I really don't understand how you can work with a language without types.

The types are removing a lot of code where you normally need to verify that the data is the type you're expecting.

The DX is way better when you know what you are working with

Yey! The speakers for REAC have been announced: enginearchitecture.org/2024.htm
Registration is open, too!
I am looking forward to two days of diving into the vast pool of engine architecture knowledge and coming out soaking wet :-) .

this is how it feels to design data-intensive applications

web dev stack overflow is always like:

Q: is there a way to florb arrays in js?

✅[⬆️635]: Florbing will never happen. Browsers are very specifically designed to prevent and discourage relying exactly this kind of florb due to security concerns as well as for performance…

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

The software industry is rapidly converging on just three languages: nit-picking, bikeshedding, and pedantry.

It would be smart to learn one of those really well, and have at least a working acquaintance with the other two.

New* post, 'target_clones is a trap'! zeux.io/2024/04/20/tar… RTs appreciated :)

This was written in 2022 as I was working on Luau optimizations; 2024 is a great year to repost it as the mechanism behind target_clones (ended up not being used) also was used in xz_utils backdoor!

A) Yes
B) Myself and others have been sounding this alarm for over a decade
C) Many factors are at play, including an improperly trained workforce, monopoly business effects, and widespread adoption and standardization of low-quality practices, languages, platforms and protocols

Still haven't managed to land a job yet and things are getting tight financially.

I'm not asking for handouts, but if you need any 3D game assets made, hit me up! Maybe we can work something out 😊

I have noticed a worrying trend in computer science where topics that are have surprising, non-intuitive properties are now taught as “oh, treat this as a magic black box, you will never understand it”. I hate this as people then “teach” by discouraging exploration in the space

If doctors were anything like software engineers your physician’s response to “I have a headache” would be “I don’t. NEXT!”

This is hands down one of the stupidest software metrics I have ever seen in my entire life.

it can not be said enough that everyone in this country is the exact same kind of fucking loser
