@Gankra oh so it's a bit like subtypes? i guess with all of the implicit conversions that happen in python's arithmetic it kind of makes sense.oh! maybe the reason was so you can pass an integer literal to a function expecting a float.

tfw someone asks someone else a question about one of your favorite subjects and you know you shouldn't jump in, so you don't, but you really want to.

oh you downloaded your game? oh yeah? have fun. but me, i'm a ludophile, i only play games on vinyl. it's all about that game quality you know. there's just no way to replace this -- *breaks out the 25 vinyl disk collection box for Riven: The Sequel to Myst.*

ok it would actually be cool if you were playing a game on vinyl and when you moved to a new area you had to switch disk and the game made it so there was some thematic connection between the A-sides and the B-sides.but the disk switching and latency would be a nightmare.

did you know pixel artists used to be amateur demonologists. they would arrange the pixels into subtle "summoning circles" that beamed demonic energy straight into your eyeballs, giving the viewer a frisson of danger and excitement. it was just a natural consequence of working with CRTs. unfortunately this practice fell by the wayside as demons abhor a flat panel display. the newer technology just doesn't compare.

"it's free" doesn't mean you should get a game based on a franchise by famous anti-trans author. they still get paid for that. and getting the game is just validating epic's decision to ignore the issue and subsidize an anti-trans author's crusade against trans people which has resulted in the loss of rights for trans people in the UK.

the fiasco with live service games is actually part of a much wider problem in the software industry, of software with centralized proprietary servers, developed as speculative investments, and if it turns out to not be profitable enough you cut the losses. sure game publishers were even greedier than big web companies by requiring you to pay for your client even if the service gets shut down, but even if that practice is banned this is a bigger problem.

Getting to this point was harder than expected. Part of it was adding some support for dynamic loading of external functions (although in the end I realized we don't entirely need it for this example ... static linking would work here, even if it's not a good idea for opengl).The GLFW bindings are also very WIP because callbacks / function pointers aren't handled well yet.

In 2026 we do not write C code, we invent a programming language that writes C code.
