Small projects become bigger projects much faster than that! I’m not suggesting that anybody should think too far ahead when it comes to building mvps, but if it’s a choice between a typed language and a dynamic one like JavaScript, baking

I’m not fighting anything. You can’t prove that I need to walk more than two hours a day to stay healthy. You can’t prove that humans haven’t evolved, at all, over that period of 1 million years. Saying that we need a minimum of two hours w

I don’t believe that’s true. Lynch uses characters as abstractions — they represent a concept, which when you understand them add up to a ‘statement’: * Twin Peaks is an meta commentary about the lack of balance on the small screen (our des

Lynch has repeatedly hinted that there’s a correct interpretation to all of his works. He just wants you to have the joy of finding it yourself — which is why he refuses to explain any of it. Personally, as a massive David Lynch fan, I lov

Descent was brilliant, especially multiplayer, which we used to play every lunchtime at the games company I was working at the time. I just loved the full freedom of movement/any orientation ‘thing’. It had a really unique ‘vibe’ that

This makes no sense to me. In a generational GC gen-0 is more likely than not to be cached — and that’s where the ‘churn’ is. Outside of that, any longer lived allocations are by definition not easy to control cache-wise. Locality is one of

Not sure how your comment related to a new sewer? If you're suggesting that we need to stop the water somehow getting into the sewers in the first place, I think that's unlikely to happen by people putting out a few rain barrels.

Bit depth is only useful at reducing the noise floor, the lower the bit rate the higher the noise. That’s why producers (mixing many tracks in a session) want to use high bit rate stems, because they are summing the noise from n tracks. It’
