sirdorius,

He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto. In fact, he cites Marinetti as an inspiration, who was founder of the futurist movement, and later author of the fascist manifesto and a close supporter of Mussolini, so no surprise I guess. He enforces ideas that this century is just a bad rerun of the previous.

sirdorius,

I wouldn’t be surprised if the board is just doing what ChatGPT tells them to.

sirdorius,

Does this apply to all Chromium based browsers? I would like to switch to Firefox, but the touchscreen scroll there is terrible, and that is 90% of what I do in a browser.

sirdorius, (edited )

The deceleration is way too low and it’s hard to get it to focus where I want on the page fast. The deceleration is inconsistent between touchscreen and touchpad, which works fine. I tried looking around for configurations for it but couldn’t find any. Touchscreen support in Chrome is just generally better

sirdorius,

This is not a slight nuance, it literally makes touchscreen unusable for me. Touchscreen really helps with carpal tunnel and RSI, which is more important to me than an ideological war against Google.

sirdorius,

And use less energy since they don’t have to fight gravity

sirdorius,

I don’t want to give these people any ideas, but you can just pseudo randomize parameter names and decode them server side before storing them for analytics, so this is a non issue.

sirdorius,

Also check out creative coding which is pretty similar to shaders, but has a lower entry barrier IMO

sirdorius,

Of course the community driven, anarchic nature of Wikipedia is a threat to the status quo of capitalists dominating society. Musk can’t stand this, because it shows how ultra wealthy, incompetent dicktators like him are unnecessary.

sirdorius,

Time to put your tinfoil hat on and refuse to check any references for yourself.

sirdorius,

That’s totally expected. Besides, most of the Cities Skylines DLC were shit anyway. I mean building a zoo, seriously?

sirdorius,

Exactly, they completely miss the point of a city builder and don’t fit neatly at all into the main game systems. And the zoo example was just because I find zoos revolting.

sirdorius,

There is actually a C+, also called “orthodox” C++ gist.github.com/bkaradzic/2e39896bc7d8c34e042b

sirdorius,
  1. They don’t do the same thing so I’m assuming you’re trying to iterate over something like in n3
  2. n3 should theoretically be the fastest as there’s only one allocation and less branches
  3. Time it with get_ticks_usec() over a significant number of samples docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/…/class_time.html#…
  4. None of this will matter because GDScript is interpreted and the execution times vary wildly based on how the moon is aligned
  5. Premature optimization, yada yada
sirdorius,

I mean, can’t we just have both? On some days I want to see a silly lighthearted action movie and on some days I want to see a heart wrenching story about the deepest darkest recesses of the human mind. It’s not a zero sum game.

sirdorius,

You are assuming that if Marvel movies didn’t exist everyone would just go watch Requiem for a Dream instead, which is just silly. They target different audiences and the same people could choose to see one today and the other tomorrow. It’s not like Oppenheimer was made by a bunch of indies scraping money on Kickstarter.

sirdorius,

whats your unconcious sign that you really really like the game you are playing

So i just noticed that when i really like the game at some point i will at once play the game and watch the stream/youtube wideo of the game( usualy speedrun or aome hardcore challenge). I noticed it recently with anno 1800 but now that i think about it i did that with tales of arise, eu4 ,kings bounty,total war,hades and...

sirdorius,

Night? More like sunrise and time to go to work

sirdorius,
  • Battle for Wesnoth
  • Mindustry is the clear winner though
sirdorius,

They also have rust in trust

sirdorius,

Hey you can’t use Jira, means you can get some real work done

sirdorius,

So this will apply to games that have already been distributed on stores as well? How the fuck is such a change in the terms even legal?

