I can't find it right now, but there was a collection of crazy stuff he said on IRC while Quake was in development. Basically promising the world (e.g. the dragon). Very energetic,…

I used to make fun/hate the guy, but nowadays I can tell her really cares about games, he just bit more then he could chew and was too inexperienced to properly deal with it. The b…

I 100% believe the story about how he was goaded into doing this, rather than beating the sorry of jerk that think that's hilarious. Romero was impulsive and a bit naive (go read h…

This has been mentioned extensively before, and corroborated by other people. I think it's true. He had an old podcast he'd ask old time Apple II/PC developers about stuff they dev…

From reading their reaction online, the author is certainly not concerned with some people feeling hurt by the example video. Rather amused, it seems to me in fact.

Thanks.

What are the three questions? Are they always the same or do you adapt on context?

Ugh, same. Bought a Brother laser scanner/printer that has been a delight. I don't print much, but it does its job stashed away in my closet through wifi. I can even print from my …

Everybody starts making zero (or negative) dollars. I have no positive view of Bolt myself, but in a situation like this VCs are putting money on future prospects/growth potential,…

If 80% is your code, and you're the one making architectural decisions about it, it's not surprising you're much faster at it. Being a 10x developer is not about commits, or 0 defe…

The intro story soured me on the guy. Millions of dollars to move a few trees for a party feels like a maybe waste of resources. That's not the sort of mentality I expect from desi…

That's why they are the keys in fact. Those are the usual shortcuts for frame navigation in some video editors.

> rather painful, at least at first I get that some people prefer that, but I've been on macOS daily for 10+ years and still can't find the top level OS paradigms (window switching…

Another day, another PH essay with some kind of defense for being an asshole disguised as higher discourse.

Unless you live in windows ONLY, start with wgpu (a Rust library that supports WebGPU). It'll work with Metal/Vulkan/Web. WebGPU is very similar to Vulkan, near a 1:1 in concepts. …

WebGPU is better in many dimensions, but also worse in others people might care about. More appropriately, in this case, WebGPU is in many ways less approachable for novices. One o…

The number of people in this site that can't accept that half of the transactions was fraudulent is astounding. If you're in the space, going "well actually" in every article criti…

No, people making millions out of misinformation is the problem. They have learned to appeal to primitive instincts and are making their fortunes out of that. Attempts are curtaili…

You're doing your company a great disservice if you think no great engineer had ever joined Meta.

Not a negative thing at all despite the perception du jour in the media.

A bunch of companies called "Meta" already exist. Going by that definition, these guys are the ones that were attempting to reuse a name that already belonged to someone else. They…

Good.

That's general population, not traveling population. A traveler can be a vector of infection in more ways than someone who stays local.

Eh, I would go even deeper: the original Macintosh keyboard didn't have arrow keys because you shouldn't need it according to z Jobs. People complained and Apple held their feet fo…
