I believe Atom are already writing a new backend for their text buffer backend, but that part of the code is unrelated to what VSCode uses. I imagine the very fact that VSCode exists and performs so well will be enough to finally make that

A behaviour tree can be data-driven easily, which opens opportunities for easy editing via DSLs, graphical tools and even changing the AI on the fly at runtime. If you can afford it, do BTs.

That's the same for "wget|sh", apt-get, npm or any other system. Now, if the argument is that configure tends to break more often and for more obscure reasons, I can tentatively agree with that.

Vague details from memory: To make the vertical borders disappear, you could reset the refresh timing (maybe it was just by switching from 50Hz to 60Hz mode) halfway through a frame, and the video chip on the ST would desync from the retrac

I'm pretty sure this idea will not survive the next 30 years; raw manpower is no longer the main driver of economic growth and wealth creation.

The language is large, supports multiple paradigms and in general allows many different ways to express the same thing. That's great for short term productivity and/or small and tightly knit teams, but I worry about less ideal con

My impression is that Canada does not have such a culture of overwork and that it is not dominated by Puritan ethics. Tech, however, and games in particular, do have that kind of overwork culture; but they have it everywhere in the world. R

That has been my very limited experience as well, but with Scala I'm still things will get out of hand. The only "new" language I feel confident would not disappoint or surprise me negatively down the road is Golang.
