When 128 bit integers added to C and C++, it should be either long long long - next tier after long long, or long long long long, so double the long long.

I was eating cherry tomatoes with chicken today and my 5yo daughter asked if she can sing for me. After she started I realized that I'm literally Denethor from that scene with Pippin. So when she was done and asked how it went I told her that Boromir would have sung better

I post one time about something related to macos, and my inbox gets obliterated with icloud locked scams. The timing is way too precise to be a coincidence. Bots literally read your social networks to then craft a targeted social engineering attack directly at you. What a world

There's this excuse among indie devs who use AI-generated assets - "I don't have money for artist, and I can't do art, what do you want me to do?" Do what you want, but good games that made with actual love and craft are coming out every day. Why would I buy yours?

People would accept AI way more positively if the gist was "you do the same job twice as fast and get to spend more time with your family" and not "you have to provide 10 times more value while getting paid same or less. Enjoy your shrink bills"

Access journalism is evil. You don't directly pay reviewers to praise your product (because it's illegal), but you just don't give them early access to your next one if they're not in line. Basically, you shouldn't blindly trust people who got early access to the new shiny thing

Celeste is the tightest and the most satisfying platformer in the world. And the meat of it is open source. A must for study if you're making a platformer! It being a single 5k lines of code class instead of a mess of abstractions and indirection makes it very straightforward to follow

Sound on Linux! If you're debugging a program that has an audio stream opened (through ALSA), and a thread that handles sound is suspended on a break point, Pipewire will mute sound IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM until you continue the execution. Pic is from cpal but but Rust is unrelated

Complex numbers were invented so that you can take a square root of negative numbers. But why would you need that? This is for pleb engineers to figure out. Mathematicians don't care about "why", they only care about "what if"

Programming is a lot like speedrunning. You lose entire day trying to save 2 seconds, and it ruins your entire week. Maybe that's why so many speedrunners are in tech.

I've watched Backrooms today. I'm a fan of original youtube series, and I liked the movie a lot, highly recommend. I've watched it in a very shitty cinema theater, and the screen had an annoying buzz that added A LOT to the vibe. Director is 20 years old.

I see a lot of love for Fable today in my timeline. I love Mythos of Albion. I think it was its creators' magnum Opus. You are not hallucinating, it still looks absolutely stunning today. Quite a nice little game engine they had!

Backrooms' director Kane Parsons reveals his thoughts on POSIX "If I could snap my fingers and make POSIX disappear forever, I probably would. Creatively, I get no enjoyment from using those tools." "POSIX Threads might stay though", he added.

MOTORSLICE is pretty cool. I bought it because OST is made by one of my favorite musicians of late (Pizza Hotline), but the game is quite alright on its own merit.

Kind of crazy how it is pretty much official that the world is being run by a cabal of satanic pedophiles, but then you say "hmm I think AI companies are maybe up to no good!", and people accuse you of falling for conspiracies...

My 3yo daughter is very amused by the fact that princess' name is Peach because you clearly can't eat her. She also refuses to watch anything that's not 70star because that's the category where princess speaks.

Can we all agree that this kind of design for pages that should be about reading source code is awful? You have huge blocks of empty space that contributes nothing, but the actual important part (THE BLOCK OF CODE THAT YOU NEED TO READ) has a freaking horizontal scrollbar? Cmon!
