I’ve commented about this book here before. It’s very useful across multiple disciplines. What drew me to it was video game level-design. There’s a section on how churches and temples often have these increasingly smaller and more intimate

Odd that the music only kicks in for me after I tab away. When I tab back, the music stops.

The first time I learned about dynamic loading was while watching an episode of Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero - a series where he builds a video game, in C, from scratch. He compiles the game code as a dll and dynamically loads it at

I also own a hard copy of this one and know nothing about architecture. I've found the patterns helpful for video game level design. Whether it's the layout of a small town, window placement, or the tiered chambers of a church or

This is my experience as well so far. It took 15-20 minutes to learn about it, install it, and setup configs. Since then I haven't had to think about it once.

I never understood the appeal until I started watching Handmade Hero( https://handmadehero.org/ ). I had always wanted to learn about C, but if you don't have an idea of your own, it can be difficult to put what you lear

I'm looking forward to playing around with this. Vim is my editor of choice, and it would be nice to configure/extend it in something other than vimscript. Gives me a good reason to familiarize myself with Python as well. Not to m

Are the pins sent by email via an SMS gateway? If so, why not just let people sign up with their email address? I'd like to join in on the fun, but not with my personal phone number.

I don't know if this went into the decision making process, but with the cursor at an angle the OS can use the x,y coordinates of the cursor to find it's target, instead of having to offset the coordinates to compensate for a stra

I've had problems with un-bundling all ready. I've had Comcast for almost two years now - the top internet service for 19.99/mo. Of course they tried to raise the price on me once but I was able to call and get it back down.

If it's simply that, then why restrict it to students, instead of by age? Most people under the age of 21 are broke, young, and impressionable. I feel very good about the fact that I don't have to pay back debts for the rest of my life. I f

I really enjoy EVE's sandbox. It's a great game to lose yourself in. The developers release expansions regularly and really listen to their player's feedback. One thing I find interesting is that most dedicated EVE players pay for two subsc

This is true. Pathogen, a vim package manager, is mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Although not as smooth as Pathogen, installing most vim scripts is as easy as extracting the download into your .vim directory.
