Releasing today: 'ProggyForever': a new MIT-licensed scalable font designed to closely match ProggyClean which happily served as Dear ImGui default font for 10+ years: github.com/ocornut/prog...
The new font is now embedded by default in Dear ImGui (compressed down to ~14 KB).

I was browsing some Pascal source code from 1997 and even though it is obvious nowadays, was surprised to see Sublime Text offering to find/follow function or variable definitions when hovering them with the mouse.

Ran into an odd MSVC compiler bug today: a missing parenthesis in a specific place, in a large source file, leads compiler into allocating all my RAM, which eventually led my computer to crash. I can reproduce it reliably.
If I uncomment the extra opening brace it reports error normally.

I wanted to copy some MP3 files on my iPhone. iTunes tells me I now need to download Apple Music and Apple Devices software from Microsoft Store. First download (~25 MB) took several minutes. Second download stalled. I tried to press the "Pause" button and even the Pause button doesn't work.

Been enjoying Bento Blocks which is cozy and has some elegant puzzles (tho I'd encourage you to always aim for the minimum number of chops, otherwise it is too easy)

Some programmers are a great mystery to me. What goes in the mind of a well-intending person submitting a pull request for something (1) they don't seem to need themselves (2) while stating they haven't tested the code yet ?

To increase feature discovery I often try to make the software self-documenting. Here e.g. I added a help popup in the error log when running automated tests from the GUI. Each of them needs to be designed to not get in the way of advanced users.

I had to read the theadline a couple times. A vulkan extension to improve directX on linux kinda required to mental gymnastics to parse.
It does make sense in the context of dxvk and all, but it does sound weird at face value

Was eager to start my week before I realized that @github.com now refuses to let me see all issues on my own repository??!!
It's unacceptable and very stressful. My issues are carefully labelled, but not all interactions are based on label/keyword searches. Let me see my Issues.

I agree with those. It’s incredible how often indie game devs are reluctant to get their game tested. I’ve talked to hundreds. Most think “We’ll playtest when it is ready” instead “It’ll be most likely ready and good after we playtest”. For most projects, I believe in the latter.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

The engine is based on dynamic SDFs, and the video describes how it works and what it makes possible.

I scanned some old photos of my mother Scheherazade, mostly from early/mid 1960's Iraq. First one with her brother and friends. Second one is a graduation party. Third one in 1953 with her dad, who kept notes of photography settings.
