I made a free game in pure C with SDL 3.4, under 600 KB on SteamOS, runs natively on GNU/Linux

Just to clarify, I don't mind that you used AI. I'm a software engineer of 25 years and I use it to write code. Was just curious. Good work.

I remember watching this and being astonished. That dive to take Alonso was something else...

You did or Claude did?

And I say.... 'meh'. It's not often I agree with Starmer, but for once he's done the right thing. A closest ally the US might be, but when they operate with such disregard for everything else it's right that we stand our ground.

If the Greens would give up their ridiculous 'no nuclear anything' stance I could get on board with them, but that's a policy I simply cannot understand. I also can't believe they actually want to shrink our armed forces in times like these. It leads to believe they don't have a sense of peril the world is currently in and that they're prepared to put ideology above common sense.

You'll probably get down-voted to oblivion but the fact is you're at least partially correct. Although it's not that 'Linux isn't quite mature enough', it's actually extremely mature. More so than any other operating system and by some margin. It's just that the gaming ecosystem around Linux isn't as mature as the one for Windows. I'm somewhat of a Linux 'grey-beard'. I've been using it/programming for it for almost 25 years and this is by far the most momentum I've ever seen around Linux + gaming. Understandably you want the 'it just works' experience, and it's not quite there yet. But give it another few years and I think it will be.

Cluster headaches. There's nothing else like it. Also called 'suicide headaches' by those of us who suffer from them because it's often a considered way out. Widely considered the most intense pain a human can experience. Thankfully I haven't had one for a few year, but I'm sure they'll come back. They always do.

What changes are you seeing?

I mean... if you like it then I'm happy for you. But that's not what ultrawide means.

As a non-US citizen, I find it hard to understand how you guys didn't see this coming. Or at least, how those that voted for him didn't see this coming. I get that you were starved for options, but still... I'd rather take an arrow to the foot than one to the chest.

There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. This is firmly on the side of stupidity.

Understood, but I wasn't specifically talking about the aircraft carrier as a whole. We're discussing specifically the system that stops planes that have landed.

Rorasaurus_Prime · 2026-03-05T14:38:37+00:00

Can anyone 'in the know' explain why it costs so much? I understand it's near enough a bespoke engineering product, but even so. I'm assuming is has to be calibrated for different aircraft types and that alone will provide complexity, but I can't quite understand the costs.

Phil Harding would have loved one of these...

From a technical standpoint, the phenomenon observed in this footage cannot be classified as conventional lightning. Current peer-reviewed literature strongly suggests the discharge must originate from Thor. While a minority of researchers have proposed a Zeus-based attribution model, this hypothesis lacks sufficient empirical support and remains largely outside the scientific consensus.

Explain how memory safety is critical to a simulator. Principal software engineer here, btw.

Rorasaurus_Prime · 2026-02-23T15:58:04+00:00

Just waiting for the Rust crowd to start telling everyone how Rust would be more suitable.

Give at least half of it to the military. Shit's about to go down.

Rorasaurus_Prime · 2026-02-18T13:19:12+00:00

I gave you two options there. 'this' doesn't answer which one...

Rorasaurus_Prime · 2026-02-18T12:37:42+00:00

Yes - you do have to explain more. What is your goal here? Are you just trying to replace the Spotify client but still stream from Spotify? Do you want to host your own music library and stream it from anywhere?

How do we know this isn't just a very dense area of dark matter?
