>So I figured out that I needed to compute the line integral from the eye to every point on the screen. I learned some calculus in college, so I said to myself "I should be able to do this." So I figured out the formula for it with some crazy complicated trigonometry. I implemented it, but it was 100 times too slow. Then I realized, "Oh wait, I can do this in the lightmap space”, because the lightmap is a discretization of geometry into bite-sized chunks. I did that with lightmaps, so it was real-time.

What is lightmap space?

What a stupid comment - I hope you're just a troll.

Interesting. I know World of Warcraft uses TCP, but I imagine it's less "real-time" than shooters (ie: no hitscan) so a few dropped packets wouldn't have a huge impact (ie. if you're standing casting a spell for 2sec, the game can recover the lag easily). Didn't know some shooters used TCP

Are you sure? I would be extremely surprised if it wouldn't use UDP.

For things like getting stats, probably from a HTTP endpoint, sure, but for gameplay? The lag would be very bad, no? Lose a packet and everything is slowed down

I see this, which indicates it uses UDP: https://imgur.com/al6KTwT

and according to wireshark it's used heavily when in a game, so I assume that's the gameplay protocol. Also when I left my game (but stayed in the lobby), immediately the port 61879 stopped listening.

I'm not sure about UE4, but previous versions of the unreal engine used UDP for replication and RPC.

I imagine because it's in everything, which means people don't really have to go after a specific food to get their iodine?

Why did they laugh? Often the job posting even asks for one...

Oh, that's what I started doing. haha..ha

I know this is not a get rich kind of thing, but how long did it take before you saw significant amount of money coming your way?

I would LOVE to be financially independent. I'm just wondering, if I get into quantitative trading, how many years that would take

Intel Management Engine

I don't know anything about this, but it might help if you provide information on what you want to do with the data.

Moved from slack to hipchat, or from hipchat to slack?

Opening the VS Code inside VS code? I would feel watched, like my VS Code is wondering what the hell I'm doing.

Is it not good enough for me? Is it failing me in some awful way that I feel compelled to change it? Maybe it should get out of the IDE business if its not good enough? Maybe become a farmer, take a break from technology

and please break the codebase of people using these types by not following semver (keeps happening to me with typings -_- should really start using a lock file)

As someone else pointed out in the comments, then why not have the city put the fiber in the ground, but let private ISPs run the network devices and ISP stuff (ie: a bit similar to TekSavvy in Canada which uses other ISP's infrastructure - I assume they use more than just the fiber though)

A CA certificate by itself is not malware? Am I missing something?

Yeah... I've been there shortly after arab spring when there was next to one there. Camel ride people tried to steal from me, had to tell them I was going straight to the tourist police over there before they gave me back the extra money they took straight from my hands...

Egypt's main pyramid sites in Giza are accessible to the general public every day, all year long. Although you can go inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu when you visit, one of the smaller two pyramids usually is closed for restoration work. To further complicate your tourist plans, at the time of publication, only 300 tickets are sold per pyramid, per day. You must arrive early to secure your visit inside

>The movdqa instructions have to do with accessing memory, and it spends 32% of its time on those instructions So I think that means that it spends 32% of its time accessing RAM, and the other 68% of its time doing calculations.

I think that's wrong? The first movdqa (15%) moves from RAM to a register, but the second movdqa (17%) moves from one register to another?

17% seems a lot for something that simply moves from a register to another register! It's even slower than the first movdqa, moving from RAM to register, but registers are supposed to be something like 2 orders of magnitude faster to access than RAM (don't remember exactly).

Maybe it's because there are data dependencies? The 3 instructions before the 2nd movdqa use the register xmm0, so the movdqa has to wait for these to finish before it can execute (aka bubble or pipeline stall)

> For stationary lights and dynamic props, Unreal uses per object shadows, meaning that it renders one shadowmap per dynamic prop per light

Isn't that a TON of shadowmaps?

Just you wait until the next iOS :)

What is scary about it?

Those SetDefaults methods.. ouch.

On the plus side, it's fun to press the page down and see the code 'animate' from left to right

Are they planning on using .NET Core? With no UI?

God forbid someone mentions their own experience, especially if they have a disclaimer it's only their own experience!

>For a typical desktop PC, you want to have 100 draw calls or fewer per frame

Don't PC games use thousands of draw calls per frame?

Why does that return a shell?

ah! thanks

Maybe he's talking about the sanitizers? eg: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html

I just installed this and now carussel's comment is empty, but I can see it in incognito mode. Also the textbox where I'm typing this doesn't even fit and has a scrollbar.. gonna skip this one..

Edit: Oh. Never mind, there seems to be two buttons to expand/collapse?
