Hmm, but the problem with having in-memory objects rather than a db is you end up having to replicate alot of the features of a relational database to get a usable system. And addi…

Basically, yes. A shader is basically a function which passes in the x,y coords and spits out a color, and this is done for every pixel on the screen. So a simple shader would be s…

I dunno about the GP, but it's a JPL guideline to never use dynamic allocation after initialization. So it's not unthinkable. I'd suspect that many microcontroller programs might h…

That's the punchline, nobody knows what it does or why it was needed.

Never specifically heard about this terminology until now, but after looking, yeah, I can see why ppl prefer 'artificial' keys to natural ones. From the animal shelter example, for…

> Agreed. Tweaks: I don't think C++ is going to be relevant for much longer, Rust solves the problem space better. I would say that in the domain of game development C++ (which is …

I'm sure in every educational system you can use some form of metric to exclude low SES students and conclude that the system isn't behind or failing.

Still has the issue with screwing up mechanical objects. In their demo checkout the wheels on the skateboards, all over the place.

The reverse is also quite true. You can get a thing which just seems too slow/fiddly/buggy/etc, but it's in an area where you are unfamiliar with, so you pass it off as just your m…

Another one: Boat stands for Bust Out Another Thousand.

"In the early days DSE was like Jaycar." Not that surprising. The origin story of Jaycar is that when DSE was being sold to Woolworths DS took aside an exec at DSE and said that Wo…

Should be noted that for Portal it didn't even have a narrative really, just a games long monologue. It was closer to Notes from the Underground than most game narratives.

"The net worth of that group ranges from about $1.2 million to $20 million per household, Stewarts says." In Australia apparently all you have to do to get into this group would be…
