   Mark Russinovich (of Sysinternals fame), thinks Rust should be the non-GC language of choice moving forward. https://twitter.com/markrussinovich/status/15719951172335042...

   I’ll offer a perspective unrelated to pay: It’s a pain to start learning C++, and even after you do, older devs will roast the hell out of your code because your book/tutorials of choice forgot to mention a crucial (in their opinion) f

   I really like Nord. Another color scheme that caught my eye recently that I hadn't seen before is Everforest [1]. I find it similar to Nord in that it's pleasant without being too intrusive/distracting. Hoping it gains some t

   Seems like a really great idea, and the few times I used ffmpeg I could have really benefited from this. That being said, I almost exclusively prefer email signup over Google sign-in.

   I always enjoy reading about Zig advancements. I haven't developed anything substantial in Zig yet, but I'm very optimistic about the future of the language. If you're curious to see a large Zig codebase, two significant proj

   This makes me hopeful that users will switch to Binary Ninja. I picked up Binja a while ago (because it’s actually affordable for an individual) & haven’t felt any need to return to IDA. There’s also Rizin which seems pretty robust fr

   I switched on the new UI yesterday and really enjoy it, personally.

   On the very rare chance that I purchase a lottery ticket, it's almost always when the jackpot grows to an enormous sum that starts making headlines. I don't do this because of a cost-benefit analysis or anything like that. I don

   D wasn’t on my radar until recently, when I was curious if there were any languages with C++ interop out of the box. The two languages I stumbled on were Nim & D, although they understandably have some caveats. After spending some time

    Thanks for such a detailed response! At a glance it seems pretty interesting, and the performance is quite good too. I’ll have to toy with it for my next project.

    What’s special about Racket? What makes it stand out compared to Lisp/SBCL/Scheme? I recall a while back John Carmack tweeted about writing some project in Racket & it’s been vaguely on my radar lately.

    I love seeing these community projects to reverse and/or update classic games. Disassemblers (& decompilers to an extent) are becoming so good and accessible that these kinds of projects are becoming more common.

    Too late for what? C++ will continue to be used for decades.

    I would prefer if “the fine was so large we nearly went out of business overnight” to be the norm in these situations. The pricetag is so low that it might as well be encouragement to commit more crime in the future.

    This looks great. How have you decided on what languages to add? What other languages will you consider in the future?

    I don't mean to be rude, but 'Have kids' may be one of the single worst pieces of advice you could give someone who is "plagued with exhaustion and lack of motivation".

    Yes occasionally. I try to purchase most texts as PDFs to avoid the hassle of moving hundreds of lbs of books around, but will splurge on high quality physical texts. The only issue is that there’s a lot of really high quality work out ther

    In that case, you might be interested in this youtube playlist [1]. The uploader claims to be new to Rust and implements the entire book in it. I haven't watched it myself, but had it bookmarked at the recommendation of a friend. [1]

    Once you finish the main book, there's a few free bonus chapters provided [1] that help you implement soft area lights, bounding boxes (AABB in this case), and texture mapping. Beyond that, you might be interested in the "One Wee

    +1 for rustlings, which also inspired "ziglings" [1]. Both of these were great resources for quickly & easily learning the basics of their respective languages. [1] https://github.com/ratfactor/ziglings

    I typically write a raytracer while attempting to stick to a small set of "best-practices" for the language I'm trying to learn. I also use this exercise from time-to-time to test new language features (for example C++20 rang

    I’m hopeful that this will be a good thing for high-quality educational content. Udemy, as an alternative, is largely poor quality content scams that have fake reviews and outrageous prices (so that the seemingly constant “sales” encourage

    I disagree with their premise that Reels is "performative" while TikTok is "authentic". They could have cherry picked other sample posts to demonstrate the exact opposite. They're both equally performative & ina
