One of the fascinating things for me at Naughty Dog as a junior programmer was that allocating memory was forbidden. Literally everything was fixed size with several heaps (like the level heap). Per-frame allocations were allowed as an arena allocator that was wiped each frame.

@FedEx Four times I've received a "delivery exception" while working from home all day, with no knock, no door tag, nothing. What do I need to do to get some real assistance with this?

Project Zomboid is 40% off in the Steam Summer Sale!

Note that this is the LAST time #PZ will be on sale before a price increase, which will come with the release of the animations build.

RT and spread the news that now's the time to buy!

My first episode of #MBMBaM and they're making a computer say dirty words. I'm hooked.

If I'd known how little coding was involved in a CS masters, I may not have ever started.

Today, I'm a dinosaur, because dinosaurs don't have to take certification exams.

New show idea; @altonbrown goes to golden corral restaurants around the country. Hilarity ensues.

It's been at least a couple months since I worked on Cavalcade. Lots of web stuff, java, and a little R lately.

@epicactual Unless said bacon was deep fried, I question the validity of this claim.

Watching an excellent professor teach is something amazing to behold.

@BelgianBoolean When a genre or type is chosen primarily because "that's what sells", the game probably should be canned right there.

I Am Alive has so much potential! Unfortunately, it falls far short. Still an interesting game, and I'm glad I bought it, on sale :)
