   Last I checked, reddits redpill was almost 2 million subscribers big. That is to say, sleeping with as many women as possible while not marrying, or possibly having kids while not marrying and not cohabitating, is subreddit I last checked o

   Unixporn is often too flashy for my tastes. Something like DWM with a CPU and RAM meter up top is often enough. Why we gotta mix compositors with 3D file system explorers and animated desktops is beyond my needs, but I'm atleast guilty

   That's right, Proton is amazing. I've been playing classics like Rome Total War on my Linux setup

   I mean, Fornite pulling China into this has got to backfire though, right? China is a huge profit center, and apple plays China's game because, well, money. It's like ratting out your older brother and getting beat up in the backy

   -flto is great if your project is less than 15,0000 lines. Otherwise, -Ofast in conjunction with -flto creates a single threaded link time step that's longer than half a minute, and it only goes up from there

   I see your point with opaque pointers though. They are great for code obfuscation when shipping libraries, and totally do require a header / source file split making unity builds not an option. It always amazes me how C can reach the h

    True, but I typically build with link time optimizations (-flto) since I do a lot of software rendering, and this really hurts incremental builds too. I'll checkout your link, but as for polymorphism I've had good luck with doubly

    Fortunatley I've never surpassed 15,000 lines on a personal project!

    I recently discovered unity builds, only applied to C, and I love the quick build times. 10,000 lines of code, included directly into main from other .c files, compiles in 1 second on my machine with -01 optimizations

    True that, MPV is solid. Paperview gives me ~3% cpu usage and ~9% GPU usage on an old x230, while MPV gives me 40% cpu usage for a similar mp4. MPV works great on desktops with mp4s, while paperview is great for laptops and battery life if

    I believe BMP loading is included into the core SDL2 library, but not other formats, which SDL_image remedies. Here is SDL_Surface.h. SDL_LoadBMP is just a macro using SDL_RWFromFile. https://github.com/SDL-mirror/SDL&#

    I run a T43 for doing serious single threaded programming. Not that anyone would want to, but its surprisingly productive for pumping out clean work. I mean, its SO slow that firefox can't even open reddit or facebook without having a

    So the animated wallpaper scene on linux is pretty bizarre. There are some popular methods out there like calling `feh --fill-bg` continuously in a bash loop but it sends your CPU usage to an astronomical 40% which drains the laptop battery

    I guess, but those tools alone build powerful fast software, and those programmers are solving problems which translate well to any field requiring problem solving. The software world may change rapidly, but a React / Git stack is no d

    I once spent 3 years on a C project and I realized it's strength is that it does not change. I didn't feel the need to rewrite it with latest features like one might with C++

    I've always wondered if we could leverage the vast amount of GitHub code - that assumably all compiles without error or undefined behaviour on their master branches - train some sort of neural net to better catch syntax errors. Has any

    Yup, this article is an oldie, but also a goodie, and I like seeing it reposted because it shows a terrific programmer speaking about their work with great passion, and it reminds me how to carefully answer questions without a condenscendin
