Wow. I am so glad for this post because I am literally planning to do this today. I've been building an MMO using Elixir as the backend, and currently the main website is a static …

Lock-free ring buffer is my favorite data structure. I remember implementing it in C++ and then using a legitimate implementation in the form of boost:SPSC for prod. The idea is so…

I tried using Sora for a month. Never paid for it. I tried many different ways of prompting and I was always underwhelmed by its output. The generation would also take so long and …

Good point. Yeah I guess it wouldn't cut it for any fast-paced twitch shooter. Especially with a 120 update per second deadline. A non-deterministic GC pause could have disastorous…

In the case of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1. Thee matchmaking + leaderboards system was implemented by DemonWare (3rd party) in Erlang. Erlang actually has good enough performance for…

I am currently doing this! Working on an MMO game server implemented in Elixir. It works AMAZING and you get so much extra observability and reliability features for FREE. I don't …

As someone obsessed with Networking and Networking Topology I am so so fascinated by analog telephone networks. Just the idea of long-distance connections being made via physical w…

I don't care for personalities. You want to mark him as a grifter but is that just an emotional response? I have not bought anything from Ed, I don't subscribe to his newsletter, I…

There is no indication of being in a bubble when you're actually in one. Its only after the bubble pops do people recognize it in hindsight. Otherwise there would be no bubbles and…

Its not a good argument against him. I read his articles and he is absolutely correct about the state of things. Predicting the crash is a fools errand. I don't use that as a argum…

I'm hitting 2 years of unemployment in a month. Its somewhat intentional, the day after I became unemployed (I quit) I started to learn Elixir and began work on building a MMO-type…

My game is both "small" and "large" in scope at the same time. Its large in the sense that its a Multiplayer Online Game. But the scope of the gameplay is rather limited. I'm not t…

I'm finding that dedicating yourself to working on your own game can be a detriment to finding an actual job in the industry? It feels like employers are wary about your intentions…

It is total quackery. When you zoom out in these discussions you begin to see how the AI yappers and their methodology is just modern-day alchemy with its own jargon and "esoteric"…

Continuing to work on my MMORPG made with Elixir and Godot. The game has been live for 2 months but there's still lots to do. A lot of the architecture revolves around the AI simul…

Right? I've never associated "double-spacer" with boomer. Maybe anally retentive? Someone who is trying too hard? The only thing I associate with boomers is ALL-CAPS writing. Which…

Wow, this sounds like how the AI simulation for my multiplayer game works. Each AI agent has a view of the world and can make local steering decisions to avoid other agents and sel…

So did Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Swimming! I started going 2x a week. I took lessons as a kid but hated it due to a fear of water after a traumatic experience in the deep-end. I don't have that fear anymore and I …

What are you supposed to do when your manager has terrible and/or selective memory? My last manager would assign me work and then promptly forget half the time what he assigned me.…

Yup! I find Elixir makes it really intuitive to know when to represent a collection as a map and when to use a list of tuples. And its easy to transform between the two when needed…

I read it this year. I loved it. I think if I read it a few years earlier it would be totally lost on me. For my self what I found interesting is the depiction of Russia in the 19t…

A bit unrelated to the main topic but whenever I exceed a certain threshold of smoking cannabis (>0.3g) it seems to induce some automatic rhythmic movement in me. If there's music …

I see this take on the internet a lot usually combined with some statement of how Schizophrenics are secret geniuses and were the prophets of olden times. It just doesn't square of…
