Blog

I have written a lot of stuff over the years in various places, and though I have categorized it various ways, a lot of it is kibitzing (or outright ranting) about one-off topics. This blog is an attempt to merge all the reasonably good stuff (or stuff that I have revised to be presentable again) into one place.


The following are in reverse-chronological (newest-to-oldest) order:

  • Stop. Worshipping. Consciousness!

  • Washington Park π

  • Ingenious Pessimizations: Bit-Scan

  • In Defense of 'Mantissa'

  • What the OpenGL Swap Interval Parameter Actually Means

  • The Minimum You Need To Know About Timekeeping

  • On the Unreasonable Difficulty of a Particular Cosine Integral

  • Stop Using GMT!

  • Use A Modern Language Already

  • Checked Exceptions

  • camelCase Is Illegitimate

  • TABs vs. Spaces

  • Test-Driven Development is Stupid

  • Don't Write Test Cases

  • Criticism

  • Which Axis Is Up?

  • Get Gravity Right Already

    -->
  • How to Pronounce 'GIF'

  • The Go-To Statement is Good, Actually

  • So you want to be a hacker?

  • So I have this game idea . . .

  • Shared Libraries are Bad for You

  • Java Is Not Faster Than C

  • Java Is Bad For You

  • C# is Worse

  • Write Games, Not Engines