I guess this will mostly impact F2P mobile devs since they will lose most money from installs. The good news is that Godot is more than capable for those types of games.

sirdorius,

Honestly, what fucking editor are you using that doesn’t allow you to configure tab length? Wordpad?

sirdorius,

Vim has it, even Nano has it. It’s one setting away, set it once and forget it. If you use throwaway containers it would be hassle but I don’t understand why you would need to view code inside the container in that case.

sirdorius,

Just adding that you can also do Python - Rust interop fairly easily with something like github.com/PyO3/pyo3

So you can gradually adopt Rust for some of the more performance demanding parts and call them from Python. You will get a massive increase just from a simple rewrite. Though you would have the additional burden of 2 build toolchains. But as others have said, Rust is not just about the performance.

sirdorius,

Yes, in a good dev workflow mypy errors will not pass basic CI tests to get merged. Types are not really a problem in modern Python workflows, you can basically have a better type checker than Java out of the box (which can be improved with static analysis tools). The biggest problem with Python remains performance.

sirdorius,

I think that Godot GUIs are very limited compared to HTML+CSS. It’s not a huge problem for videogames since screens sizes aren’t going to vary as much as for a web app. But it would never work well for proper responsiveness on different screens.

sirdorius,

“Come on Ricardo, we have to release in prod before the weekend starts”

sirdorius,

Exactly. The only reason Java is remotely tolerable today is because of influences from those ‘fad’ languages. Kotlin and Scala were also fads when they came out, they just got adopted because Java was utter shit at the time. Hell, even Java was a fad at some point in time.

sirdorius,

Apparently I used it at its peak. It was the go to language for big data processing at the time

sirdorius,

I never used Scala 3 but was under the impression that the migration wasn’t as bad as Python 2->3 lichess.org/@/thibault/blog/…/y1sbYzJX

sirdorius,

Read that again. I didn’t mention anything about ecosystem, I said Java, aka the language and JVM. You can patch it up all you want with frameworks, it is still a shit language, had an absolutely useless GC up until Java 9 (20 years into its existence). Though it has gotten slightly less shit in the last couple of years. It is informed from years of working with Java 6 onwards. The fact that I don’t agree with your opinion doesn’t make me less informed.

sirdorius,

I can also tell you without any shred of doubt, that there are many Amazon teams that absolutely hate Java and would rather build their stack on top of anything else (except PHP, which is rightfully prohibited company wide)

sirdorius,

lysdexic keeps talking about Amazon but has no clue how it works. Take it from someone who recently worked in AWS. You are right in all your points.

sirdorius,

Yes, some “guy’s” personal taste matters, because if employees hate it, over time they will stop using it. When you get paged at 4AM because some NPE popped up in prod that could be avoided by any sane language you will think twice on the next stack you build. And since when does popularity equal quality?

sirdorius,

I played KSP on Epic because it was free, but I hate Epic so much that I just bought it on Steam instead since I really liked the game.

sirdorius,

It’s a competitive game. You have to be able to recognize features as fast as possible and a vibrant color scheme can help with that. And I just like seeing things without turning max brightness and going in the basement. There is no need to set some mood here with a dark gothic color palette

sirdorius,

Haha, good joke.

sirdorius,

Exactly. Visual clarity is not just for the players, which can get used to anything after thousands of hours of play, but for spectators as well which will not have the same dedication.

sirdorius,

That’s why it’s so weird. You’re an adult in that game.

sirdorius,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty

sirdorius,

Exactly. And if you you’re worried about dirtying your commit history with an unfinished commit, just rebase it out later.

sirdorius,

It’s an incredible game, but it took me something like 20 hours just to finish the first act, and I just don’t have the patience anymore for a 100+ hour long RPG. The combat is really good overall, but I didn’t like that movement and attacks use the same pool of AP. Compared to something like XCOM, this forces you to be very static since moving is basically wasting an attack, or it makes movement abilities like jump and the likes extremely OP.

sirdorius,

It’s kind of funny reading that article as it’s basically saying longer games make for longer work hours from the perspective of a games journalist. Must be pretty annoying to get through some 60 hours of same-ish game just to get a review out.

sirdorius,

I like to hate on Ubisoft as much as the next person, but hasn’t this already been disproved like a week ago? lemmy.world/post/2109249
