Blogvent 3 - std::string_view and std::map
Blogvent 11 - Functions don't exist
Blogvent 12 - Tool recommendations
I'm nearly at the halfway point. Little retrospective of this project.
Time wise this doesn't seem to take much, about an hour, maybe a bit more if I have images and I don't seem to be running out of ideas, it's mostly whatever silly tech thing I'm thinking about
So far so good
Blogvent 15 - Javascript Destructors
Blogvent 16 - Cache locality - What is that?
Blogvent 19 - How big is my container?
Blogvent 20 - What is the longest YouTube Sponsored Segment?
Blogvent 21 - What YouTube video has the most sponsored segments?
Blogvent 22 - Video recommendations
Blogvent 23 - Low friction matters
Blogvent 26 - Tool Assisted Speedruns
@olafurw I wonder whether one could use JS WeakRefs to recover from failure to release resources, for example due to unhandled promise rejection.
You keep an array of pairs of:
- a WeakRef to the object whose lifetime should not exceed the use of the resource
- a thunk that releases the resource
A low frequency timeout scans the array collecting and compacting out any elements where the WeakRef has nulled or the thunk has fired, and schedules unfired thunks that correspond to nulled weakrefs.
This isn't timely in the way that proper RAII is, and it's basically writing your own GC in a GC which probably is an anti-pattern but then so are unhandled promise rejections.
modules addict) @olafurw Congratulations - you made it!
Merry Christmas!
@DanielaKEngert Thank you.
Yeah advent ends today but I had decided to go all of December. So 7 to go! :D
@olafurw Fun fact: Generative art (which is what a lot of creative coding is about) actually predates computer usage! Early generative artists would creative algorithms and the draw them as a human computer (combinatorial art)!
Artist Vera Molner was one of the first so both by-hand generative art and with a computer. She’s made some very cool stuff!
@olafurw Also: fun thing you’ve made. You kinda inspired me to maybe resurrect one of my creative coding ideas.
@torb Go Go Go!
@olafurw In case you want full game video (but not audio) I have a full playthrough (45 min including all trinkets) on Youtube.
@dascandy42 hehe appreciated but I think I'm done with VVVVVV for now.
@olafurw what language are you most excited for right now?
@GooseNinja Rust. Hands down.
