I used to be a strictly “book on the plane” guy but lately I’ve been bringing my Switch 2 everywhere. It’s a nice way to fly!

Probably #1 but with a static array outside the function so you’re not initializing it every time.

I will also say a lot of interviewers are not expecting you to immediately know the answer to a question, and instead want to see how you work through and reason about a proposed problem. So don’t panic if you don’t have a solution right away. 🙂

1. Come prepared with your own questions, you’re interviewing them too!
2. If you feel yourself spiraling don’t be afraid to say that you need a minute to think things over (and take a deep breath!)
3. Ask clarifying questions if you need to, that’s also totally fine and often very encouraged

I’m no EA apologist but I’m not sure if they deserve the full blame for that…by at least some accounts it sounds like the the team had some fundamental issues that they were unable to resolve. www.designer-notes.com/spore-my-vie...
Spore: My View of the Elephant
A few weeks ago and with little fanfare, Spore turned five-years-old. The game was announced at GDC 2005 during Will Wright’s annual mind-blowing speech on whatever floats through his head. The ini…

There’s this, but not exactly the same: shadered.org/template
Pick a starting point - SHADERed
SHADERed is the most powerful shader IDE/editor. It is open-source, cross-platform & has features such as the shader debugger, compute shaders, plugin API, etc...

That SFINAE stuff sure looks like a compile-time killer 😬

Yeah it’s from the Steam HW survey, which is useful but also imperfect and misleading in many ways. They put a disclaimer when on the “Can I Use This?” page: d3d12infodb.boolka.dev/CanIUse.html...

Yeah that table would be a lot bigger for Vulkan, wouldn’t it? 😅

Yeah the Vulkan hw database is a bit tough to use for the purposes of knowing what your target hardware supports as a baseline. You can filter your the last year of reports though which changes the stats. Looks like on Windows the reports without support are mostly old AMD:

Thank you Nico, I was indeed imprecise in how I described that. I’ll update it. 🙂
