Pretty sure a moderate amount of self-hatred has been a prerequisite of using C++ since the beginning 😅

Did we just reinvent gradient descent?

The real life hack may be the rotisserie chicken costing even less 😅

I think you get to add an extra page every 10 years. That sounds right

You are constructing a tiny iterator that just returns the next item in the sequence on each invocation. Even rust handles for loops this way (and it's generally pretty obsessed with performance/overhead)

Json with comments, and trailing commas, is kind of fine? Still prefer yaml, but a lot of people screwed up parsing that, and not its forbidden by many employers 🫠

If it's not that, it's probably the top-down mandate to vibe code everything

Honestly surprised how well the Linux + Steam thing works these days. Still took me 3 days to get a stable system, and suspend is kind of risky, but compared to a few years ago… might finally be approaching year of Linux on the desktop

Try over in East Boston. They had a way better selection of everything Central American when I lived over there

Nah, I read through that thread, and it’s white fragility alright. How dare other people have opinions about how we should be named in their own writing?

gold leaf is (loosely) both edible and conductive... we could in theory make this happen

I've never swapped out a Mac inside of 5 years, even for heavy development work. And some family members are using much older Macs - my mom rocks a 10 year old Air, my sister has an 8 year old one... Apart from the occasional battery replacement, these things are like tanks

You don’t think whoever wins the election will give him the Nixon-pardon to keep the peace?

It’s kind of strategy? A weird, all-the-corners-sanded-off strategy for sure

Should have seen blender 15 years ago. The modern blender UI is so incredibly usable compared to back then 😅

You are of course correct, my main contention here is that a bunch of C++ heavyweights were involved in Rust’s development, and they all agreed we didn’t really need those things 🤷‍♀️

The senior engineer -> manager pipeline is flowing well, I see 😂

"What if my terrain had overhangs?"
"What if my terrain were on a sphere?"
"What if it was a halo-like ring structure?"

... I know this disease well 😅

You'd think website owners would be more careful about generating previews for user-entered strings

Porcelain seems like such a difficult material to mill! That has to be a fascinating process

That's a really nice tree generator

They can CNC crowns on-site now? Medical tech advances are wild

Pretty much, yeah. But they presumably borrowed the terminology from image processing, where "kernel" is just a convolution matrix you apply to an image 🤷‍♀️

Pretty sure one of the defining features of old British guys is they always assume they won't actually be arrested. That sort of thing only happens to criminals!

Do many developers generate income from open source currently? I feel like its a pretty tiny minority in the first place

It’s easy to do 🤷‍♀️ decoupling things from the frame rate is a bunch of extra work and complications

Time to make a Creeper World 4-like?

Rejecting Rust because it didn't match one's desired flavour of OOP is honestly one of the all-time great reasons to reject rust

I haven't had a chance to check it yet out because my Windows box is in the middle of a brain transplant

*subtly hinting* (I feel like this sort of tool/game might do well with a mac/linux build)

Making Beautiful Top-down Worlds YouTube video by Eastshade Studios

I think the sweet spot is probably mixing and matching pre-rendered with a more traditional 3D world. Eastshade was doing some really neat stuff along these lines - www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPQ2...
