ASBR solved a VR heap corruption bug I'd been stuck on — cognitive scripting is no joke.

A Stark Black Reality
I ran this yesterday curious about the extreme cognitive enhancement, alongside Primal Nights and Khan Black. There were some wild almost psychedelic moments on my walks where it felt like adjustments were occurring. I decided to put off work on fixing one of the last major problems of my app until today. This is one of those typically very difficult problems: a heap corruption issue in VR development. Out of the blue this morning I realized the trivially simple solution was to experiment with alternative global allocators. With a little questioning of Bard and ruling out jemalloc due to cross-compilation issues, I decided on mimalloc, found an example pattern, and immediately removed the heap corruption issue — leaving a much more manageable logic error to focus on. Compared to the work I put in previously to resolve heap corruption in the past, this is definitely an improvement, and occurred entirely organically.
