>>106545360>optimization is badSome times this is true, there is a reason games pick 30fps everything else is cope, it's about optimization.
>>106545360So how do you then make good software if you aren't supposed to optimize, does the compiler do this?
It's always crazy to me how programmers give so many talks which are just basic shit you should learn in nearly any book you could pick up at random or any university course if you paid attention to anything, and then they make a name for themselves. This has to be the only field in STEM which actually has people regularly regurgitating the most basic stuff and making names for themselves as if it's a big intellectual revelation.
>>106545591People don't read books, it's not the stone age anymore.
>>106545615That's the problem, they'll be proudly semi-illiterate yet spend twice the time and effort watching youtube videos by someone whose parents unironically named him "Joe Blow" with straight faces, and in the end get half the payoff, then come to /g/ and ask why technology feels like it's going backwards.
Part of why I make games is so I can become a better programmer. Following Jon's logic, I shouldn't use an r-tree for static neighbor checking on a game server because just checking distance each event is "fast enough". Which is reasonable if your only goal was to make a game. But is it really?
Why should I ever listen to Jonathan Blow? Why are you so obsessed with him?
>>106545787>Why should I ever listen to Jonathan Blow? Why are you so obsessed with him?He is one of OUR lolcows.
He wants to be artsy fartsy but has absolutely plebeian taste and wants to pay people pocket change to work on his game while treating them like trasha nd living in the second most expensive place in Colorado.
I like Jon Blow, Terry Davis, and Tsoding mindset: Just don't overcomplicate your slop. Simple as.
>>106546094do you actually need to attach names to such a basic concept?
>>106546231No, but it makes you seethe, so I still won at the end.
>>106546237you think you "win" what, exactly?
>>106545360His loss either way.
>>106545733Joe is not short for Johnathan you dunce.
>>106545615Tate pls go
>>106545360literally who
>>106545591programmers are retarded and getting worse by the day
This guy is stupid as hell, mang
>>106545591yeah you would never get away with having the absolute audacity to give a talk in science or engineering about actual baby-tier concepts like thissoftware "engineering" is the only field where people regularly do this and it makes the whole field look stupid as fuck by association
>>106545591Nothing to do with the 2 minute video. Braindead post.
>>106545360>giving a single solitary shit about what jonathan "vulkan is bad because i am stupid and things should cater only to the most retarded of the population, even OpenGL is too much, the vendor published graphics APIs should be like raylib or SDL's builtin drawing library, having power and control over GPU hardware is bad and multithreaded SIMD is scary" blow says
>>106546727John Blowjob and the video is absolutely an example of that, it's literally Knuth's quote about premature optimization but dragged out into a talk that just doesn't need to exist
>>106546727
>>106546769>>106546969Why don't you do it then? Go give an easy talk and make some easy money.
>>106547000you don't get paid to give talks at conferences. it's the opposite, actually, you have to pay (on top of the attendee fee). what are you, 15?
>>106547027Arguing in bad faith, I stop here.
> you don't get paid to give talks at conferencesshitty bait
>>106546094what about ebassi
>>106545547early optimization is bad
>>106547032what part of that was bad faith? or incorrect? how is it you are able to breathe without grievous bodily injury?
>>106545615I read books, am currently learning javascript with a book
>>106547034depending on the conference the plenary speaker may recieve a small honorarium or get travel and lodging covered. all other speakers have to pay for the privilege. what the hell conferences are you going to?
>>106547078use the durgasoft, saar
>>106547141i make good javascript for good looking website saar
>>106547201ahh very good saar very good
