Allow community servers then. Then the company doesn't have to pay anything to maintain it. They don't even need to release the source; just release a proprietary binary and then people can happily keep playing and not feel rippe

> Companies are forced to expend resources just so a few niche hobbyists are not inconvenienced. Yeah those poor companies. They should just be allowed to take our money and then stop providing a service we paid for. Won't someone

You could actually make it have a rough 3D environment as well. Their demo had a model of Piazza San Marco with dots to estimate the actual buildings and the like.

This is cool as hell. I remember like seventeen years years ago, Microsoft had "PhotoSynth", which would make 3D environments based on a bunch of images, and seventeen-year-old-tombert thought it was one of the most amazing things

You can actually click "ok" and just continue anyway. That said, yeah, I'll see if i can bundle the fonts tonight.

Here's the WASM source to those interested: https://github.com/Tombert/3DMMEx_WASM

Agreed. Now that 3DMM is open source, someone should make a video about how Kubernetes is Web Scale.

UPDATE: About an hour with Claude gave me this: https://3dmmex.pages.dev/ It actually works reasonably well from what I can tell, though I haven't thoroughly tested it.

I'm not going to blame a fellow pedant for being pedantic :) You could probably amend this to "billionaires", instead of the qualifying "multi billionaires". ETA: You know, I was thinking, just because I qualified i

Even if you forgive him drugging his wife, which you shouldn't, he's not exactly a good person. Read through the antitrust stuff that happened in the 90's. He's not a good guy. I know he puts on this persona of "g

Next logical step would be WASM, I suppose. Then I could easily show everyone in the world 12-year-old-tombert's masterpiece "Fatso Man and Tarzan Baby". ETA: I'm gonna give it a go with Claude tonight. Need to justify

Yeah exactly, especially for newer people. I wouldn't be surprised if someone read `b = expr(a++)` to indicate that `a` is incremented, and then passed into `expr`, especially considering that it is within parentheses. The fact that

I think secretly drugging your wife is something a lot of people care about, actually.

When it was just ChatGPT, I actually really enjoyed it. I still had to do a lot of the work, but I could use ChatGPT to explain arcane logs and help me diagnose errors. It didn't feel like babysitting interns, it felt more like "

I have always hated this crap; the fact that I'm not 100% sure the result of this indicates that maybe the ++ operator (pre or postfix) is something that should be avoided? I don't do a lot of C anymore, but even when I did, I alw

I'm not sure I agree with this at all. I don't think I think less when writing Clojure or Rust than I would writing raw assembly code, I just broaden the scope of my projects to fill up my thinking capacity.

by tombert 5mo ago
Yeah, I've felt like it has converted my job from "writing software" to "babysitting interns". There are things that I think are very cool; there are lots of projects that I've sort of wanted to do for the last

I mean, sure, in the set of things that one could put into my food surreptitiously, antibiotics is one of the better ones (I guess assuming that the spiker does the full regimen). I'll acknowledge that amoxicillin is better than a roof

by tombert 5mo ago
Not the OP, but I suspect it's because of Bill Gates' recent scandals involving Jeffrey Epstein. Specifically with Bill Gates spiking his wife's food with antibiotics to cover up the fact that he got an STD from a Russian pr

I'm not convinced that LinkedIn is doing anything but hurting me. I should probably delete mine. The only reason I haven't yet is because a lot of job postings outright require a LinkedIn URL. I've considered putting some

Outside of Elon Musk's Twitter, I think pedophile is actually used pretty appropriately in most spots.

I've done some similar stuff. I wanted to reference some TLA+ community stuff. I was initially just copy-pasting the specs into mine, and that worked well enough, but it was a little tedious and I was kind of afraid I might accidental

I connected my Samsung TV to the WiFi for the first time two weeks ago because I wanted to play with the multi-screen-view thing, and it didn't appear to work with two HDMI cables. It has not shut up asking me to update the fucking thi

Outside of the ones built into laptops, all my "monitors" for the last decade have been TVs, just because they tend to be cheaper at a "price to size" level. None of them ever seem to have DisplayPort.

Yeah, as I said I wouldn't mind reimplementing it anyway. I still more or less remember what I did so I don't think it would be too hard for me to reimplement if I get enough free time. Kafka Streams is one of those things that I

When I worked at Apple, they were extremely strict about contributions to FOSS stuff, even on your own time, even for simple stuff like bugfixes or opening a Github issue. I am sure they have their reasons even if I don't agree with

by tombert 5mo ago
I'm a little sad that I got laid off from a previous job for a variety of reasons, but one big one was that there were discussions of letting me open source some very big changes I had made to the Kafka Streams library. I rewrote a lot

I like how Action Retro has pointed out that installing a fresh Haiku system is often faster than booting a Windows or macOS system. As I said in another comment, I've only played with Haiku in a VM for not very much time, but I am

I've only played with Haiku in a virtual machine for like twenty minutes. It seems cool but I didn't use it enough to really develop a strong opinion. I do wish someone would put some serious money into an OS that isn't Wind
