I didn't expect to see "Toeslagenaffaire" on HN. Does this even belong on HN?

r1chardnl commented on Valve conquered PC gaming – what comes next? ft.com/content/f4a13716-8... · Posted by u/HelloUsername
I do have some concerns that other companies will manage to take legal actions that harm Valve's user experience without actually helping consumers.
They have a near-monopoly on PC gaming, which sounds bad at face value. But the only reason for that is that they've continually developed an excellent platform that helps connect people with games that they want to play, and then be able to play them. There are very few marketplaces that strike the right balance of presenting you with options you want, while not artificially getting in your way. (In other words, it's not very enshittified.)
There's nothing stopping someone from never buying another game on Steam, and moving to another marketplace on PC, unlike the store monopolies on consoles and mobile devices.

Slighty off-topic, why is he using ptrdiff_t (instead of size_t) for the cap & len types?
From one of his other blogposts. "Guidelines for computing sizes and subscripts"
Never mix unsigned and signed operands. Prefer signed. If you need to convert an operand, see (2).

If AMD and Intel can't match NVIDIA then how can Huawei?
I don't know how well this makes you understand your dependencies. As for C/C++ a lot of people probably depend on stb single header files libraries. There's stb_truetype but it specifically mentions not to use it on any untrusted/outside .ttf files which I do like but you have to keep in mind to bake to bitmaps or only use your own .ttf provided files, thus I would put this dependency in another place like tooling. Is there a way to do this in other languages like JS and NPM? Maybe carefully choosing which dependencies you include is better?
