This one's been around a long time. I used it when I started with Vulkan back around 2017/18? It uses glfw but I used sdl2 with it when I went through it. You'll just need to read some sdl2 documentation to get the window hooked up.

My friends and I have a C&C Generals night a couple times a year. We use the Rise of the Reds: Babushka's Revenge mod, which is sort of a mod of an old mod. It balances things out quite a bit and adds some new stuff. I think it includes widescreen support

I’ve been using searxng for a while. It works very well in my experience

I'm hosting my blog on machines running at home accessible via a Cloudflare tunnel. It works very well in my experience. And it's nice not having ports open to the internet or having to mess with dynamic dns.

Goodreads scratches an itch in my stupid monkey brain by tracking everything I've read. I gain some satisfaction/sense of accomplishment looking back at stuff I've read. I should probably find a better way to track my reading

That’s a great example. Thank you

What’s an application where you’d absolutely have to have a graph with negative weights? Couldn’t you just preprocess the edges and normalize their weights?

IntelliJ definitely shows the arguments lol

My wife left me the day sqlite came out

A Dolphin build for iOS exists and works well. You just have to jump through a bunch of hoops to sideload it. See https://altstore.io/

A couple years ago I came into a company that had recently switched almost everything to Kubernetes. The company expected the devs to learn how to own and operate the cluster. Most of the devs there couldn't care less about anything except how to deploy their code to it (probably rightfully so). But I was shocked to find the k8s api was exposed to the internet and unauthenticated.

I brought the problem up with the higher-ups and they were pretty lethargic about it. Moral of the story I guess is if you're gonna choose to operate infrastructure like Kubernetes make sure you have experienced people trained to do so and don't expect your devs to wear another hat.

I liked the music in the trailer linked there :)

Depends on your use case. Queueing messages enables the competing consumer flow which implicitly allows load-leveling which is great if your traffic is spiky and you need a little time to auto-scale or other scenarios like that. If you’re just looking to blast out data to all consumers or just load-balancing is fine, approaches like yours are probably better.

MQTT is a protocol. Nats is a server that supports MQTT among other things

It’s interesting how wildly the “politics” of a small congregation can vary. I’ve been a part of a number of small/medium congregations and some have been very great and wholesome experiences where I felt uplifted and grateful to serve alongside others. And others have been terrible, gossipy and judgemental/racist/sexist/etc… Mind you these were all congregations of the same denomination in the same general region of the US. I truly wonder what makes the difference. I suspect the leadership of these congregations really set the precedent for what their congregation will act like.

Abstractions over the low level apis (opengl, directx, vulkan, metal) have gotten a bit popular in recent years. I think some driving forces behind it are inconsistent support of some apis on some platforms (i.e. opengl on macos) and maybe also a desire to support some of the newer apis (Vulkan or dx12) without going all in due to their complexity/verbosity.

I've been playing with wgpu-rs, bgfx, and a couple others in the past and they work pretty well for the most part. At this point I think I'd still rather choose just Vulkan for a new project though.

You’re right It’s there but they don’t make it easy to get a feed. I also like having a single feed with new vids from every channel I’m subscribed to on invidious which I don’t think is possible on YouTube

I've been discovering different tools to make the content I consume available via RSS. Some of those tools:

nitter: Alternative Twitter frontend that provides RSS feeds

teddit: Alternative Reddit frontend that provides RSS feeds (Reddit itself still has RSS feeds, we'll see how that plays out though)

rss-bridge: Can generate feeds for a ton of different sites. I use it for Twitch feeds.

invidious: Alternative YouTube frontend that provides RSS feeds

It's been refreshing to subscribe to the feeds I want to see and not have "recommended" content stepping all over what I want to see. Recent trends make me worried some of these services are going to go away in the near future though.

I’d like to think that people might use this opportunity to move to distributed options like rss with forums operated independently or maybe federated alternatives but neither of those options are easy enough from an end-user standpoint to get traction against the next big link-aggregator site

This is a paradox published game sooo I’d guess it’ll include some stuff, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before they release a game with everything included

Peter Shirley is a University of Utah guy right? His Ray Tracing in One Weekend series is brilliant

Why though? We’re so good at short term solutions to shoddily patch the problem but can never find the long term, real solution.

It’s insane to me they had stuff like terrain following working in the early 80’s

I'm glad others feel this way. My coworkers look at me like i'm a psycho when I talk about coding on side projects on the weekends.

Old School Runescape recently released a feature called "group ironman" that lets you play the game while only being able to trade with or assist others in your small >=5 man group. I made a small service that periodically scrapes the game's hiscore data and generate reports and metrics about the group's progress. And then a Discord bot to interact with the service

It’s not free money though.

There are many careers that can be attained without college. And there are many careers that can be attained after college that will easily pay for the loans that were taken. The problem seems to be individuals taking loans and either not finishing school or making a bad decision in a degree. I don’t see why that burden should be placed in the taxpayer

Would educating young people better about finances and loans help the situation?

I don’t know if it’s not but I question why the symptoms are being treated and not the root causes.

Why is college so damn expensive, why are people getting useless degrees, etc…

If the terms of the loan required they be paid back in full why is it morally acceptable to forgive them partially/fully? And why would it be okay to use tax funds to do that?

These are genuine questions I’m trying to understand the thinking I see on here and Reddit about this issue
