ORMs are so incredibly finicky. I still remember using old Linq-to-SQL (not Entity Framework) and I had to write the linq query in the reverse order of what I expected or it created 3 nested subqueries instead of just joining the tables tog

Sadly the era of government that split up studios and theaters is long gone. Hollywood is built on a different time between things like this and its flavor of unions that cover the biggest players in the industry. Closest thing we have to a

I'd say check out Crafting Interpreters [1]. It has 2 parts, the first in Java for doing a treewalk Interpreter in Java before going farther with a version written in C. 1. https://craftinginterpreters.com/

Not really. Lore is for gamedev at companies and so not a distributed VCS. Using it for an open source project if you allow outside PRs makes no sense.

Stripe did such a good job with this book (and the others I bought that they published). Each one feels like an artifact I can show off on top of having interesting information inside.

So you're assuming game devs write every line of code in their server infrastructure. First, could be using a third party library you have license to use on a limited number of machines that make up your backend servers. Second you cou

Elevator pitch for the language itself or a library/library ecosystem that lets you do things better than in other languages. Ruby originally blew up because Rails was a way people enjoyed writing backend code, despite the speed issues

It is interesting seeing more and more GCed ecosystems become aggressive about allowing code to stack allocate more. Watching dotnet go through it since I think Core 2.1, or whenever they introduced Span<T>, Memory<T>, etc to ge

The version I've always heard is just well designed but less popular languages, but the ones I can think of were all functional (Haskell/F#/OCaml/Clojure/Elm/Erlang)

If nothing else dotnet has TCO IL operations (C# doesn't compile down to them last I knew but F# does) so in theory shouldn't be hard to add.

AOT vs JIT is always interesting since JIT depends on the runtime actually deciding to bother running the later passes to get more optimized code. And sorry for the paranoia, I find a lot of people tried f# or even c# back in 4.x Framework

Out of curiosity when did you write that interpreter? The entire dotnet ecosystem has seen massive speed improvements over the years, particularly for anyone who last tried them during the Framework era. Hell they even put work in to improv

I don't know that any open source project will ever compete with Unreal and its high end tech targeting the AAA space. But beyond that, Raylib doesn't give a ton of things an engine does because that is not the point of a library

The thing that is funny about it is at least with the mixes, it does actively make me engage less because there are videos I would click on if they were not being tied into a mix, but because they are I actively choose not to open the video

It really amazes how how Youtube refuses to let me hide stuff I don't want to see on my homepage. I still long for the ability to tell them to not give me mix playlists, I do not want them, and often they annoy me when the first song i

It is, at best, incredibly hard to accumulate that much wealth without doing shady things. Microsoft's monopolistic practices in the 90s for example. The only person I can think of that ever cracked a billion without their money coming

SDL3 is something I've been keeping an eye on, but at least one thing that held me back from diving into it was SDL_Mixer (audio library) was not updated to a release version for SDL3 until I think a month ago? I need to get back to it

For me the nice thing about multiple cursors is when it would take more time to write the regex than it does to just throw down say 8 cursors and update the spots.

Clojure CL as well have macros that let you thread results from call to call, but you could argue that's cheating because of how flexible Lisp syntax is.

Currently DUs are slated for the next version of c# releasing end of this year. However last I knew they only come boxed which at least to me partly defeats the point of having them (being able to have multiple types inline because of the w

On top of cost, they probably cannot get as much memory as they order in a timely fashion so offsetting that with greater efficiency matters right now.

I wonder how much of this complexity is a form of resume driven development. Jobs are webdev with a host of microservices and a datastore and and and... This leads people to building apps in that style instead of a command line tool (or non

There was a recent gnarly version of this where some anime reactors and at least one animation channel (with something like 1.4 million subs) got demonetized and had to go through a ton of hoops to get a human to fix it.

I really should get back to outer wilds. I like you bounced off of it because of the controls, and I keep meaning to go back because people I have faith in swear by it. I know the most basic secret you learn incredibly early, but that'

Yup. I remember running dotmemory on a whim and being confused by all the stringnames until I noticed what was in them. They really should put that in the docs to just make a const stringname somewhere. I use a global static class for anyth

I'd caveat this slightly as "it depends" For mathy stuff, 100% c# is going to be better. But if you need to round trip to the engine a lot getting stuff in and out of the dotnet heap can actually hurt performance. You also ha

If you use an existing template (and are willing to use scons) GDExtension doesn't really have the standard build problems of rigging everything up with CMake/etc in my experience. The template is set up to handle the "set up

Feels like more and more of these sorts of things are popping up. For example there's TidalCycles which is a Haskell version of the idea, which also exists as https://strudel.cc/ which is I believe a webasm version of

Oh yeah I love f#, I need to find more excuses to use it. I just wish it felt like MS was willing to invest more into it. But at least they have not abandoned it and continue to put some resources into its ongoing growth.
