I'm very hopeful for the possibility of using bluesky for blob data. A friend and I had considered looking into storing DOOM WADs on bluesky so that "map packs" could be shared in …

Back in 2011/2012 I worked for a small game development company and at my recommendation we moved all our assets under 100kb into an sqlite3 db, and then made a "pak file" and stor…

I did open an issue on GitHub with the CPython implementation and it's being looked into. The crash happens for sure in the debug version of Python. However we're seeing valgrind a…

It might not have been obvious, but I used the currently available Python 3.12.5 release. However upon filing a ticket, and being asked for more testing, we found this issue persis…

In the TV show "The Orville" a character has their matter replicator create "500 cigarettes", but it only created 463 after someone counted them all. This is a meme that's been mak…

It should be a brighter orange closer to what you see on HN's top bar. I've been waffling on the magenta. It works "fine" in low usage. This is the first post where I used it a gre…

It was entered into the second chance pool[1]. Interim posts were probably not as popular because I accidentally broke my site's CSS briefly that wasn't obvious in the preview depl…

The public vs. private aspect also affects inheritance. structs publicly inherit from base types by default, classes privately inherit from base types.

Author of the post here. The compiler version thing is definitely an issue. That said, if you're worried about having to litter `if/endif` calls all over the place, I recommend you…

To be fair, CMake's language was first created somewhere back in 1996. It's quite old at this point and is basically in the "sunk cost fallacy" range of existence.

I'm always willing to help others pierce the veil of reality from time to time. Hope you enjoyed the post :)

Forgive me, but I can't think of a single build system where the compiler is run on a source file twice. All of the ones I've seen support either parsing the .d file generated by a…

That post in particular was a subject of discussion at CppCon for a hot second and is partially why I mentioned the Rust thing. There are other things as well, but I don't want to …

(Hi, author of the article) The issue is, "how do you find these dependent modules?". As of right now, there is no way to find a module. It is not tied to a location in a subdirect…

I believe it was Tenacious-C: http://tenaciousc.com/

The Learn You A Haskell, and Learn You Some Erlang links both point to Learn You Some Erlang. Some folks may become confused. :)

With MSVC on x86, you can pass /Qlong-double to the compiler for it to "properly size" the long double type :)

Could be worse. 40K~ish for an entry level game programmer. Few exits there as well :P

If I might make a (self promoting) suggestion, I wrote one specifically for small C/C++/ObjC projects. You can find the most recent release here[1]. Only a few people have used it,…

Try ending the actual process and then relaunching with your browser of choice open as well (I was having the same problem too)

I absolutely love Io, and my favorite "feature" of the implementation is the ability to modify scripts in real time and have the changes take place immediately, for better or worse…
