  • I know you’re just being sarcastic, but motion blur is a relatively heavy effect (particularly depending on how it’s implemented), that’s going to lower the framerate. That said, while motion blur lowers FPS it can make things seem more fluid and can convey motion information better. I’m not a huge fan of motion blur either, though. I think it can look cool, but usually it doesn’t feel great to me.


  • There’s a few programming languages that aren’t based around English, but they’re pretty rare and I’m not sure many people use them. It’s kind of sad because it makes programming much less accessible if you’re not an English speaker… But it’s also sort of a blessing because it’s easier to understand code you might have to interact with because it’s probably written in an English-ish language with the Roman alphabet, and you’re not stuck trying to read Japanese or Arabic or something to understand a library. I have mixed feelings on it. It’s convenient for me as an English speaker, but it also seems kind of unfortunate. I’ve heard that computer science is a field which is having a pretty big impact on the spread of English in the world, but I haven’t found a citation for that and I’m not sure I believe it.









  • I don’t drink alcohol, so I cannot comment on that.

    But that said, I kind of think of coffee as being pretty similar to chocolate. It’s an earthy but bitter flavour that can be nice, often when paired with something sweet and creamy. Also there are nice espressos that are kind of fruity and creamy on their own. There’s plenty flavours that are overwhelming on their own, but complement other flavours nicely. People are also known to like intense experiences, like really spicy foods.

    Anyway, I won’t fight you if you don’t like it. That’s totally reasonable :).
