It’s always been a bit of a balancing act to decide which games I write about in detail here — a matter of balancing my level of personal interest in each candidate against its historical importance. In the early years of this project especially, when I still saw it as focusing almost exclusively on narrative-oriented games, I passed over some worthy candidates because I considered them somewhat o
The most important thing I look for when choosing which tools to use is longevity. Learning software is an investment, and if you have to switch to another application later, you lose some of that investment. In most software categories, choosing the software with longevity is easy, the most popular tools are usually the ones that have been around the longest. Microsoft Excel and Adobe Illustrator

IBM's 18-month company-wide email system migration has been a disaster, sources say IBM's planned company-wide email migration has gone off the rails, leaving many employees unable to use email or schedule calendar events. And this has been going on for several days. Current and former IBMers have confirmed to The Register that the migration, 18 months in the making, has been a disaster. "I feel b
2022-03-31 Mutexes in C Mutexes in Rust Variations of the Rust mutex API and their problems Moving guarded data outside the mutex Unlock is unsafe. Conclusions One of the common complaints I hear from systems programmers who try Rust is about mutexes, and specifically about the Rust Mutex API. The complaints usually go something like this: They don’t want the mutex to contain data, just a lock. Th

ダークパターン - Wikipedia
ダークパターン（英語: Dark pattern）は、主にウェブサイトなどで、ユーザーを騙すために慎重に作られたユーザインタフェースのことである[1][2][3]。認知バイアスを利用して、ユーザーが思っているよりも多くの時間やお金を使わせる。または注意を払うように設計されている[4]。 例としては、購入時に保険に入会させたり、何かを定期購入させるなどの特定の行動をユーザーに促すものがある。また、「『購入ボタン』よりも『定期購入ボタン』の方が目立つ配色や大きさになっている」や「登録は簡単なのに退会が非常に面倒である」などの例もある。特に悪質なものが多いとされる例の1つは、利益が関わるショッピングサイトなどで、有名なウェブサイトほどダークパターンを利用しやすい傾向がある[5]。ダークパターンには、プライバシー侵害や人々の判断力低下など複数の問題点が指摘されている[5]。 ダークパターンという新

Hard Mode Rust Oct 6, 2022 This post is a case study of writing a Rust application using only minimal, artificially constrained API (eg, no dynamic memory allocation). It assumes a fair bit of familiarity with the language. The back story here is a particular criticism of Rust and C++ from hard-core C programmers. This criticism is aimed at RAII — the language-defining feature of C++, which was wh
Rescue Your Amazon Dash Buttons – Chris Mullins

Editor’s preface: When I first joined Dropbox in May 2017, we were at the tail end of our CoffeeScript to TypeScript migration. If you wanted to make changes to a CoffeeScript file, it was considered common courtesy to convert it to TypeScript while you were at it. Parts of our codebase were still using react-dom-factories and we had a custom flux implementation predating Redux. I knew our web pla
So the federal government wasn’t shut down over the weekend, although we may have to go through this whole drama again in six weeks.

And the bill didn’t include any of the
