I'm gonna jump in here with some self promo - back in college I TA'd a class that, for a few weeks, taught Malbolge, and the only assignment was for students to write a program tha…

I think the second sentence of the article covers that pretty simply? To run it in the browser with wasm? > One of the most exciting things I've been doing with this is getting my …

I guess we have very different ideas around what makes good music. Every single Suno produced song sounds like a 60kbps extremely compressed mp3 while also having extremely generic…

If this is a learning exercise, cool! If this is a real thing, it needs a lot of work. Lots of failure modes, errors that are not being handled, sometimes exceptions, sometimes swa…

Ah, yes, the "you're holding it wrong" defense. If one tool has a higher safety rating than another, significantly so, preventing entire classes of mistakes from happening that the…

Sorry, what I meant by "system error" was more "notification system error". Not error as in "data loss", error as in "reporting".

Anecdata, they might have had a system error. My Microsoft account that I use the free tier OneDrive on had the same email sent (you're over x% full, consider upgrading!). I suspec…

I don't think you really need a tool for that, you can just add something like "after the task is finished, have a subagent review the work in an adversarial fashion. If any defect…

I'm not saying the tech currently exists in a form you can just plop into a project and have it give you the exact CRT look and feel that you want. What I am saying is that you can…

From my experience with game engines and people that really care about CRTs - I believe the effect (confidence: 95%) can be entirely achieved with rendering glue in any of the mode…

This is cool. I took a look at the public GitHub (not too deep) and this appears to use classical neural network training techniques - there is an exposed API that the author came …

Typically my criteria for "production-ready" is "has been battle-tested in production". Without any production dog fooding, I consider software (that I write) as "alpha", "beta", o…

I wrote my own spin lock library over a decade ago in order to learn about multi threading, concurrency, and how all this stuff works. I learned a lot!

Thanks! My other problem was formatting. Just wanted to share that I see 0 swap usage and nowhere near 100% memory usage as a counterpoint.

> Clean code will slow you down Hard disagree. In fact, learning how to apply clean code and architectural patterns in game dev has kept projects manageable and on track and done n…

You can do the above in C#, I haven't written Java in a decade so can't comment on that. I don't really understand your argument though - the options approach is extremely readable…

This is a philosophy, or "opinion", and should not be confused with truth. If the world was 100% evil people and beings, across all of history, forever, the present would look very…

Interesting. When I do not feel up to the task of working, whether it is a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or arbitrary cause, I use one of my provided PTO days and email t…

This looks interesting. Maybe I'm not in-the-know, but why would you offload such important aspects like `sync` to the client instead of building in some protocol to ensure that fi…

For a game I'm making, I have a helper function that takes in a specified time (as a float) and returns a (heap based) wait instruction. The times are literals sprinkled throughout…
