Mmmh, if you search for a place in the maps tab instead of the general one you usually have a telephone url you can tap to start a phone call. I still find that you're using a very specific use case of a search engine to completely dis

You seem to be missing the point of IM GUIs. They are just intended to render the UI in a stateless way. If you try to use them in another way you'll find them awkward, of course. I may have misunderstood you, tho :)

A memory arena that is reset every render loop is the simplest memory allocation possible.

Performance is not the only consideration, even in most demanding games. IM GUIs simplify UI code a lot, by not having to rely on message systems that make the code harder to follow and less predictable. As most things in life, it's a

But it's very relevant. Steam provides a runtime so developers have a stable foundation across several distros. If you fail to use their runtime properly, you're doomed to suffer from Linux fragmentation problems.

I think the article talks about idle time itself, when there's no workload. OS doing bookkeeping means CPU isn't idle.

Annoying for everyone? Talk for yourself, I'd love some flexibility when it comes to job hours, and I'd love my kids to start school later in the mornings. Jobs should accommodate to people's lives, and not the other way arou

As a spaniard I'd love to see the DST nonsense end. It gets dark too late in summer: Western provinces can be watchching a sunset at 23:00.

Markets alone won't do shit of it's not profitable. That's why you need government regulations. Some things should not be driven by profit. Thinking otherwise is delusional.

Can you provide some proof that "pirating" (I hate that word) had severely diminished sold copies? And I don't mean all those "studies" based on the false premise that downloaded records are lost sales.

Copyright isn't here to protect the creator, but the copyrights holder. The great extension of copyright (way beyond the artist life) is there so a few copies holders keep their IPs for a handful of mega-successful acts: Mickey, The Be

What's the deal with devs not going to sleep? That's unhealthy.

OT: Luckily for him, he studies at a public university so much likely he doesn't even need a student loan. Students shouldn't need loans. It's an aberration.

Me and some friends acquired some cheap Eizo 21" CRTs back in the day. It was an awesome display, but weighted >30kg. The amount of heat it dissipated was huge, tho.

Drinking water reduces blood viscosity too. Or so I've been told.

Cheaper in the short term. If your engineers productivity is constantly tanking because of noise and interruptions it will mean lots of wasted money. But you can't factor that in a spreadsheet, right?

So we agree medicine cannot be managed as a business, right? It's ok if healthcare losses money, in fact it should be ok for all public sevices to operate and not being profitable.

It also helps spread content, like a modern version of word of mouth. Assuming every download is a lost sale is a debunked myth. I agree there's a problem, but the solution isn't prosecution but education. Also, piracy is, most of

Great answer, thanks for the insight. I'm really puzzled at how many people aggressively answers when someone refuses to use standard libraries (or practices). We were in a similar situation and using our own string implementation impr

by brann0 8y ago
You're missing the point of reimplementing some or all of the standard libs. Similarly, disabling C++ exceptions and RTTI is a very common practice in gamedev. Sometimes you reimplement a certain standard class (vector, string...) to a

Not confirming the email is insane. And it's even worse if you're going to use that email address to send personal data. I don't see any excuse to not confirm an email address, honestly.

I clearly remember my i5 4690 wasn't supported by z87 motherboards unless you flashed with another CPU. As I was building a new rig, I just ordered a z97 instead. Also yeah, it was my fault for not properly checking before buying 4690+

Same situation here. What changed since last trial? Wasn't Oracle demand based on software patents? I'm confused...
