makotech221··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
its a hint to the western audience that they're supposed to be sad about this.
makotech221··on .NET (OK, C#) finally gets union types
Winforms, wpf, blazor, maui, avalonia, what are you talking about
makotech221··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
first major company to really nuke their main product via AI psychosis?
makotech221··on MonoGame: A .NET framework for making cross-platform games
Also check out Stride3d https://github.com/stride3d/stride, which is a more full featured engine built on (i believe) Monogame. Runs on .net 10
makotech221··on Unity's Mono problem: C# code runs slower than it should
Yeah I think Unity just doesn't have the technical skillset anymore to make the migration to coreclr. It keeps getting delayed and their tech leads keep dropping out.

Might I suggest https://github.com/stride3d/stride, which is already on .net 10 and doesn't have any cross-boundary overhead like Unity.

makotech221··on Andrej Karpathy – It will take a decade to work through the issues with agents
its incredibly stupid to believe general intelligence is just a series of computations that can be done by a computer. The stemlords on the west coast need to take philosophy classes.
makotech221··on No More Shading Languages: Compiling C++ to Vulkan Shaders [pdf]
Stride3d engine (https://www.stride3d.net/features/#graphics) has something kinda of similar; it allows writing in shaders in (nearly)c# and having them compile to GLSL
makotech221··on NexusMods Changes Hands
If you don't ban the nazis, you become a nazi site
makotech221··on Self-reported race, ethnicity don't match genetic ancestry in the U.S.: study
> For example those with genotypes that produce black skin predictably score lower on average on an IQ test

This is also nazi garbage. IQ isn't a real thing.

makotech221··on Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer (1987) [pdf]
i dunno ask the nft/memecoin/VR/3D-TV people. Sometimes the anti-new thing people are actually correct
makotech221··on Instant SQL for results as you type in DuckDB UI
Cool. Now, there's this thing called a joke...

makotech221··on Deregulated energy markets accelerate solar adoption
Gimme a break. Compare China's centralized economy's solar/wind/nuclear production to the entirety of the west's decentralized, privatized economy. not even close.
makotech221··on Shenmue (1999) reverse engineering reveals possible sun position oversight
wouldn't using an emualtor allow you to do most of that stuff
makotech221··on The size of BYD's factory
cool now compare the population difference.

In order to build renewable infrastructure, you do need to expend a lot of energy: mining, processing, transporting. China is using coal to build up that infrastructure and converting that dirty energy into clean.

makotech221··on Core: an experimental new way to write videogames
Try out Stride3d. Sorta like Unity, but pure c# engine and much better architecture.
makotech221··on Bioaccumulation of Microplastics in Decedent Human Brains
Very amusing that after decades of warnings about microplastics, there haven't been any studies to move beyond the point of 'maybe they cause issues'. We can all only assume that they do, of course, because any normal society not entirely captured by capital would allocate money to research this topic thoroughly. The fact that we haven't means that they know it causes issues but it would be costly to do cleanup.
makotech221··on Go structs are copied on assignment (and other things about Go I'd missed)
usually performance reasons; don't want to allocate on the heap, contributing to GC pressure, or you want pass by copy semantics
makotech221··on Biden proposes 30% tax on crypto mining
He's specifically proposing a ban lol
makotech221··on The One Billion Row Challenge in Go: from 1m45s to 4s in nine solutions
Dunno about Go, but most c# solutions are around 2s and under https://hotforknowledge.com/2024/01/13/1brc-in-dotnet-among-...
makotech221··on US Used AI to Help Find Middle East Targets for Airstrikes
So when the AI picks a school to be airstriked, hundreds of kids killed, we can all throw our hands up and say "oh it must've been a bug or something in the code" and dust our hands off. The banality of evil, truly.

makotech221··on Announcing Stride 4.2 with .NET 8 support
Distant Worlds 2
makotech221··on Demo: Fully P2P and open source Reddit alternative
Took about 15 seconds to download the app and display the first few posts. Come back in another 2 years.
makotech221··on The Rails Doctrine
The thing about building an opinionated framework is that sometimes your opinions suck. I hate using RoR at my job, I curse it every day. How in the hells do you think allowing gems to run their own code without being called is a good thing?
makotech221··on The AI Bubble of 2023
Talking to AI chat bots is the equivalent of talking to a parrot. I can't wait for the next market crash to wipe these ai and bitcoin companies off the face of the earth. Such a gigantic waste of human effort ( and carbon budget, in the case of bitcoin)
makotech221··on Nuclear power is too slow
The country that takes control of its energy policy seems to be doing fine

makotech221··on Nuclear power is too slow
Go look at china. They have 100x more clean energy than we do.
makotech221··on Activision’s faulty anti-cheat software
Lol we were lucky we had the ability to host our own servers back in the day. The IP owners have always had to full right and power to do whatever they want to extract as much profit as possible. We have never had any power over what they do.
makotech221··on Wildfires are destroying California's forest carbon credit reserves, study says
Carbon credits are a way for the capitalist class to white wash their climate crimes. I'm sure planting 10 trees will offset their daily personal jet flights...
makotech221··on Research Suggests That Software Piracy Lowers Poverty
this is literally just marxist analysis of capitalist economies, but expand the anti-piracy to "pro-private property"
