Building a Debugger is now officially released!
It guides you through writing a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.

Internet Archive is looking for engineering managers with a rare set of experiences, and we could use your help.
Do you know someone with extensive experience using PHP as a systems language? Someone who has gardened a petabyte-scale system under high load? Is this person a player/coach engineering manager who enjoys helping other people succeed?
If you do know someone like this, or someone close, I would love to talk to them.

as long as we're all talking bout weird tf i wanna give a shout out to the now-delisted roguelike game Beacon, which has the most "okay someone in the writers room was Horny For This" writing i've ever seen

@srxl open gl in the Open Games sense, inviting the community to shape the direction of play in the space of a given GL
Gamedev be like: This crowd of NPCs has a bunch of women in green dresses and a bunch in purple dresses. They're all supposed to walk five steps to the right. The green women move, but the purple ones stand still. I cannot find a single difference in their scripting logic or object settings, other than the color of their dresses.
The fix was to delete all the purple women, copy green women into their places, and recolor them purple. Now they all walk five steps to the right.
love2d-fennel.el has been updated to work with the latest version of fennel-mode.
The emacs package wraps fennel-repl to let you run love or the fennel repl based on whether you're in a love2d project.
It also wraps fennel-reload to give you project aware module names by default.
@srxl happy birthday!!!!
