Reminds me of Bjarne Stroustrup talking about how every time they add a new feature to the language, it's unfamiliar to anyone so everyone wants it to be REALLY LOUD AND OBVIOUS. "Stand back! I'm going to use a LAMBDA here!&

I might actually be more excited about Val as a C++ successor than I am about Herb Sutter's excellent CppFront... Admittedly, all I know about it is from the two presentations below. But, from what I can tell... Statically compiled. S

C++ deserves its rep for complexity. But, it comes from a promise to avoid a version upgrade debacle in the style of Python 3. C++ promises that you will forever be able to interleave new-style code right into the middle of ancient, battle-

FYI: https://docs.gl/es2/glShaderSource takes an array of strings and just internally appends them together. So, rather than trying to #include common code for all my shaders, I just pass a common_code_string and a sh

I'm not a Windows programmer to a significant degree. But, I did a tiny bit of digging and discovered at WinMain is just a function called by main() in Win32 executables. The implicit main() is pretty trivial and WinMain is largely un

The Saturn hardware was a mess because of last-minute additions welded on in response to their “Oh Crap!” moment of seeing what the PS1 could do. The Saturn was made to be the ultimate 2D games machine. It had incredibly powerful 2D sprite

With no qualifications at all, I occasionally fantasize about starting my own school. One of the rules of my imaginary school is that a full 33% of the time, K through 12, is to be spent on meta-cognition. Not simply “study habits”. Mindful

I can tell you that for 3rd party titles back in the PS2/N64 days, the HW engineers handed you a spec manual explaining such useful things as "Bit 7 at address 0x70002048 toggle RFTAG mode on the MDEC". This was great when I
