It already has.

AFAIK Casey Muratori isn't working on Jai, that's (entirely?) Jonathan Blow.

Didn't that book mention how, at the time, he used to live on pizza and cola?

I did it in my mid-to-late 30s. At that point, I had very little going for me. Now, I'm married, have a happy kid, have a decent job, and have just bought a house.

It can definitely be done; you just need to be patient, love yourself, and to want it enough to put in the work.

VS Code is neither fast nor efficient. I'm not hating on it as I like it more than most Electron apps, but I use it on a laptop with a Core 2 Duo P8600 CPU (among other things) and it's pretty sluggish.

Did they mention in what way it's not as good?

Not having the APK available anywhere has an even more drastic impact.

I think that was, at least partly, his intent. He even stated in the letter accompanying his first cipher that it would contain his identity, then when it was deciphered it said "I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY NAME BECAUSE YOU WILL TRY TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP MY COLLECTING OF SLAV(E)S FOR MY AFTER LIFE".

Also that the code is indecipherable because one of the ways they got the code size down is by playing code golf.

I wouldn't call it jaded, I'd call it experienced.

The Clean Network being the same network that Edward Snowden spoke out about?

Why does CPU usage matter? Just buy a faster CPU. Why does memory usage matter? Just buy more memory. Why does network bandwidth usage matter? Just get a faster Internet connection. Why does stability matter? If it crashes, just restart it.

Good idea. I should probably knock up some kind of website for that kind of thing.

That's me. Thanks for the credit. I've had some help with people pointing me to some things that I don't already have archived so if anybody's aware of anything that I'm not, please tell.

Every third-party Reddit and Facebook app I've tried has seemed as if it was throttled or blocked.

Do you mean "encourages immutability as a default"?

I thought it was don't point it at anything you don't want dead i.e always assume there's a round in the chamber.

That's Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1.

Kind of sad that a person as intelligent as him can get to his age and still not realise that talking to people that way is at best highly ineffective and at worst will make them actively hostile towards you. That's not to mention rude and mean-spirited.

Java saves me time and tends to make more correct programs, compared to C.

I don't know what it is about programmers that we seem to love reinventing the wheel.

I've always had problems with IntelliJ IDEA feeling extremely slow and have never been able to figure out why. The mouse cursor even skips when it's doing anything intensive. This is on a machine with 4 cores @ 3.2GHz and 16GB of RAM. VSCode seems much faster.

You seem to be criticising them for doing the exact same thing that you ended up doing.

Hell, just optimising would be a start.

I think they probably mean the social kind.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do now? Are you still freelancing?

Now and again I'll try switching to Firefox but it's just incredibly sluggish compared to Chrome so I end up switching back.

LastPass is the only commercial password manager I recommend. I really think you should avoid 1Password.

I'm not going to go into details, sorry.

> so hammy and unrealistic

That's what I liked about it.
