I have a large rectangular handheld magnifying glass. I 'think' it was designed for map reading. I only really use it for inspecting electronics though. I can get by with reading glasses when reading a book as long as the light co

I'm much more comfortable with a magnifying glass tbh. For most books I need my glasses and a good quality reading light though.

Personally I do like these marks. But I buy books to read, not as an investment. I recently bought a book on "How to survive being gassed" published in 1934. It had a typed A4 sheet of paper in it with a poem about how to identify

Access to competant Rust developers can be a challenge even for large companies. I recently finished a contract at a (very large game dev) company where some tools were written in Rust. The tools were a re-write of python scripts and added

My constant battle in the last 15 years (of 30 years of development) has been the unending torrent of completely unneccesary complexity that teams inflict on themselves. I feel it's often just to pad their CVs or because the current *p

The videogames industry is completely paralyzed by fear of conflict. It's in a transition between the old guard who never had any training and revel in conflict (sometimes, but rarely, too toxic levels) and the new starters some of who

Any idea how it deals with binary files and locking of files? I can't find anything in the docs about it. I'm a gamedev and currently Perforce and Subversion are the best in this space (because of robust Binary and locking support

The developer of this, TakiUdon, is working on portable devices as well. They have teased some lovely images on their twitter page https://x.com/TakiUdon_ .

To be honest even if there is no link that's not a bad rule to follow.

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, for ever." Orwell didn't say it was a right or left boot. To the victim it matters not.

It's because this is a marketing piece. It's not a lie but there is a gloss of PR.

This is extremely useful and the idea of using some video RAM for the stack is genius and I'm annoyed that I didn't think of it.

Game dev here: * it's got a license that allows it to be embedded * it's well known amongst game devs * its deals very well with all the mind-numbingly uninteresting network issues game devs don't care about It's mostly

When I was a child I often explored problems using BASIC. It was a really powerful way for me to creatively learn. I tend to think in pictures and find maths hard to truly understand. Coding allows me to create pictures and relationships in

This is seriously cool but I really think we are losing our way in game development. We used to create DSLs to make scripting of games simpler and less error prone... so that coders/designers could write Scripts/AI in a language b

It's nice to see all that effort by the many being monetized by the few so that the many can be off loaded making more money for the few. Well played, well played. Strange game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOoXwxqeV

I have no idea (nor do I care) if this is serious or even real BUT the fact it will be turned into personal attacks on Poettering is just another reason why the entire Linux eco system stinks. If this is real then great, it can be patched n

I've used/deployed FreeBSD for over 20 years and I have to admit I dread connecting to a GNU/Linux box. It's just such a mess of a system with so many variations in inconsistencies. Even connecting to a Windows server ma

I just don't understand the controversy around this book (although I know nothing of the movement people often speak about). For me the book gave me great insight in to becoming a man. Something I and most men do by accident and not by

I agree, it saddens me that they feel they can't (or maybe shouldn't) write about men because you are not one. As a man I can only learn more from the different perspective they would bring. If only one perspective is offered we a
