Having to deal with build issues of software older than three and a half years will ultimately be the reason I quit the industry and start a career in gardening.

Stumbled upon an "experienced game programmer's" resume. Three pages of super detailed listings of work tasks, 9 years of experience. Zero mention of any released games.

The macOS Music app is suddenly… not playing my music. Songs seem to go into a playing state in the UI, but never advance from 0:00. The files are all ok, playable through Quick Look and other players, so it’s definitely just the app failing.

It had one job.

"digitally remastered"

Like, okay. Fine. But what else could it be? Analogically? Manually? Optically? With crayons?

Last year someone finally (after 22 years!) made a patch to disable the broken adaptive scaling algorithm from Max Payne's starting difficulty setting. Playing the game with it is like playing it for the first time. Final levels are no longer an exercise in patience and savescumming. I recommend it highly.

Had an interesting discussion while walking with my son yesterday.

How do you define indoors vs outdoors?

If you're in a tunnel, is it indoors?

Is it about the amount of ventilation?

If it's about the ventilation, are you indoors on a plane?

Is it the amount of recycled air?

If you're in a big hall, you're clearly indoors, right?

If you're in an airtight artificial biome, is it indoors?

"The program has exited with code 0xc0000135 'A dependent dll was not found'."

How about telling me the freaking name? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

For some reason I'm more bothered by gray hairs in my beard than gray hairs on my head. 🤔

I'm a gamer. I sometimes play too many games. And I don't mind stupid game stories (most of the time), as I distinguish between story and action games. And I also see, why "dumb" stories are often times necessary for gameplay.

BUT knowing about the rising genre of LitRPGs I really wish people would start reading REAL books and stop writing stupid game stories down as "books". If the story of a game is what you came up with for a book, you played too many games.

Heh, whatever skeleton crew is still maintaining iTunes Store seems to not be doing so well. All of the music I’ve ever purchased is suddenly “hidden”, leaving it in a broken state in the Music app.

Needed to go to iTunes Store → Account → Downloads and Purchases → Hidden Purchases and use the awful, slow, utterly broken UI to “unhide” them. Had to manually click [Unhide] so many times I got rate-limited.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing some significant part of the human existence by not drinking alcohol.

I've been tracking the prices people are willing to pay for #SpecNext on ebay.

The auction prices hover around 600€, and some people with more money than sense have gone with 1200€ buy it nows.

When vulkan was introduced, Khronos stated that OpenGL wasn't going away.

Latest ARB extension to OpenGL is dated 2019. No extension (vendor specific or otherwise) mention ray tracing in any way.

I'm trying to schedule something using Framadate, which normally works quite well, but... what the hell is this error message?

My productivity tip is to make todo lists for myself.

Not so much to keep track of what I should be doing, but in order to make me pick the task that's least annoying to do.

I'll look at all the options and think "this one might not be so bad".

And then I'm at least doing something rather than nothing!

As a person with literally two hours of experience in the #Polish language, I feel I'm expert enough to state this opinion:

The language could use a reform.

They don't use v. W is their v. There's no reason for this.

Some sounds can be written in two ways, either with accented characters or two letters. There's probably some logic behind this.

In some two letter combinations the first letter is omitted when speaking.

While at it, the accented l could be changed to the (now unused) w.

When I was a little younger - in December 1997 (26 years ago) I tried to create some custom #Quake maps for fun :)
