Thirteen.h now has controller support on windows.
https://github.com/Atrix256/Thirteen

Thirteen.h is a header only C++ library that inits a window in one line and gives you pixel access. It also gives frame time, keyboard and mouse state, and now controller state for up to 4 controllers, letting you quickly create interactive graphical applications. It supports Windows, Mac, Linux and WASM.

If anyone is interested in implementing controller support for Mac, Linux, or WASM, it would be very much welcome!

After only a few minutes trying out the compiler, I was exhilarated—the machine could generate machine code faster than I ever could by hand! My mind raced with the possibility. Soon, it became an obsession—every minute not spent compiling felt like time wasted

"Age verification" laws are "we want to have all adults and their complete online profile in a database" laws, and that Persona, the company behind LinkedIn, Roblox, Discord ID and age verification is owned by Peter Thiel should be all you need to know.

When exactly did we start to think that the point of humans was to be productive, instead of thinking that the point of productivity was to take care of humans?

Interesting framing of “centaurs” vs. “reverse centaurs” in this essay about AI

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage

AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

I've switched the OS for my home PC to bazzite linux.
It has sane secure defaults and Just Works.

I've been a windows user since win95, but I've had it with the total lack of ethics / self-restraint that microsoft has.

Good riddance.

From @mmalex :

"
i cant believe i never realised before that to make a bitmask with set bits in [x0, x1), you can just do `mask = (1u<<x1)-(1u<<x0);` (obviously be sure that 0<=x0<=x1<32). ive used the degenerate case with x0==0 a billion times, but never thought to extend it. doh.
