There are two separate things here, interpenetration due how contacts/constraints are solved, and whether you do continuous collision sub-stepping or not. For stability and perform…

All but two state's electoral votes are decided by the result of the popular vote in that state, congressional districts have no effect on that. Local and proportional representati…

No, ranges in C++ are analogous to the iterator trait in rust

I'm not an expert in the topic, but my understanding is RGB is a poor color space for computing color difference. This could be why your mosaics end up so washed out. [1] suggests …

In addition, in Tim's post on the python mailing list he says he developed the algorithm after reading through a number of papers on sorting[1]. So while the algorithm was develope…

Worth noting that ucontext is quite slow (at least on linux): https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/libs/context/doc/html/...

C library public headers are commonly two levels deep to so that projects using them can add the "include" directory to their header search path and in their code have #include " /…

Your rotation widget is nonstandard compared to most other 3D editors. See for example Blender[1] or Maya's[2] widgets (which are both basically the same). It's also kind of confus…

I'm not a fan of 0 (zero) having rounded sides and O having straight sides, I think it should be the other way around.

In LAPACK you would use dgetrs to solve for x directly with the LU factorization.

Also for the 3d every direction needs to be visible by at least 2 cameras.

I don't think they're textured cubes, each larger cube is made up of a grid of individual voxels, each with a single color.

Despite the fact that signed overflow/underflow is undefined behavior I'm pretty sure that many more bugs have resulted from unsigned underflow than signed overflow or underflow. W…

How is it more difficult to control what people say on USENET than on the internet at large?

I think it's more likely because Unity has been targeting the smaller dev market since it began, while Unreal only seriously started targeting that market earlier this year with it…

Since you're using the auto-tuned index for FLANN it's going to build a large number of indexes to try and find the best performing one, which can take a long time. Properly tuned …

I would imagine the crunch is significantly lower on a game engine as opposed to a game where you are usually contractually obligated with your publisher to release a final product…
