As far as I can tell: yes. The top z-layer of designated stairs will always become pure down, the bottom layer pure up. But I think you can get around that by designating one more z-level than you need, and then…
Most likely, yes. Combined indexes are real cool, because if the database can satisfy a join only from the index, it can usually perform it completely in memory, instead of having to do a table scan/hitting the disk for…
Cyberpunk 2077 at least pushed the rendering part of the engine into next-gen territory: Volumetric lightning and fog almost everywhere, environment reflection on even the smallest water surface and monochromatic light…
I think I get why this might be the most effective: When I look at that, my mind completes it to a stick figure, like an optical illusion. At least to me, that one is immediately recognizable as a human.
I think it is worth pointing out that Chess.com did sign a contract to buy the Play Magnus Group last month. I dunno what to make of that, but this whole thing could have been handled a bit more professional...
Yes! The game itself supports [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] in the ini. Depending on the version you might need a virtual x server to trick the game into starting though. Used that to run it via wine + quemu on my android phone, at…
The categorical imperative (kinda) ALWAYS works for a single action, thats the real power of it. No matter the situation, applying Kants reasoning to a possible action will always give you a definite answer - Moral or…
Kants moral philosophy (the categorical imperative) is deontological, which means it is based on the action (and only the action) itself. Intent and Outcome are important in other moral philosophies, but for Kant these…
Depending on the clock frequency of the chip, a change in the length of signal carrying lines (i.e. from one gate to the next) can already result in a phase/timing shift that ruins the circuit. It is not uncommon to…
In comparison to most other mammals (including the neanderthals), we are pretty awesome at adaption. Probably even better than bacteria, all things considered. That is because we possess multiple different ways of…
You cannot separate the morality of an action from it's usefulness to business, thats putting the horse before the cart. Modifying your last sentence illustrates this nicely: You can argue that slavery is a net negative…
Maybe something changed, but I thought array concatenation with ~, associative and dynamic arrays as well as exceptions rely on the GC as well. It's a short list, for sure, but thats not the point: Anyone looking into…
I dunno why you assume that I don't know about them... Apart from that, they came pretty late, are still in experimental, and don't change the fact that only a subset of D is usable without GC. I very much like D, I…
I can agree that writing documentation is certainly more boring than writing code, and lazyness tends to play a role in the willingness to complete boring tasks. But there are many legitimate reasons why one would…
Just because you say so does not make it so. You provide no argument, only assertions.
> Hydrogen brings with it other challenges. Maybe it's easier, maybe it's not. Neither of these two solutions have been deployed at any significant scale so we really don't have a good idea. We do have a rather good…
> Power to gas needs a source of carbon to produce methane. Only if you want to produce syngas (methane). If you store the resulting hydrogen directly, no carbon source is needed. That makes storage more location…
That is simply not true. In order to convert elecricity to methane you first have to REMOVE CO2 from the enviroment. If you subsequently burn that gas, you arrive back at the CO2 level you had before the P2G process.…
The article misses the point the grand parent is making: People with autism lack (to varying degree) the ability to decode social clues and - based on that - behave in socially agreeable ways. Since the other side…
This might be an unpopular opionion, but anyone who feels that Stallmans antics make him unfit for leading the FSF is also not someone I want have any say in that organizsation. It shows a lack of ability to discern…
I have never viewd it that way, but you are absolutely right about the danger. On the other hand I have now seen multiple games where the developers were implementing wine specific bugfixes. I think it goes both ways:…
