  1. @plantseeds Yes, though first-person sounds weirder. "You give me a pointer to Foo. I give you back its area."
  2. WinXP running in VirtualBox on Laura's MacBook Pro runs IMVU better than my workstation.
  3. Not obvious, but decoupling texture objects from renderer objects has huge and awesome ramifications for your engine's design.
  4. [Programming] is a game of stepping-stone from one island of consistency to another. http://bit.ly/5B7Ce4
  5. Super stoked for the excellent feast on Thursday. :D I think we're on to a grand tradition!
  6. "This" "is" "a" "restaurant" "in" "Palo" "Alto" "." http://twitpic.com/qguxr
  7. Me: green bar! @ennor: sounds like candy for engineers.
  8. @MikeRooney What are you doing for Thanksgiving? We might end up topping last year's feast. :D
  9. My 2 GHz Core 2 Duo has the same family code as the 200 MHz Pentium Pro I grew up with. :D
  10. Updating the family, model, stepping tables in CPUInfo http://chadaustin.me/cpuinfo ... Intel has shipped a lot of CPUs since 2005!
  11. On agile planning: "We tell our stories on the walls. Release plans, features... In the end we're just cavepeople." Ellen Gottesdiener
  12. (Context: @n8downs and I just fixed a long-standing, obscure, but severe race condition in the task system. Woops!)
  13. Naughty Dog's GOAL system had similar issues. Made life easier but they needed a rockstar LISP hacker to develop it: http://bit.ly/1g7Nqj
  14. .@ericries and I often disagreed on that point. I'm inclined to build DSLs and accept a power law bug difficulty distribution.
  15. The advantage of building a DSL: reduced duplication, fewer opportunities for bugs. One big disadvantage: the bugs are MUCH harder to fix!
  16. On my credit card statement, Citi is interleaving transactions with ads targeted from purchases. :o
  17. The previous link is a generalization of structured programming to concurrency and transactional programming.
  18. Prefer structured [object, task, lock] lifetimes – local, nested, bounded, deterministic. http://bit.ly/2WVKRL
  19. Intel is making a mobile app stack for Linux. http://moblin.org/documenta...
  20. Why does anyone use _tmain, _T, or TCHAR these days? Certainly nobody writes new software for Win9x...
