Understanding TS Generics better

I can't tell others how to write their libraries so that I can understand them easier. That's a given. That's also nonsense. I can do this with code at work though (which I do all the time). What I can do is learn how to read these things better. So I can decipher how others write their code.

But if you read the docs or take a bunch of courses you might not come away with a better understanding. I think it's just fine if your use cases are regular imperative code. When things are curried and you can write a signature for a function as a type within a type that's when things get more difficult.

And honestly, that's where I like to live. So it's time to do a little learning.

Problem statement

I was having issues with complex TypeScript generics/types. I wanted to figure out what was going on with the following function signature. I'm not used to generics espcially complicated ones. I'm fully aware that there are even more complicated ones but this isn't a dick measuring

CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

Using xclip to copy terminal content to the clip board:

Say you want to pipe shell output to your clipboard on Linux. How would you do it? First, choose the clipboard destination, either the Mouse clip or the system clipboard.

For the mouse clipboard, pipe straight to xclip:

echo 123 | xclip

For the system clip board, pipe to xclip and select clip directly:
