Today I have a short blog post on something in game development that took me far too long to realize: that DeltaTime is a frame behind.

Hey Quest devs/community: Connect 2024 is finally here and I'm really excited to be co-presenting a talk!
The session is at 3PM today, and we'll cover several graphics/perf wins that we've made, and most of these can boost your FPS by a few percent. Here are some of the topics:

Builtin strings are an obvious shortcoming in C... but you can make your own!
There are 2 main alternatives: dynamic arrays & slices.
Slices are the best approach for general-purpose, largely because substrings are free: you can iterate lines in a file without extra allocations

The perception of safety in American cities is disconnected from actual safety.
Most Democrats think all cities are safe except Detroit and Chicago.
They are wrong about New Orleans, Atlanta, and Philapdelphia.
Most Republicans think all cities are generally unsafe, except a few Red State cities like Dallas, Houston, and Miami.
They think most Blue State cities are particularly unsafe, except Boston.
Yet, NYC and SF are extremely safe and LA quite safe, while Miami and Atlanta are not.
3 times more Republicans think Dallas is safe compared to NYC, yet the murder rate in Dallas is over 3 times that of NYC.
