Who doesn't like complexity There is a difference between complexity and inconvenience , IMHO. And auto-firing from a manually-driven train is not a complexity: it doesn't add new interesting mechanics, it doesn't balance stuff that will be overpowered otherwise. It's just a (quite minor) inconveni...

As for the games, most of them are graphic heavy, so you wouldn't notice a slightly changed pixel or a bugged vertex.

Yep, bit flips are quite common. That's why servers use ECC memory.

Because it points to a problem, that two systems are so tightly connected to each other, that they are one big system. As far as I can see from @kovarex article, they still have a nice separation and layering. They just don't want to go for "true" unit testing due to overhead, probably. I...

most of the things Robert says, his own example code doesn't even demonstrate I know... I read that book. And the only way to understand example about prime numbers was to inline all those three-liners-full-of-unexpected-side-effects into a single function. P.S. And the best function there is a fre...

It would be sad if those intermediate versions are lost forever. Zip files may be deleted, old code may have compilation errors today etc.

Last guy who asked went insane. Well, this story is totally different. OP wants older version because his mods physically cannot be run on the newer versions. It's not a minor upgrade problem that can be fixed on the mod/save side. So, I hope devs can upload this version to their site. It wouldn't ...

In other words I refactor for clarity, not just because I can. Yep. That's the point. I understand why Robert attempts to find a formal, mechanical way to measure clarity. And it would be cool to make an IDE plugin which can take a pile of trash, apply some formal rules to it, and transform it into...

If you're finding yourself wanting to "manage" which test suites are being run together, that may signal that the implementation code isn't decomposed optimally. Well, high-performance code in C++ is not a Java, where you can tolerate unnecessary indirections... Sure, you can use static p...

Uncle Bob is amazing! I've listened to a few podcasts of his, thanks for the youtube link - that will be good watching! Yeah... But I take his "ultra-factoring" concept with a grain of salt. Why? To begin with, common languages like C++ or Java have a lot of a visual noise. Sure, those th...

With a general-purpose compiler? I doubt.

With a specialized compiler that was designed to fold those reactive patterns into usual loops? Probably...

Could you please give some links that support this claim?

you're in fact doing double the work in one go (code & test) instead of the usual phases One day I though the same... But then I noticed that I spend a lot of time just to check that my code works. Manually. Also, I noticed that writing the test first forces me to think about the problem itself...

Yep, markup is broken there. Looks like quote after the link to the FFF-62 is missing.

We even have a gate keeper in place to allow merges to the main develop line only if none of our automatic tests fail and no additional QAC issues pop up. Yeah, commit gating is vital for large teams. It's not fun to work with a code when it's constantly broken here and there. And it's simply impos...

don't recall ever typing in that command Those buttons are disabled by default when you (re-)install Factorio (to protect new players from the blueprint addiction, probably :twisted:). They are usually unlocked when you research Construction Robotics for the first time. That's how you got them with...

Open console by pressing ~, then type /unlock-shortcut-bar

It should unlock missing buttons.

And another simple reproduction: - place an unpowered inserter - put a blueprint into the hand slot of that inserter - destroy blueprint Deconstruction and upgrade planners freeze game too. P.S. It may be a slightly different issue, since in the original issue book was already moved. And here it was...

Just enable checkbox above ("Personal logistics and auto-trash") and it should work.

As far as I remember, vanilla generator was quite different from what we have now. It generated little "puddles" of ore, a lot of them. That's why RSO mod became so popular those days.

Today it's not a requirement if you're happy with vanilla generator.

But they affect everything, not only the night lighting.
