   LLMs are about 0.5% Python. The hot path is all C/C++, or native code running on the GPU. Python is almost just a configuration language to connect it all together.

   I’ve been playing with this recently and it’s made game development fun for me again. The prospect of creating an account, signing a bunch of EULAs, installing an Electron ”version manager” so I can install a massive engine, hook it up to a

   The few times that happens to me I just hit “i” to enter insert mode and try again.

   If the hardest part of programming is reading, understanding, and debugging other people’s code, our jobs are about to get a lot harder with a bunch of AIs running around spitting out 90% accurate code.

   I think the article is saying that new construction of all kinds of homes, including luxury homes, is the answer. As opposed to the meager handful of affordable housing units cities fund now while making it as hard as possible to build anyt

   In my book, it’s way better to install one Vim extension in whatever your favorite IDE is, than to install Vim with a hodge podge of 5 extensions and 300 lines of Vimscript. The keybindings are really the unique selling point of Vim, and yo

   The biggest missing thing in my mind is threading support. Great performance isn’t very useful if it only runs on one core.

    There's no accounting for taste, but another reason why the Unreal advancements are a big deal is improved productivity for artists. The geometry in that Xbox One screenshot was painstakingly optimized by some poor overworked artist, w

    For the past 3 years I’ve worked in an almost 100% pair programming environment. It works wonders for a lot of problems, especially around “code ownership”. It’s much harder to get precious with your code, or point fingers at someone else’s

    I worked solo for three years on a 3D cyberpunk shooter all in a custom C++ engine. It was a hybrid single/multiplayer idea, where you would progress through the campaign and encounter other players at the same time. The twist was, in

    On the other hand, the answer to "when can I run a compiler or JIT runtime on iDevices" has historically been "never", and I wouldn't be surprised if that answer eventually applies to Mac devices too.
