    What about cases where e.g. there's an earthquake with thousands of incidents and you need to triage help to the worst? It's not common, but there are absolutely cases where small …

    M:N distribution itself has been massively devalued in Space Age - it’s so cheap and easy to build everything from scratch in situ with the new production buildings. Eg you don’t n…

    Washing ore is probably the easiest solution - research high levels of mining productivity, put quality modules in drills, filter off uncommon+, and loop them through recyclers unt…

    I agree they’ll be viable. They’re much harder to use but roughly equally good. Also my late game experience is probably not representative of the phase just after victory where tr…

    Yes. Quality boosts storage for wagons and speed for trains. Also unloading is more compact due to inserter belt side selection. I did a 1m eSPM base though, and I don’t think the …

    If anything, in immature engineering organizations, preserving netcode invariants to successfully deliver a multiplayer project might benefit from a little of that disposition.

    My belated apologies for the misunderstanding. The irony of me coming here and throwing shade on your work as a result is not lost on me.

    I never doubted that . It’s clear the author knows their shit.

    “Functions use dynamic scoping. This is categorically a mistake, and one which ironically has been suggested to seriously mess up fexprs.” (links to Kernel) It’s possible my interp…

    The dig at Kernel is kind of depressing. It's probably an evolutionary dead end, but god damn it, the world is better when people try things. Dismissing them doesn't make you cool.…

    I had Windows and Mac laptops back then, and the HN snobbishness around the superiority of the Mac was genuinely baffling. My i9 2019 MBP with discrete graphics was probably the wo…

    Are we reading the same post? They literally point to bugs X and Y. I don't see politics, I see frustrated maintainers of a hobby project that aren't particularly professional.

    Bun in its current state absolutely has issues like segfaults. As nice as it is, I moved off of it back to node for production. Folks generally tolerate issues if they believe they…

    Well, I found the proposal clear and your response confusing. There are reasons it might not work, not least of all political. But a link to a paper picking a bone with LCoE is tal…

    No Code, surely?

    From my experience, a tiny alarm sounds, a voice says cyclist approaching and the door clicks to locked. At least I believe it did, I heard a sound. I didn't check the handle. I do…

    Elektrek went from insufferably pro Tesla to insufferably anti Tesla. If you liked it before and not now, your quarrel is with the direction of the propaganda.

    I wrote a library called Temper, which simulates the Rust/C++ memory model with atomics in a similar way to Loom. But it goes much deeper on that narrow domain, and to my knowledge…

    At the intersection of these two topics, does Antithesis have any capabilities around simulating memory ordering to validate lock free algorithms?

    You can still rewind by storing checkpoints, resuming at the most recent before the seek time and fast forwarding from there. The updates thing is a shame. You can store multiple c…

    There's not a lot of churn in Unity, but that's more because they mostly fail to ship anything of significance than due to excellence in backwards compatibility. I was in the audie…

    Yes, absolutely. I did that before vibecoding too, as rapidly editing and testing is so crucial. The way Bevy's internal state is so easily saved and loaded is convenient for this.…

    Compile times are my biggest struggle, too. I'm vibecoding Bevy with parallel agents, and the bottleneck is often compiling the changes on my 7950X, not getting Codex to write them…

    This site is excellent. I emailed the author to thank them after reading it cover to cover, and they replied and asked if anything was unclear or if there was anything I wanted to …

    But this document does not. Note it says 12.5%, not 12,5%. 1 TWh on the scale of a country is very little - a 1 GW nuclear plant operating continuously would generate over 8 TWh a …
