The reason fancy abstraction and all these advanced language features are so popular, are so talked about and consequently develop this aura of being so important due to all the social attention they garner. It's because it is easier to fiddle with language features than it is to.

What the world could have been if plan 9 carried on with its original trajectory and vision. It's such a tragedy. Everything as a file was the correct design. Which I know gets some confusion, but I think that's because people can't stop thinking of a file as an actual file. As.

I finally sat down and spent a good amount of time with Acme in Plan9. before I thought it was just a text editor but now I understand they completely reinvented the terminal workflow to be something beyond what I ever dreamt up on my own. I'm pretty danm impressed.

It's cool that C can be extremely portable and compile and run on everything. but non-portable C where you use C23 with any and all the GCC and Clang extensions you desire is pretty sweet in its own right too. For a lib that's supposed to be highly portable to any and.

One of the subjects that is always divisive in the context of a spatial OS os spatial browser that I am adamant about is the notion that it needs to be a multi-process and multi-render-context paradigm. Most, by a significant margin, think in terms of taking a game engine, or.

VRChat will always be one of the most significant advents in early VR. Most people in the industry I don't believe still fully understand all that it stumbled upon and catalyzed. But I have to say I really feel I've reached the end of what new doors and novelty it can offer me.

I feel this is one of the worst mistakes of C++. Being able to put a short array of anything on the stack with basic array syntax can be so nice and elegant. Particularly in graphics or khronos apis. It's one of those things where they gave me a handful.

When it comes to C++ vs C. I have come to believe there are more cons to C++ than there are pros. Try to change my mind.

I feel raylib demonstrates something which is too easily forgotten these days. When it comes to usability and user-friendly the API is more important than anything else. A well-designed API in C can be easier to use than a worse designed API in even the most user-friendly.

Where is the terminal application that feeds all my commands to some AI to automatically tell me what I am supposed to do to fix the error?.

I still hold, the greatest barrier to VR, and really the next phase of computing, is that it requires a level of commitment to low-level programming, and releasing that under highly permissive licensing, that pretty much no established company can do, nor is willing to do. Most.

I would have thought this to be heresy 4 years ago. Perhaps even just 2 years ago. TBH pressure be putting this direction is part of the reason I quit Microsoft. BUT. Content needs to provide something for both VR and Desktop users simultaneously. Probably something for.

Anytime someone said something like "Just don't write bugs bro" I figured they were just trolling. But I'm starting to suspect those who say that really do believe that producing a bug free program in C does require you to simply not write bugs and that is all you have at your.

You notice how as PayPal has gradually turned into a crypto wallet and a crypto exchange there hasn't been a peep from the supposed 'anti-crypto' or 'anti-blockchain' crowd about needing to steer clear of paypal or boycott paypal?. That's because no one was ever really.

Thinking about shortcuts it occurred to me Macs have a whole additional modifier key to use in application operations. Becaseu the Win/Super key takes up an entire key only to launch the OS search functionality. Which I'm starting to think is kind of bad design for Windows and.

It's got what programs crave. Safetolytes.

So what exactly was wrong with CGI and Fast CGI?. I don't typically do backend work. Extent of my experience was some java, some node.js, and also AWS lambdas. So my knowledge isn't very comprehensive. But I've been digging more into OpenBSD and using httpd and I really just.

I am working on a text editor because no existing editor is exactly what I want. I do believe there is some room in this space. The closest ones I can't turn into exactly what I want for various reasons. So I am going to start posting some polls with questions about habits in.
