a single action, thats the real power of it. No matter the situation, applying Kants reasoning to a possible action will always …

Kants moral philosophy (the categorical imperative) is deontological, which means it is based on the action (and only the action) itself. Intent and Outcome are important in other …

Depending on the clock frequency of the chip, a change in the length of signal carrying lines (i.e. from one gate to the next) can already result in a phase/timing shift that ruins…

In comparison to most other mammals (including the neanderthals), we are pretty awesome at adaption. Probably even better than bacteria, all things considered. That is because we p…

You cannot separate the morality of an action from it's usefulness to business, thats putting the horse before the cart. Modifying your last sentence illustrates this nicely: You c…

Maybe something changed, but I thought array concatenation with ~, associative and dynamic arrays as well as exceptions rely on the GC as well. It's a short list, for sure, but tha…

I dunno why you assume that I don't know about them... Apart from that, they came pretty late, are still in experimental, and don't change the fact that only a subset of D is usabl…

Certainly not the sole reason, but the mix of language features puts it into a weird spot: You have great control over memory layout and can easily embed assembler, which would be …

The ruling by the german constitutional court was definitely not judicial overreach. For one because rejecting laws on constitutional grounds is the main purpose of that court. But…

I find the argument for this move unconvincing: Nvidias failure to meet demand is somehow the fault of... the customers? But since there are morally aprehensible workloads, it is t…

I can agree that writing documentation is certainly more boring than writing code, and lazyness tends to play a role in the willingness to complete boring tasks. But there are many…

Just because you say so does not make it so. You provide no argument, only assertions.
