Maybe that should be amended

Their graphic showing which engines were lit was really cool

Vulkan isnt perfect but it’s the only open source step in the right direction and is enabling things like proton to exist.

Do they need 30k people to do that? No, of course not.

That is terrible, how tasteless

What cities are you guys talking about? My family and I are looking to move somewhere else in the next year or so

I wonder how long it's going to take for games to start generally supporting ARM. Getting Linux running well on M1/M2/etc.. seems like only half the battle for making a good gaming machine out of these.

"Since the Mesa driver no longer serializes GPU and CPU work, performance has improved a ton. Now we can run Xonotic at over 800 FPS, which is faster than macOS on the same hardware (M2 MacBook Air) at around 600*! This proves that open source reverse engineered GPU drivers really have the power to beat Apple’s drivers in real-world scenarios!"

Wow that's impressive!

I mean there’s a lot of that on Reddit too. Check out r/sino

I definitely agree with you. Though AMD's comeback with Ryzen really surprised me and I don't think other companies can't replicate comebacks like that.

After the Bulldozer fiasco who would think AMD would be where they are today?

Your game looks really neat! Wishlisted it. Can I ask what sort of tech stack you're building it on?

Rumor is Cities: Skylines 2 is getting announced today at the Paradox Interactive event

Alright who redpilled the ai on c++?

The Libera irc network has a lot of active rooms with different topics.

5 years sounds optimistic

Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs is a great book if you haven’t read it.

I was born in 1995. I love reading stories like this about the early days of software. My heart yearns for that time. Wish I was there, but accounts like these are the next best thing.

ARM support will be a hurdle for those games even with proton.

Yeah it’s notoriously cpu bottlenecked and doesn’t do much multithreading

It’s easy to maintain binary compatibility if a single company owns all versions and distros of an OS.

Similarly, I feel the same way about telling others about plans or small successes. I've had so many projects where I've made a prototype that is kinda cool, shown it off to friends, and immediately lost motivation to keep working on it.

I've made a rule for myself now that I can only show projects off if I've hit a point where my motivation is derived from my joy working on the project itself and not for gratification from others if that makes sense.

Bullshit. Had civilians not seen it the government would never have reported it.

How would you collect it?

There’s a lot of 32bit machines still around. There’s going to be a lot of problems in a lot of unexpected places

I've felt similarly about csgo. It's the game I always come back to when I just want to jump into a game and have some mindless fun. I used it as my tool to separate work from home when the pandemic started. I'd work my 8 hours then play an hour of casual csgo and that helped my mental health a bit.

I love the walmart and target subreddits for the same reason, the stories in there are hilarious

I’ve played Squad since the first day of early access. And I played Project Reality long before that. I have mixed feelings. I understand a game needs to receive funding to be continually updated. I’m fine paying some more money for new factions or maps. I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth out of Squad. I just worry this is going to be exploited to introduce non-immersive content the majority of the community doesn’t want. The creator of Squad, Offworld Industries, received a large investment from Tencent recently. Perhaps this is a product of that event.

I'm relatively young in my career, <5 years experience. I did a year at a company that forced me into meetings and planning for huge chunks of the day, nearly every day. It really made me develop a hatred for agile and all the process bullshit.

Recently this year I switched to a job that gives me hard problems to solve and turns me loose on them. I still need to attend standup and planning meetings but management is very hands off and respects my time. My productivity and love for my job has multiplied incredibly.

I think management can be a force multiplier or a complete anchor depending on their attitude. Some people need to be managed to be kept on task but for a lot of us who have a love for programming a hands off approach is much better in my opinion.

He can’t keep getting away with it :(

Works great on Proton!
