The fact that saying it's disinformation is downvoted so rapidly perfectly illustrates how hard it is to tell what is the actual disinformation

Which is mistaking the most sales for the most popularity. There is a universe of games that have huge number of users, but doesn't sell copies.

Just want to say, it's definitely not THE most popular game of all time... Candy crush could be a strong candidate, though they probably never use that term on themselves.

Very well said. This has indeed helped me too.

This is gold. Concise and to the point. A lot of self-reflection must be put into this.

Well, did gitlab forget how it explicitly said to not hire chinese or russian in fear of paranoid espionage concerns, that resulted in a hiring manager quitting gitlab? I wonder how it would do it people are mistreated in GitLab.

Either you are controlled by the government, or you are controlled by the captilist oligarchs. In a system where capital speaks louder than the people, only a true leftist could see another way out.

Where did I state that? Or is this whole fuss just another imagined adversary against China of the US crusader mentality?

That makes me laugh. I guess the United States is ran solely on this document and no other detailed laws.

I guess even the lowest bar of news integrity is an optional choice when it comes to Hong Kong?

Well deserved. Apple Daily is not pro democrazy but pro-chaos. It routinely manufatures fake news and rumors that only matched by the mainstream fake news. I'm all for pro democrazy. But there is a clear line between pushing a democrat

Exactly. China has never opposed a strong, healthy and positive US. It's the US that's getting increasingly poisonous over China, to maintain its hegemony. A change of political mindset could really see the world with two great co

You must be seriously disconnected from reality, both ways, to say something like this, like disconnected on a cyberpunk level. It's funny to even give the slightest thought of trying to rebunk some of those points lol.

Wrong. China is not betting on it, rather the US is betting that China is betting on it, to poise China in an adversary role. China has plenty of its own problems to mind and its road to mondernization is far from over. It's the US tha

I saw this title and I figured, good point, highest level in the world of journalism is about raw power, hardly about any truth. Then I clicked and read a few lines, wow, completely turned around, it's actually saying that powerful peo

Though useful, this website appears to exclude mobile games entirely. The amount of screen space on big screens makes it a lot easier to design UI for. The true magic of UI design mostly happens in mobile games where devs cram an incredible

Thanks for the explanations. Just want to elaborate on this point: >> Also is it possible to collapse a series of such transforms in a single versor like you can do with matrices without going into dual quaternion stuff? In generic ga

by hohohmm 6y ago
yes but what about non-uniform scaling. Is it possible to handle it in this case?
23.
by hohohmm 6y ago
The problem with carrying a vector with you is, you can't really concatenate transform. Maybe I am missing something?
24.
by hohohmm 6y ago
Thanks for the information. It's nice of you to point out that 4x4 matrix is projective in nature, and I understand that GA could potentially be more performant for its more compact usage of numbers. But to really make it popular and u

by hohohmm 6y ago
The main problem with GA is if you want a unified transformation hiearchy, geometric algebra could quickly get very complicated, as it requires projective GA to handle translation and dual-quaternion to handle non-uniform scaling. Geometry

The benefits of types is not something to be discovered, but something that's taught in school with very convincing arguments, if not too much zeal. It's interesting to see this kind of post. Not to be sarcastic about the late dis
