It's not like windows game developers are universally incompetent. They have their source so they can reproduce their binaries at will. They understand the risks of malware and how embarrassing it would be to unwittingly ship some, s

A Walmart job is an exceedingly reliable paycheck for a clean job in a climate-controlled environment where the majority of the occupational risk is exposure to the public. I can't fault anyone for choosing that option if they can live

Rockstar owns the copyright, they can do whatever they want with their games. It is rather odd however, and paints Rockstar in a very negative light as a trustworthy purveyor of binary distributed software. Do you want to receive l33t ware

Not all porn is CSAM... Are we just assuming it's CSAM because non-CSAM would be on OnlyFans? Is there not an appeal for the anonymity and zero-cost Jitsi offered vs. OF-like services, for consenting adults? I've never used OF b

Also worth noting is Abrash's Black Book is pretty specialized for the x86 PCs of the 90s. It's not really all that applicable to game programming today, unless you're deliberately doing retro development for 486/pentiu

A fellow IRC lurker lives near Austin and we often compared outdoor temps this summer whenever he was complaining about the heat. Despite my being in the California hi- desert by JTNP, he was often hotter - with more humidity on top of it.

I'm just basing it on the quality of discourse I've observed in the twitch streams... there are several Jai Beta Q&A streams which particularly select for people in the beta. Surely there are some experienced people in the bet

I once drove back to SF from Castle Lake with a dead alternator by hanging an 85W portable solar panel over the rear window of my mx-5, connected to the battery in the trunk. It supplied enough juice to run the car with no accessories most

I've watched a bit of Jon's streams programming in jai, and can't say I've seen anything particularly compelling about the language so far. It's clearly not vaporware, you just have to get into the beta group to kic

It obviously exists, it's just in beta and you have to basically ask nicely to get into the beta group. You can see its syntax and real-life use on Jon's livestreams, he's been streaming development of a substantial Sudoku p

He's a shitty interviewer. Often doesn't even engage with his guest's responses, as if he's not even listening to what they're saying, instead moving mechanically to his next bullet-point. Which is completely ridi

Back in the mid-late 80s, despite my family never eating fast food, we'd occasionally go get Whoppers because they were so glorious. I think we stopped by the early 90s because they were already going downhill.

The streets of the greater Chicago area are full of frustrated drivers in a pointless pissing contest seemingly all on the fringe of a road-rage incident. It's like they're all fighting over scraps and the roads are the arena. I
