It's for backwards compatibility, as always. You also need to enable foreign keys or they aren't enforced. You also need to tune for performance (enable WAL, adjust cache size, etc.). The SQLite documentation is very up front abou

I think the main goal is direct to phones rather than being an alternative to fiber. But it's also a very good option for people living in rural areas with poor service (shoddy DSL).

It's not specific to game dev but Visual Studio has hot reload for C++ that you should be able to make use of. C# compile times are fast. Performance is a lot better than you probably think, especially with modern .NET (not what Unity

> none of them make sense for a consumer device. One of the valid use cases on consumer devices is video game anti-cheat software. Theoretically remote attestation can enable them to be less invasive.

Yes but it's not just Rubikon anymore. They are working on a new physics engine called Ragnarok. I highly doubt they're making a whole new physics engine just for their existing games because Rubikon is working fine there.

Try reading between the lines. Why would Valve be developing a new game physics engine internally?

Valve is still working on new things. See this section, specifically the bottom. https://box2d.org/posts/2026/06/announcing-box3d/#valve-to-t...

They did when it was announced. And it still will, just not as much as they would have wanted to.

Threads use more system resources than coroutines so it can be a big deal when you can potentially have thousands of them running.

I'm expecting them to lock down future devices because of this. Asahi can't keep up so the feature is basically unused.

They're typically manufactured with very different processes so one has to wonder what compromises are being made here to get both on the same die.

Compute? Inference doesn't only need memory bandwidth. You need to actually do work with the memory you're loading which needs compute power. Which needs more electricity, which needs more cooling, which isn't practical for s

Unity is just an example. And depending on the game you may actually be doing heavy work in "just the scripting language" instead of the engine. XNA, MonoGame, Love2D, etc. are all frameworks rather than game engines so they'

I disagree with your assertion that games running in a browser are not performant enough. WebAssembly being ~45% slower than native sounds scary, sure, but that's basically what you can expect from using any non-native language anyway.

But why not just render everything 3D? GPUs are more than good enough and it will look more consistent.

Pretty sure it's just the default Emscripten page. It is bad and most demos don't bother changing it.

You have to sell it for the same price, but yes. Most games on the Humble Store give you Steam keys, where Humble takes 25% and Steam gets nothing.
