"identifies as" is an unnecessarily dismissive choice of words. She is a woman.
My statement was a fact, and in my opinion not politically loaded, yet respectful to Justine. I chose my words carefully.

It's his personal website lol.
Justine identifies as a woman.

The readme talks about plans for Linux support, but I'm guessing that's no longer on the table after the Epic acquisition? Sweeney is the single most publicly anti-Linux CEO I'm aware of.
AFAIK, RAD was acquired by Epic before Ryan began working on the Linux port

This is awesome. I've been meaning to check out WireGuard for some time, and this project has been inspiring for me. Thanks!
It's my fantasy to do this. Congrats on having the courage.
My friend does this and I feel the same way. I could never bring myself to do this, I cant even smile at people

PMTiles is absurdly great software.
My only gripe is that the tile metadata is stored as JSON, which I get is for compatibility reasons with existing software, but for e.g. a simple C program to implement the full spec you need to ship a JSON parser on top of the PMTiles parser itself.
You need to learn to enjoy small talk, it's the bridge to "large" talk, which is how you connect with people. Meeting people you can connect with is a numbers game! So if you can learn to enjoy small talk (and get better at it), this would probably help a lot.
Sean has been on Jon's stream, and there's a good video where briefly Sean states that he have Jon some syntax advice for Jon's language Jai.
I assumed they were friends as there are several videos of them conversing. The parent comment pointed out that Sean agree's with the negatives about Jon, which could not mean much, but the fact that Jon's negative as described in the Dreknek are really bad indicates to me that Sean likely doesn't view Jon as a good friend anymore. This is surprising to me because I really did enjoy one of their videos where they try and solve a problem together.
The fact that Sean agrees with this critical take of Jon is further evidence of how much Jon has changed since the pandemic.
STB Is the intial's for Sean T Barrett, who also created a software library with the same name.
Frankly STB is a bit of a lefty nutjob, those types are known for excommunicating good friends over minor political schisms... Talking from experience.
When Lance passed, it was one of the only times when I heard Blow be actually effusive about a person and their accomplishments.
He seemed very affected by his passing. You could tell how deeply he felt the loss of such talent from the world.
Blow made his own language because he's so eye-wateringly arrogant and thinks every language (that he didn't make) sucks, and only he is smart enough to design a better language for programming games.
Seriously, this is why he did it. His ego and arrogance is off the charts and if it wasn't made by him, he thinks it sucks (e.g. he doesn't like Linux, probably because he realizes Torvalds is actually smarter than him). He also doesn't like C++ or Rust, again, it's probably a good indicator he has a deep inferiority complex and so he has to prove he's the smartest person in the world by writing his own, "better" language.
I.e. I don't think he's making a programming language for some "love of creating", I think he's doing it because he has a deep psychological issue/insecurity, which drives his need to always be the "smartest person in the room", his arrogance, the way he dismisses others who don't agree with his viewpoints etc.
This is a very reductive take.
Even if you don't like Jon, calling Jai an exercise in arrogance is simply untrue. When he started making Jai in ~2014, there were very few viable alternatives to C/C++ in the systems programming space that offered the kind of expressive power becoming of a langauge built this century. Rust is great, but it prioritising correctness is not always the right choice, especially not for games. Jai introduced many ideas that languages like Zig and Odin ended up adopting.
