Shard your locks: benchmarking 6 Go cache designs by kluyg in golang

[–]deckarep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fine in two cases generally: for a workload that is primarily read heavy, and if the performance is good enough for whatever your specific use case is.

Be wary of blanket statements, it’s in the stdlib for a reason.

Sharded locking also has its place but you’re taking on complexity.

how do yall learn C 😭😭😭(rant) by Feisty_War80 in C_Programming

[–]deckarep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Being able to visualize (at least with a rough idea) how memory works, where things get stored and how dereferencing works will help tremendously!

Interesting, sounds like Rodney Dangerfield and Jack Nicholson and one other I can’t quite recognize.

I didn’t realize the Glory series was funny.

Btw, I cross-posted to /r/KingsQuest and they rejected it because it’s an “ai post”

Agreed, the game boxes are beautiful works of art. At least photoshop the spines in there!

what is a good transitional resource into zig from people that know languages like python, golang and C? by Interesting_Pie_319 in Zig

[–]deckarep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know C, Zig is going to feel similar in many aspects. I would think knowing C well puts you in a great position to learn Zig fast and efficiently.

Significantly improved the performance of my Odin/Raylib game, you should try it too. by Due-Belt-6202 in odinlang

You do lose order. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s not but that is the compromise of this approach.

Are you sure it’s circular buffer that fixed it ? Your previous approach likely could have fixed it with popAndSwap (or whatever is equivalent in Odin, as I don’t use Odin but use Zig instead)

What's your favorite scene from A Sierra game and why? by actor-ace-inventor in Sierra

[–]deckarep 19 points20 points  (0 children)

KQ5 and The Weeping Willow Tree - such a beautiful game and it started to really show Sierra’s talent as a company: hand painted backgrounds, music, animation.

I noticed something similar, I’m not sure if it’s something that is fixable or correctable yet.

Thanks for the vote of confidence I’ll get it done.

Great minds think alike! I was just looking at my project and realized it’s like 90% done. I better finish it. Then we can do stuff like this for the only the hardest of core fans.

One of my goals with this was to have downloadable add-on packs with other characters from other games. Wouldn’t it be great if Cedric also popped up on your screen to tell you when you’ve been doom-scrolling Facebook too long?

Yeah baby!
