It omits that the prisoners are deceased and uses the term "vanish" which implies it's not known where the organs have gone. "Alabama prisoners' organs vanish, and there's a whole …

The overhead of cgo seems like it would not be an issue if you could pass in an array of vectors and moved the outer loop into the procedure instead of calling the procedure for ea…

https://github.com/ir33k/gmi100/blob/master/gmi100.c#L27 definitely threw me for a loop until I realized it was a line saving trick. It would be more readable to save lines elsewhe…

I am not a lawyer and please correct me if I'm wrong but as I understand it rules and mechanics are not copyrightable. What is copyrightable is the flavor text and specific compila…

I think you need to be a bit more humble on a topic that's clearly going over your head. Imagine a scenario where you are testing out a brand new RISC-V development board. The vend…

I wonder if it's possible this was an optical illusion. Seeing optical illusions where oil tankers are hovering in mid-air has changed my perception of what people could see and ho…

I've seen a few large Rails codebases that included a state machine library like mentioned in the article. Every single one was worse because of it. It pushes the code down a path …

The problem with these types of gems is that they're good for refactoring functional style code that takes an input and produces a result and has "few side effects" as they mention…

Sometimes I find it a little depressing that (at least through my laymen eyes) we are nearing a technological plateau and that more research into physics is unlikely to get us to a…

While stylistically I don't necessarily agree with him all the time, Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero ( https://handmadehero.org/ ) is probably the most complete resource in terms of…

You're right, when I mentioned "taxonomy, abstraction and world-modeling" I meant as it pertains to code organization in the tradition OOP/OOD sense where it's generally about nami…

> Doesn't the former enable the latter? Not necessarily. ECS is a local maxima when developing a general purpose game engine. Since it's general purpose it can do nothing more than…

I think the focus on ECS when talking about data-oriented design largely misses the point of what data-oriented design is all about. Focusing on a _code_ design pattern is the anti…

I use it when I need to be really productive on projects and tasks where there are a lot of little things to accomplish and lots of little details to keep track of. My procrastinat…

I ran `brew install graphiz` a week ago and got a new major postgres version.

> The major argument is somewhat philosophical. I don’t like what people expect out of CD games. Does anyone think that the cheeseball dialog in crash and burn is a GOOD addition? …

I remember JWT coming on my radar around 10 years ago during the height of RESTful bikeshedding. It was a "must have" because sessions, being stateful, are not pure REST. Now that …

This is good advice. However, I've seen this advice before and the example is usually something where it's easy to imagine what an incremental step is. The advice is when you want …

There's something about event driven architectures that captures our engineering minds and makes our imaginations run wild. At face value it seems like the Grand Unifying Theory of…

This is the type of code/suggestion that I would have eaten up 10 years ago as a junior. Now this type of code just makes me angry and I spend most of my time turning stuff like th…

The goal is definitely not to replace NGINX or Apache or the like. I don't see handling TLS ever being a goal of this project, same with HTTP2 support. Although allowing the user t…

Yes, there are some pieces missing that are on my radar like chunked support, uri/query parsing and sendfile.

I don't really understand what your criticisms are. There is literally no functional code difference between a single header library and a two file library. Your aversion is as arb…
