爆弾いもむし探索パズルアクション「Öoo」リリースしました🎉 発見とひらめきがギュッと詰まった冒険を、どうぞお楽しみください！

Today, Linus Torvalds told a Google engineer that his code (updating RISC-V support in the Linux kernel) is “garbage” which “makes the world actively a worse place to live”. Adding that the Google engineer’s code needs to “get bent”. As you might have guessed, Torvalds has

I got a bit colorful in this reply, but let me describe why this drives me so crazy, especially now in 2025: Now someone comes along to make their web app, and they are using React or something. So now we have *at minimum* 4 layers of wrapping: React -> browser API -> SDL -> OS

For a C newbie: Learn the C approach to programming before tricks. The bitwise "make a compiler" series is great for that. The talk "Modern C and What We Can Learn From It" is a good general overview of what makes C nice to write these days. However the best way to improve is

C --> Amazing, one of the best languages in history, yet stuck with the old language design (macros and other syntax quirks). Has compiler for every platform yet lacks SIMD abstraction. C++ --> Tried to be C with classes but failed. Now you won't be able to even compile it

Existing search tools on Windows suck. Even with an SSD, it’s painfully slow. So I built a prototype of Nowgrep. It bypasses most of the slow Windows nonsense, and just parses the raw NTFS. On an SSD, this ends up faster than ripgrep, even on a cached run (Nowgrep bypasses

I still don't know what this game is called. What if we name it #screenshotsaturday? Is that a good name?

Every single email that says "here is my github so you can see what I do":

Jesse, are you OpenGL or DirectX?

“What’s this?” “Your program, sir.” “No that can’t be right, I haven’t run the installer and updater, or signed into my account.” “You just put the executable wherever you want and run it whenever you like.”

I suspect when Jonathan Blow's language comes out, fully instrumentable / extendable compilers will just be seen as a Good Idea, and eventually we'll think of the current "compile time" approaches in various languages as painfully antiquated (not to mention build systems)

Silent Hill f suffers from consistent UE5 Shader Compilation stutters on PC regardless of your build I am so tired and sick of games coming out with such obvious issues like this, Why didn't we have these shader issues just a few years ago? Huge L🤦‍♂️

By baking data directly into a texture, through different channels, you can drive position, scale, and rotation of other elements, unlocking flexible, procedural control for unique effects with optimized performance #UnrealEngine #GameDev #VFX #RealtimeVFX

Forrest Smith I made an entire programming language so I would never have to deal with that stupidity again.

no i just actually like programming

So, reminder: the quality of code output by these systems is *very low* and the AIs themselves don't understand the output. This is obvious to anyone who knows how to program. There are still use cases, for example, to output a large volume of low-quality code that is not
