Does the analysis change for you if you consider the difficulty of wrangling the important stuff for someone else in your family, should something untimely happen to you?

On mobile: are the rectangle glyphs as suffixes on the states on purpose or am I missing a font?

Browsers have discrepancies too of course. Here's an interesting Chromium bug I've been following: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=125253... and an associated WHATWG discussion

Some reasons to understand the textual representation, besides curiousity: You are embedding a WASM engine and want to better grok how the import or exporting works. You are writing a compiler that targets WASM.

Wonderful talk, now I finally understand what WASI is.

I know it's an appeal to authority, but if clang does it at high optimization levels then that's good enough for me to know it's faster. Division is really really slow in CPUs, as I understand it. Like, CPUs are just awful at

Thanks, that was a silly oversight. Your comment is appreciated, as it saved an instruction in my game engine's JIT compilation :) https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/0a78...

Trivially easy. Just try to beat a C compilers optimization for constant integer division. https://clang.godbolt.org/z/MrMxo678x

Ignore the name of a library, it's not just related to Chrome.

Is this done by intercepting the API calls made to the GPU, or by directly modifying the game binary instructions?

Oh that's exciting! Thanks for sharing. I might play a bit more when that is released. I just pulled up my OSRS Google doc "backlog" and it's a few pages of things tracking what I should do next. The game really scratche

> OSRS players have not been "stuck with low quality graphics". The appeal of that version of the game is as a whole. It was not just "the version without the one later change that wasn't liked". It was the versi

Not the same, but Jagex has embraced (probably because they really had no choice) the 3p client "RuneLite". There is an understanding between Jagex and that community that the client is blessed, but only if they steer clear of cer

by hoten 3y ago
For some context, the Jagex reboot "Old School Runescape" (OSRS) forked from a circa-2007 build of the game. It was apparently a stroke of luck that they still had the source code. Notably, the 2007 version was before huge changes

There's literally zero external capability given to WASM in the browser. It must call out to JavaScript to interact with Web APIs. There simply is nothing to hide.

Does "sprint" mean something other than "chunk of work, usually 2-4 weeks in duration"?

It seems any serious asteroid prevention program is going to require the learnings of "pointless" (as you might put it) scientific expeditions like putting an object into L2.

What are people's thoughts on using "_t" as a suffix for types in C/C++, as this source does? My understanding is that it is technically reserved for language defined types, but I haven't come across a reasonable al

Likely no, but a kid isn't going to be learning low level systems programming in highschool. Their entry point into the world is programming is going to be high-level, as that has less barrier to entry. My point is that kids in the 80s

by hoten 3y ago
The number of layers added to modern programming and computer systems has gone up significantly since the 80s. It's sensible to claim that a kid from the 80s had far less to learn to be effective in the world of the 80s, than a 20s kid

I usually roll my eyes when people declare that they don't use debuggers, but this laid out some very good reasons why stepping through your code to solve your bugs comes at an opportunity cost. Namely time, and the chance to fix the p

Local Overrides stores the files you chose to override in a folder of your choosing. Subsequent requests for that resource while devtools is open will replace the contents with your local copy. So the idea is store it in local Overrides, fi
