No binary distribution for Linux, I suppose. Although maybe skeeto might want to ensure that it works with Wine.

Ignoring the history, does spaces solves this problem or are permissions going to remain an issue? I was thinking of doing a project that is going to require a solid permissions system and was thinking of using ATProto.

Are there any plans to add HTTPS clone/push support? For those who want to self-host their own Knots, an obvious approach is to put them behind Cloudflare. And being SSH only makes that complicated.

> Claude Code for VS Code extension on the Cursor Marketplace

So Cursor is running its own extension repository? Or is this the official VS Code repository and the incident report just happens to focus on Cursor for some reason?

Sorry, can you provide the link to the course? I was not able to find it.

Blow's claim was that C++ sucks and that an alternative better suited for gamedev should be created. It's not like he's had good things to say about LLVM.

I asked for tasteful additions :)

Thanks, I didn't know this existed.

Terra is a native language that uses Lua for both meta-programming and scripting, it doesn't emit Lua VM bytecode. The actual statically-typed frontends (which are still alive) that I known of are Teal, Luon, Ravi, TypeScriptToLua and CSharp.lua.

Last time I tried Lazarus, the strangest feature that FPC was missing when compared to Delphi was being able to declare variables anywhere (as opposed to only at the top of a block). FPC is still stuck in a very C89 model of declarations for some reason, perhaps that's just what happens when ecosystems stagnate.

What is your purpose in the new age of AI?

Has anyone tried to extend the C Preprocessor to be a fully turing complete language (perhaps something like Snobol) to allow for Terra like meta-programming?

(I am not talking about metalang99 or Cello like stuff, which exploits the Turing tarpit of the currently specified preprocessor but rather tasteful additions to the preprocessor itself).

Commanche was a height-map raycaster. There were no voxels to be found.

Sure, but how do you prove that you won't end up with `x' + y' > Z` for some value of x' and y'? In practice, it's always easier to prove `x < X, y < Y`.

> You might ask “why not have two stack allocators instead of a double headed one?” The main benefit is when you are memory constrained and know that the size of one stack allocator is enough to serve two systems, but the proportion of memory that goes to one side vs the other is flexible.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Solving `x <= X, y <= Y` is much easier than solving `x + y <= Z`. If you put a limit on both the size of in-core level data (perhaps using a Cell based system) and on character data in the asset pipeline itself, that is much better than to ensure that all the various combinations of level sizes and character sizes are compatible and won't end up trampling over each other.
