A platformer game where you can become 1 dimensional and follow surfaces as a line: https://myth-game.pages.dev Space - Jump / E - Attack Curious if it works on your browser.

The work thus far has mostly been on a seamless mobile UI, & to make engaging with the LLM like less of a chat and more like browsing an interesting dynamic wiki about your own lif…

Curious—Do you have a best Metal project to learn from? Foveated rendering and temporal reprojection important here I imagine.

An LLM assistant app for engaging with your journal. Insights, prompts (for humans), research leads, etc.

I learned vim young enough that I'll probably die editing text this way—RIP Bram.

Fear that postmodernism "infects" the humanities has always read as condescension to me: "this idea is too dangerous and 'normal' people won't be able to see the ways it will be ab…

At some point (not sure if it is still true) Jai had or was going to have language-level implementation of relative pointers, i.e. a 16 or 32 bit relative offset from “this field’s…

> It makes me sad because while they have awesome professional accomplishments, they would have been awesome mothers and parents as well. I just wanted to point out politely how st…

Looks a bit like Odin ( https://odin.handmade.network/ ) --a language explicitly designed to be small and simple I've been enjoying learning and toying around with.

Seriously disappointed this morning to see the anti-Google site https://fuckoffgoogle.de/ flagged and removed from Hacker News. It makes real points that obviously clash with the c…

Actually, you can use DevTools to inspect DevTools. Hit option-command-J to bring up devtools, make sure it's in "window mode," i.e., in a separate window from the browser itself, …

Using React every day has me sold on functional reactive programming for UI. But there's definitely some friction at the boundary between the nicely declarative React tree and the …

Have they been working on compilation speed? About a year ago I was trying some WebGL "bindings" that had definitions for all the constants and functions, and the game I was hackin…

I like to imagine at least that our consciousnesses are abstract enough, and derive enough pleasure from art, and music, and conversation, etc., that they don't need arbitrary goal…

There are figures on page 6 that answer the OP's question directly. And there's also this money quote: "Building an accurate model for modern processors is virtually impossible."

+1. Why does it matter? It's totally his right to remain (pseudo-)anonymous. Plus, it might be part of the fun. I wrote about _why for this reason, too: http://kevinw.github.io/201…

Are you sure about your examples? I think you're confusing "xbox live arcade" with "xbox live." You don't have to create games with XNA to get them on xbox live. I specifically rem…

Wow. I was one year old when this was published. Stallman's combination of sort-of-maddeningly-precise nerdspeak and revolutionary zeal has always made me cock my head and listen--…

It was Lion. I'll revisit my impressions. It'd be nice to collect some hard data too...

I'm with Gruber. The display is sexy. And good typography is beautiful on it. But my experience with Safari at the Apple Store was that the FPS when scrolling through pages is noti…

I use Vim because I'm faster in it than anything else, hands down. But I do think there's probably some vague psychological argument to be made about the elegance and simplicity of…

I've been really tempted to fork and contribute to MacVim and steal some of the nicer visual things ST2 is doing. Namely, 1) rounded corners on selection boxes 2) nice glowing, fad…

Cool stuff! Really like the template handler that "notices" which attributes you're interested in and registers listeners for you. Is that implemented with a proxy "this?" or with …
