I agree with this. I suspect it's part of a more general Godot philosophy that involves full in-editor workflows with highly detailed scenes, many nodes, and with small scripts attached to all of them.

Not sure. I hear C# is at least as fast if not faster, though there may be situations where GDScript is more performant.

I'm a commercial dev, previously used Unity, now using Godot. This comment rings true of GD Script and signals. I get around this by using C# and its event handling. Working with nodes and editor bugs (or features? Hard to know really)

Closest might be gamedev.net, but I'm not sure there's anything out there that qualifies as a HN for game development. Might need to spread out. Go to engine-specific forums, programming subdomains (eg, graphics programming), news

Copilot. I suspect a lot of us will (or already do) use it at some level , even if it's just autocompleting logging statements, writing boiler plate/comments, suggesting improvements etc.

Truly amazing that you think parents can only give their kids maths problems OR teach them social skills.

Yeah, fundamentally it helps you manage records of documents. Of course you can also attach PDFs and full text (if you have them), but it's the record that's important. A common use case is in academia - it helps you track your

As a developer, I don't mind paying the 30% for the hosting, payment handling, discoverability, community management etc. I can't say if it's truly worth the 30%, but I sure don't want to be handling all those services m

I agree, selectable user profiles would be useful. The global profile can just include some standard boiler plate ("do not use disclaimers" etc), while the custom profiles can be "I'm an experienced C programmer trying t

I don't see this mentioned often enough - it's like a superpower for emulators. You just select the save state and it loads instantly, exactly where you left off.

This is a really good point. It bothers me too, but I hadn't really articulated why.

I agree with this. I whipped up a small tcl/tk project, used it for years, worked everywhere. Every time I tried some other framework in Python, I always ended up stepping on rakes. Nothing ever felt right. These days, if tcl/tk d

I like the idea. Most people would probably recognise this as a concept map - perhaps a name like ConceptGPT would resonate more than ChatGPT2D.

An expat is not an immigrant. It would be incorrect to call the author - who is an expat - an immigrant.

Unity-based dev here. This is looking really strong. Impressed with their focus and speed of development. If I were putting together a small-ish team with 1-3 people today, I'd be more likely to consider jumping onto Godot vs Unity. Go

It's like saying "I don't know what kind of fruit this is, but I'm sure it's not a banana." Not defending his response, but it's not that strange.

Best to assume the US also knows this and is revealing (or not revealing) its capabilities accordingly.

I think it will be around for a while - the volume of content is still valuable. But like many others, I've stopped contributing to it. The last time I tried to answer a question, it was marked down. My answer was correct, concise, to

This is a good point. More and more people will unknowingly encounter AI content and then feel disconcerted when learning of that fact. It seems likely that it will lead to a general distrust of the technology, insofar as the AI content con

I've seen some otherwise capable people struggle with compasses and map reading. It's a good idea to print out some basic map reading instructions and attach it to the map just in case. That way, anyone else in your family/pa

I'd really like a breakdown on what these maps are actually used for. They could just be wall art, perhaps a (growing?) niche of custom guide books, maybe a renewed interest in exploring offroad/outback etc. Or maybe just more peo

Say you're an indie game developer. In 2022 you'd pay someone on Fiverr to do a 'trailer' voiceover on your game trailer. This year, you'd use this - and also get a few more languages in there. Next year is gonna be

The general idea is that the set of all contingent things can only be explained by something non-contingent (ie necessary). A necessary thing, by definition, is its own explanation. "I am what I am" etc. From there, classical thei

You might have a point if the story was something like "Canada's 88-point plan for dealing with undesirables", but we're talking about buying fighter jets.

This rings true for me. Blue collar parents, absolutely no way they'd let me get a trade. Couldn't even join the military - had to be university.

It's durable, keeps good time, battery lasts 7-10 years, clear display, thin and light. It's incredible value for $15-25. Deserves to be as popular as it is.

> Writing SQL is like uploading a program; just like a shader to a GPU... But unlike a GPU, you have full flexibility to permanently store your logic right there in your SQL DB. I agree - this is a really interesting way to put this.
