Use to be called 15-212. TA-ed it for 1 semester. That's when I really understood programming.

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

This is exactly right. Good summary.

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.

you make the same mistake of the op.

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 democratic agenda for the benefit of Hong Kong people and that of provoking dissidents at any opportunity possible with whatever means possible, to foster agendas by local tycoons and foreign intelligence agencies, which eventually cost Hong Kong people.

If you have never read the published paper on fostering dissidents for "academic" research in Hong Kong pease search for it.

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 countries with different but competitive systems that could learn from each other and see each other's shortcomings.

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 that's in question. Why is it fussing over China so much? Why not mind its own business? Why blame everything on China when the US could spend the time improving lives for its own citizens? Or is its blood-sucking, globally exploitive economy cannot function without the sacrifice of an imaginary enemy?

US is the one that gets red-eyed all over a country that's doing good, just because itself can't seem to get out of the decline. What the US doesn't have, others can't either.

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 people don't need journalism, and it's bitching about being dumpped... Not a minute of self-reflection. what kind of irony is this? I have to say, well deserved...

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 amount of stuff into limited space while trying to maintain sanity. A big loss, without mobile games.

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 game developemnt, translation, rotation, and non-uniform scaling are all extremely basic things that cannot be handwaved away or "too big".

>Versors combine just like matrices (using just the ordinary product). (doing this for translations/rotations _are_ the dual quaternions, but you don't have to (and imho shouldn't) call them that.). Non-uniform scaling along your scenegraph (as opposed to in the beginning (object space) or at the end (view space)) is usually frowned upon in professional game development. (it makes it impossible to correct matrices using Gramm-Shmidt, and adds a lot of complexity to things like tracing hit rays etc).

Though frowned upon, it's important to retain the ability to do non-linear scales, as that's part of tuning things in-engine fast. It could be later corrected but without it, it becomes very cumbersome to do quick tunings of object scales or maybe simply doing quick scene mockups. I work in games in a professional capacity and find this usage very common and almost indispensible.
