I bought Bandicam for precisely this. Use it every day when making a game to show progress, bugs and features. Just works and is simple. I've never managed to get OBS to be simple.

Possibly most of these arguments are arguments in opposition to Lua, the dominant scripting solution in video games, as opposed to pure positives for Pascal? In the 90s a spent many years programing in pascal in Think Pascal... not glamorou

Feels like saying "Casino's are the gentrification of wealth". Not disagreeing with you. It's just the modern web is a trap. A game you will lose, as your attention is abused, misdirected and monetized.

While it's certainly not to my taste if it exposes more people to philosophy and helps them on the path to a calmer existence... why should we care? If we can't expose philosophy to everyone.. then many are stuck with religion and

This is true for all tech. New, old, imaginary, visionary or snake oil. Someone will seek to make a buck from fear, optimism or ignorance. That's what ChatGPT tells me, my Co-Pilot in life. No more thinking for me... no-sir-eee.

I've written video game editors in Win32, MFC, wxWidgets, Fox Toolkit, Qt, Cocoa and Dear ImGUI. I will never use anything other than Dear ImGUI from now on. The explicitness, lack of state, speed of development and maintainability of

Cheaper for you but if you live anywhere near others the cost to the communities health is a lot more. London's air is often terrible thanks to wood burning and bloody fireworks! Why we allow this I will never know.

For a narrow definition of music yes. Music is more than the audio. It's the packaging, the media, the artwork, the liner notes etc. The changes to these over time are as important as the changes to the music IMHO. They speak to our cu

I imagined a world full of robots with personality as well. I never imagined that that personality would be working for it's real owner (Amazon, Google et al) and trying to control me. Until it's MY friend, I am not interested in

I sort of agree: As a C++ developer I have no idea what TypeScript or Dart really are... but it's Herb Sutter so I'll give him my time. He's surely earned that at the very least?

There is substantial evidence that the people in power in the Post Office Board dismissed the evidence from the sub post masters because they were, more often than not of Asian descent (Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani,...). So the Post Offic

I too have noticed this. I put it down to a generation that has grown up where their entire existence is recorded and critiqued 24x7. Discord offers them a sandbox to express themselves and if they need to, they can delete their account. Ef

FreeBSD: doas pkg install doublecmd-qt5 (there is a gtk variant as well doublecmd-gtk2-1.0.11_1) It's good but nothing touches Directory Opus for me.

I don't care about software licenses. I'm a contractor. I pay for software that makes me better at my job AND I trust the vendor will support ME. My time is valuable to me and my clients.
