Nice find, thanks! Turns out Godot reached to Miguel de Icaza for a few grants from Microsoft for C# integration around 2017-2020. Coincidentally , I can't find any mention of Microsoft grants for Godot after de Icaza left MS. I guess

And I bet those green threads still need an IO type of some sort to encode anything non-pure, plus usually do-syntax. Comparing merely concurrent computations to I/O-async is just weird. In fact, I suspect that even those green threads

AFAIK Microsoft is not a Godot sponsor, if you mean in terms of money or time? The companies listed down in this page are Godot sponsors: https://godotengine.org/donate/ As for advocacy, Microsoft's "Game dev

Agreed. I don't dislike Rust as a language, but it annoys me how its practitioners add the "[written] in Rust" tagline to every single thing they do that's otherwise unrelated to Rust. Specially when their code or depend

It's just a pun on vibe coding, which is already a dumb term by itself. It's not that deep.

I don't think doxing means what you think it means but whatever. I also expected more of him than to spam ads, waste the time of maintainers and mods on multiple communities, and reply passive-aggressively to anyone asking him to tone

I assume he's well meaning because I've been seeing his posts for a few months already in the OCaml forums before this pattern of his started, but he's suddenly acting irrational and doubling down. There's no way I can p

AFAIK this can use both the new Hammer for Source 2 and its own Unity-like editor. Hammer is one of the few editors with actual level-design tools still maintained, most other engine's editors can't do much more than drop static m

More like Roblox at the moment. It could compete with Unity/Godot if they arrange a deal for standalone games with Valve, as it builds on top of Source 2.

Even after the public call-outs you keep dropping blatant ads for your blog and AI in general in your PRs; there's no other word for them than ads. This is why I blocked you on the OCaml forum already. When I was a kid, every year I&#x

Describe the task you're waiting for as text, and let an LLM pick the number of seconds for each request. More expensive the better model you clearly need for this. There, your AI pitch.

Didn't they start using Unreal Engine for S&box, then pivoted? Something must have been better for them on the Source side.

Not at all! Looking at the package dates, distros have started shipping their own source builds during 2022-2024, starting with .NET 6-7.

Looks like I missed progress during the time I've been away from dotnet, thanks. I still had memories of having to install an MS repo for that.

Thanks for the reference. I had memories of having to install a Microsoft repository to install the SDK, that's an improvement.

I glad to read this. One of my long-term concerns with .NET, compared to other language ecosystems, is the risk that only Microsoft people might know how to build it and port it. Is any distro actually shipping .NET SDK packages built from

And companies considered high-risk will have to "contribute to the development of technologies to mitigate the risks relating to their services." Which sooner or later will involve another attempt at client-side scanning.

To access that API you need a license as an authorised third-party provider (TPP), don't you? So in practice it is only for businesses capable of pushing through the bureaucracy.

The interpreter/jit has traditionally been considered part of a dynamic language runtime, arguably the major part, before JS-brained companies started to call their every repackaging of V8/JSC a runtime (which is technically corre

Both are by design. Array covariance is a common design mistake in OOP languages, which the designer of TypeScript had already done for C# but there they at least check it at runtime. And the latter was declared not-a-bug already IIRC. Type

First example: you're confusing the annotation for a cast, but it isn't; it won't work the other way around. What you're seeing there is array covariance, an unsound (i.e. broken) subtyping rule for mutable arrays. C# ha

Not really, I provided these examples a couple weeks ago on another HN thread. TypeScript is simply unsound. https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/MYewdgzgLgBAllApg... https://www.typescriptlang.o
