I would put it into these three categories: 1. Assembly coding within a REPL. Forth supports "load-and-store" without the additional bookkeeping steps of assembly. Once the program works, it can be incrementally…
What he calls "world construction" involves the development of a rubric custom to the problem. This creates a faster feedback loop inside of the larger, noisier one. Your feedback is now guided around the question of…
I've gone down roads similar to this. Long story short - the architecture solves for a lower priority class of problem, w/r to games, so it doesn't pay a great dividend, and you add a combination of boilerplate and…
Here's an example: Cash decentralizes credit. "Cash and carry" grocery outlets were a 20th century innovation. [0] Before that, the norm was to have a line of credit with the business, and in many cases, to accept their…
The kind of issue I see this thread getting at is what I call the "terrarium problem", which is, to make a whole software ecosystem like a language environment or API mechanisms bounded by a standard, one has to build a…
To me stoicism is helpful in the sense of the advice one gets in jujitsu: If taking one grip on something isn't getting you the leverage you want, don't grip it harder, let go and take a different grip. Stoicism can't…
I can see one avenue in which GPT-3 might be quite disruptive, and that is in reinventing our software development processes. For example, if it can be purposed into something that reliably converts source code between…
Networked games touch on a number of general challenges with distributed computation: 1 Logical clocks used for synchronization. The clocks aren't literally synchronized, but the events taking place across multiple…
Let's put it this way. Trans people are researching the topic of sex and gender through active self-experimentation. They are claiming empiricism, and their direct experience makes them credible experts. They have…
I say, go back to basics - literally. There are still many "games BASIC" languages around. Some are attached to or reproduce retrocomputing environments like QB64, FreeBASIC and BASIC8(plus a plethora of modern BASICs…
Personal work goes into a sync folder organized by year. References are organized by media type, then by general subject, then (usually) by author. I mark up filenames with tags so that I have some options for tracking…
I think I understand this one. I would restate it as "Powerful static type systems usually encode more constraints than you can easily reason about." And that's good(it catches your errors) and bad(you start to fight…
1. Do not set a goal that involves conquering the world, saving the world, or attaining personal glory. These goals have internal contradictions that will lead you away from doing good work. 2. Find a theme and follow…
These are classified as "libc things". When using mov you can still access libc like any other program. Go study movfuscator(which I linked again) if you would like a full understanding[0]. When you have to interface C…
While I know the technical reasons(I've been in the industry and worked on exactly these kinds of games), I also have a certain other thought on it after getting time and distance from the trenches, which is that, on…
I'm going with Lazarus. Why limit my options to terrible runtime vs terrible build time and corporate licensing?
