The good thing about arbitrary labels is you can apply any one you want :)

Not sure what's wrong with games being "pay to win", isn't that the point of them? Unless you meant pay to win, or the newer and weirder version, play to earn.

The about page describes it as > An open-source tool for visual and modular block programing (sic) in python If they wanted to distance it from visual programming, they have done a bad job at it.

I have a similar but unrelated problem. The searching seems to be... non-deterministic or something, it's weird. Like if I'm after a program, let's call it "uniquator". That program may be the first suggestion for &

It's not lobbying to prevent people from working on it. It's lubing up the masses for an eventual ban on encryption, or the power to demand access to, and the creation of, backdoors. This doesn't need to mean HTTPS traffic is

If it's any consolation, so too is Unreal, from my experience. A lot of the times the only documentation on a feature will be random Youtubers, and an official 3 hour stream from 4 years ago. Oh and the source code, of course.

At least that's usually the case! Our puppy is positively defective - she eats what she needs, and leaves the rest in the bowl. Unless there's chicken. Such bug-features are always handy! I wonder if it's consistently reprodu

Reminds me of the AutoBiomes paper! Waiting for something to be integrated into EG a terrain creation tool (no!-MC games), should produce pretty interesting results. https://cgvr.cs.uni-bremen.de/papers/cgi20/AutoB

Unreal has the tech to allow using such assets (Nanite), while Unity does not. It's not a smart idea due to other factors as well, like storage usage.

Sorry for the later reply, but Epic bought Skookum, the company behind SkookumScript [0]. They have showed off usages of it in Fortnite [1] too, and it looks pretty interesting, if a bit wacky to current programmers. Assuming he's ther

Yet more whataboutism. People need entertainment, but an investment medium that is designed to use as much power as possible is not remotely comparable to the basic needs of humans.

The first point is classic whataboutism. Would you defend a murder court case by claiming people don't care when the police kill people? It's the same thing, but people being replaced by the planet. Second point - who are these pe

This landing page format is essentially a slightly interactive video ad, where you have control over when the next section plays. It's a lot more sensible on phones, though I usually look for a way to GTFO and be served some plain old

Now, if only Unreal Engine builds were available M1 native, I could get rid of my huge and heavy desktop entirely! Interestingly, some improvements to Rosetta were mentioned, extremely briefly.

The Mac version of Visual Studio is closer to a fork of MonoDevelop than mainline VS. Rider is a better experience than either though, IMO.

This is pretty much what Google+ had/ failed due to. If only relevant content is shared within a 'circle', people appreciate it, sometimes ignore it, and move on. Consistent controversy and drama is avoided, which just so hap

Yeah makes sense, cheers! Working on this would require XCode, and it should be importable as one. It might require some odd permission to query Spotify, but the 'codebase' is about 50 lines so shouldn't take too long to veri

So not technically impressive or anything of the sort, but this was my first foray into SwiftUI. Of course, SwiftUI does not natively/ fully support menu bar widgets like this, and I didn't want to pay for the developer licence ju

I do like having the namespace there, if only to gently nudge you towards better architecture. As a temp fix I have overridden Rider's code formatting to not indent within the namespace, but C# 10 will bring file scoped namespaces. You

That's all well and good for Linux-style C programming maybe, but it would be painful in languages like C#. EG the simplest function in a Unity game, that prints "hello world" for the player only would be something like:

I can't see it as an option for my MBP, though I do have the monitor connected in a roundabout way, through a dock. Monitor did support FreeSync, which is the open one too, so wondering what's going on there. Monterey Beta 6 here

Efficiency cores would burn less energy for any amount of workload, provided the delay is acceptable. The efficiency cores may be always on, or close to it, so the high performance cores being turned off for longer saves energy too. Really

You can have a funny/ insightful comment that doesn't add to the discussion, so it makes sense to me at least. It's like Facebook + Reddit/ HN voting systems at once.
