@etscrivner That's a good book! I would also recommend Racing the Beam (about the Atari) which in that family of platform studies books from the MIT Press.

@rfleury @vkrajacic "Don't reinvent the wheel!" - "You won't be able to do it better than a library some smart people wrote!" - "It's not worth it!" - etc. It's drilled into people by others with zero imagination or curiosity.

@valigo It's glued to 'c'. But it's a design flaw in the language. I choose to "incorrectly" write code as if the pointer is part of the type expression, so I write 'char* c'. And 99.9% of the time this is fine. The other 0.1% of the time you make an exception.

When I attended GDC for the first (and only) time in 2016, it's not that I expected it to look like what BSC would eventually be… but I thought it'd be more like that than… whatever it was.
Even if I never get invited (likely!), I'm overjoyed that BSC exists. You should be too.

@rfleury @rezich Had the opportunity to go in 2016 and 2018. There were definitely good talks to be found, but far fewer than I expected. It was hard to even fill my schedule with stuff I cared about. I agree it was pretty disappointing.

@pikuma Of course it's entirely possible this person specifically is very good at both math and English, and is merely extrapolating that to all math students.

[XDF @xdfdev]

@pikuma I was going to say that this seems to betray either ignorance of college level English or maybe experience in a university with very low standards.

Pretty wild that LLMs seem to have trained on my 2019 article of "The product-minded engineer" and I now find blog posts published in 2025 that are an exact rehash of my post.

Because if you ask an LLM "write a blog about a product-minded engineer" they spit out mine!!

Modern Logo design is so boring. We need to go back.

[XDF @xdfdev]

@cmuratori Yes, totally agreed. I meant it would be by far the best default behavior given the existing instruction sets.

[XDF @xdfdev]

I think producing 0 is by far the most useful default behavior.
