Visual Studio C++ programmer here. My Visual Studio crashes depends a lot on the last update. Some updates work correctly, another ones have a lot of crashes. Now I have like three or four crashes per day with the last one (no problem with the previous one).

It jumps from basic graph algorithms to unsupervised machine learning. It's a "let's put shit that sells" book.

I don't see those cheap prices advertised everywhere. I see very high discounts in which the final price ends up being the same price as on Aliexpress.

My upvote for rustdesk. It's a great replacement for AnyDesk.

You have to tell to Netflix what Wi-Fi network are you using (your usual Wi-Fi is assigned by default). If your device doesn't connect to that Wi-Fi network at least once in a month, your device is blocked. You can still share accounts using a personal VPN network.

It would be nice to divide the total users by the country population to see the hacker news impact per country.

Fornite for a 6yo kid?

Also, my advice is to try to avoid Roblox. They are incredibly aggressive in asking for money (Robux).

The model is simpler, but the render is substantially more complex. You need an high poly model, extract their normal map, convert it to a simpler one and then render the simpler model with a texture and the precalculated normal map through a vertex/fragment shader.

Microsoft killed Visual Basic on purpose. They wanted to force everyone to move to c# because they were afraid of Java and wanted to compete against their market.

I crashed the school server several times with a bomb fork long before I even knew they already existed. It was a very simple script.

I stopped doing it because every time the server crashed through no fault of my own, everyone turned to look at me.

If the languages are similar:

  1. Tokenize
  2. Build AST tree
  3. Emit target code from the AST tree
If they are very different:

  1. Tokenize
  2. Build AST tree
  3. Create a simple intermediate language from the AST tree
  4. Emit target code from the intermediate language
It is the same as building a whole compiler, but without the optimization/register allocator passes.

Smooth animations and performance. Draw a big image with Win32 BitBlt it's painful slow, for example. Imagine that you are zooming an image in Photoshop and it is laggy, the user experience would be horrible. Also, the lag is an important issue in the user interface, even something so small like 100ms would be bad.
