>The string processing is powerful, but inconvenient when you want to do things like indexing by offsets or ranges, due to Unicode semantics. (This is probably a good thing in general.) This is being too generous to Swift's poorly d

In absolute terms the number of people with deep knowledge here is probably higher than it’s ever been. The ratio has changed, which is what I think he’s actually lamenting here. He mentions civil engineering; one thing I find myself often

I would not have been as kind to FF7 as this author was. By any modern measure it is a bad game. The raw story material and the character design is fantastic. But the gameplay. The gameplay is so tedious the author couldn’t even continue wi

Seems like Jonathan Blow, the creator of Jai, releases a game every decade or so. I wonder if the plan is to release his next game in a couple of years. Presumably it is written in this new language? Maybe the compiler will be released at t

The author mentions the following: fn add(x: Option<i32>, y: Option<i32>) -> Option<i32> { if x.is_none() || y.is_none() { return None; } return Some(x.unwrap() + y.unwrap());

I wrote a short guide for how I did some of the pixel art in Smol Dungeon. Hopefully I kept it approachable. https://smoldungeon.com/pixel-art

I run a few websites on a single Linode, they're quite snappy if you don't do too much. No fancy optimizations required, just keep it vanilla, you can make great websites with just modern HTML, JS, CSS: https://krissha

One of my all-time favorite works of non-fiction. Essential reading for software engineers.

I don't know if I would agree that the final scene is more readable - especially the treasure chest. I can't deny it looks much nicer though! I spent a lot of time tweaking the sprites in my game for readability. I touch on it her

It's still around in some places, CrossFit gyms still include sit-ups and GHD sit-ups in their programming. But CrossFit and ill-thought movements go hand in hand.

Thanks! Yeah it struggles with periodic functions that are wide. For example it successfully crosses zero with sin(PIxN/5) and delivers reasonable results for sin(PIxN/3). For your specific example you would probably need to provi

I wrote a little hobbyist AI project [1] with no neural networks at all and was delighted with how good the results were. Definitely think the field is ready to start incorporating some different approaches. [1] https://littlefis

These ideas extend well beyond the realm of streaming apps too - so much of the software I use day to day is shockingly bad. Far, far too much churn driven from ladder-climbing obsessed middle managers who want rewrites and redesigns and en

Fabulous animations, I hope this means we're close to applying these genetic algorithm techniques to soft robots that we can actually build.

If you've never tried programming a game I would highly recommend it. There are many aspects that make a game a really interesting challenge: input, rendering, sound, and managing large global mutable state. Ludum Dare is a good excuse

This isn't true for me; I have a separate Apple ID for work. I was never explicitly told to use my personal one.
