@WickyNilliams @Jonathan_Blow @n00buntu @HolgersenTobias @levelsio @simeonkerkola @GolerGkA https://t.co/K2aa1C0ZYe has long been an excellent source for this kind of thing. Quite a few GDC talks too. Theres one about OverWatch that specifically talks about client prediction and replay a lot.

Theologically speaking, heaven is just loads of donuts and dip'n'dots.

@cliffski I implemented my own sin and cos in c++ at one point and could beat std implementations pretty easily. It did build a log LUT at compile time, and then did a configurable number of iterations. Allowed me to trade off speed for accuracy.

The whole exercise was surprising.

@younan3000 You have worn the same black shirt and pants every day of your adult life. Of course you haven't.

Just remember. When God calls you to do something, he's already taken into consideration your retardation.

@lisyarus Supporting ies profiles might also do well to sell the light sources too, but I haven't had enough experience with them to say confidently. https://t.co/C6EC8xKIeX

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@lisyarus There is something off about the lighting, but i think its just the unnatural values of emissives, not the rendering algo itself.

Is there a petition I can sign to get Chris Colinsworth to never commentate on a Chiefs game ever again?

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@Arclegger This is some of your best work. 👏

[Arc @Arclegger]

Another slice of pie?

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@cliffski @GreyAlien Is there a solution for micro studios without a publisher that looks more like a coop? Kinda like a credit union as opposed to a bank, if that analogy can loosely work.

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@lisyarus So many interesting ones. do_forever and do_n_times -- ai behaviors? Grid edge, face, index, etc are also interesting use for components in my experience.

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@younan3000 There are mods to make time continue as you pick locks, further enhancing the anxiety experience.

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@younan3000 Between? They're the same movie.

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@nice_byte Also, games desperately want to touch the OS as little as possible. Any overhead from system calls would be blown out by just... the rest of the game.

I used this when I worked at Stardock (using Oxide tech). It helped in some particular cases tremendously (but it looks to only be 2019 at latest).

As for cancelling a build, ctrl+break key cancels builds already???

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@SebAaltonen Literally the only thing better than good validation is tight API design that prevents the need for validation. In the simplest cases, this would be like taking by ref instead of pointer and validating it isn't null.

Really hard to do tho.

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@BenSimsTech Have you looked at the gltf extensions? KHR_material_sheen combined with KHR_material_transmission seems like it would be a good place to start.

[Timothy Lochner @tloch14]

@itmeJP Most bodyweight exercises can be modified. Think push ups on your knees, or at an incline. 20 reps is a lot. Try sets of 8-10, rest, then another set.

When it comes to working out, finishing is winning. Don't give up. You got this. 💪

This Grothendieck quote is the best-kept secret about mathematics:
Always start with your naive intuition, even if it’s plainly dumb, and then refine it by asking a barrage of “stupid” questions. Waiting in silence until you “get it right” will only lead to paralysis.
