> What is mess in C++? Just a couple examples: How do you make a shallow copy of an object in C++, how do you do the same thing in C? Knowing I can just memcpy _any_ struct in C and have a valid shallow copy is pretty…
And the fact that you were getting downvoted for this rational take concerns me even more. Scary times ahead indeed.

16 x 7 = 112 days, I’m not sure I understand your comment? Even if it was business days only, 5 x 16 = 80 which is still above the minimum needed.
As someone that got rear ended on my way home from work and had my car totaled a few months ago, I disagree haha
Yep. The company that my 401K is managed through began sending me these stupid emails about “Tips to manage your wealth”, and it was marked as an email that could not be unsubscribed from because it was pertinent to my…
I really don’t understand what you’re saying here. Letters have existed for literally thousands of years at this point and people were able to communicate effectively through that. Several countries were founded and…
The fact that it’s a game that was developed by people that were self-proclaimed “non-coders”[0] using a plug n’ play game engine Stencyl (a no code engine) and then later switching to Unity. It seems to me the plug n’…
You seem to be very intent on insisting that anyone can make a game engine (which I mostly agree with). But, it’s not easy, even when you use a pre-existing framework like Raylib. I’ve used frameworks like Monogame,…
I’m reading the mistborn books right now. I was up until 2 in the morning finishing the first book in the trilogy the other night. These books are fantastic!
I’m sorry, what? The best computer scientists I know, Djikstra, Tony Hoare, Turing, Knuth, and more, all developed practical algorithms and concepts that are still used today! Like the parent commenter said, it’s really…
A more optimistic reading of that sentence is that OP respects the accomplishments the engineers were able to make, but they aren’t impressed. I tend to agree with your sentiment, but reading the whole original post in…
Thanks for the response! I think it would be cool to see if a different notation lends itself better to these questions, but I do believe that the classic notation we already use satisfies most of these questions. I…
> the main problem that i'm solving is that a standard notation mostly obscures structure Can you expand on this? I’m a hobbyist that’s learned how to sight read, and one of the coolest things was when I stopped seeing…

Most games have a lot of “jank”, even triple A games. I feel like most people underestimate Roblox because of the graphics, which is 90% how well you can create assets, and 10% programming skill. The real technicality…
> But if you just have an internal helper function for that, then think about if you really want to lock its existence and behavior into place, or if that would just hinder future architectural changes. I agree with…
I can sympathize with the authors love/hate relationship with tests, but I can’t help feeling like it’s because we as developers so often test the completely wrong things. I don’t typically write tests, but they do make…
Yep, this all makes sense and is what I was thinking as well. I also think you’re right about truncation being a better idea in the rendering state rather than in the bytes themselves. Either way, truncation of strings…
> It's also pretty telling that every article that tries to explain how to safely copy or concat strings in C, like this one, only ever works with ASCII, no attempt whatsoever to handle UTF-8 and keep code points…
They do know the difference[0][1][2]. I feel like gamers are notorious for complaining about fidelity issues and frame rate issues. I’m not sure why you would think they don’t understand the difference. The reason…
Is the FTC unbiased enough for you?[0]. This is a real problem. Many landlords use the same software to determine how much to charge, this software is intended to maximize rent by fixing the price. [0]:…
This “curation” is what is killing SO. Software is soft. It changes. There is no “one true answer for all time”. It’s honestly sad how many times I search for an answer, only to see the exact question I’m looking for…
It’s funny that you mention this. The most helpful research papers I’ve read have been written by private companies. Here’s a couple off the top of my head[0][1]. Short and straight to the point. [0]:…
