is sort of essentially blockchain without the decentralized ledger part
So a [Merkle tree](http://www…com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree)?
Many debuggers (at least in the Java world, which is what I’m working with for a living) support more advanced features like only triggering the breakpoint if a certain condition is reached or only every X hits of the breakpoint.
Also, if you try and debug using print in the main game loop, wouldn’t that write so much to console/log that it’s effectively unreadable?
I recently discovered Manic Miners, a remake of 1999’s Lego Rock Raiders, and ever since I’ve been busy reliving my childhood in 1080p. Now if only someone could remake Lego Racers 1&2…
Beyond that, I found out that the Steam release of Dwarf Fortress totally passed me by last year, and so I’ve been getting back into that and I keep marveling at the lovely graphics and the mouse control. I’m happy that I can support the creators this way after years of playing the game every once in a while. Still waiting for stuff like Dwarf Therapist, but for the first time I’m playing DF without tons of add-ons and it’s actually pretty neat. I’m looking forward to all the FUN I’ll be having! :P
It was underpowered when the Switch released, yes, but I’d wager that it was a good choice for the application when Nintendo started designing the Switch. Couple that with the (not unreasonable IMO) expectation that there would be successors to the X1 that they could hypothetically put into the Switch and release a higher-perf revision with minimal changes, I can see why they chose it. Unfortunately, Nvidia dropped the X1 line and that (again, purely speculative) scenario never manifested.
To be fair™ they did at least do a little bit to deal with the existing answers becoming obsolete by changing the default answer sorting. The “new” (it’s already been at least a year IIRC) sorting pushes down older answers and allows newer answers to rise to the top with fewer votes. That still doesn’t fix the issue that the accepted answer likely won’t change as new ways of doing things become standard, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.
lol no, it’s used almost everywhere where performance is important and people want(ed) OOP, from tiny projects to web browsers (Chrome, Firefox) to game engines (Unreal, CryEngine). Many of these are hugely complex and do encounter segfaults on a somewhat frequent basis.
Saying C++ is mostly used for embedded applications is like saying C# is mostly used for scripting games, i.e. it doesn’t nearly cover all the use cases.
This depends on your definition of “higher-level”, but many people would argue that C++ is on a similar level to Java or C# in terms of abstraction. The latter two do, however, have a garbage collector, which vastly simplifies memory management for the programmer(generally anyway).
