I've been in the beta for quite a while, the only issues I had were resolved quite quickly. I never got to contribute that much in feedback since I honestly never had anything to complain about, outside of not being able to also use gh

A second processor isn't that crazy of an idea for Nintendo given the 3DS had an ARM11, ARM9, and an ARM7! Famously, the 3DS has complete GBA hardware inside of it that never got used outside of the Ambassador Program.

Unfortunately, vectors in Zig are the kind you use in SIMD and not in graphics programming. Perhaps there's some overlap, but I'm unfamiliar with both fields so I can't say to what degree.

If that's their policy, they genuinely make zero effort to follow it.

While I can appreciate their dedication to Linux, I find their application process arbitrary and random, if not confusingly prejudiced towards certain types of games. It's honestly a dice roll whether a visual novel will be accepted or

From my point of view, dating sims have declined in popularity over the past two decades. The west has always had a niche following, but Japanese titles rarely made it over here, and indie dating sims exist in a community that's quite

I did an admittedly trivial amount of looking, but it seems like the videos surfacing right now about Andrew Tate being arrested are related to a previous arrest. As of the writing of this post, there doesn't seem to be much credible e

In my personal opinion, the rhythm game osu! [1] and the related osu!framework [2] are great examples of C# code. [1] https://github.com/ppy/osu [2] https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework

Oh that's fair. Zig makes a big deal about ensuring that "what you're supposed" to do is the simplest/easiest option at your disposal. In service of this, even in Zig's current pre-1.0 state, adding a library c

This may be the case with the current Zig ecosystem (even then, two community-created package mangers already exist), but my understanding is that at some point, Zig will receive an official package manager. The current build system and typ

Perhaps I misunderstand, but I don't imagine most individuals or companies writing production C code to be on the same "level of competency" as a research company as prestigious as Bell Labs.

It definitely wasn't needed, but it goes against what I think makes SerenityOS so special. That being that everything in SerenityOS and its several related projects is made from scratch.

Agreed. It's a wonderful talk. I'm elated that discoveries are still being made. Since this talk, the understanding has come to be that there are two independent pixel FIFOs. One responsible for sprites, and the other for backgrou

Perhaps "Safe Rust" would be more apt (de-referencing any pointer is unsafe), though I think it's quite fine and well accepted to refer to "Safe Rust" as just "Rust". Of course, the null pointer can still

I think it's rather clear that using "based" in this context is more common in certain communities than others.

I can't say much about the use of macros, however there are some SM83-specific patterns you can take advantage of if you decode instructions using octals like what I do in my own gameboy emulator here [1] [1] https://git.mus
