Yeah TUIs are great. I'm shit at making GUIs but I was able to slap together a relatively simple TUI for some tooling at work, without any AI. Cheaper, faster, cross platform, less intensive. Most TUI frameworks nowadays have mouse sup

So, I've had a pretty shit time with Microsoft products over the last ten years, but it wasn't quite as bad 5-7 years ago. Our disagreement on that might be that I'm only in my late 20s, so if you're older than I am, or

Yeah based on your comment and the others, it seems he did an initial purge in 2014. QA doesn't get enough love :(

Thank you for the correction! I think I was conflating the two (having heard about the one from 2014, and then also hearing about the more recent rounds, and not recognizing they were different) I've edited my comment to correct this.

Oh thanks for the correction/supplemental information. The gutting you're referring to might be the huge lay offs that I'm thinking of. Possibly conflating the recent AI driven layoffs with those from 12 years ago.

The bad part is that Microsoft (generally) used to have some of the best QA in the industry, and that was somewhat extended to Xbox. But they laid off their QA team a year or two ago because "AI will change everything!"

Yeah at the time it was bad. Now, it's a pretty nice codebase

Bedrock does have better performance but it is also hella buggy and unstable.

In Microsoft's defense at the time the java code base had a ton of technical debt and overtime they've essentially done a full rewrite of everything. That said, I'm convinced that 90% of the reason that the current mess exist

Thank you for the recommendation! I opened it out of curiosity and I'm already a chapter deep :)

I've never been more thoroughly convinced that I would like ruby more than from this article. I'm currently stuck reaching for python a lot of the time (absolutely love it tbc), but maybe it's worth changing things up and try

Hi, out of curiosity is there a way to persistently set the `--native-tls` flag? UV always fails without it because of Zscalar configurations at my day job. Also, is there any plan to add support for specifying that a compatible python vers

For what it's worth, anytime I have written a macro it's usually not because it's needed, but just because I think it'll be fun :)

I think there's a difference in the want of a game dev. 100r, IMHO, is about code as art rather than using code to make art.

by 0x3444ac53 6mo ago
For me this is a plus. All the games I've made are small and hobby stuff, and I much prefer writing code to playing around with a UI.

Wait really? I looked into tic80 a while ago and I know it had native support for moon script, but I had to play with it to get fennel to work

Fennel is really cool! And you can write games in it :) https://fennel-lang.org/

I've always assumed that there is some technical reason for Lua being 1 indexed, rather than it being a design choice. Either way, I think it's a nitpick to complain about. I've written a decent amount of Lua and there's

I've never worked with a recruiter before. Any advice for finding one?

Despite the lack of encouragement, I'm thankful for your comment. I won't take any salary, but I'm willing to take a bit of a paycut. Do you have any advice, outside of working a senior position in the US for a few years, f

I've tried nushell and other shell replacements and it just feels like I'm learning a new programming language for no good reason

And to be clear so I don't get dogpiled and dox'd for this later. I don't think that excuses the blood that was shed. I do not think a state has a right to terrorize it's populace into submission, regardless of the ideol

Fascism is not functionally dead. We just don't have governments actively calling themselves Nazis and fascist. The modern day christian nationalist movement in the United States is a fascists movement, and that's without even get

Hi! I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about the modern fascist movements vs modern communist and left wing ones. I'm not sure why you're bringing up historical movements, seems irrelevant to my response.
