Missing “;” on line 148.

Lets say you use a variable named abcd in your function. And a variable named abcb in a for loop inside the same function. But because reasons you mistakenly use abcd inside that loop and modify the wrong variable, so that your code sometimes doesnt work properly.

It’s to prevent mistakes like that.

A similar thing is to use const when the variable is not modified.

Contrary to popular opinion, i’m gonna guess graphics driver. Specifically the shader compiler.

You can get lower latency with vulkan then with opengl. I remember some emulators (gamecube?) talk about why they implemented vulkan.

I actually kinda like that one.

Raylib.

More then SNW, by a good margin.

It’s very useful in zig’s comptime.

0-127, top bit is always 0.

Maybe that’s why i like voyager. Professionals trown into a hard situation. Although the maki were basically star fleet by episode 3.

More like tolerated. I don’t remember which episode, sry.

I’d like all files to have a big comment on top that says wtf this is, why is it, and roughly how it works. Bonus for ascii art.

GNU/Borg

Half of programming is writing code, the other half is thinking about the problem. As i learn more about programming i feel that it is even more about solving problems.

Data oriented design is the new thing, much different from that.

OOP, other then smalltalk and maybe few other languages, is somewhat different in practice from the original idea. I can dig up a great talk from Alan Kay on OOP if you want. Actually i want to watch it again so i’l edit it in here when i find it.

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhOHn9TClXY Great talk, as far as i remember.

That said, we often have to process seemingly unrelated data together which is slow with the model of passing data arround (even when by reference). When OOP was invented memory access was as fast as actual operations on it, while today memory is much slower then processing. With caches and simd and such, it is much faster if everything is an array. Peronally i’m not a fan of OOP because of the “everything has to be an object” mentality, but do whatever you like.

Because programmers find a good way to do something then apply it to everything. It becomes the one true way, a dogma, a rule. Like how OOP was the best thing ever for everything, and just now 30 years later is proven to be actually bad. At least appimage is more like DOS-s “just unzip and run it” then “download another 500MB of useless stuff because the program depends on 1 20kB file in it”.

That said, well made libraries are good. As in those that have a stable API so versions don’t matter that much.

Yea, if even 1% of their fan base were to send them a message ot would be spam for days. Even if they weren’t doing anything else it would be too much.

Still wish him all the best.

Imma go ask Steve if he wants to be my friend.
