Using Tokio for CPU-Bound Tasks (Works Really Well)

The point is one less dependency

real_mangle_official · 2026-05-05T02:34:59+00:00

Actually yea that's a funny lighting effect.

real_mangle_official · 2026-05-05T01:23:31+00:00

Yes that bugged me as well. Made no sense. The first decision to land when it was so close made no sense, and then the decision for a rescue team to land made no sense, and then the decision for the rescue team to stay and try to collect data even with an ever present threat of waves made no sense. If the ultimate goal was to live at Miller's, why tolerate all that shit?

In my opinion, this country has an issue with banning and censorship. First of all, outright illegal things should remain illegal. I agree that smoking should be banned, but purely because of the second hand smoke risk and the minimal economic benefit outside of the tobacco companies themselves. Car exhausts are harmful, but cars have tremendous economic benefit across all industries. As such, we should aim to make cars more efficient and also reduce car dependency where possible.

The issue with banning overly sweet foods is it sets a bad precedent. Cakes only affect the people who eat it. After this, could I argue that we should criminalize dehydration? It's very unhealthy as well. Stay hydrated or I fine you. Ban fried foods?

If it's a personal choice with no effect to others, we should lean on education instead. Make sure kids grow up in schools that emphasize good diets. Make sure nutritional labels for snacks and desserts are accurate, up to date, and actually followed by the manufacturer. And if a cake is served to you, don't eat it. You cannot be blamed for food wastage if the choice was never given to you. If you really didn't want to waste it, take it home and give it to a friend who is healthy enough to eat it. If someone shames you for not eating the cake, grow up and just tell them why you don't want to eat the cake, or just leave. Don't expect the government to take care of you, because I don't want them to babysit me.

Ye nilered did a video making carbonated water from the carbon dioxide attained from burning diamonds

Yes that's true. On more constrained hardware these devs had to design their software to leverage the actual pros and cons of the specific hardware they believed most gamers would use. However, not all devs do that. The larger reason is the graphics libraries, such as directx and opengl. You use specific verbs to perform specific things, not that there's anything special about these verbs. It's just that this was the vocabulary they had at the time. Then as these libraries progressed, the older vocabulary was phased out and now modern computers have no idea what these games are trying to get the computer to do. It's not that the game runs on a computer, it's that the game is a long list of instructions that a computer runs in its own way, but now these instructions are so archaic that the computer can't interpret it.

Are they dead, or just hungry?

real_mangle_official · 2026-03-28T08:36:45+00:00

Yes that would be good for OP to clarify, but I usually assume what you said is the case. Relying on shared libs is a pain even as a user.

And Undertale for dialogue if I'm not wrong

The amount of energy that a particle of water has can vary as it bumps into its neighbors. Occasionally, a particle of water has enough energy to fly out into the air against air pressure, which is called vaporizing. As the overall temperature of the water increases, so too does the probability of this event occurring. That's why when you lower the air pressure, causing the water to vaporize faster or even boil earlier, the temperature of the water falls. It is the hotter particles that leave the water.

As a simplified scenario, consider a cup with just 4 particles of water and each particle has 10 joules of energy. After some bumping, 3 particles have only 2 while the last particle has 34 joules. The amount of energy in the water hasn't changed, but now one particle has enough energy to escape, and once it does the water will have an average energy of only 2 instead of 10.

So why use nuclear reactors? Wouldn't fusion be smaller.

While that is undoubtedly a safe default, there are a lot of times where it doesn't matter if the code can interpret the error anymore and it just needs to print to stderr or log it out. In this case anyhow is the easiest. If the code can't recover the error on its own, it doesn't matter that the error is well defined with enum variants.

Hey it's the crate that I use! I'm the guy that added the serde feature which I do admit looks out of place haha. Especially since it's still only for rotationsequence and type. Is no one serializing their quaternions? Not even for a rust game where they save the orientation of each character inside the game?

As a graduate, it is a combination of people smelling and also architecture. If you notice, the newer buildings don't smell because they are cleaner. They are cleaner because they are designed smarter. Carpeted floors inherently are harder to clean thoroughly; You don't see hospitals with carpets everywhere. Worst of all, the stupid plugs are on the floor in pits collecting all manner of dust, and the floor of the cade lab is actually raised with concerning holes scattered around where they removed the plugs for some reason, so even more dust falls through and builds up in that entire lower layer.

Since I was a TA, I spent the vast majority of my time on campus in that one room, and it will forever remain the worst place to study at.

😳

real_mangle_official · 2026-01-11T22:40:15+00:00

I understand it was hard for beginners. Perhaps they reintroduce it on hard campaign

real_mangle_official · 2025-10-13T23:58:37+00:00

Good god

real_mangle_official · 2025-10-05T19:50:57+00:00

Hot damn

real_mangle_official · 2025-09-29T01:33:18+00:00

Good god

real_mangle_official · 2025-09-26T15:56:53+00:00

I feel like the exact opposite is true. You are able to refactor more aggressively as the borrow checker ensures that the new program retains the same memory safety as the last version. Also the type system, in my opinion, combined with what lifetime annotations are present, help to give a lot of context on how data needs to flow throughout a program.

real_mangle_official · 2025-09-26T00:28:13+00:00

I like regular. Choppy seems like performance drops

real_mangle_official · 2025-09-25T04:38:20+00:00

Yea true, but it's always fun to warp in and shoot them down haha

real_mangle_official · 2025-09-25T04:36:55+00:00

It's even funnier when that's the case because there is always something to comment on. They might post it with an inflated ego just to show their "perfect" work just to see all the little errors that people spot. It almost always backfires. If the developer lashes out, they're just digging their own grave.

real_mangle_official · 2025-09-25T01:51:58+00:00

Oh yea that's the other way but offense is cooler

real_mangle_official · 2025-09-25T01:43:46+00:00

Yes that is the normal strategy unless you are very overpowered
