As Half-Life 2 itself did not have a developer commentary, I personally recommend checking the book "Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar," and, if you really want to do a deep and lengthy dive into the particulars of HL2's level des

I get why Microsoft did what they did. I just still wish they would have at least OSS'd EdgeHTML instead of just shoving it in a closet somewhere.

musl is just another implementation of the true stdlib. I think what they want is an alternative to standard-conforming stdlibs that fills a similar niche - in other words, a "non-standard" standard library.

2001 was a silly time. Obviously, in any domain, there are times when we must judge a book by its cover for sake of there being only so little time in the world; but it seems so bizarre - well, maybe not bizarre for Paul Graham, but whateve

A lot of people view the era from when Steve Jobs up to when he came back as this kind of "malaise era" for Apple, which, granted, was not unearned; nevertheless, there is something very charming about a lot of Apple's produc

They're referring to the font, yes. Lots of people used it in the post-Web 2.0 era because it has a "distinctive" look, which naturally lent itself to fatigue. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lobster-font

I am no apologist for China, but the course of the American Dream itself was similarly colored by a "rose-tinted" view juxtaposed with less-than-ideal circumstances. One could look at for instance its original emergence in the 19t

Are you advocating for implementing langauges in an AST-less way or are you working towards maturing your language? You don't sound diametrically opposed to ASTs (which are evident in essentially any modern language), so I have to ask

Claims to "being able to now compile itself in 0.09 seconds" whilst pushing the need for an AST to the side represents a serious problem in the language's general direction (and I mean general in an aggregated way). Of co

I don't really get what point you're trying to make here. Yes, people should not be mean-spirited, but the opposite (i.e. the internet should be a hugbox) is just contrarian; and, for the record, I don't think the article is

Socialism is not "the state doing things" or "state intervention" or "state ownership." Of course these can be aspects of an implementation of socialism, but they are not socialism in itself - the "how&qu

Why z80 and not x86 or AArch, which are both more readily accessible today? This whole idea reeks of someone trying to reconcile their love of old computers with their poorly considered death-cult Malthusianism.

To me the most ideal form of hot-reloading and runtime compilation is probably the approach found in Scopes. While it leverages the LLVM MCJIT, it takes the approach of having compilation done when the programmer specifically wants it to be

It begs the question whether or not any current compiler optimizations for a new theoretical VLIW-ish machine (Mill?) would prove to be an effective leg-up on the Itanium.
