Once upon a time, in 2014, Nintendo took hard losses. Their president Satoru Iwata cut his own pay by 50%. Legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto willingly took a 30% cut. Other board members also cut their pay by 20%. They did this to avoid firing staff. This is leadership.

"a + b", this one line of Python code executes thousands of lines of C behind the scenes. My latest article explains what goes on in the CPython runtime to execute this seemingly simple operation. You will learn about:
- Dynamic dispatch implementation in CPython
- What is the abstract object interface in CPython and its role in dynamic dispatch
- What is the PyTypeObject struct and its role in the CPython runtime
- How the various types in CPython implement operators and make them available to the runtime for dynamic dispatch to work.
- And, look inside the implementation of the float type to understand this more concretely.
The article includes 13 annotated code listings from CPython with all the explanations. Check it out: open.techwriters.info/codeco…

I want more games set in a single small location that you end up intimately familiar with by the end. Clever re-use of areas, gating and world events keeping it feeling fresh.

I think it’s more the absolute Irony of this take. None of us streamers are in any moral position/nor are we Spielberging our content here.
Streamers are cam models, we just exploit a different emotion.

Today, it’s plausible to make things 10x-100x faster with a single optimization/refactoring. Code today is so bloated and slow.
Godbolt’s Law was fine 20 years ago, but hasn’t aged well.
I just had reason to quote Godbolt's Law - "if any single optimisation makes a routine run two or more times faster, then you’ve broken the code."

Inner join ECS is a really nice data structure too, but you have to remember that one data structure and one algorithm is just a tiny fraction of the whole computer science. It’s good for some things and bad for others. If all you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
The beginnings of some sort of concept art. I want to start posting more in-progress stuff because if I wait for it to be done I'll never finish.
Holy shit – at San Francisco, CA

Explore the infinitely recursive universe of Game of Life! Works in real-time and is perfectly consistent, never fails to remember where you are and where you came from.
