@zoombapup Thanks! I plan to!

@Lambda_Coder Computers no longer get faster, fast enough to outpace the armies of CS grads who are destined to retire before learning about cache

@rikarends Is this also true of hardware design?

RT @NOTimothyLottes: @bmcnett Good sprite art at separated scanline 224p is timeless. Diminishing returns today more due to the 'sound barr…

@bonzajplc Thanks!

@mmalex Thanks!

@shinali Thanks!

@lorenschmidt Three color sprites (also found in Qud) are superior to 2 and 4 color sprites

@MathRestaurant I'd make span into a fundamental type, and do everything I could to phase out pointers and replace with spans

@AntoniaRForster Thanks!

@Keyframe Thanks!

@noop_dev @Oscarr404 C++ has good parts, but with every new version of C++, it takes many years for the community to figure out which the good parts are. And the bad parts of old versions tend to stick around forever

@npatsiouras Thanks!

@ShaunPeoples Thanks!

@aras_p Thanks!

@EdgerOdin @mbur82 ok, but programming what? even in 02 they had specific tests for incoming gameplay engineers vs graphics engineers. at the time the purpose of the test was to establish: does this person 100% understand by heart, what we consider "the basics" here?

@EdgerOdin @mbur82 The game industry is a big place with many roles. When screening candidates, a company is mainly concerned with how seamlessly you already fit an existing role, which has more demand than supply. In the 00s I knew people who broke into AAA engineering by making a direct3d demo
