Pretty cool to finally have a decent open 3d solution for windows vms. Now if only someone made an opengl driver for older intel macosx vms...

Its been getting pretty bad for a long while now. On the topic of UK privacy, there's an interesting requirement that if you are a "data controller" processing "personal" data for …

I think mine when when I got one model to generate a spec for SDL 1.2, and another to generate a reimplementation of the whole thing in rust. It was pretty amazing to see the imple…

One bizarre related thing I've noticed is often you will find people who otherwise seem ok with people violating the copyright and other various licenses by "decompiling" a game, b…

I've invested time working with a project like that and it's kind of heartbreaking to see it lose its way and become a total mess. It's tempting to fork and try and go back to its …

We've seen a few takes on this kind of issue, but the solution I liked the best was the linux "developers take full responsibility" approach. The "Assisted-by:" tag was a pretty ni…

My take was more along the lines of: it wouldn't be convincing enough, if anything it would be too clean and perfect.

There is no way you could recreate a convincing enough 90s era codebase of a japanese videogame + its associated tools + scripts and commented out codepaths with current ai tools.

I find the specific singling out of vibe coding interesting for a different reason; thinking back to just last month, I recall one of the rationales behind the huge DLSS5 backlash …

I'm not a huge fan of working while travelling, it's way too distracting while trying to do intricate development work.

I often find AI makes me angry and stressed out, especially when it suggests dumb solutions to problems. Honestly makes me wonder if I'm more likely to die early from chronic AI-in…

The current pricing model (for plus) feels deliberately confusing to me, I can never really tell if I'm nearing any kind of limit with my account since nothing really seems to tell…

Using connectrpc was a pretty refreshing experience for me. Implementing a client for the HTTP stuff at least is pretty easy! I was able to implement a basic runner for forgejo usi…

Bumped into your project a while back - pretty impressive. I was a little disappointed it seemed to just convert the resources rather than use the original runtime formats (since t…

I really wanted to like it but the UI always put me off. Also tending to prefer a more open development model these days. Thankfully at least for dev gitea and forgejo have both co…

The Settlers 2 was one of my favorite games growing up - really felt like they polished up the mechanics of the first game and made the UI more tolerable. If anyone is looking for …

A few months ago I used ChatGPT to rewrite a bison based parser to recursive descent and was pretty surprised how well it held up - though I still needed to keep prompting the AI t…

Back when this was first announced it was pretty neat, but I don't think it passes the long term reliability test for me. Last time I tried it I somehow managed to erase all the no…

Lazarus is nice but both its apis and the ui feel like they're still stuck in the early 00's. It's not enough to look like VB6 / Delphi these days; you've got to keep up with what …

Also switched to a UGREEN, in this case the DXP4800 Plus. Truenas runs pretty nicely on it! One critique I'd have of this setup is it's a lot noisier than my older Synology setup, …

A while back I recall watching a video about this very feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC3TVvtuNqs

I find you get a lot of utility, but long-term you need to keep updating your codebase and follow whatever trend rails is currently on.

For me the bus factor was a bit of a red flag, plus I prefer the layout in forgejo/gitea. Also didn't like that there wasn't really any obvious way to link in an external CI, and o…

Having wasm 3.0 and a project named wasm3 which doesn't seem to support wasm 3.0 is sure going to get confusing!

I play SvenCoop a lot and mostly just stick to a handful of servers. The amount of servers is such that discovering new ones is pretty easy. However it also makes it a bit vulnerab…
