Music to my ears, given that the waste of oxygen that is the Infosys owner, has such gems to share

Would be happier if the contracts of these WITCH companies are terminated citing how poorly they treat their employees

DaisyUI is the best IMO, as long as you are willing to customize the theming and the rounded-ness. Daisy's default themes don't look that great IMO.

Doubt that. Frequency will be tied to heat dissipation. And in a 3d stack, the heat dissipation of the inner transistors is going to be very difficult

> Fast Compilation Onyx's compiler is written entirely in C and features incredibly fast compilation. The web-server for this website was compiled in 47 milliseconds.

Ok, that got my attention. Its refreshing to see a new language which doesn't takes 10 seconds to build a Hello world example.

Couple of questions;

1. The Windows installation is a bit tedious. Any plan to support Scoop for installing Onyx?

2. Given that gamedev seems to be a focus, with the raylib integration, how is the performance compared to something like c. Will a comparable onyx program get me to at least 50%+ of the performance of c? I haven't used webassembly much so I am curious how this works out.

I was just thinking of creating a new project to try out Raylib 5. So your post has perfect timing for me!

Best of luck to your language. Looks lovely in the online playground. Now going to set it up on my device

oh! thanks for correcting me there. I didn't know that it was a new company using the old game.

Given that I am super interested in the indie titles they are publishing right now I will still be cheering on for the new company!

OpenAI before ChatGPT (or even now) isn't even in the same ballpark with Google, MS etc as far as regulatory oversight goes.

Google has far too many services and products which are always touching the boundaries defined by the EU privacy laws. they trip the line with anything and the regulators can make it much harder/costlier for Google to do business in EU.

Microprose. 90s pc strategy gaming powerhouse. still chugging along today - publishing indie strategy titles.

If you are Indian, its so much easier to report spam (but of course not easy enough! TRAI, while seems to have good intentions here, is pretty much a luddite where tech & UX are concerned).

make sure your number is register in DnD. Use the official DnD app to register a compliant https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=trai.gov.in.dn...

The app rating should have given you a clue that the app is quite a crapfest, but it is still better than the steps folks in US have to wade through. it takes a couple of clicks and a short few typed words to raise the complaint.

Another way is to simply send a sms to 1909 as

> “<Content of UCC, including Referred Telephone Number (RTN) if any>, <header/telephone number from which UCC has originated>, <dd/mm/yy, hh:mm>”

the schema is different for all ISPs, but in general none seems to adhere strictly to the schema as long as the datetime, phone number and comma delimiters are correct.

Here is the link from airtel on the way to file such complaints; https://www.airtel.in/business/commercial-communication/asse...

ISPs are required by law to folloup on these and once you have sent the sms, you will get update smses for your complaint.

I usually just use the DnD app and when that isn't working, I send the sms. the schema i can get from my sms history and just change the caller id, phone and date. And in return I get the satisfaction of getting the update about the phone number of the violater being barred or limited to 20 calls in a month.

What's up with memristors now? I remember there being so much hype around it some years ago. Are they coming to computers any time soon?

Not an apple user, so likely missing some context, but why is the comparison between M3 Pro and M1 Pro? I think a more logical comparison would be between M3 Pro and M2 Pro.

Likely the Quebec privacy laws which are gdpr equivalent in many cases. This forces tech companies to create a different experience for Quebec vs rest of Canada. As neither have enough user size, it's often easier to skip Canada altogether till the team has the spare bandwidth for this.

I just moved from typescript to javascript and for me it was just that I own the database, i own the api surfaces and as such I don't need to enforce any kind of type checking as the api schemas are sufficient for my case.

I would definitely use type safety if I had a lot of external data sources. or if there are lots of people working with me. Otherwise, I am beginning to go back to dynamic languages at least for web dev.

Quasi stars are one of the theories for the existense of the super massive black holes. Here is a nice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeWyp2vXxqA by Kurzgesagt on this topic.

Do companies really ask for case studies in PM interviews? I generally have an hour with my candidates and generally have them cocreate features with me

Unicode being an utter cluster fuck is my takeaway from this as well. Are there any alternatives to Unicode? Maybe something which has a single grapheme code point and uses utf32 for the encoding. Or anything else saner than what we have today?

