Sure, but the majority of the text computers have to parse has a syntax consisting of low codepoint ASCII characters (think XML tags vs. data). The fragments of text using a high codepoint language are usually only interesting at render ti

It really doesn't matter. A string is a binary blob until you need to parse it, or display it. If you need to parse a string and it's UTF-8, you can pretend it's an ASCII string because the control characters you need for p

The fact that you identify "that typical windows 95 style game" as being a thing implies that it is a style, whether or not you like the style. Building games that look like that today is just a specific kind of retro. The screen

Baba Is You and Downwell are a totally different kind of retro. They're trying to look like NES games. John's games are retro as well, but they channel the very different style of 90s Windows games, which had so many colors (256

That was a bit of a disappointing read. I was expecting some technical details but it was mostly just about how they managed the project.

The 4 MB JPEG would be downloaded, though, while the headers would be uploaded. Consumer internet has terrible upload speeds in general.

Very true, but once you're at the level of complexity where you're rendering a GUI are you really concerned about cache invalidation due to incorrect branch prediction iterating strings ? GUI rendering is very expensive for lots

Correct me if I'm wrong: UTF-16 can be faster if you're iterating through characters , but for parsing iterating through bytes is usually sufficient. It's fine to use something like plain old strchr to search for a { or a

Also in the UK, and I can't remember the last time I actually bought a phone outright. I resigned myself years ago to paying ~£40/mo for a contract and insurance. Every 2 years I get an upgrade to the latest iPhone.

Most users don't care about any of those things. - You can use the included adapter instead of a headphone jack. I do this every day to plug my phone into the car and it's no big deal. If I had a newer car stereo it'd be blu

Nothing strategic there. It would be bizarre and unprecedented to ban any e-cigarette flavour. There are thousands, and there’s nothing special about menthol.

It’s actually really annoying. I hardly ever drink sugary drinks, but sometimes on a long drive I’d get one specifically for the sugar content (sans caffeine and taurine). Now diet versions of everything seem to be default.

Exactly. And the eventloop that is available to a C++ application will differ completely depending on framework/platform. The only thing common to all platforms is that a thread is most likely to be the wrong way to do this.

Also present in North East English, which can be just as far removed from the Queen's English as the Scottish dialect. "Bairn" and "hus" definitely, and also "gan" (to go), "yam" (home, norwegian

I've seen this myself in Belgrade zoo, Serbia. Wolves running around in cages not much bigger than my budgie cage. It's not OK. However this shouldn't be used as a straw man to argue against what I said regarding budgies co

I wrote an initial answer to this which was basically "get a pair!" and then decided to start again. As a child, I had a lone female budgie. She was completely tame - almost "post-tame" to the point that she knew you wer

Prison analogies. You obviously have a strong opinion about this, which I respect - but I don’t have the time or energy to enter into a debate.

Interesting regarding the mirror test! There’s so much about these dinosaurs we don’t know yet. I’ve never clipped but I totally understand. I just cover them up and remove swings but driving with a spooked budgie isn’t fun. Fresh fruit an

No, they’d freak out. They would completely panic, get lost, and then get eaten by a cat or die of cold. I also feed wild birds. Everyone should. After having to bury a whole clutch of sparrow fledglings a few months ago after a cat got the

I’m really not. When I first got the most recent budgies I was working from home and the cage was open all day so they were free to roam. They quickly made it their home and seldom left because a) that was where the food was and b) as a pai

I always use massively oversized cages and keep them by the window, which probably helps.

Again, all budgie advice, but: Perches/twigs taken from live trees. I have hazel and apple in the garden so that’s what they usually get (and destroy) but check the wood is OK for budgies before giving it to them. All parrots love de
