  • I think the argument about “for accessibility” is missing the point a little bit and a common mistake most developers make.

    You should endeavour to make your interface accessible by default. You shouldn’t be thinking in terms of “okay here’s the design and here’s the design that’s accessible”, you should be considering accessibility in all of your designs.

    Now that’s usually a bit harder with games because you have styles and themes that you don’t want to detract from, but if your interface causes accessibility issues, it’s generally going to be bad for people that don’t have accessibility needs as well.

    Accessibility benefits everyone.







  • There’s a lot of people in this thread that are either slightly delusional or utterly gaslighting themselves.

    Reddit is not going to die over this. Reddit was always full of bots and shills astroturfing, none of that was new. And while many great contributors have left the site for good, the traffic to the site hasn’t really dropped. The vast majority of (actual) Reddit users were using the main site and app, despite how terrible both are.

    Sure the quality of content has objectively dropped, but do you think Reddit cares as long as traffic doesn’t?

    We’re all here talking about Reddit and saying how shit it is now, how spez can go fuck himself, having ourselves a great little circle jerk, but Reddit gives no fucks.

    It’s time to get over our ex. She’s moved on, she doesn’t miss us and it’s time we moved on too.




  • In 99 cases out of 100, you won’t be able to hand craft assembly better than a good compiler can - partly due to compilers being much better and partly due to the skill level required. 20 or 30 years ago compilers weren’t as good and a reasonably competent person could craft more optimised assembly but these days compilers are pretty damn good and you need some extra level of ability to best the compiler.

    However, there’s still that 1 time out of 100 and given how resource intensive ffmpeg is, it’s worth spending that extra time to hyper optimise the code because it’ll pay off massively.
