I don't think there is a fundamental difference. ECS is the application of relational databases in a dynamic real-time context with relatively modest amounts of data, but lots of sequential processing. Sparse sets work…
George RR Martin still writes his books with the DOS program WordStar. Given the pace he releases books at, this might more be out of preference than desire to focus though...
The source refers to retail electricity prices and thus doesn't apply here. The German electricity price is subject to lots of different taxes and fees; energy generation makes up less than a quarter of it [1]. These…
I'm not sure why you're trying to say here. Pretty much every German and most definitely every merchant has a bank account. Personally I've never had an account that wasn't free either, although some banks are changing…
Even the (by far) most dense borough of Berlin is only at 14,373/km²[1], though. That's considerably lower than almost all of the Parisian boroughs[2]. Even the whole city's average is 20,000/km². From the point of view…
No, only licensed taxis.
I was actually almost happy when the other day, my train in the Netherlands got cancelled and I had to wait a full hour for another connection. Good to know you're human as well. Self checkouts are definitely a thing…
Regarding the trains, >They are usually on time and cover basically everywhere worth visiting in Europe. He has a very ungerman definition of usually on time :) There's probably not a bigger laughing stock in Germany…
I just want to say, thanks for posting this! I was just playing Minecraft before reading your post yesterday, after a long break (months to years of barely playing at all), and this was exactly what I was longing for.
A quick Google search tells me that the "new regulation" re firefighters you're talking about is a recent court ruling about the working time directive from 2003. Volunteer firefighters are a huge part of the…
Meanwhile, being from the northwest of Germany, moving to Sweden would apparently be an upgrade for me[1]. :( It really is quite grim here for a good portion of the year and I will never get used to it (I was born and…
There has been some research on this: https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/press-media/press-releases/...
auto types really don't have anything to do with dynamic typing, in fact I would argue type deduction is an important tool in making static typing more attractive. An example of dynamic typing in C++ would be std::any…
I'm interested what this deep G buffer for the order-independent transparency would entail.
In Japanese those three words could be translated as 分析、本当に、面白い respectively, 8 characters in total - i.e. the same length as just "analysis" in English.
What strikes me as incredible is that 44% of Democrats agreed with the original statement. I'm not an American, but isn't that totally incompatible with the party's ideals? EDIT: The fact that the vast majority of them…
Thanks, strangely enough this comment made me read more about D and I'm genuinely excited about getting into this language now
Also thanks for the reference to Erin Catto's talk, need to check it out. Maybe physics engines aren't magic after all.
Thanks. That's what I meant with deleting "equivalent entries", I was wondering if there are cases where that would still be a net gain. But it makes sense that there are more specialized versions for such things. PS I…
That sounds quite horrible - today was very eye-opening on why people almost never pack structs tightly, thank you.
I just wanted to say thanks - I could never get into vanilla Emacs but after about an hour of playing around with Spacemacs I have to say it's amazing. It's incredible what a few convenience features (and of course,…
Interesting, thanks.
As a lot of people have mentioned Lua ITT, there's a library called Pluto[1] which can serialize coroutine states. It was used in the game Fable to store quest statuses[2]. [1]: http://lua-users.org/wiki/PlutoLibrary…
A nitpick I had with SDL2 is the inability to render while the window is being resized. There is a rather awkward hack around this on Stack Overflow[1], which involves a callback function that has to call right into…
Since F# is by Microsoft themselves, I would hope that is not the fault of the developers in this instance.
