@MrSprinkles1F369 Not only it was well explored at the time but it was so explored that during the 90's, researchers started thinking that neural networks were a deadend. It was only during the 2000's and advancements in GPU making that neural nets became viable. Lessons to take out: 1 - don't let anyone tell you your field is solved or a deadend 2 - be thankful to the gaming industry for financing the development of GPUs
The skateboarding tangent was good - its also perfectly describing the "hacker mindset" of "How can I use this in ways it wasnt intended/to my needs". A curious way of thinking is the root of creativity in general.
my brain when I learned that you can get program exit codes from sys calls so I can make little function helpers with out having to link them or care what language they are written in lol.
@@benyamynbrkyc I am pretty sure that you can make this even better if you abuse threads libary in c and equivlent in more modern langs, where you have the thread itself use the pthread exit fucntion and drop the code while having the core program recall a new thread, this lets you use the exit code to handle reading 1 char at a time from a tcp/udp connection quickly, like that is mega hacky lol.
Absolutely continue tangenting into skateboarding. It’s a really good metaphor for progression in general whether it’s skateboarding or computer science. It really puts into perspective why a kid getting on a skateboard in 2024 is able to progress at such a higher level than a kid getting on a skateboard in 1992. The same can somewhat be said for programming, at least what you’re able to accomplish given the same amount of energy. I also respect the Gonz mention. He was/is absolutely incredible.
Wait a minute. As a Brit can someone explain to me when and how Winston Churchill became an awful thing? Beans on toast might be awful but I live it and it is far healthier than most of the crap I had to eat while working on San Jose and Mountain View for a year.
Only things I could think of are ANZAC and the Indians during the Great War. And people flipping hard to the other side when they figure out that Churchill was not a perfect man.
I believe people think he's 'problematic' because he was a pretty hardcore monarchist and also big on keeping the empire (the colonies). He was also something of a war hawk, wanting to start a fight with Russia because he felt communism was bad, and given many's political affiliation these days, I wouldn't be shocked if they somehow find that insulting. He also spoke his mind freely, so I would be shocked if there's one or two things he said that people over inflate and judge him for. So yeah, essentially what the guy above said, Churchill was a man of his times and he was not perfect. and therefore must be denigrated by the perfect sinless people of this era (ha!).
Churchill did some pretty awful things before WW2. Of course it doesn't change the fact the man pretty much singlehandedly saved Western Europe from Germany or the USSR.
Justin Frankel may not be on the list for many as a legendary programmer, but his work was definitely inspiring as he was around for a very cool time in the history of information technology, music (winamp) and filesharing (gnutella). He got the bag a long while back, yet is still helping develop Reaper, the well respected digital audio workstation.
I'm old enough to remember gaming way before FPS, there were several games that by all definitions were FPS before Doom, my personal favorite first experience was Dungeons of Daggorath for TRS-80 Color Computer from 1983, also Maze War which predated home computers in 1974.

i think the second uber epic thing legendery devs do is less legendary (not like it isnt impressive) but onec you have a large portion of the dev community put eyes on your projects (even one that could theoretically start out pretty mid) you have access to so much resources to make the project a success be it feedback or pull requests or people to discuss ideas with

Nothing else is that comfortable and sounds good anywhere close to that price.... well, 9600s :\
Do you think that's all he ever was? Try looking up the Silvertown explosion or Gallipoli and you'll find out some of the *other* things he's responsible for
Hey @theo, your channel your choice, but sometimes I have kids running around, so could you ask your editor to bleep the swearing? Idk if you want it in, but your takes are energized enough without it IMO.
The Nvidia F You moment worked. I read the other day that Nvidia was release drivers for newer GPU's as Open Source. Everyone makes such a fuss about Linus' bad behaviour. It's no such thing. He is from Finland. I have learned from decades of living here that Finns speak little but when they do it is direct. None of that ever so politely talking around an issue just get to the point, state you can and move on. Nobody is offended by it.
@@itzhexen0 What kind of nonsense is that? You do know that 99% of right thinking people are wrong. Including yourself apparently. You are wrong because: 1) Linus was not talking about users he was talking for developers. 2) The Linux kernel (open source) devs must have spent hundreds of thousands of hours making sure the closed source Nvidia drivers worked smoothly in their OS. Quite successfully. The opposite of "can't do anything". 3) Things would have progressed much more smoothly and easily if the Nvidia drivers were open source. Beneficial for both Nvidia and the open source devs. 4) Nvidia effectively leeched off the free work of said developers. Hence the "Nvidia F You" moment. Just Linus's way to ask Nvidia to be more cooperative. For the benefit of both.
I'm sad I never knew about Kathleen and her primarily being responsible for Assembly. I hope it wasn't just because she was a woman. Like, I'm 44 years old and never heard of her in my 26+ years of computer programming? WTF.
Wolfenstein was before DOOM. And there were games before Wolfenstein. Carmack and co, just had the *incredible* privilege to develop games _exactly_ at the time computers saw *INCREDIBLE* performance leaps and thus could develop a game like DOOM. Carmack is brilliant, honestly brilliant. But I have a hard time with hype that is unreasonable or just historical claims that aren't true or contextualized properly.
When I played both games in the early 90's it sure felt spectacular. So the hype was real back then. There weren't many games that could come close or even improve on it. I remember System Shock, but that didn't play well on my 486SX 25mhz 🤣
@@namcos And before that you had games like Battlezone and Elite, games not developed by the Id Software team. But Wolfenstein was arguably Id Software's first FPS that saw substantial success (which then ofc would be blown out of the water by Doom and later Quake - but still) The point was, Doom wasn't first. Carmack and that team wasn't even first when it came to FPS games, which was my point.
"If I disagree with Carmack, I'm probably the one who's wrong"... That's how good Theo is as a programmer. Just below Carmack. Even then, there's some probability that he is right...
On big projects you usually have standalone backend. nextjs is great for backend for frontend type of backend, so the backend which talks to your other services. It's also kinda good for a startup I guess, because you can skip the services part and do your database calls in the "bff" layer directly.
