I've been working on Metropolis 1998[1] for +4 years now. Custom C++ engine built with a modified version of SFML 2.5 and SQLite. Creating my own engine was both a personal and strategic decision for me. I was really worried about runn

There's another great comment by daxfohl that I saved. The "complacency" at scale worries me [1] Copied to save you a click: > I worry about the "brain atrophy" part, as I've felt this too. And not just atro

Additionally, you can open up copilot.microsoft.com or w/e and ask it to summarize any reddit users (and presumably HN) posts. Not just the content, but their emotional state (without prompting). [0] Note: last I tried this was months

By the time I was in high school, we had laptop carts that were rolled out for a few classes (as in a handful of times per year). This was 2004+. We also had computer labs since elementary school. Iirc laptops were used when labs were booke

Unlike baking bread, It can take decades for an artist to become experienced enough to create something of value. Some art, like classical music composition, is and has been propped up by grants and wealthy donors since forever. Whether th

Reading the comments made me want to check the Steam Hardware Survey [0]. Some quick facts (Dec 2025 -> Jan 2026): - Windows 10 gained more users than Windows 11 :D - Linux lost users :( [0] https://store.steampowered.com&#x2F

Neat. I cant comment on your work (unfamiliar territory). But, I looked at all the images and there is a consistent loss of red/yellow and gain of blue/green in the 0.5bpp versions. It's subtle, but noticeable on my mid-grade

Hehe, you created quite the dog pile. Here's my woof: IMO you only need to look at the 30+ year history of Linux to see how wrong this prediction is. There will be a small group of people who do as you say, but the other 95% will happi

Agreed. Microsoft tried this with Mixer (twitch competitor) and shut it down a year later. They paid top streamers handsomely to be exclusive

They’re targeting game developers too. Source: me, a game dev Started two weeks ago. Someone claimed people were pretending to trade coins related to my game. (Huh?) Week later I was told I could make thousands of dollars. Today it was life

Agreed! LLMs are a force multiplier for real products too. They're going to augment people who are willing to do the real work. But, Im also wondering if LLMs are going to create a new generation of software dev "brain rot" (

I've noticed a huge drop in negative comments on HN when discussing LLMs in the last 1-2 months. All the LLM coded projects I've seen shared so far[1] have been tech toys though. I've watched things pop up on my twitter feed

Not mine, but the reason I find this interesting is how long it took to reach that point. 4 months! Each LLM improvement pushes this further and further out. Depending on the complexity of the project, there'll be a point where 4 mont

This year I've been diving into Game dev books and Harry Potter fan fiction. There's a lot of great reads out there. I assume having an entire world built for you removes a lot of the heavy lifting (as a writer). GameDev: - The Ma

Every time I think about EVs, I become filled with dread thinking about what will happen if an area loses power for an extended period of time. I used to live in an area that had transformers blow from rain showers. At least you could hook

Over time, do you think this process could lock you into an inflexible state? I'm reminded of the trade off between automation and manual work. Automation crystalizes process, and thus the system as a whole loses it's ability to a

So happy I bought this game on GOG before they replaced it with the revamped version (modern looking art, etc). I played through the orc campaign last year and had fun. It's definitely aged, but it makes me wonder if something like tha

Thanks for putting this together. Shaders are something I wish I had the time to dive deep into, but since I'm making a game, my time is very limited for the time being. i.e. I only learn what I need to. Only critique is.. if you'

Same. I go one step further and create a macro _STOP which is defined as w/e your language's DebugBreak() is. And if it's really important, _CRASH (this coerces me to fix the issue immediately)

Im a encryption noob. Less than a noob. But something I've been wondering about is how can homomorphic computing be opaque/unencryptable? If you are able to monitor what happens to encrypted data being processed by an LLM, could y
