sigh
the decentralization protocol suckslol this is like someone asking how they got AIDS while having sex with ten guys even though they wore a condom with just one of them
the one server everyone relies on goes down
somehow shocked
Flash cart is still on it's way
Worse things could always happen, but the perfectionist in me is mildly irritated.
Every time dude.
there is a "DeVault's Island" in the free software + free internet movements.
>inb4 at least one big tech service or government infrastructure goes down within the next few weeks and Drew DeVault gets mainstream news coverage for it.
Hilariously, this invoked the Streisand Effect, and I figured out exactly the answer to my question thanks to him not answering.
There also doesn't seem to be a clear standard on fixed point math in C++, as simple as it sounds. The same precision or even the same type names are not guaranteed, it's arguably less consistent than floats.
I might use incredibly large integers and then just cut them back down to floats when the renderer draws them (on PC).
Digital Tar Pits - How to Fight Back Against A.I.
A new movement aimed at poisoning A.I. models like ChatGPT has gained traction after hackers have been attempting to trap said models in a never ending ‘Tar Pit’ of nonsense. After reading an Ars Technica interview, I tracked down a hacker developing tools to poison AI training data. Tools such as ‘Nepenthes’ are designed to confuse and corrupt the models that scrape the internet for their learning. But can we really stop A.I. from turning the web into a mess of low-quality, regurgitated slop?
There's this Youtube video where someone reads a thread on there and it's... a trip. I can't find it in my history but I vividly remember watching it thinking the entire time that the next gen of software engineers is fucking doomed.
Guys, just typeid(sourceObject).name() == typeid(destinationObjectType).name(), how is EVERY Q&A source for C++ this terrible?
It might have been mentioned in the ISO standard docs and in that case I skimmed over it which is my fault.

It seems like the 9th gen is just going to end up as a failure (Steam Deck doesn't count). I never thought it could ever get worse than the 3DO era, but here we are. Just to think that if console generations were as long as they were 20 years ago, it would be wrapping up.
The release is too old and is missing DInput fixes that I need for my engine to function.
It's the only good(ish) option with a standard library included, that doesn't require a degree in rocket science to set up.
MSYS2 packages and CMake projects are a pain in the fucking ass on Windows. I have no idea where to point my dependencies at. I can't compile liballeg from source as easily as I can on Linux natively.
IDK how you guys tolerate writing C on Windows. Your only two options are a toolchain that is unpredictable and another toolchain that tries--and fails--to be like Arch.
Unfortunate facts of nature, not misogyny.
Just because the imbalance is not always significant or guaranteed does not mean it is not still a form of cheating. Gender and weight class separation in sports was created for a reason.
Yo this is crazy good, doesn't taste like a regular grape soda but it's got some kick to it. Would recommend it if you ever see it.
This is a bush with procedural geometry. The Art Department is currently conditioning a bunch of plant textures, but it's going to take some more time. Artists in general seem to have no understanding of what a game expects of their textures and models and as such we have to fix a bunch of little things with every asset, even purchased, professional ones; it was easier to write a procedural bush geometry generator than condition the artists' models into a reasonable state.
