SDF font rendering has been around 20+ years though? Valve really popularized in their 2007 SIGGRAPH paper and Chlumský developed MSDF font rendering in a 2015 thesis.

If you're paying the cost of serializing/deserializing the whole game state around every reload of the worker, why bother with the unsafe type-erased PersistWrapper (which still requires you to restart the host any time the game s

There's a bit of a trick in that solution: n is assumed to have the lower two bits clear so for an arbitrary n the array would really be: [(n & ~3), 1, (n & ~3) + 3, 0][n % 4] where the (n & ~3) makes sure those lower 2 bit

It's a common extension but it's not standard. Both C23 and C++23 only allow identifiers to start with a Unicode XID_START character, which excludes $. And with older standards, it was just Latin letters, the underscore, and expli

Points 3 & 4 could be combined: like .plan, each user has an o+r .status file. Its contents are a user's status message, but its modified time is used specially to indicate when that user was last active. Anytime the usuc client wr

Why not just fix it? It's a trivial fix and has the added benefit that a zero-initialized DYN_ARR_OF(x) struct would be in a valid state, which is always nice. A struct with several dynamic arrays can then much simpler to initialize, f

Because in many places, standard time is the exceptional case. In the US, at least, we spend almost twice as much of the year in daylight saving time than in standard time. For example, standard time during the 2017 to 2018 winter lasted 12
