ISO C committee, a failed standard effort:

• dysfunctional, couldn't standardise a simple improvement if their lives depended on it
• arcane, incomprehensible specs that nobody reads
• all volunteers. literally nobody involved gets paid
• they have the gall to paywall it??

Khronos (Vulkan, OpenGL) and MIDI specs:

• long track record of pragmatism
• written by big companies that have hardware to ship and no patience for bullshit
• down-to-earth, sometimes refreshingly casual, easy-to-understand specs
• everyone involved has a real job
• free :)

“why are you not irony-poisoned, hikari?”

thank you for asking, imaginary interlocutor

maybe it has something to do with one of the big things i did on twitter, many years back: i watched and livetweeted the whole of Sword Art Online out of morbid, ironic fascination

i'm probably a bit too infodumpy sometimes; if the whole world talked the way i do, it wouldn't be good. but it does have something going for it: my tendency to “over”explain things means you can more quickly pick out whether i'm coming at something from the wrong angle

trying to be somewhere between shitposter and sincereposter, just not a cynicposter

hazy night

the best part of being an emulator developer is being asked the same questions over and over again from people who can't read

someday i'll meet up with a few people i like and we'll realise that between us there are maybe two genders, one haircut and zero hues

🎵currently listening to colorcoaster by fusoxide, such a good song https://fusoxide.bandcamp.com/track/colorcoaster

there's so much love and joy out there, waiting to be found

i love that you can call toString() on a function in JS and get back its source code. it's not something you should do, but there are so many wonderfully silly applications for it. i love this shit
