Lol that's like complaining that the volume was so low that you had to strain to hear Music for Airports.
Lol that's like complaining that the volume was so low that you had to strain to hear Music for Airports.
Did a phone interview today for a gaming-history-related book. Hopefully they can extract an interesting paragraph or 3 out of my 120mph stream of random stories about back in the day. The subject of self-modifying code came up. me: Back then we just called that "code".
Sigh...Number one programming rule - the bug is always in the test code.
I was worried my monitor was dying... uneven brightness depending on where a test window was. Turns out it shipped with local dimming set to maxed out. Manufacturers, don't do this! I know someone who returned the same monitor thinking it had unacceptable brightness uniformity.
Most ill-advised employee perk ever: Since it was a flight simulator company, SubLOGIC offered free flight lessons to employees who wanted to get their license. There were two programmers who almost had insane certain death accidents and that's just the ones I know about.
If I was writing c++ only for myself, not peers or the public or anyone paying me to write it, I absolutely would #define func auto and use the alternate function syntax everywhere. func Test( int x ) -> int
Severely obsolete non-asm languages you've written non-trivial programs in? me: Tutor Bliss SAIL Teco DCL I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. I didn't have a computer for much of the time I was starting so I'd use any OS/language combo I could find a way to access.
Since people were curious, I put this up. Simple standalone code that will give you the ability to use/test your c++ functions inside of an interactive web notebook w/ no effort. github.com/aachrisg/julia…
The first time my old old company Leaping Lizard got a little extra $ without needing to worry about next week's payroll, the co-founder and me splurged big time and bought ourselves super high end monitors. Viewsonic 21" crts. ~$2k in 90's dollars but they could do 1280x1k!!!
tr*mp can't even execute a simple pump and dump scheme right despite having access to a near infinite number of really gullible marks.
Here's my entry: char grade( int score ) { int nIdx = floor(((score - -2.0) * 0.045283969041293934) - (cos(cos(score * 0.03114100715856666) * 1.5790931375763757) * 1.98522506643194)); return "FDCBA"[nIdx]; } godbolt.org/z/77sfs1f8q

@ChrisGr93091552 @TylerGlaiel from that era there's The Matrix, which came out 2 years earlier
@ChrisGr93091552 I'd love to hear some tales, or Easter Eggs, about Ultima Underworld. What a groundbreaking game that was. I remember jumping around and you would literally bounce off the walls. Made the game world feel so real. Fully 3D, too. And that was a year and a half before Doom 1!
@ChrisGr93091552 @GustavSterbrant They want Win Arm to emulate the same just like Rosetta. And it only has the 16x 128-bit registers.
I almost cant believe someone could possibly miss the point of 4'33" so bad except at the last minute of consideration i realise yes I can believe it
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
In the early days of Steam, Valve employees could get a special key for their accounts that unlocked access to all games on the platform. And not just all Valve games, _all_ games.
Every other musician on Twitter has already dunked on this but I am two whole degrees more qualified than John McWhorter to speak about John Cage and 4'33", so I will take the opportunity to say this is the dumbest shit I have ever seen and fundamentally misunderstands the piece
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of John Cage and 4’3”. John Cage believed that silence didn’t exist. That was the point.
@georgejrjrjr (me) going to a ton of shows as a youth == can’t hear shit now.
Ok if a GPT-4 wrapper with a debunked fake demo has a 2Bio$ valuation, then we deserve an AI winter.
Cognition Labs (creator of Devin) is now valued at a $2B The startup is 6 months old and has no revenue AI agents are so back
when i was like 14 I put the exe of my first game on download.ru and a good few hundred people played that shit. it was intoxicating. and all it took was a trip to the Internet cafe with a floppy. no developer accounts, no app review.
As a kid, the magic of software was that I could sit down and make something with no license, degree, or ~money. Gotta say, publishing an iOS app from scratch today is a verrry diff vibe. I wonder how many young people's ideas we've lost at "and now register for a DUNs number."
i used to not understand why some people get so excited about REPLs but i run my code a lot while i’m working on it so tbh i’m already 99% of the way there
@ChrisGr93091552 Don't forget to mark that off the programming bingo card... who knows, you might win a prize :P
Just saw a demo - HE DID IT! He actually got a Rust-style borrow checker embedded in a C++ compiler. I might have to reconsider going back to C++ now...
I had an ambitious goal at the start of last year--demonstrate fearless concurrency in C++. Now it's working. This is one of the coolest things in language design. No data races to shared state--statically guaranteed. shared_ptr<mutex<T>> in C++ is Arc<Mutex<T>> in Rust.
@ChrisGr93091552 Fun side anecdote in the other direction: sometimes being too cautious with settings can backfire too. When Quest Pro first came out, I implemented local dimming in 1hr. But could BARELY tell it was even on. Later Meta obv made LD alg more aggressive. But I'd already refunded it.
Huge news for anyone working in tech in the US. Noncompetes are now banned: not just in California (like before), but nationwide. Very, very relevant for anyone at Amazon (which is the Big Tech that has enforced noncompetes even for low-level engineering positions).
@florianederer @matthewstoller Does this pre-empt State laws?
@ChrisGr93091552 When I was hunting for a 4K coding monitor five years ago, I deliberately picked one without local dimming (not just cause it was cheaper), with as good contrast VA panel as I could possibly find (for dark mode. better contrast actually improves text legibility + comprehension).
Time to see if Boston can be more annoying than SF
“New noncompetes banned for all workers as of effective date.” The FTC just issued a complete ban on all employee non-competes. No carveouts, no limitations, no exceptions. Wow!
