Friends, Any hotel / area of Tokyo you suggest I check out? I have 3 days.
Man, USB is neato. I'm already in love with differential pairs--such an elegant and simple solution to the complex problem of interference. A separate clock line would be vulnerable to interference. Could pair two clock lines. Ooor.. USB recovers the clock from the data lines.
Very cool. The Tron Ares CD sound track is styled to look like a 5¼-inch floppy disk. BUT this styling is a Japan-exclusive. Time to ship!

Programmers, Hit me with your links for fast data read from storage. Whitepapers, blog posts, ...
Is there something like the Steam Hardware Survey but for storage devices? Device type ([NVMe] SSD, HDD), interface (SATA, NVMe, USB-to-SATA), make & model
Wonderful video. I wish we could dedicate this much energy to all of our open source work. youtube.com/watch?v=QYM3TW…

How We're Redesigning Audacity For The Future
aaaAAARG C enum namespace polution. winnt.h has an enum POWER_INFORMATION_LEVEL with a value ProcessorInformation. The errors I was getting...
I might be filing my first Final Fantasy Tactics bug. 'Faith' is a double-edged sword. High faith means enemy magick spells hit you harder. But this text says the opposite.

Programming question: Windows on x86 has 64kb allocation granularity. This is because of behavior on non-x86 chips: devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20… Should each platform only have oddities for its own platform? Or should behavior be the same across platforms, so no surprises?
Oooohhh I did not know ASIO was an option for game dev. I need to look into this. (Also, I still think we need audio shaders.) youtube.com/watch?v=okIpbu…

Why PC Gaming Audio is Broken (and how it’s holding you back)
WELP I just did something super dumb that is preserved forever and publicly visible. Time to go to bed. (Nothing too terrible. Just made a claim on the PNG work and put in considerable effort for something that is easily disproven.)
Somehow, I never picked up on this comedy gem before. In the original Star Wars, "...and these blast points. Too accurate for sand people. Only imperial storm troopers are so precise."
Japan is amazing. They knew where she was exiting and what train she was on. So they could have a person waiting when the time came.
Its a country where even the smallest gesture carries deep respect. 🤝🇯🇵
Back in my day, installing Arch was a giant PITA. Uphill both ways.
I'm coming around to on-press buttons that @ID_AA_Carmack suggested. My dissent before was because on-release allows the user to cancel. But there are surely better ways to cancel or undo than awkward click-holding and retartgetting. I'm a believer now.
There has to be a better UI element for scrolling a large list than a scroll bar. Think scrolling back in chat history. Or an infinite scroll like this site. But I don't know what it is.
There is SO MUCH good, free content out there. I am pretty sure a teacher could just curate some YouTube videos and blog posts instead of teaching the content themselves. And then, that teacher could focus on assisting students & refining the curation based on feedback.
