C macro approach to using optional / default / named function params, using struct designated initializers. Mandatory values are passed first as standard function params (rect in the example). Especially useful when a zero value can be made a valid value.

If you keep posting Screenshots every Saturday, then after enough Saturdays go by, your game will be done! Maybe....

The best thing about Saturday is it's the weekend so you can go to the park and touch grass and then the Farmer's Market to get some really good fresh fruit and then you post a screenshot.

GPT-5 just refactored my entire codebase in one call. 25 tool invocations. 3,000+ new lines. 12 brand new files. It modularized everything. Broke up monoliths. Cleaned up spaghetti. None of it worked. But boy was it beautiful.

Sure, but niches for that kind of expertise can only exist on top of economies of scale requiring ideally large, young, and growing populations. The existence of a single extreme ultraviolet lithography expert rests on hundreds of millions of gamers buying graphics cards.

Existing search tools on Windows suck. Even with an SSD, it’s painfully slow. So I built a prototype of Nowgrep. It bypasses most of the slow Windows nonsense, and just parses the raw NTFS. On an SSD, this ends up faster than ripgrep, even on a cached run (Nowgrep bypasses

I still don't know what this game is called. What if we name it #screenshotsaturday? Is that a good name?

Where should we be posting video game jobs these days, besides the horror show that is LinkedIn (which to be fair is the perfect site to hire people for Macrodata Refinement). If you're in the games industry and have looked for jobs in the past couple of years, where did you go?

You can either recognize and support natural ability and intelligence and creativity or continue down this path and become enserfed to China. There are no other paths to recovery…neither tariffs nor free trade nor any other economic trigger can substitute for this.

I have decided to ship Nowgrep. A first Windows Beta will be released on 21th of November. Hold me accountable. Goals for first release: - Caching/content indexing to make searching even faster - Clean, good looking, and snappy UX - Minimal, standalone .exe file (aiming for <

Unless we figure out how to rapidly raise fertility rates in the developed world to 3+ children per woman, both social democracy and industrial technological civilization are guaranteed cooked by the end of the century. The math just doesn't add up without way more people, fast.

The real China bull case even China hawks/watchers don't appreciate yet is pretty simple: by default we should expect China to grossly surpass all previous attempts at industrial growth, because it has way more people, of greater discipline and math aptitude, at greater density.

Finally finished the Ice Map for Fat Goblins! Today I finalized the wind and snow effect. It's starting to look great and very cold! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #ゲーム制作

Look what has finally arrived! I never had a GameBoy Color (I‘m from the OG black/green generation) but this feels like home. Thanks, Palmer Luckey! Time to dust off my Tetris skills!
