I ported Zelda Classic, a 20+ year old C++ Allegro program, to the web:

@DenaBryan12 @iseehowitizz @tenilleclarke1 What's happening? Isn't she recovering from an invasive surgery?

@dalmaer surely they don't really think playing the victim card and adopting a tone of "we didn't get ours" plays well when they are the 2nd largest company. So what's the idea behind this press release?

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

@dalmaer this is a wild press release

"Spotify Pays Apple Nothing"

Could say the same thing the other way ("Apple pays Spotify Nothing")... value is generated both ways. but i guess the 2nd largest co. in the world is fine making disingenous arguments when profit is on the line

@42petunias @brooklyn47361 @trevorshowvan @TableBoston Maybe I misread all this but sounds like OP did a chargeback by calling thier credit card, instead of doing a claim with the insurer for the cancel fee incurred due to their sickness.

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

@42petunias @brooklyn47361 @trevorshowvan @TableBoston Someone else mentioned that travel insurance doesn't interact with the third party business at all, and will just compensate whatever you lost directly. It seems given this is insurance the cancel fee should have been uncontested, and then the insurer would credit OP 250$...

Clicked on "add a payment method"

fascinating

https://t.co/3Uj9uvKJWT wins the shitty website of the month award. every other interaction takes 5s to do anything, support pages 400 (unless you are logged out or in incognito), and live chat is broken

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

was being generous. some stuff takes minutes to finish. glanced at a trace and yup, some custom made shit analytics framework. they'd see people dropping out of their flows in their dashboards, if it weren't for the fact that no one has a choice in internet service.

@potter52009 @GWVP0 @PicturesFoIder he...he.... he just gave more relevant info.... what are you reading into this

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

this is at least the second time in a year I've a come across a MSVC bug. Last one was way easier to handle, since it crashed the compiler for a certain code pattern (crash is way preferable, bc no nasty assembly debugging)

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

so, how normal is it to come across an error in MSVC codegen?

Straight up bug in the compiler. 100% not undefined behavior. The assembly is obviously doing the wrong thing.

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

solution.... disable auto vectorization for a loop.

@mutableai please auto wiki Zquestclassic/zquestclassic

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

@GamerKraytos @Sunny_Sof check out ZQuest Classic for some 2d zelda fan games :) https://t.co/9BcxSEI8sw

@MarioBrothBlog "The player's score is stored as a 24-bit hexadecimal number in memory." What does this mean?

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

@jaffathecake Are we just less risk adverse to CSS regressions than say, with JavaScript / flatten, since a site is still more likely than not operational with CSS regressions than with JS ones?

[Connor Clark @cjamcl]

@jaffathecake What allows the web platform to make this change? I'd assume there are some sites out there accidentally and incorrectly applying a as-of-now defunct align-content on a block element, and with this change the layout will break.
