CAD/CAM/Automotive, AAA gamedev for 10+y (ex-Crytek and others) CNCing old turret lathes. Writing a game in C. Father, Catholic, Swordsman/stunt. DMs are open.

Joined February 2013
Profiling & Optimization Expectation: -clever algorithms -SoA -hand-written SIMD Reality: -rewriting totally retarded stuff that makes no sense and either quadratic or exponential -removing unneccessary abstraction and polymorphism -adding reserve() / resize() -removing Log()

Pursuit of power, aka raising the boost pressure will actually cure your depression, until the pistons say goodbye on the side of the block 🤣
The primary cause of depression in men is the pursuit of comfort. The primary cause of depression in women is the pursuit of independence. The cure for men is the pursuit of power. the cure for women is the pursuit of community.

“I just knocked you the fuck out to prove that you need to work on your standup defense game, nothing personal. Sorry, I could not help you improving it, I only know how to hit ppl. Yes, I technically used a baseball bat, but I will still tell everyone that you were a pussy”
@simplex_fx Imagine if theft was legal to force businesses to install more surveillance and door locks. Or if assault was legal to force people to have more self defense. Or if plaguing food was legal to make sure people fully cook it. What are we doing?

Never use (security) critical open source sw written in C++. That language is simply too obscure so it’s super easy to put backdoors in it.

“Retarded shit” covers most common use cases of this concept.
It's surprising to me that there isn't really a ubiquitous term like "array" that we use to describe contiguous elements that are variable width. I know arrays end up being the vast majority use case, but still. We have agreed upon terminology for much more obscure things.

If you have a house, and could learn one thing, it should be MIG welding. Truly a game changer., with relatively low entry to high end with the cheap synergic pulse MIG welders.

TLDR: security researchers are scum of the earth.
Recently, there was a clash between the popular @FFmpeg project, a low-level multimedia library found everywhere… and Google. A Google AI agent found a bug in FFmpeg. FFmpeg is a far-ranging library, supporting niche multimedia files, often through reverse-engineering. It is

My super edgy comments and no-filter approach (IRL too) put me thru a lot of trouble during my life. But somehow, possibility of physical violence never came up. Be the guy ppl don’t want to fight.
Life advice: don't pick a fight with people who see mutually assured destruction as a viable option, if you are not one of them.

Shared ref lifetime shit for strings are retarded (for 99% of cases) You will simply not have enough strings to csre about their lifetime so you can just keep em alive and call it a day. For most stuff you can just have static buffers.
For today's deep-dive into the dark side of the C programming language, we will be exploiting C's gloriously unsafe memory model to implement an immutable string type which offers shared reference lifetime semantics while masquerading as a standard C string, retaining

Just follow your dreams. Maybe you ARE special. Ps: special could also mean retarded, so be careful 🤣
7 people dev team here, making AAA inspired singleplayer games since 10 years. Punching well above our weights. Money issues. Suffered a lot. Purely passion driven. If we had followed this advice 10 years ago when working from our bed rooms, we wouldnt be here.

How do you parse strings for prefix/postify/etc? One big loop or multiple small ones?

Simplicity and good small microhabits > micro optimizing What habits you have to make the code easier to optimize? Eg: I like to cache this->foo kind of stuff to local vars all the time. Really helps with debug builds (or even release sometimes) and it’s a simple easy habit
If you write simple code and performance oriented architecture, you have to spend significantly less time micro optimizing and hacking around performance bottlenecks. The sheer amount of hacks and micro optimizations eventually collapse your whole code base. That's the wrong way.

Just usual python things:
i genuinely think that once you use a language that lets you actually put stuff on the stack, it’s really hard to go back

learn the basics so well that you don’t really need frameworks to build things

Always make your leisure and hobbies look like work. Fun to make money with hobbies Your woman will think you work Also, it’s very important to build an L shaped garage that’s full of oily and dirty and dangerous stuff, so she doesn’t get near. And then put in a couch.
Women hate every minute you spend in leisure or hobbies. No exceptions. They will eventually snap and say so.

Be the guy they complain about.

Non-gamedev mind couldn’t comprehend the simplicity of global arrays going brr 🤣
@simplex_fx @kelton5020 How do you isolate state so you can test parts of the system without affecting others
