I wish I had a simple way to quickly make custom visualisations of what's going on in my game using a web browser. Ideally print out JSON on a socket and have a number of tabs using React or something. Does this exist already?

Planning to start an indie game studio, looking for cool people to work with! CEO/marketing person with game industry experience would be ideal.

Researched game Entity Component Systems (ECS) last few days, including Unity's Burst / jobs / ECS. To me it looks like everyone keeps making up complex solutions to the same problems. See: map() / shaders / SIMD / superscalar CPUs, OOE. Anyone want to discuss this with me?

How come many people don't love RAII? I think it's a great idea to represent the lifetime of stuff using the lifetime of an object/value!

Came to think about F.E.A.R. Brilliant game. I played through it several times in the day. Now watching YouTube clips to relive memories of it. Need to get a gaming PC again.

Been researching error handling lately and ended up writing two blog posts. Any error handling nerd here that can help me with feedback before I publish them and reddit tears them to shreds? #programming #errors
Strugging with implementing reference counting in the LLVM backend of Floyd lang. Every single test passes (1027 tests) running natively, except all memory leaks github.com/marcusz/Floyd
Micro benchmarking w Google Benchmark. Confused! Linearly reading a 64 MB vector of uint32:s = 18 GB/s. Linearly reading 16 MB of uint8_s = 13 GB/s. WTF. MacBook Pro, Core i7-7660U @ 2.50GHz, 2 cores x 2, 2x L1 32K, 2x L2 256KB, L3 4MB.
Code Optimisation advice : First make rough estimate of the *ideal* execution time for your data on your CPU. This gives you an idea if it's time for a complete rethink or for minor tuning (x1 - x2). Don't wast time on premature tuning.

Tip of the day: when trying to find info in all those 1 hour presentations on youtube, tap [j] and [k]-keys to skip in time, 10 second increments. Appa-bapa-tappa-aahapf!
I just published Think about memory accesses, not instructions, when optimising code link.medium.com/KDs9IaJVuU
