Typst is awesome and sooo fast! I literally ported my thesis mid-way to it and haven’t looked back since. Love it all the way.

tuto193,

There are official ones and there’s also github.com/qjcg/awesome-typst

I took one of those and easily adjusted it to my needs. It’s so easy and intuitive! And fast!!!

tuto193,

Not entirely agreeing, but there are some things that are not quite there yet. For me it’s mostly:

  • Bibliography sorting
  • Spellchecking
  • Syntax highlighting for lesser known programming languages like GDScript

Otherwise I don’t really have complaints. If anything LaTeX was the one thing setting me back (and don’t even get me started on Word).

tuto193,

OpenBoard is great. I’ve tried a few and it just feels like a privacy-focused version of G-Board

tuto193,

Was expecting a lot more Demon Slayer references here :(

tuto193,

There’s a 2nd already??!? Didn’t the first one come out like 2 days ago? And here I am waiting for Rivals 2 …

tuto193,

Same as with Martin O’Donell a few years back

tuto193,

Indeed. I also caught his personal gist with that last comment, and there seems to be lots of circle-jerking. I’m happy this community is not toxic (as far as I’ve experienced).

tuto193,

Oh, really? I never got to see that side of him thankfully). I don’t think he got any particular training though. He must’ve gotten the worlds filteres from amon his peers in the foundation. It’s a community effort in the end anyway.

tuto193,

Lol, for a second I thought you mean Greenbone OS when reading the title.

tuto193,

More (open/obvious) examples would be nice, but there’s already plenty out there. Maybe check the Asset Store. The main problem is the lack of availability for all versions. GDQuest (as already mentioned somewhere here) has plenty of examples, tutorials and demos for lots of stuff.

tuto193,

(Neo)vim. Has everything I could ever need.

clement, to gamedev

Are there testable demos for alternative game engines?

Hello everyone.

I am getting interest in alternative game engines like Open3D Engine, Godot, Flax, Stride, Bevy, etc...
But I'm surprised how hard it is to find any "playable" demos of these. The only things I was able to find were screenshots and videos, but no proper executable that shows off their performance...
Do you know any demo for any alternative engine (by alternative, I mean, not Unreal or Unity) ?

Thank you :-)
(this is my first post on an ActivityPub community, sorry if I didn't post it the right way)

@gamedev @gamedev @gamedev

tuto193,

And for Godot there is also the asset store, the Showcase, GDQuest’s own Demos tutorials and of course the couple of commercial releases (two of which had developer interviews this year: Usagi Usima and Cassette Beasts)

Which programming language(s) do you have in mind? Many already have built-in support for this (Go, Rust, Nim), while others have external tools you could use (Python->Poetry). Otherwise, if you want a “fast” (easy to understand) solution, a shell-script might be a fine solution.

If you want some real power, you could use the nix package manager (as already stated by other comments). It’s easy to install, but you need to learn how to use it, and with that you can easily share dev environments.

Review of modern terrain rendering/LOD methods?

I’m just looking for a good review of modern large-scale terrain rendering techniques. I’ve been reading about a few individually, various quadtree stuff, GPU clipmaps, continuous methods, but I don’t have a good grasp of the state of the art, performance comparisons between methods, what I should invest my time learning...

tuto193,

Don’t really know if this helps, but I’m using it as reference: LandscapeLab! is a landscape rendering tool and serious game. It’s very prototypical, and not really stable, but it looks quite nice.

tuto193,

I personally don’t like anything JS related. I would simply recommend Go, but even that is not really my go-to. I found learning Nim quite entertaining, and it’s middle -ground between Pyhton and Go, which can also target JS, if you want to.

Is the color named for the inside? I thought it was because of how they turn red, when they’re on their way to mate (link for reference)

tuto193,

What’s this from?

tuto193,

Funny name aside, this is literally one of the reasons, why I (and most people on the NW part of South America) am freaking traumatized by cockroaches. Having a single one of this fly at your face as soon as you turn on the lights of a dark (and maybe even moist) room, will give you a heart attack

tuto193,

“LatinX” was indeed the first attempt at a gender neutral description. “Latino” is still considered by many native speakers to be “neutral”, but the most feasible solution I’ve seen popping up is the “latine” (as in “estudiante”, “vigilante”, etc). Since it uses an explicitly non-gendered suffix, it is more correctly inclusive than the “latino”. It will take a while though, und until it is really widely adopted.

tuto193,

I don’t know where you come from or what languages (apart from English) you might speak, but:

  1. “Latin” in Spanish means the same on English: Latin, as in the sense of the language spoken by the romans. I don’t think there is a single Spanish speaking country that calls latine “latin”.
  2. Most languages (including Spanish) have gendered nouns. German even has 3. Swedish has 2 (although those are “common” and “neutral”.
  3. Language evolves with time. It’s not “professors teaching new words”, it’s actually society coming up with new words. The Swedish even got themselves (relatively recently) a new third person pronoun noun specifically for a neutrally gendered/ungendered person. It is now part of the language’s standards. Even the Germans are having quite difficulty trying to make their nouns more inclusive, since (like Spanish) most nouns are used in a “masculine is the standard” (for lack of a better description).

