Hmm, but the problem with having in-memory objects rather than a db is you end up having to replicate alot of the features of a relational database to get a usable system. And adding all these extra features you want…

Basically, yes. A shader is basically a function which passes in the x,y coords and spits out a color, and this is done for every pixel on the screen. So a simple shader would be something like (in pseudo code):…
I dunno about the GP, but it's a JPL guideline to never use dynamic allocation after initialization. So it's not unthinkable. I'd suspect that many microcontroller programs might have to be really careful about using…
That's the punchline, nobody knows what it does or why it was needed.
Never specifically heard about this terminology until now, but after looking, yeah, I can see why ppl prefer 'artificial' keys to natural ones. From the animal shelter example, for people it uses email as the 'natural'…
I'm sure in every educational system you can use some form of metric to exclude low SES students and conclude that the system isn't behind or failing.

Tangentially related, but I remember reading years ago a piece from a graphics driver developer (nvidia maybe?) that one of the reasons why the opengl driver was slower than their directx driver (I believe) was that the…

Still has the issue with screwing up mechanical objects. In their demo checkout the wheels on the skateboards, all over the place.
The reverse is also quite true. You can get a thing which just seems too slow/fiddly/buggy/etc, but it's in an area where you are unfamiliar with, so you pass it off as just your misunderstanding of the thing. Whenever…

"In the early days DSE was like Jaycar." Not that surprising. The origin story of Jaycar is that when DSE was being sold to Woolworths DS took aside an exec at DSE and said that Woolworths were going to run DSE into the…
Should be noted that for Portal it didn't even have a narrative really, just a games long monologue. It was closer to Notes from the Underground than most game narratives.
"The net worth of that group ranges from about $1.2 million to $20 million per household, Stewarts says." In Australia apparently all you have to do to get into this group would be to actually own a paid off house. :/ I…

Of course, those are two prime characteristics you want in a tax haven. You want it to have rule of law since you don't want your money/assets/secrets expropriated or exposed, and you don't want a new regime to come in…
Obligatory comment about how an operating system is "system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs" and not just a program that executes at…
Well it would be nice to have a no-code solution that elegantly can be moved into a coded solution, but I suspect that a company that makes no-code software has little incentive to help ppl stop using no-code.
> There is no one enjoying ill-gotten gains here. Well if it's found that the construction/design of the building is at fault, then it will be the developers.
In one of the states of Australia, there is a law that mentions someone by name: http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/bill/cab2014300/ Was done as a stopgap just to make sure that it was impossible for him to…
For Advent of Code, you lose a minute of time for every wrong answer. Also in most how-to-leaderboard guides it's heavily noted that making mistakes (ie. bugs) is going to cost you the most times (anecdotally, I'd agree…
