Un jeu d'action-plates-formes en deux dimensions où l'on incarne un samouraï, un assassin à la mémoire vacillante dans les bas quartiers d'une mégalopole néo-noire, La Nouvelle Mecque. Il est question de violence à outrance, d'une mise en scène hypnotique, demandant au joueur de la réaction et de la rapidité d'improvisation.
Un excellent jeu, très inspiré d'Hotline Miami pour l'ambiance et une partie du gameplay. J'ai aussi trouvé que l'histoire et la narration rappelait la série Metal Gear Solid.

For example, there are three eggs. The left egg is the largest and the front egg is leaning on its side. And from front to back, they are colored purple, yellow, and blue.
What? You do see purple, yellow, and blue, right? Uh... you don't? What colors do you see? Let's make sure that we are talking about the right file...The result is pretty clear: I have one picture (a PNG) that yields NINE different color sets! (Ten if you convert it to JPEG and use LCMS to render it.) The colors that you see are strictly dependent on the specific program that you use to view the image. Even something as minor as calibrating your video driver or patching your software could alter how the image is displayed.

This year, researcher David Buchanan tried to implement parallel decoding using the iDOT information. During development, he made a simple programming mistake and ended up making a wonderful discovery. He could create a PNG file with platform-dependent rendering. It looked one way on Windows, Linux, Firefox, and Chrome, and a different way on a Mac with default Apple applications, like the Safari web browser. (He found that Apple had implemented the same bug!) Buchanan provided two sample pictures (Hello World and computers) to demonstrate this per-platform rendering. It didn't take long for other people to use his code and generate other examples. Many of these images were uploaded to FotoForensics:
This person should be funded in a level that is appropriate for how critical log4j2 is used in the ecosystem. There is no excuse for this. This person's spare time passion project is responsible for half of the internet working the way it should.
TL;DR: If you want me to make you useful software, pay me. If you use software made by others in their spare time and find it useful, pay them. This should not be a controversial opinion. This should not be a new thing. This should already be the state of the world and it is amazingly horrible for us to have the people that make the things that make our software work at all starve and beg for donations.
How inappropriate data access patterns massively slow down programs and how the same problems arise with RESTful APIs.
Retrieving whole rows is hugely wasteful when only part of the row is required to resolve a user request. The issue becomes pronounced when: retrieving sub-parts of the data (projection), consulting multiple tables (joins) or digesting the dataset (aggregation).
RESTful API design consequently suffers the same problems as Active Record ORMs. [...] The largest class of API clients is separated from the server by high latency network links: mobile phones. [...] This means that accessing multiple API endpoints to resolve a single user request can take seconds - an appreciable annoyance to any user.
From ORMs: demand first class queries and transactions. Avoid Active Record style access patterns whether in ORMs or elsewhere.
Bank Python implementations are effectively proprietary forks of the entire Python ecosystem which are in use at many (but not all) of the biggest investment banks. Bank Python differs considerably from the common, or garden-variety Python that most people know and love (or hate).
I've said so far that a lot of data is stored in Barbara. Time to drop a bit of a bombshell: the source code is in Barbara too, not on disk. Remain composed. It's kept in a special Barbara ring called sourcecode.
it's possible to sit down, write a script and get it running in prod within the hour, which is a big deal.
Using simple Python functions, in a source controlled system, is a better middle ground than the modern-day equivalent of J2EE.
One thing I regret about software as a field is how little time is spent learning from existing systems and judging what they did well, or badly. There are only a small number of books discussing, in detail, real systems that exist.

I Want Out! is a retro pixel art point and click adventure game, using a 9-verb-interface like some 80's and 90's titles. But it's also a modern game with state of the art effects! :-P
It's a short game that should require about one hour of gameplay.
Un jeu d'aventure très bien réalisé, visuellement réussi, avec des énigmes cohérentes et une fin soignée.
Cette année, grâce à @kleph qui m'en a parlé, je participe au Advent of Code :
Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. People use them as a speed contest, interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, or to challenge each other.
You don't need a computer science background to participate - just a little programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get you pretty far. Nor do you need a fancy computer; every problem has a solution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware.
Très intéressante interview par Pierre l'Hopitalier d'un ancien responsable managérial avec qui j'ai beaucoup apprécié travailler :
Dans cet épisode, nous revenons sur quelques expériences, notamment le lancement par passion de son studio de jeux vidéo. Un studio qui cartonne avec un jeu vendu à plus d’un million d’exemplaires. Mais vendre ce n’est pas encaisser et cette aventure s’arrêtera par défaut de paiement des clients... Il ne touchera pas un centime sur le million d’exemplaires vendus !!
J’ai plaisir à revenir également sur son expérience chez OUI.sncf et notamment le rôle qu’il a joué dans la genèse du centre de service nantais. Thomas montera le centre de service from scratch et le quittera quand il atteindra la taille de 500 personnes !
Aujourd’hui Thomas est CTO de HiPay. HiPay est une plateforme de paiement. Nous parlons de roadmap dans une société où les idées et ambitions ne manquent pas.

You can test the demo for free on Steam.
I loved it, and given how much I liked his previous free games (Armless Kairo, Servants, Firekeeper...) I'm definitely going to buy the full game!
