Rust supports punning via pointer casting, but you'll want to use #[repr(C)] on any data types used
less ergonomic, but still totally doable
it lets you maintain version history when working, then most workflows auto squash on merge

fwiw, I have a snapdragon X laptop running with windows. It basically never runs the fans (at least at audible levels), and I sometimes sit with it on a blanket in bed
there is a hidden paperclip button you can unlock it with

Re:Updating Gun Rocket through 10 years of Unity Engine on Thursday April 30, 2026 @10:41PM (#47970784)
what you suggest by gluing libs together is more like a framework. Engines have cohesive asset systems that tie into engine and gameplay systems, networking has to work with the gameplay layer, etc. Also, tooling is like 90% of what makes an engine worth using. You need asset importers, level editors, scripting solutions (often visual these days), data editors

this feels like a chute diameter issue, many older (cheaper?) ones are 2in, but high flow are 3in I believe
aren't contracts technically agreements between both parties?

firefox should not be able to cause a bluescreen, that is a bug somewhere in the kernel (drivers)

no, they will often shortcut when they can get away with it. Companies like Apple just don't let them get away with it

even if the form factor looks similar, the production will change overtime, esp the internals

I think starting in the 30s and esp after WW2/cold war era helped reset it somewhat. It started to pick back up in the 80s and into overdrive with the internet

That is definitely a silicon valley thing.

Re:Making Video Games (Without an Engine) in 2025 on Tuesday May 20, 2025 @02:00PM (#44044176)
This is really the case for all engines. Unity is a bit of of an outlier, though took a long time to get where it is.

Unreal Engine is really the Unreal Tournament/Gears of War engine at its core.

Good engines are those that are focused on what the game needs. YAGNI/KISS apply here too

Have you actually tried this?
I would look at nutrition labels for ingredients, estimate how much I used and approximate calories. For prepared foods, I'd look at other common examples with known quantities on the internet and extrapolate.
and it is a cat and mouse game between cheat and game devs
