I'm really glad they added a dark mode. But performance is absolutely horrible, I don't get how this made it through QA.

Exactly :) I come from a .net background, where compile times are kinda bad compared to what I get in C. I had also heard of big C++ projects that could take more than 30 mins to build. So I was always scared to move to native code. Until I

I tend to use a single compilation unit, and use plain C. For a 50k line project I have build times of 1-1.2sec. On top of that I'm also linking to opengl, windows.h and a couple of headers in the standard lib.

Increasingly popular are the "single header libraries", which were popularised by Sean Barrett[0]. It's as simple as downloading the header, putting it somewhere in your tree and #including it where you need it. It's esp

This seems pretty draconic. To compare with a recent law passed here, in Belgium: - A fee of 4.000 Euro to bring a product to market. - Juice bottles of maximum 10ml - No remote selling of e-cigarettes (but liquids are for some reason allow

The most surprising detail to me was how much water they have to drain out of the metro each day: "As a result, he said, they “discharge approximately 2-million gallons of water a day.” In other words: about three Olympic sized swimmin

Loading the table and chair scene caused a huge memory leak, quickly consuming 14GB of memory and then crashing Firefox. It's still a cool demo though!
