That’s just how all Diablo clones work; basically consider it asset reuse… Power fantasy during leveling / campaigning always comes from being “ahead of the curve” gear/build wise …

> It's true they don't HATE people, but it's also true they absolutely have no conscience in negotiations and have zero concern about relationships. Sure. Like a lawnmower.

For that purpose, you’re perfectly well off just leaving it as an opaque blob; compress, base64 encode and stuff it into a string/varbinary column and call it a day. You don’t even…

Idk how big of a market pure city driving would be; I imagine most city traffic sources from the suburbs Unless this is meant for like taxis, similar to auto-rickshaws in Southeast…

For these agentic AI systems, like a human operator, the LLM needs to have a wide variety of operations available to it, gated by permissions and authentication. They should be cal…

The problem with ORMs are 1. They pretend SQL is standardized, and support a heavily reduced featureset for any given database as a result 2. They leave awkward holes in their abst…

The smell is 50% the asset packs available in the respective stores. The other 50% is the default character controllers and the default lighting settings

The issue I find with this pattern in docs/tutorials is that the prefix makes it very obvious which functions are from this library. It's particularly worthwhile when looking at th…

Wait TFA is like 90% a copy of whatever the PDF is on this website. It just prefixes it with a small story

> literally save like 20 seconds in some cases because 1 HUGE query becomes 8 straightforward ones with maximum index usage. I don’t understand how splitting a query up would have …

> This is because taking up 100% of the CPU effectively captures 100% of RAM Isn’t that only true though specifically at 100% CPU utilization? If it were at 90% CPU, then you have …

If you take out ordering, then lookups on your SoA are now a search, and n-field lookup on an entity is now a JOIN operation. The smarter you get about it, the closer you get to an…

It’s a good abstraction layer, and a fundamentally good/effecient model of organization and data management. It’s a horrible language, has a meaningless standards doc, some of the …
