When tech companies measure their uptime, I feel like it would be fair to not include when someone else messes up their BGP settings. However, the end user doesn't care what a BGP is. To them, it is down. From that perspective, I feel like it should be included.

Today's Fireship video is about stereotypes of today's programmers. One of them is the old, jaded programmer. "He is in his mid-30s." Ouch. youtube.com/watch?v=zv6B6PQO…

The last real programmers are dying out...

About eMudhra's private key being just 4... I need to revisit how this works. I thought the numbers had to be prime. The point is factoring primes is hard, right?

Admittedly, I should have worded this better. :) you goofballs "...factoring [out the] primes..." Anyway, thank you to people who pointed out it was ECC instead of RSA (so non-primes are allowed).

TIL about the ud2 x86-64 instruction. And the retroactive ud1 and ud0. Neato.

I wanted to point this out but was too lazy to make a clip. I like the Peter Pan shadow thing :D

QTEs. Before QTEs, people who did not understand gaming thought you "just push buttons". Then QTEs come out and you literally just push buttons. If your game already has a dodge and a player is fast it is a cool moment. But QTEs suck the air out of the room. Bleeds aura.

I'm not vengeful or spiteful. So I wouldn't do this. But imagine someone creating a mod for a game which adds QTEs... There is a reason you never see that. And it an embarrassment every time a *professional* game designer adds QTEs to THEIR OWN GAME.

I think that is the first time I saw AI misspell something. I wonder if this is an intentional marker to detect copying.

In the age of AI, I think us programmers need to shift our interpretation of "good, fast, cheap--pick 2". With AI, I am able to accomplish more quickly. However, I do still need to babysit it. I could not babysit and it'll be fast and bad. Or I can throw tokens at it (fast $$).

I've always preferred to pin "good" and let the tradeoff be fast/cheap. I know a *lot* of programmers & companies who prefer to pin fast. I think our underlying preferences still show with AI. I'll take the time to babysit and clean up its output. That is a slowdown.

The @Valheimgame team crushed it with the 1.0 update. The Deep North was amazing. That final boss was amazing. The ending cutscene was amazing. Thank you for making this. My friends and I hung up our final weapons and the crown.

The amount of tech that goes into just the vegetation for Alan Wake 2 is insane. Plants have "bones" so they can sway in the wind. Oh yeah, wind is computed. The plants are broken into meshlets, each of which has its own bounding sphere. The GPU checks that sphere's visibility.

Voting isn't made secure by lack of printed paper mailed to you. The paper is more or less meaningless. The important part happens once it is submitted. Which is why purging voters doesn't gain security.

Friggin' AI coding...I really don't want to like it but... It just tested >10k queries against two builds to find and understand where they diverge. Sure, I could have coded up a way to that diff queries. But understanding why they're different would have taken eyeball time.
