zooi··on So, you want to make a game engine (2023)
In my experience it's closer to the other way around.

For example, one of my recent games has 20k lines of engine code and 40k lines of game code.

zooi··on AI made coding more enjoyable
I don't care about the product as much as I care about the code.
zooi··on AI made coding more enjoyable
I used to share this sentiment but the more I used AI for programming, the less I enjoyed it. Even writing "boring" code (like tests or summaries) by hand increased my understanding of what I wrote and how it integrates into the rest of the codebase, which I think is fun.

Letting a robot write code for me, however tedious it would be to write manually, made me feel like I was working in someone else's codebase. It reminds me of launching a videogame and letting someone else play through the boring parts. I might as well not be playing. Why bother at all?

I understand this behaviour if you're working for a company on some miserable product, but not for personal projects.

zooi··on Just use fucking paper, man
I've tried many note taking methods, including paper, and none of it really fit my needs. So I wrote my own application, just for me, with nobody else in mind. It's perfect and I recommend everyone to do the same.

zooi··on Smoking has long-term effects on the immune system
The difference between those two is that, by smoking, you become the aggressor. If being considerate and empathetic is "solving someone else's problem" then I don't see how that's entitled. Don't smoke in public.

zooi··on High Performance Voxel Engine (2021)
I'm fairly certain that pixelpoet is referring to direct raycasting, not raytracing (light transport simulations). These aren't noisy.
zooi··on The US economy and the EU were the same size in 2008, the US is now nearly 2X
The stats comparison is of the US and the whole of Europe.

The difference between states is big but you go on to say that it's as big as the difference between two European countries. Your comparison only points out Europe is as least as diverse as the US and still has a significantly higher life expectancy.

Her sign is more credible because it's backed by basically every scientific institution, not because she's an autistic Swede.
