being an emulator developer will test your patience

I don’t enjoy being mean to people, but given so many people try to get in contact with me, I start to… prioritise the ones who did their research

why is this the logo of “babel”, the piece of software for translating between javascript dialects. it has serious… audio-visual dissonance??? it feels almost… edgy, like it thinks it’s called “rebel” or something. but uh, no, this is a compiler named after the tower of babel.

so… I thought that the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons had terrible accuracy compared to an Xbox One Controller.

but now I discover the Joy-Cons were probably blameless, it’s the result of a bad interaction between touchHLE and this SDL2 issue: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7479

please watch this 10-minute video about “writing a 3D game engine like it’s 1995”

it’s very good

some ported touchHLE to Android: https://twitter.com/ciciplusplus/status/1636135360957755393

this is super cool!

(though I haven’t seen this person’s code yet so, uh… please don’t expect too much about when this might be merged. it’ll probably also be even harder to use than the Windows and Mac versions lol)

the next release of touchHLE will have a new feature that 99.9% of users will never have a use for, but which will hopefully save me a lot of time/effort/suffering/tears in future

I implemented the GDB Remote Serial Protocol :3

do you know these pieces of music? if you don’t, i’m afraid you haven’t watched enough episodes of the greatest technology-related PBS show that aired from 1983 to 2002

has anyone following me worked with Rust’s standard library networking stuff (std::net)? how was it? I’m interested in TCP and possibly non-blocking usage.

(I’m not interested in other ways of doing networking in Rust.)
