Protestware is fascinating. It exposes that corporations depend on developers with no formal or informal relationship. It's also like that Daffy Duck cartoon where he performs a ma…

SteamOS is only going to support other hardware by coincidence. Valve is unlikely to put in resources beyond the hardware that they want to support. It's also unlikely to change th…

There's similar projects like QB64 and L-Basic. I have to wonder if keeping language variants alive will be of historic significance hundreds of years from now. Will anyone care ab…

I did a web remake of the old DOS re-imagining of SpaceWar a few years back as an exercise. https://spacewar.pro https://github.com/fritzy/spacewar.pro It's kind of fun watching th…

Ultima Online 2

I haven't had Firefox crash in years, and I use nightly for all of my day-to-day browsing. Chrome crashes or locks whenever I iterate on a canvas based game after some amount of re…

I made a HTML5 version based on the DOS spacewar.exe as an exercise at https://spacewar.pro

I imagine the render task tree also has to determine which intermediate textures to keep in the texture cache, and which ones will likely need to be redone in the next frame. That …

It seems strange that they would claim that Python's libuv based event loop is twice as fast as Node.js's libuv based event loop. There's some context missing to that statement or …

We in the XMPP community work hard to make "Jabber" secure. Forward secrecy, federation and client scoring, carefully constructed extensions. But without end-to-end encryption like…

Both of these articles fail to mention that as of Postgres 9.5, you can use logical replication rather than WAL. This is why Amazon's RDS now supports multi-region slaving with Pos…

Step one: Enable Linux Subsystem for Windows Step two: Install "Bash for Windows aka Ubuntu root" Step three: compile as normal

According to the feature-set, this is basically NeoVIM. * Separation into front-end and back-end: NeoVIM does this. The UI uses the same interface a plugin does. * Asynchronous ope…
