You can compile .NET to native statically linked binaries, too.

IIRC in the modern .NET runtime, System.Random should come from here, which is updated somewhat regularly: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/commits/main/src/libraries... . Althoug…

How do you accurately resimulate if you don't rollback everything to the previous state? E.g. a giant wall moved from point A to B but it was accurately predicted (no rollback). Do…

Other than the fact that WebGPU sucks compared to modern Vulkan + extensions, there’s nothing stopping you from just using webgpu even in a native-only project, with no further abs…

You can expose a C interface from many languages (C++, Rust, C# to name a few that I've personally used). Instead of introducing a new language entirely, it's probably better to wr…

Presumably because Minecraft is the only application which still uses OpenGL but would use the extension

Not sure about gpt3.5, but this sort of thing is not new. Quite amusing, this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42331013

If your goal is to learn Metal, then just start with Metal. It's a significantly better-designed API. On top of that, if you're developing on an Apple device then you'll have a dec…

> .NET OTOH is working on its own project to massively reduce async overhead Where can I read more about that?

IIRC the couriers were invulnerable, making the strategy even stronger as you couldn't kill them to stop the flow of consumables. Also, according to this Q&A post on reddit ( https…

Even most technically-minded people still use QWERTY on full-size computer keyboards despite it being a terrible layout for a number of reasons. I really doubt a new, nonstandard k…

> The brewing process helps a bit but you you can just boil water after all. Was this widely known?

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is incredible, but dangerously addictive. It's the perfect game for a 4-5 hour plane ride -- speaking from experience over the recent holidays.

This is true, but you do have to enroll by day 60 as far as I know. It’s also a royal pain to get hospitals to readjust billing if you retroactively purchase COBRA coverage after r…

Source on that?

The existence of individual vehicles with very high mileage doesn't feel like a good signal for overall reliability or maintenance req's over a lifespan. I did some brief searches …

Chrome the browser is a desktop application, websites you visit in it are not.

I've used Colemak primarily for the past 5 or so years. However, the benefit is primarily in typing comfort and hand strain, not quite as much in speed, although it is probably mar…

This is ignoring the fundamentally-different issue that was raised, which is that the service boundary introduces a new failure point that doesn't exist in a function call. What yo…

> For the probably best known example, Unity used to have an IMGUI [1] but they've actively moved away from it. It's still there in vestigial form, the API is not removed, but game…

> OpenAI has a list of something like 7 restrictions. Some of those are very major, though, and I think the word "restriction" is a bit misleading. Having 5 invulnerable couriers i…

Indeed. And to explain further: not all hero combinations are equal. Meaning: you cannot select any arbitrary set of 5 heroes and expect them to perform well. Different heroes have…

There are a lot of very successful indie games written in C# (entirely, not just in a scripting layer). It is very popular for game development.
