This has to be sarcastic right?

So do you keep it chilled 24/7 or do you turn it on manually or with a timer?

My main point is: if GDScript isn't good enough, go straight to c++ directly in the Engine.

I won't even get into how big of projects I've written in GDScript successfully.

Writing C# in godot is a bad choice. Use GDScript and directly write c++ as a module. Skip "HD extension" completely. Godots build system is easy enough to use. Just add new classes to the engine using c++ if you don't want to use GDScript. The GDScript workflow is honestly great. Using C# is like the worst of all worlds.

How do you create/store the ice?

I find it distasteful when women write articles about mens inner emotional lives. Why couldn't the NYT find a man to write this article?

"wouldn't pass fang interviews"

Bellard wouldn't apply and be interviewed like some Stanford grad. He would be head hunted and told he can do whatever he wants and receive a massive amount of compensation.

I'm not sure why you woulf assert he wouldn't pass the interview that seems totally outrageous.

I have a 17" XPS and it's great as a computer for that floor of the house. Ie: for sitting at the kitchen table or the couch. I have a 13" for portability which is great because it's so small and light.

MacBook pros these days are really heavy. Having a MBP and an Air is actually a fair inventory but the MBP is just so expensive.

I do like the desktop form factor of keyboard and monitor but the 17"er is nice to use while I'm up making coffee in the morning or while sitting on the couch at night

What's your angle on the Chamath link? Is Nvidia greasing Sack's favour through Chamath?

Congratulations to Chamath

I also strongly disliked luas syntax at first but now I feel like the meta tables and what not and pcall and all that stuff is kinda worth it. I like everything about Lua except some of the awkward syntax but I find it so much better then JS, but I haven't been a web dev in over a decade

So many of these voxel engines suck, but it appears that this person totally nailed it. Bravo

Seems totally pointless to throw his own community under the bus with the initial paragraph. The first paragraph serves no purpose other than illuminate that ginger bill didn't want to write this, and is only writing it because we are too stupid to read his documentation.

When I lived in a different country, I could read as much cnn as I wanted. Now that I live in the USA, I need a subscription. So I am less informed on us politics now that I live in the USA. Ironic.

I used to have withdrawal symptoms when I didn't have coffee, now I don't have those. But yes, the alone time in the morning is critical for me.

Like a single header c lib from some eastern European S tier programmer.

Maybe the way to really hit windows is to put pressure on the gaming companies to support steam os

This is reductive black and white thinking that simply refuses to deal with the real problem that I clearly illustrated.

Microsoft windows is a critical tool that society continues to build dependence on. The poorly executed redesigns of key windows features has consequences unlike the vast majority of software systems.

With Microsofts great power, comes great responsibility.

Try telling these reasons to your aging father who no longer understands how to print a file the government sent him because windows has changed windows explorer so much that he doesn't even understand that it's part of the OS anymore.

The disaster that is the ever shifting UX of windows is having serious harm on our senior citizens.

I've fielded several issues like this from many different seniors I know.

We've left these people behind and it's a shame that is having serious consequences.

Yes, things are better under the hood. But the surface, the UX, is a mark of shame on our entire industry.

Human speech is "engineering data flow"

Painting is "engineering data flow"

Directing a movie is "engineering data flow"

Playing the guitar is "engineering data flow"

This statement merely reveals a bias to apply high value to the word "engineering" and to the identity "engineer".

Ironic in that silicon valley lifted that identity and it's not even legally recognized as a licensed profession.

It's "we think windows sucks"

And they are right.

The enshittification of windows is by far the most egregious example in modern software.

Windows is disgusting. The start menu is disgusting. The bloat, slowness, lack of design cohesion and flakiness has real consequences.

Its not "you suck" it's "windows used to be better" and to me it seems objectively true that it used to be better

For everyone talking about anti cheat, you can just install windows then, right?

I priced out an upgrade for my machine: Radeon 9070XT, motherboard and PSU, coming in at roughly $1000. Part of me knows I should probably just buy this instead.

I heard the dryer in those is slow and breakable. Does it take forever to dry stuff?

Exactly. And it should. The "CHIPS Act" should be thought of as a perpetual blank cheque to whoever can build the components necessary to build war machines completely with North American components (primarily USA components but Canada will have some impact)

I run mint as well and really love it's esthetic. I prefer AMD GPUs on Linux and they have always "just worked".

I know how to use the terminal to enforce deep sleep on laptops, but thats about all I do setup wise.

Yes, sorry

I think the US Gov probably "incentizied" Nvidias stake in Intel, and I wonder if they did here as well.

It's like "if your going to sell chips to China, you have to spend some of the money funding non-Chinese tech".

Nokia's capabilities to deliver 5G networks is a direct competitor to Huawei, right?

Is Nvidia functionally an strategic hedge fund of the US Government? Would this fall under Jeffrey Sach's realm?

Maybe the intellectually stimulating job made him more predisposed to needing the constant dopamine drip of the screen.

Why is the "DNS Planner" and "DNS Enactor" separate? If it was one thing, wouldn't this race condition have been much more clear to the people working on it? Is this caused by the explosion of complexity due to the over use of the microservice architecture?
