Figured I’d try using Linux on my 4K monitor setup. OS X and Windows have been supporting fractional scaling for years. Surely Linux supports it by now! Nope. Ubuntu 20.04 crashes/does not work with anything other than 100%/200% scaling. Back to Windows.

I must admit, the CMake of today is nothing like the CMake of 10 years ago. Most of the pain points I’ve had are gone. The syntax still makes me want to scratch my eyes out; but hey, it works!

Be a few hours late to my morning coffee, spend the rest of the day with a splitting headache. I love how we have lowkey accepted and ritualized dependence on a substance with such nasty withdrawal symptoms 😃.

Annual reminder - if you're not writing tests for your graphics and systems, you are missing out a and introducing numerous subtle bugs. Sadly people typically do tests wrong (terrible flaky image golden tests). How to do it well? Test functionality: bartwronski.com/2019/08/14/how…

There are only two industries where time estimates are impossible to make, and are off by at least a factor of 3: software engineering and Hello Fresh recipes.

I haven’t played Dwarf Fortress much, but I’m really happy to see it be a huge success on Steam. It’s nice to see the gamedev equivalent of a starving artist toiling away for 15 years getting rewarded in the end - even if it’s the rare statistical anomaly 🥹.

Playing GTA5 for the first time; I gotta say, I’m sick and tired of the media’s glorification and misrepresentation of Los Angeles. Drivers in LA are way less nice than they are in the game.

I really wish there was an easy way to track shrinkflation. Companies can be super sneaky in how they cut package or portion sizes (e.g. cover redesign). It’s hard to punish those companies. I just happened to catch one company’s shenanigans using my calorie-tracking app.
