oh I wasn't aware of far2l - I'll have to try it! Thanks!!!

To this day I'm still using Far Manager (on Windows) and midnight commander (mc) on Linux/OSX

I learned yesterday about GoLang's assembler https://go.dev/doc/asm - after browsing how arrow is implemented for different languages (my experience is mainly C/C++) - https://github.com/apach

ah yes - thanks for the correction! It was the first .com indeed.

I hoped for defer (e.g. "RAII" of sorts), is there any way?

Completely unrelated, but I think "symbolics.com" was the absolutely first domain registered. Also thanks for the video :) :) :)

Prometheus? :)

I don't know the rationale, but I would assume exact preservation of data maybe the case. Does json (yaml/others) have well defined handling of ints/floats? Especially ints with more than 52bits set?

Oh righ! I messed it up, Pentiums were much earlier. Thanks for the correction!

Holy!!!! hahahaha - cheers!

I think that's what I was looking at, and read back then - it was only txt files :)

by malkia 3y ago
well I've now realized I've used the terms I now know, and looking at what I've read back then - it was roto zoomers (lol) and it looks like it was the "block" texture way instead of what's considered now the t

Awesome - I'll try it again!

Yup. Back in the day VTune was useful and good, then I haven't used it for more than 20 years. It might be still good, but knowing how much more complicated the current CPU architecture is, and how much I've lost touch with low-le

That's not true. There are several established and well supported libraries that actually work as expected. Then there are other, optimized versions of them. The elephant in the room is the missing common build system, so folks engage

by malkia 3y ago
Header only libraries are great, and these little gems floating around are super easy to use, until you hit an unsupported (by them) feature, or something that now you have to do (like for year you've been using it for reading, but now

Thanks!!! Yes it was MGS - the deal was with our studio to do the port from PSX -> PC and since Microsoft was the publisher, part of the deal was for Konami to port Age Of Empires (1? 2?) to PSX.

Now I remember - back then these texture mappers were called roto zoomers, Alex Champandard did excellent series here -> https://www.flipcode.com/archives/The_Art_of_Demomaking-Issu... - look for zip file with the s

I was actually trying to find it - there were lots of .txt files published back then - and there was one about texture mapping from 1992... 1994? - and it explained swizzling and why it was efficient with caches.

I worked on port of a Konami game from PSX to PC, that was 1999-2000 - the code (C) had lots of #ifdefs like where inline assembly was placed, and the original "C" code was kept. It seemed all done by one specific programmer, and

Content creation tools (Maya, Blender, in-house) are another good candidate. Any game level editor would much apreciate extra GPU memory :)

The two most indispensable programs for me are "midnight manager" for Linux/OSX and the like, and "Far Manager" on Windows (and mc there too under wsl2). I'm lost with Far Manager at work. I've stopped usi

Yes, I'm super excited about this ^^^, but I was speaking in more general manner - e.g. accessing any kind of UI for basic functionality without need to know the internals, or use their own testing system (like QTest, or what Omar post

Supporting screen readers - e.g. accessibility, apart from the obvious benefit to the users, gives you almost for free testing/automation abilities too

Yes that's true. To this day using bazel + IntelliJ and I can't jump into some header files from other @repos// (it could be that I'm on Windows, and this doesn't work there). Need to give it a try on Linux&#x2

I'm not sure if it's still true, but I believe back at Google the interop with C/C++ was even more integrated - if I'm not mistaken the "java" binary got recompiled from scratch (but thanks for caching, not muc

It's effective... Until you need sqlite, or lmdb, or something like this.

Seriously... No! Our first LCD TV (several years old by now) had this, and watching LOTR on it - was wtf is this - am I in a theater? We both sit with my wife and watched it, and we were secretly annoyed but dared not to say or complain abo
