Funny that some problems Intel ARC has are due to games assuming that intel = integrated GPU... which was/is sensible ofc... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y09iNxx5nFE

See ya'll tomorrow. This was awesome. The discussions live on Discord are incredible! #REAC2024

Going through the required "training" yet again thinking - you can't make this non-cringe or fun, the only way to make it better is to make it shorter. But, assuming people aren't morons, I went to check... and yes, by law there is a minimum duration (1h) these have to be.

You know what would be an awesome (and impossible) piece of data art? Visualizing how the mundane things we do on the web end up hitting the myriads of internal endpoints, databases, ultimately CPUs all over the world. Like a traceroute, for computation.

@npub1ykd…6j2y @npub1ykw…9y3y U know why. But the article is incorrect "VGA was deceptively simple. A framebuffer, more or less, which provided the famous chunky Mode 13h - part of what made Doom possible." - afaik Doom was not mode 13h, because on OG VGA that mode was still slow.

@npub1src…fms4 Fight for regulation: win-win. No need to leave action to the good will of individuals or corporations.

@npub1ykd…6j2y mah, C++ has footguns everywhere, pretty much the moment you write class(). Implicit conversion by default if U have a single argument constructor? Initialization order dependend on the variable order? All the way down to "modern" C++ where you won't even know what = means etc etc. We all know all that's wrong (which is most of the language).

@npub1ykd…6j2y Unpopular in "our circles" - mundane facts in others :) but yeah... Re: the write-only-ness of python, you know I don't know? I mean, perhaps, but I'm not persuaded at all - and it's not just me, I think in the literature, there was never a correlation shown between dynamic languages and defects or tech debt etc. I think it might be that python being orders of magnitude easier than C++ simply has a relatively higher % of more junior users.

Surprising facts. 1) The year of Linux on the desktop came - and it's inside Windows. WSL2 is great! 2) Visual Studio Code is legitimately great and 3) The most fun programming language today for hacking is Python

@npub1ykd…6j2y Continuing to find new waves to ride - balancing exploration and exploitation.

2024-01-21 22:43:45

A company is the best until it isn’t. Exploration vs exploitation, the innovator’s dilemma et al. It shows over and over, from tech debt to society. What companies do you feel nail the tradeoff? Nv and Apple come to mind for me. What others? And how?

Meshes for authoring are different than runtime: they need A: to provide adjacency to navigate the mesh and B: multiple attributes e.g. to be able to create UV and normal seams w/o disconnecting the mesh explicitly. AFAIK for A everyone does some winged variant. What about B?

Wow. Every time I open the settings of Edge I notice some new crap. Did you know about Microsoft Rewards? Did you know about 'edge secure network'?

Javascript is way, way too dynamic for its own good. Python is the right amount.
