Developer of Ark Vcs. a Version Control System for Games
Joined December 2011
Had the immense pleasure being interviewed by Łukasz for his @wookash_podcast, and it is finally out! It was great to be able to talk about version control systems, go into why decentralization is a mistake for 99% of developers, and also showcase a why Ark VCS is better! :-]
Here is crazy fun talk with @nafonsopt who was kind enough to not only chat with me, but made a demo of the ARK right there during our chat. Git works great for source code, but when you enter the world of projects frequently changing binary data, solutions that Git (LFS) or

The fact that steam makes so much money and still charges small indies 30% baffles me.
Valve, the makers of Steam, Half-Life and CounterStrike, made ~$17B in revenue this year with ~336 employees. That's >$50M per employee, the highest for any (non-crypto) company in the world. The average pay is ~$1.3M/person. One of the most efficient businesses of all time.

Microsoft @Windows: "We're preloading File Explorer so it launches faster." File Pilot: Compiles in less than 3 seconds. Launches instantly. Eats whole drive for breakfast. Speed isn't a background task, it's design. https://t.co/v4OY47UD4h
Microsoft admits File Explorer is slow in Windows 11, and it’s going to preload it in the background to help improve launch performance. “This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it,” Microsoft confirmed. If you

Isto é da máxima gravidade num ESTADO DE DIREITO DEMOCRÁTICO, porque derruba os seus próprios alicerces. Para mim, este grave problema de regime só se resolverá, quando definitivamente soubermos responder à magna questão: “Quem guarda os guardiões?” https://t.co/v5gafc9HNz #

Set aside some time this Thursday for a workshop on API design in C++ with @antovsky! I will throw a problem at him, and we're gonna whiteboard the *perfect* API for it. Smart pointers? Const references? Error codes, errors as values? Fifteen parameters? 4 classes each

I wrote a lengthy article detailing all the steps that went into creating the blender exporter that I showcased a while ago: https://t.co/azmHTeQn7n There is a special surprise at the end of the article :) Make sure to check that out!
I think I've written the world's fastest Blender exporter. It exports full levels in 9 milliseconds. Check out this video where I show live editing of levels from blender, and it updates instantly in the game. For some context: Okay, since the beginning of development on this

A nice picture showing how the European Parliament has no idea of what matters for Europeans.
Today, thanks to the S&D’s tireless efforts to bring pro-European forces together, the European Parliament approved the EU target of cutting emissions by 90% by 2040 — sending a strong signal to world leaders gathering at COP30. Europe once again demonstrates global leadership on

Just a month later and... 🇪🇺 ChatControl is back! Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes The new proposal: -
Freedom won today! 🚫 No ChatControl in EU Now keep this snooping on people's private messages off the 🇪🇺 EU's agenda forever please

🚨 EU states want to cement Chat Control as is. No fixes. No safeguards. Just unchecked scanning of private messages. This isn’t child protection, it’s systemic surveillance. We must defend encryption. We must reject backdoors. https://t.co/jvubxP8qlP

Remember you can choose to be happy and just not have to use git, no matter what text editor you're using.
