I've recently got into a medieval tavern / bard music. It's quite nice to work with it playing in the background. I saw a youtuber making a game on live stream and he had it playing in the background and it caught my attentio

Don't read. Do. That's how you become better. If you get stuck, research the specific problem and move on. For example, I have just recently ventured into desktop programs. I am currently making a text editor/IDE. Right now,

Why bother? Just use Odin https://odin-lang.org or Go https://go.dev/ if you want GC.

My daily driver is JetBrains. I never liked VS Code, or rather VS Codium. I use it as text editor and only when i want to open a directory i do not care about(ie. some old or foreign code) or really need syntax highlighting. I had high hope

Haha, good catch. I do not think that typing should fall under ageing though. And that period which I mentioned was in my early 20s, maybe even late teens. So it's not like it got worse when I hit 50(which is still far far away). I att

I remember that i did not used to make typos but since a particular period that i vaguely rememebr i have noticed that i make more and more of them. It was some kind of switch, not a long period that the transition took place in. I could no

I am surprised engineers have not been leaking information like this more. Like waaay waaay more. Especially youtube, due to its reach and history of adpocalypse 1.0, 2.0 and others. Google as whole and the big daddy - Facebook, who has bee

I never switched away. I still have my music that I collected since elementary school. Many songs would be impossible to find nowadays. There is no reason to go strictly one way. The good news is that you can start building your collection

He said that for some period, the compiler will not be open source, the language will. Whether the compiler will become OS or not, I am not sure. But I think he just wants to get the spec done beforehand. I think he mentioned that the compi

I do not, but John's old videos on the idea of making a language and addressing the modern problems of archaic languages has been cited many times. Here is a list with his videos where he goes from conception to something tangible: ht

I think Odin should market itself for aforementioned games and graphics. Otherwise it will become very niche language. Even now, I think there is only about 5k Odin repositories on github while it is essentially a complete language. Contras

I've been actively toying with Odin in past few days. As a Gopher, the syntax is partially familiar. But as it is a lower level language wiht manual-ish memory management, simple things require much more code to write and a ton of type

If you want to make money with digital services, you have to make them for businesses, not end users. End users are used to not pay, and they never will, which means you either monetize with ads or by selling user data. There is no third op

No, people would not. People pay only for something that gives them value and there is no free or cheap alternative. Especially in the digital world where intangible products/services have no value in the eyes of the customers - at all
