My childhood was PCBoard, POV-Ray, then later Lightwave, 3ds Max, Bryce. WADs, Hammer Editor, GTkRadiant, both of the scenes. Sierra and Lucasarts games... Turbo Pascal!

Made my own github alternative ways back. Kind of like cgit on steroids. I only use github for free backup now.

I'm building a C++ game engine from scratch with CC. Renderer is Vulkan, no wrappers. Around 30k LoC now, quite a ways to go yet, but CC has been doing fine overall. Of course "he"…

Comments from your "preferred commenter" are like songs from your favorite band, sometimes they disappoint you.

Doubtful all services are ever down simultaneously, either way: What do devs do when Github or Gitlab is down? AWS? GCP? Azure? Or whatever Atlassian product they're using. Plus, m…

The title here is beginner developer, but the article states non-developer. Nevertheless, dev docs are usually written for reasonably experienced developers, but new to specific fr…

Switched to Vivaldi long time ago. For reasons like this, ToS, Mozilla changing their mission, etc. Vivaldi respects your privacy, supports Chrome extensions, and all the customiza…

Hah, that reminds me how I started leakfree.org, where Black Mesa got started. That was a long time ago.

The explanation is in the first sentence. How much clearer could he be?

What's the other version control you use?

Here's a few crappy phone pics from near Oslo on a night (evening, around 19 I think) it was very visible with the naked eye. 0.5 seconds exposure. https://www.flickr.com/search/?s…

Come to the arctic circle during polar night, then you will see impressive.
