During the past days, this great article by Sam Pruden has been making the rounds around the gamedev community. While the article provides an in-depth analysis, its a bit easy to miss the point and exert the wrong conclusions from it. As such, and in many cases, users unfamiliar with Godot internals have used it points such as following:

Godot C# support is inefficient
Godot API and binding system is designed around GDScript
Godot is not production ready

In this brief article, I will shed a bit more light about how the Godot binding system works and some detail on the Godot

The reverse turing test

I asked GPT-4 to come up with 10 questions to determine if the answerer was AI or human.

I provided my own answers for these questions and I also asked ChatGPT to answer them.

The result is that GPT-4 was able to correctly differentiate between AI and Human.

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.

GPG + Git SSH Authentication and Signing on Windows 10

Introduction

This simple Gist will explain how to settup your GPG key to work for SSH authentication (with Git) and Git commit signing on Windows 10. This may seem straightforward on Linux, but there are certain tweaks needed on Windows.

No Cygwin, no MinGW, no Git Bash or any other Linux emulated environment. This works in pure Windows 10.

I just published a blog post with a few other options and info on decluttering Google's search results page.

Background

While I'm learning how to use Nginx, I was instructed to update the server_names_hash_bucket_size (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) value from 32 to 64, but I don't understand why should I increase the value to 64.
