For me, the interest in engine-making is to give myself a toolkit that is suited for the kinds of games I want to make, rather than an engine that is trying to be everything to eve…

Anecdotally, I have also felt many of these same complaints. In my case, I have a semi-autonomous loop where Claude writes some code, and uses `codex exec` to do an adversarial rev…

This is brilliant. Thanks!

Couldn't disagree more. I've only recently started digging into graphics programming and I've found it incredibly rewarding. It's the _one_ area of expertise that I don't yet have …

Sony in particular is doubling down on platform exclusives again. I was waiting for Ghost of Yōtei to come out on PC, but Sony cancelled the port. We're well and truly fucked witho…

I have heard this from a bunch of folks, but that was not my experience. For the couple days I was able to use it, I didn't hit a single gate, and I was using it pretty extensively…

In that case, I would consider a lightweight static site generator. It sounds like you're fairly new to programming, so I would suggest a static site generator that is easy to inst…

Depends on your goal. If you’re not interested in hand-maintaining the code of the website(s), and you just want a nice GUI for publishing pages/posts/etc., then I’d say use some h…

I use Lightroom Classic with the excellent Negative Lab Pro plug-in for converting film negatives, but I can’t stand Lightroom itself. I could easily see using this for post-conver…

If US manufacturers (or manufacturers in allied countries) do this, legal avenues exist to hold those manufacturers accountable. Not so with China. (That is not to say that the FCC…

I would largely agree with that assessment, yeah. Dangerous place to bike, too. I've even seen pedestrians get clobbered by bikers because they stepped into the bike lane not reali…

I was recently in a Waymo in SF. It was turning right from a busy street onto a narrow street. Mid-turn, the car slammed on the brakes. I sat there for a couple seconds like “???” …

$4.50/gal+ as of a couple days ago in Vegas. Probably higher now.

We started using Buildkite at $DAYJOB years ago and haven't looked back. Incredibly, GitHub Actions seems to have gotten _worse_ in the interim. Absolutely no regrets from switchin…

Man. I'd really rather they did the inverse: drop systemd and only maintain the SysV versions of the materials, even if that means dropping GNOME/etc., because I think understandin…

Oh man. I missed that announcement somehow. Where'd you see they're exiting pro/flagship tier stuff? Everything I can find says they're continuing to hand-make their higher-end stu…

If you're talking about their headphones, I agree they _feel_ cheaply-made, but they are by no means low-quality. When you make headphones with premium materials, they get heavy, a…

In a previous life, I was the platform architect for the Bluetooth headphones at Bowers & Wilkins. We, naturally, did tons of competitive analysis, and I tend to agree Bose blows s…

I'm a Tailwind Plus customer in spite of not being the world's biggest Tailwind fan. Even though it really grinds my gears how unreadable markup can be when littered with Tailwind …

Zed has been one of the most consequential changes to my dev tools in years. It's noticeably faster in day-to-day use than VS Code (launch time, input latency, etc.), is way less o…

It's mostly Mass Effect that's trouble under Proton. It requires the stupid EA launcher, which is trash. I have a Lenovo Legion Go S and getting it to work reliably is an absolute …

Yeah. I feel the same way. If not for the fact that my gaming PC pulls double duty as a work PC, I'd seriously consider ditching Windows 11 for Bazzite. I worry that we are edging …

Having maintained a relatively popular open source project for a bunch of years, I love this idea. Totally stealing this for future projects.

Extremely context-dependent for me. For boilerplate stuff like generating tests against a well-defined API, in a compiled language, maybe 2-3x. Far less in languages and frameworks…

I worked with the author of Fil-C at Apple while on the Safari team, and he's easily one of the brightest folks I've had the pleasure of knowing. Fil-C looks extremely cool.
