I've been using beancount [1] and fava [2] to organise my personal finances for a while now, my beancount file has about 3 years of transactions/financial data in it. I've automated a few things but it's still largely a

Some of my friend groups have moved to Signal, it's ok in a "good enough" sort of way but it's not a perfect replacement. I'll have a hard time persuading family groups to move though, WhatsApp and Facebook are cult

Really hope they pull this off. The initial target of the M1 Mini is probably the smart choice, I'd imagine all the power management stuff in the laptops might be a big task to reverse engineer

I'd be interested to know if Jess Frazelle, linked in the post still maintains her Dockerize-everything setup. I remember a few years ago her write-up on that stuff. Would be good to hear her thoughts a few years on

Growing up I remember playing a lot of AoE and AoE2 with my school friends online, over dialup connections. I was never into any competitive scene, we were all probably very bad at the game but it was fun. The enjoyment came from the buildi

Thanks, I didn't go into this expecting it to be new, or a production ready thing, I did it because it was dumb and I learned a few things along the way

Author here, hello. The post glosses over some aspects of the implementation, for example to fit some executables into an image you can optionally compress the data with gzip and encode that instead It also supports encoding at two-bit and

True, although I think the contract was broken quite a while ago, some games on the base PS4 are crippled - for example Control by Remedy games drops to single digit FPS in some sections

The big weight around their neck was releasing it on the last gen consoles. I suspect it wasn't that high on their priorities to optimise it on 7+ year old hardware. It's a tough one, maybe they could have bit the bullet early and

I've been using Emacs for about 3 months now and enjoying it. I'm only just scratching the surface though and not really dived too deep, I find it quite overwhelming tbh, it feels like the text editing part is really just the tip

One of my favourite twitter account [1] seems to surface the worst of LinkedIn, the braggards and the false stories etc. Highly entertaining. I deleted mine a few years ago, my most recent job did not seem to mind. My CV is hosted on my web

I'm really not holding out much hope that Linux will natively run on these M1s, even if we get it to boot there's all the driver issues for the integrated GPU, audio, wifi etc. I'd imagine there is a lot of power management s

I've been running Linux on my MBP (2015) for about 6 months now and it's been amazing. Great hardware + Fedora, not had any issues. It's really sad that >= 2016 models have problems getting Linux running properly (wifi, au

Cool! Not sure if this approach would work for CPUs with bigger instruction sets/more complex instructions, e.g. the Gameboy CPU "DAA" instruction [1] is notorious for being tricky to implement when writing a GB emulator I gu

This is cool! You've got the building blocks for the rest of the machine now :) I did a similar thing last year after reading this book, it turned out to be a really fun and rewarding exercise! https://djharper.dev/post

I'm running Linux on a 2015 MBP and it works great. However good luck getting decent Linux hardware support for any Mac >= 2016 and there is very little (probably zero...) chance of anything other than OSX running on an M1

I used to work for Sony Computer Entertainment at the EU HQ in London, there were a few games studios there, all located around the same street just off Oxford Circus, along with a big R&D office. I think the London Studio is still ther

Team17 also have a publishing arm in Nottingham, although their HQ is in Wakefield I believe. Sumo Digital as well although not sure if they make games in Notts - looks like they have a few locations around the UK

Games take years to develop and come with a lot of risks I suspect overheads of London office space isn't very attractive. Also I'd imagine game dev is quite insular, it's not B2B other than dealing with publishers, so no nee

Really enjoyed reading this post thanks. It makes me laugh that such a small problem (pressing a yubikey at an awkward angle, which sometimes doesn't register properly) can be solved with such a delightful over engineered solution.
