These seem like some fairly standard approaches for reducing memory usage. I can't help to think that the approach of joining several distinct list into a single one in some way undercuts Rust's safety guarantees. If you previous

I don't think Molyneux's issue ever was due to industry pressure. The guy made some great games back in the day, but as long as he has been in the spotlight he has been known for overpromising and underdelivering. Don't get m

And there's also [[clang::musttail]] and [[msvc::musttail]]. As well as an effort to get it standardized: https://isocpp.org/files/papers/D3939R0.html (in C++).

I've seen variants of this comment for many years. The alternative to "web UI slop" would presumably be one of the many native toolkits. I see it in a different way. The fact that "web UI slop" has managed to make g

I grew up with and absolutely adore The Last Ninja series. I'm not going to comment on the size thing because it's so trite. Instead - here's [0] Ben Daglish (on flute) performing "Wastelands" together with the Norw

This is "just" about providing the official Chrome binary to ARM64 "desktop" Linux. You've been able to build and run Chromium on ARM Linux for a long time (I'm running it right now), it's just that they h

I did something similar a few years ago. I put together a Pimoroni Interstate 75 (which is an RP Pico with an integrated LED matrix connector), a 32x64 matrix, a NES controller port, designed a simple case for it and made a Tetris. It was a

FWIW, and errors aside, I think I agree with the general sentiment. Things added to the C++ library ossify. The ABI concerns, and the general unwillingness to do anything about it, is a big reason why Google largely exited the C++ standard

I recently had my Framework Desktop delivered. I didn't plan on using it for gaming, but I figured I should at least try. My experience thus far: * I installed Fedora 43 and it (totally unsurprisingly) worked great. * I insta

This felt like a blast from the past. At a few times reading this article, I had to go back and check that, yes, it's actually a new article from the year 2025 on STM in Haskell and it's even using the old bank account example.

That would depend on your idea of "good". It would be an upstream swim in most regards, but you could certainly make it work. The Asahi team has shown that you can get steam working pretty well on ARM based machines. But if gaming

Besides the box art, I miss the days when 1) the graphics card didn't cost more than the rest of the components put together, 2) the graphics card got all of its damn power through the connector itself, and 3) MSRP meant something.

You can write a WASM program today that touches the DOM, it just needs to go through the regular JS APIs. While there were some discussions early on about making custom APIs for WASM to access, that has long since been dropped - there are j

I first watched it back when it came out. At the time I was living in a different country and San Francisco was just another US city to me. I just happened to re-watch it yesterday (it still holds up) for the first time since moving to the

A simple example is `toJSON`. If an object defines that method, it'll get invoked automatically by JSON.stringify and it could have arbitrary side effects. I think it's less about side effects being common when serializing, just t

An alternative that is available right now is to get an M1/M2 MacBook Air and run Asahi Linux on it. The older models are pretty cheap, but still quite fast. There are some missing features, but it runs really well. I've been usin

I used yaml for some things back in the stone age (shout out to why the lucky stiff and syck). The more I used it, and the more I came in contact with it I started to dislike that it has so many features, and tries to be overly clever. I&#x

That kind of reasoning makes sense if you have a single publisher controlling the entire market and they don't want to undercut their own business. But that's obviously not the case. There are plenty of publishers that want to pub

While reading this, the old ARexx (Amiga Rexx) popped into my head. It was a scripting language that in itself wasn't very noteworthy. However, it also made it easy for applications to expose functionality through an ARexx port. And ag

One reason which matters with libraries is that slapping constexpr on a function is, in a way, a promise by the author that the function is indeed meant to be constexpr. If the author then changes the internals of the function so that it ca

You're looking at constructs mostly related to C++26 reflection. It's very new, so that might be why it looks like it's from a different planet. They necessarily had to invent some new syntax for it. I think C++26's refl