Hope that makes it clearer.

tuto193,

That is what I myself thought on the first place, but it’s more of a “global” movement. It’s not just “white people”, but rather also native Spanish speakers learning nuances of other languages, plus Gender Studies research, etc.

tuto193,

Well, I’m no expert. I just enjoy learning languages and am a native Spanish speaker myself. With regards to the grammar I’m quit lost in my own language, but I can tell you this:

  1. “le” is was and always has been neutral. It and the other examples I gave are just the basis that shows that Spanish is capable of implementing gender neutrality/equality.
  2. I don’t know if you know any Spanish, but every single noun is already gendered. This is more about pronouns getting another third person singular pronoun, and also trying to expand the base of the language and noun or adjectives that are already gendered to include this gender neutrality + equality.

I hope I could answer your question properly, but of not, feel free to elaborate.

tuto193,

I don’t know about videos, but here is an article

tuto193,

Well, a couple things to correct: “me gusta esta falda, pero no la quiero comprar” (la falda, therefore feminine “la”, so you were correct in your assumption :))

“Le pediré su número”, is more roughly transated to “I’ll ask for their number”, which like in English might shine some light on how you could be more specific, by providing extra information about the indirect object in question in your sentence to remove uncertainty: “Le pediré su número a él/a ella” (in your two cases)

Like I said, I’m no good when it comes to grammar, but I can tell you, that there are just so many languages, and many have features that others just don’t (like Russian has no article (definite or indefinite), Arabic has verbs that depend on the gender of the speaker, etc). With Spanish I just know that the biggest hurdles are the past tense, and the gerundive, but I can’t really point you to a good resource other than a book I kind of saw a while back: Pons. I read the “german version” (I think) for learning Spanish (I was tutoring at the time), and it was quite informative but dense. Maybe there’s something for you there as well.

If you’re not a techy person/power user, I would recommend staying with Kubuntu/Xubuntu (flavors of Ubuntu, that seem familiar to Windows users), or a more loved variant Linux Mint. You’ll have everything you need there, and your gaming will do just fine using Steam thanks to Proton. My first time (~2014) I went with Ubuntu, since it has an easy to use installer (like most distributions), with relatively sane default settings. Nowadays I would recommend Linux Mint or anything Debian based for the stability.

tuto193,

Apart from what has already been said (politics, basic UI) there are a couple more things worth mentioning:

  • Kbin’s interface is muuuch more customizable than lemmy’s: browsing form a web browser (desktop or mobile) let’s you modify your viewing experience as much as any mobile app for lemmy (but lemmly itself doesn’t). From infinite scrolling vs pages to font sizes and such.
  • kbin allows for (mastodon-like) boosting of posts, which is like a super-upvote that lemmy just doesn’t have.
  • on kbin you can subscribe to mastodon users aka federate with mastodon. Something that lemmy also can’t.

Other than that only personal taste matters in the end, and both federate with eachother, so enjoy it from wherever you are.

Twice a day: After breakfast and before going to bed.

The latter one goes with mouthwash, and at least once a week some floss. Has worked for me quite well. You might need some more depending on your genes, but it seems to be the golden middle I found for myself (and others who ask me), and even the dentist has yet to tell me to change anything in that routine.

tuto193,

Nice try, but we can all clearly see that those are two pictures of joker side-by-side.

My university already uses OSS as (StudIP), but they’re also hosting and promoting access to Matrix :)

This is missing one at the very top that’s just:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">return</span><span style="color:#323232;"> a </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;"><</span><span style="color:#323232;"> b;
</span>

kbin is written in PHP ;)

Literally don't personally care about boot time, as long as it's under 30-60s (currently at about ~5?), and since I reboot like once a month, I don't really pay much attention to it. How come you want to minimize that so much? Any particular target you want to achieve?

tuto193,

(from my gf): Rust is present. It just is in the bathroom right now ;)

Is there a Rust library like the 7zip suite that can extract all common archive and compressed file formats?

I’m looking to build something in Rust that requires being able to extract a variety of archive and compressed file formats, like various forms of compressed tar files, zip files, iso files, etc. The 7zip software suite is really good at both auto-detecting what format it’s in and extracting almost anything you throw at it...

tuto193,

Why is this 3 year old post still being shown on my front page. Even in this community’s Frontpage somehow…
