the best game ever

Citation needed!

I have a Raspberry Pi 400 as a development platform, and it’s amazing how capable is it at how little it cost and consumes. If only more manufacturers jumped onto the ARM computer bandwagon…

That being said, if you don’t mind paying the premium for what is essentially a luxury PC made to look nice in the hands of corporate suits hands, then go for it. If you just want ARM at home, SBCs and other things are pretty viable now.

Since I’m using D for most of my coding projects, Copilot is mostly useless. I can do boilerplate stuff with metaprograming way easier and at a way more consistent pace, not to mention it’s easier to modify. And at least ChatGPT, does not know what to do with D attributes, and just randomly puts them everywhere for functions, since it’s way less of an AI than how tech people try to sell it (statistical probability based on Markov chains and some small context windows rather than actually understanding what it does).

How to write an article that appears balanced, but is secretly one-sided…

Walter Bright had a lot of back and forth over the Digital Mars C compiler and Symantec.

That solution is janky and slow as hell. I’d rather just embed it into my own software, which is mostly done, except it doesn’t find functions as functions, but as nil value.

D.

It has C ABI compatibility, so it should work. But as others wrote, I might have messed up my Lua script.

No, I’m developing my own engine.

Is there any GUI for either GDB or LLDB? Most cases, I don’t think “writing macros to do complicated things” is a path walkable for me, especially as I mostly want to do simple things.

A simple downgrade solved the issue, but regardless of that I’ll try to look into some alternatives, especially since VS has licensing issues, which is fine for me as I use it for open source projects, but might not be fine for others who would use it for closed source projects, and I made my open source engine in a way it allows for be used in closed source projects.

I’m a D developer, and D is so far the best language I’ve tried. It has very powerful meta programming capabilities, looks much nicer than Rust, and supports multiple paradigms. My main gripe is the lack of libraries, but it’s pretty easy to either write your own, or a binding to a C or C++ one. I wrote a couple of my own libraries, and I’m currently writing my own replacement for SDL, called iota, and I aim it to be a smaller version of it (e.g. not including things into it that already exist in the Runtime and Phobos).

I really like multi paradigm programming, as most programming paradigms are good at a select few things, while over-complicate others.

Depends on the game and the CRT. Not all CRTs were made equal, my old Eizo FlexScan had a near LCD like quality as long as you didn’t go above 800×600 (above that, the filtering kicked in with some additional blur), so is my professional HP monitor with a Trinitron tube (RIP).

Some games also took advantage of color artifacts. Some didn’t.

Tidal. Better audio quality and revenue share than Spotify, plus no Joe Rogan.

It’s useful in digital signal processing, but otherwise it just makes your code harder to read.

const int resultBranchless = aVal * switch + bVal * (1 - switch);
//vs
const int resultWithBranching = switch ? aVal : bVal;

Usually compilers will optimize the second one to a cmov or similar instruction, which is as close to fast branching as it can (except cfmov on older x86 CPUs), and is DSP compatible.

What about portable CRTs?
