I think its really just the trappings of game development being full of tribal knowledge. The tutorial probably should have instructed you create box colliders for walls (giving a …

That's not a bug just an inherent problem with using very thin colliders with a discrete collision detection system. It's not a Unity problem and Unity allows you to configure cont…

For a while now Unity has an incremental garbage collector where you pay a small amount of time per frame instead of introducing large pauses every time the GC kicks in. Even witho…

I think they mean the original amiga files, not the nft image which obviously right click save is the same as buying it .

Do you not plan to go grocery shopping or do you always do it on the spur of the moment? I'm not sure what the issue is. If you need to pick up something small from the store on th…

I don't know if you're joking but Ultima online was obviously released 20 years before GitHub actions existed

There's more of tangeable value from buying property in virtual game worlds in the sense people get to use those property or items when normally in the game they would not be able …

When you reallocate your array you will in memory have your old array and your new larger array while you move your data over. At the very least you're using 2x and the extra memor…

It's not great to have to double your memory usage while you reallocate your array. On more limited devices (see games consoles or mobile devices) you'll end up fragmenting your me…

Should we be training on TIS-100[0] to be ready for when these chips become a necessity. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIS-100

Exactly, the smaller your chip is the more you can fit on a silicon wafer. If your chip is too large it can even make it practically impossible to manufacture at scale due to the i…

Yeah I thought it was just a scare tactic and something the licence 'enforcers' could say (i.e. 'our detector van says you have a tv') to try and catch people out. They surely can'…

The M1 is on a 5nm process from TSMC. I'm sure if AMDs Zen 3 (eg Ryzen 5600x) was also on that process instead of 7nm the perf/power ratio would be similar

Is it a violation of GDPR if the data is anonymized?

I'd second ImageOptim on Mac or PNGGauntlet on Windows https://pnggauntlet.com . I'd be careful using pngquant as well, as it will only ever give you 256 or less colour image or yo…

I believe there's a python static webpage generator that's been around for a while that already makes use of that name: https://github.com/thanethomson/statik

PyQT isn't LGPL though, it only offers GPLv3 or Commercial licensing.

It looks really bland and unremarkable now. Maybe just a little bit understated.

I guess they can by brokering a deal with the bad actor in charge of your mail server. Unlikely but email is still bound to social manipulation.

They might be concerned that one of 'you' had their consciousness terminated prematurely, if only for them wondering on the next transport if they get to continue experiencing life…

Is there any point (for games) in having that much memory when you can really only address about 9 GB a frame at 60Hz (Titan Xp is 550GB/s)? I mean its certainly better than the Ti…

> My theory is that all software eventually becomes difficult to maintain and full of warts, regardless of smartness, regardless of conditions. If a code base doesn't change too mu…

std::unordered_map ::iterator it = hashmap.begin(); vs auto it = hashmap.begin(); I find auto useful for cutting down some of the verbosity of templates STL containers, but I can s…

Are you paying national insurance on your income? Otherwise, without income tax and national insurance, you're effectively looking at a wage of £22k, and from what you've said that…