I always had a layman pet theory that Planet 9 is a BH, and not just any BH one but the one who's supernova remains seeded the solar system with heavier elements. Sort of like old grandpa blackhole looking after his/her small kid.

as a Hyderabadi, I fully approve of mutton biryani posts in HN. :D Probably, my current favorite dish. Have been eating it multiple time every week for decades now and its charm has never faded. That said, it does play havoc with your triglycerides.

I am making digglu.com, which is supposed to be old-digg-like link aggregator site. I would have it out by now if only I could stop procrastinating T_T

Isn't that how oss works? You should be able to add bounties to your fork. Then zig team can choose not to merge these if they want.

That is glorious. I would recommend that you post it as its own thread.

Thank you. It worked perfectly for me. I was doing most of these but I was messing up the include path. your code samples helped me fix the issues in my build file. Have a great day!

Would you have any tutorial on how to do this? I am unable to get zig .11 to work with the latest raylib without binding libs. I am not sure what all changes I need to make to build.zig

I have used love2d for a lot of small projects and highly regard it (and absolutely LOVE its community. Personally love2d & Rust have been the most helpful communities I have ever interacted with). But it is NOT a unity replacement. Not even for 2d. Its a framework and not an engine. which means that you have a core engine and there are some community libraries in various states of completion/support that you can use. Else you end up doing everything by yourself.

Let's say, you want to do UI, then there are 4-5 options ahead of you and you will no know how well these libraries are maintained till you use them. Very likely you wil find yourself mucking about the code of these libraries to fix weird bugs or adding a feature your game needs.

So, great for prototyping and learning about game dev. But not something I recommend for actual projects with dates.

Overall IMO, the closest to Unity alternative I can recommend are;

1. Godot 2. Defold 3. Gdevelop (HTML based. No-code development, which can make people love or hate it) 4. CTjs

If you are ok with paying for the gamedev - Gamemaker is another solid choice.

Each of these have their pros and cans, but are full fledged engines with huge communities and helpful resources to go with them.

And if an editor free engine is what you are looking for , Raylib would be highly recommended.

My personal requirements would be;

* 2d focused * huge community with tutorials & documentation for everything * libraries & extensions for all the usual gamedev stuff like camera, lighting etc. * asset protection baked in * console & mobile export targets. * Steam integration

Personally, I am personally leaning heavily towards Raylib using zig bindings - with Gdevelop/CTjs for quick prototyping of ideas.

I have tried Rust engines like Bevy, but the Rust tax was too heavy for me and I personally could not proceed beyond simple projects. your mileage may vary. Fyrox is good too, but there are pretty much no tutorials out there.

Another dark horse you can consider is the Flame engine on Flutter. Its very feature complete and you get all the mobile niceties for free. it has a nice community but examples, documentation tutorials etc are non existent.

Finally, if wishes come true, i'd really like a native version of the Phaser engine which will allow me to code in typescript, have all the existing Phaser features/apis, let me leverage its huge tutorials/resources, generate native binaries, enable baking in assets etc- but we don't have anything like that yet -_-

yep. Unreal has a much better deal. 5% of royalties once your sales cross 1 Million. So if you are an indie dev, you can pretty much use Unreal for free. But if you are a decently sized dev shop, you pay a % of your revenue.

Yep. It gets void when I die

Maybe it is the most natural question which comes to a lay person like me when it comes to superconducting. Not everyone can be as knowledgeable, or in the loop as you are.

And I assure you that I am no bot. I acquire sustenance, go into low energy states and have a lifetime warranty like all fellow meatbags.

Naive question, and I hope someone more knowledgeable than me can enlighten me here;

Why are we even testing for superconductivity with levitation, instead of just checking for current loss/heat loss while conducting?

A lot of folks here are disappointed that the toot/article is an opinion instead of news.

And I feel disappointed that we are more concerned about whether the title should be tagged as opinion instead of the content therein, which is well worth discussing. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

WEI is one of the most damaging plans that Google has put across in the near past and it is important that we should consider the different avenues of pressure that we can use, to get Google to reconsider.

> 2. Groups are trash. You just wanna call 3 people? Well we made a group for you. Everytime you call a bunch of people it creates a group and that group is now a contact in your chat window. By now I have a group for every constillation of the team I work in. Its beyond annoying.

Funnily enough, one man's trash is another's treasure. For me groups is a killer feature. just being able to create ad hoc groups for different threads of conversations is what makes teams tick for me. Without the groups, I would have to use channels which for me pretty much useless.
