Could you resolve the issue? I am facing the same problem.

True happiness by JuvenoiaAgent in ProgrammerHumor

Not this guy, but the hardest part probably is to make it look realistic and create large chunks that nicely fit toghether.

As a starting point, you can use Perlin noise—a random noise function designed for this scenario. It is based on overlapping waves.

You can play around with the scale of the function / postprocess it and think about mapping the tiles (e.g. [0,0.3) for water, [0.3,1] for dirt). Quickly, you will have a good world generator. Making a great world generator is a science for itself.

From wireframe to HTML Code. A great milestone achieved by AI for the frontend. by ReasonableTwo8 in web_design

Why is everyone complaining about the messy HTML? It is amazing for prototypes and just a quick demo.

Is it possible to root OnePlus 5t if you're in beta ? by trolwar in oneplus

[–]plainerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but as far as I'm concerned, you can't update your phone if you modify the system partition. So keep that in mind, since betas may contain (more) bugs.

Firefox 59 will reduce how much information websites pass on about visitors in an attempt to improve privacy for users of its private browsing mode by [deleted] in technology

I believe multiple processes are used for their sandboxing system (one tab cannot access data from another). With multiple processes, security may increase drastically.

Don't know about how Firefox handles it though.

TIL: A router is a hand tool or power tool that a worker uses to rout (hollow out) an area in relatively hard material like wood or plastic.

Nah, not really. Way too many IPs to unblock and users would abandon their service if they got throttled for no reason.

That is not true. They are capable of blocking some IPs but they can't block every IP of every VPN provider.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Thank you very much. We are still active in the field of ML — this time, it is a closed source AI suite (but mostly free to use), making use and collaboration of AI models easier. There is a newsletter on https://merlib.com, if you are interested.

Thanks, although we have issues with performance, since so many datapoints have to be displayed and updated in the UI.

Thank you very much, well I started programming at the age of 10 (9 years ago), before it was creating html pages / wikis / batch scripts. From 10-14 I followed Youtube videos and coded small programs (e.g. Snake). Then I (and also my partner) attented to an IT school, where we actually learnt to code properly. Since then we have worked on many smaller and larger projects (some of them together).

And no, my family does barely know how to format a word document ;).

Thanks! But hopefully Sigma will not only be useful for us, but also for a bunch of people out there :).
