It may be sacrilege to bring it into this conversation, but I've spent the last year building a fairly large community site in Nuxt, vite has been wonderful, though I prefer vue ov…

They are held responsible by paying a fine to the government or losing their tobacco license, which is better than nothing, but doesn't actually fix the harm they caused already fo…

Did we? I know they lost some court cases, had to adjust advertising and so on, but was any tobacco company actually held accountable for the harm they caused? The answer is no bec…

I actually run an adults only community site and you are correct, I have it in a popup that appears on every "fresh" visit to the site, it's in the giant bold print you agree to wh…

Those execs were also using the tactics to addict adults, and while they may have targeted teens, the problem is, at its core: humans. So no amount of nannying by either the compan…

And what build system do you recommend the entire ecosystem support? Well, I choose (arbitrarily different and incompatible one to prove a point). Do you see the problem?

Exactly this. I use a Macbook for my day to day computing, programming, and general internet use. I have a Windows 11 gaming rig. Well, it turns out Hades 2 runs great on my macboo…

I'll be checking this project out! I'm a big fan of ECS and have lofty goals to use it for a data processing project I've been thinking about for a long time that has a lot in comm…

I just stumbled across armbian recently and I must say I really like it. I wanted to use UEFI, but my orangepi cm5 modules don't seem to have the SPI chip needed to store the UEFI …

Depends on your definition of prime, by your reasoning, I could say 7 * 1 * 1 = 7, so it's not prime. Better to say a prime is any number with a set of divisors of length 2 includi…

Your reasoning is flawed, eating vegetables or not basically only affects you and your health, not wearing a seatbelt turns you into a projectile against the general public.

To answer your questions, no, they do not use an editor that isn't Xcode. And I would also suspect none of them use desktop macs daily and instead use macbooks.

I feel like this is a book most programmers should work through at some point or another. Doing so made me really appreciate just what's going on inside a compiler / language toolk…

I'd be curious to hear how you'd do the execution flow like they mention? Just use multiple sequential slides?

I adore Godot and have been learning it on my own time, but it's just not there for XR stuff yet, our current project has the Vision Pro as a target, for instance, and Unity is rea…

As someone in an otherwise healthy position at my job, fuck yes, I want to get away from Unity, but there's just no better option for the platforms we're targeting and how quickly …

That's actually how Flutter works now if you enable web accessibility, and it does take a lot of work, and come with a performance cost: https://medium.com/flutter/accessibility-in…

Absolutely! Any sort of multiplayer game needs a source of authority if you want to prevent cheats like a hacked client lying about its position, and a really good way to do that i…

I own one of each, and develop for the Vision Pro through my job, it's the very same story it's always been. Apple hasn't 'invented' much here, but the magic is in how it's assembl…

I really hope USD is not it. Having worked with it trying to build stuff for the vision pro, it's a massive software library pretending to be a file format. It is inexorably linked…

Average life expectancy is a very bad number to compare across such vast amounts of time, especially when you're looking at a disease that only happens in advanced age. Infant mort…

This opensource implementation can be included in existing game engines without requiring the programmer to know or understand what dxil.dll even is. The Mach engine, for instance,…

Yup! It's a major step in building any Java application. Things like stripping symbol names, removing unused APIs, and processing non-java assets like images. For Android applicati…

The new version of macOS shows a purple box icon whenever something uses the "record your screen" permission, similar to how it shows the mic or camera icons when they're used.

It did in a fashion, on my Fold 5, for instance, I can half fold it and get a trackpad on the bottom half of the screen, which is great! I wish that was just a general toggle betwe…
