Text messages with abbreviations come from real people. Emails with HTML and CSS are almost all automated, and usually some kind of spam. (Some email clients for humans probably add a bit of html and css to everything, but you get what I me

Toml is great for simple use-cases. For complex ones you have the same problem that yaml has: Templating a language with significant whitespace via text substitution is a horrible horrible idea. Somehow this sad state of affairs has become

You can smell those things when they pass you. IMO it should be mandated that the engine be switched out for a modern one.

Would it be possible to create a generic way to script Bevy? I'm sure there are a lot of people who are going to want to use C#, C++, or something else. I could imagine running a runtime in-process and Bevy communicating with it over a

Sony requires that you use their tooling, which you can only get under NDA.

It's said that software is never finished, only abandoned, but games actually do get finished. And at that point any maintainability is absolutely irrelevant. It's just very different to web programming.

This makes a lot of sense. Wonder if Bevy will add support for GDScript or C# or something. I think it's generally opposed in the interest of ensuring the Rust devex is as good as possible, but it's coming eventually, I think.

Gaming is C++ first and foremost. All other languages suck, except when used to script game engines (C# in Unity, etc.). There's no practical reason to choose Rust or anything else. I don't think Rust is particularly bad or good h

Don't know about GPGPU, but can give you a probably correct answer: Compared to "native" APIs you trade features for compatibility. It's always going to lag behind Vulkan/DX/Metal. Are you ok with excluding pla

What's cool about rustup is having many different versions of the same toolchain installed at the same time, and automatically using the appropriate toolchain version for a project. That's downright magical.

It's a rule of thumb. Most authoritarians are not Lee Kuan Yew. Most times it does not go well.

The Parliament has veto rights. Nothing gets enacted without parliamentary approval. Which is very good, considering some of the bullshit that comes out of the Commission.

Pricing is normally what the market will bear. If this is below your cost as supplier you exit the market.

Sure, but that's left for the hosted service providers to figure out. No one can sue you for using AWSs offering.

Most commercial projects can safely use any of the Redis forks, whether Redis itself, Redict or Valkey. For Redict, you have to provide the source code of Redict - and Redict only! - in the case that you distribute it to customers. Redis ha

Isn't SSPL compatible with the GPL? If so you could "just" republish your stack under the new license. Not sure how feasible this strategy is in practice, as any company's stack is vast and no one wants to enumerate it a

It’s fine. It’s the React experience and not the Angular one, though; You’ll have to do some assembly yourself. There’s some immaturity around the edges, though, for example regarding GraphQL and OpenAPI.

You want memory to be close to where it's used because at the speeds of high-performance ICs, the latency caused by distance is actually significant.

That's the worst. This already happens in real life with dementia. Not sure why we would want to recreate it with computers...

Absolutely. But in many cases you'll find companies have far more than one microservice per team (or squad). At that point ypu start to wonder. Some devs seem to use microservices for what modules used to do.

And those small businesses were right. All the Apache/MIT-licensed software baffles me when LGPL for libraries and AGPL for applications seem clearly superior for promoting collaboration.

Linux is usable now, but it's not preinstalled for personal use and not approved for corporate use. That's the current issue.

It's rather shocking that with RADV, Valve (mostly) has written a better RDNA2 driver than AMD has managed for their own cards. Besides the embarrassment, AMD is leaving tons of performance and therefore market share on the table. You

Is Japan actually in a better place? GDP per capita is worse, work hours are longer, debt is much higher, birth rates are lower. Citation needed.

Demographics is the big one. Obviously fewer workers and more retirees, but also a gerontocracy where many parties primarily want to go back to some idealised version of the past. The CDU is basically the party of 1960s car adverts. The Gre
