@AnthropicAI your app on iOS is extremely slow when Claude is generating a response and the user is also trying to type into the input box.

Seems like the UI thread is getting tied up too much. Someone on your iOS team should optimize the code so as not to tie up the UI thread.

@davepl1968 Lingo Script, it was used by Macromedia Director.

@Zengy and here’s a 90s throwback for you…I hope you are well Steve!

@archidapp @lauriewired AS3 was just fine…sounds like user error…

@davepl1968 I’m pretty sure if Carmack wants to know how something works he’ll tear it apart and understand it better than anyone.

Show me an image of an image of the #Zig #Ziglang iguana.

@davepl1968 Or how about write an OS for me that doesn’t have ads built in or that doesn’t blue screen.

#spacequest #sierraonline Here's a low-res rough-draft preview of a fully recreated vectorized merchandise patch that Sierra Online released years ago. This is a non-final preview. Original patch is here: https://t.co/mmI3Kca428

@goinggodotnet Big lessons will be learned when a generation of coders deploys slightly incorrect AI code to production that they didn’t fully take the time to understand.

Here’s a tip: another way to detect memory leaks on MacOS in #ziglang #zig is to use the C-based allocator with the “leaks” command line tool. This is a nice alternative to Valgrind.

@raysan5 Wel, well deserved. Raylib is awesome and your C code is just so intuitive so it all makes so much sense.

@EliasDaler And with this knowledge you can use bit twiddling to toggle uppercase and lowercase letters.

@LubaRaphael Or having to give a presentation and Windows decides to do an update. Or it randomly bluescreens, or crashes or lets malware in. Oh Windows, thanks for the memories.

@AbheekGulati @davepl1968 I like readable and maintainable code but elegance isn’t the only important thing. Code first and foremost needs to be useful and get something done. And sometimes it must be done in a performant manner.

Also without the Numpy lib written in C what would you do?

[Ralph Caraveo @deckarep]

@range_marten @Mattias_G I love how creative people got when limited to do cool stuff like this. Pico8 has some of these abilities would love to see it in other fantasy consoles.

[Ralph Caraveo @deckarep]

@Mattias_G I would love to see something that is similar to your DosLike project but allows you to code in some kind of ASM language and a simple scripting language. It would also be very cool to have coroutines.
