Yeah, I love this take. Very similar for me. I have encountered people who don’t want to hear advice and repeatedly have a sort of knee-jerk negative reaction. It’s very rare though and I’d leave an org if this was the norm. I can count the

I’ve generally had more good outcomes than bad, as long as I don’t take on the emotional burden myself. Some people don’t actually want advice. In those cases, the issue isn’t technical, it’s interpersonal. In my experience, engineers who r

Agreed. If you see repeated failures and think it’s “career optimizing” to not offer advice, you should instead consider whether it’s worth optimizing a career in that org. There are places where this doesn’t happen and I’d argue you learn

Honestly, I don’t even know that letting it die is self serving except at big companies which can suffer repeated failures. Depending on scale, a couple large train wrecks may take the company out and leave you unemployed.

I disagree, and I think this advice can be actively harmful. You shouldn’t ignore a problem when you’re in a position to help. At the same time, you also shouldn’t take on the emotional burden of other people’s projects. If I see something

That’s not my experience. I've had an OLED TV going on 7 years now and it still looks better than any of my LCD screens. My PC monitors are my only remaining LCD screens largely due to the text fringing issues mentioned in this article

I feel similarly. Hacker News is the nicotine patch of social media.

Yeah, I’m wondering if it could be a Tesla strategy of starting with the something imperfect but niche. If the product is on the market and you can buy one and walk out the door, I feel like claims can easily be validated or invalidated wit

I don't understand your point. My comment about article context is an objective statement that you can verify. I feel like you’re telling me, “the article says A but you should claim it says B, C, and D and we should discuss those inst

This feels strange and biased, and I’m not sure it belongs on HN. The only context in which DHS claims Real ID is “unreliable” appears to be during mass detentions. That framing reads less like a genuine critique of Real ID and more like a

I’ve heard (but don’t have an inside source) that Meta’s Horizon was built on Unity and then ported to a custom engine implementation.

by tyleo 10mo ago
I wrote the Circuits programming system for Rec Room, and we took a similar approach: keeping the core logic free of Unity dependencies so it could run and be tested on CoreCLR. The results were similar as well with significantly better per

Agreed, my company has some helper hooks they want folks to use which break certain workflows. We’re a game studio with less technical staff using git (art and design) so we use hooks to break some commands that folks usually mess up. Surpr

That’s what I’m talking about too. Understanding that we’re all monkeys is an important piece of the puzzle if you want to deal with the problem.

I agree with this argument but it goes both ways. We run on monkey hardware… and our leaders run on monkey hardware. Those unethical leaders are monkeys like the rest of us. Pointless status hoarding at the expense of populations is part of

There’s folks who perform like juniors but have just been in the business long enough to be promoted. Title only loosely tracks skill level and with AI, that may become even more true.

This is close to my approach. I love copilot intellisense at GitHub’s entry tier because I can accept/reject on the line level. I barely ever use AI code gen at the file level. Other uses I’ve gotten are: 1. It’s a great replacement fo

I think you need a balance. I’ve seen products fall apart due to high error rate. I like to think of intentionalists—people who want to understand systems—and vibe coders—people who just want things to work on screen expediently. I think su

I have a theory that vibe coding existed before AI. I’ve worked with plenty of developers who are happy to slam null checks everywhere to solve NREs with no thought to why the object is null, should it even be null here, etc. There’s just a

I love using the App Store. I have a process: 1. Hear about the app I want from friends, coworkers, the internet 2. Open the App Store. Ignore absolutely everything except typing the exact thing I already know I want in the search bar

I think you’d really like Voxel Max’s capabilities there. Even if you just use it for the mesh -> voxel conversion and then reexport to MagickaVoxel. The Voxel Max folks have been very helpful in their Discord server too.

by tyleo 10mo ago
I did a decent amount of work in MagicaVoxel in the past. I like that Voxel Max works on iPad. It also allows 3D meshes to be imported and voxelized. Voxel Max has a good amount of polish these days. It’s my top option with MagicaVoxel a cl

I’ve been using Voxel Max for the last couple weeks to draw voxel art for a game and it’s incredible. I’ll have to try some of my assets out in this engine.

The MacBooks have insane performance and everything else is falling behind. It won’t be surprising if Apple overtakes Windows as a gaming platform in coming decades IMO if Intel can’t catch up.

Comments here are very strange, “Reading books should go the way of cursive! Education is more like childcare anyways.” It’s bizarre stuff to say. What would you have the education system do? Put iPads in front of kids all day?

I always wonder about the truth in, “No advertising is bad advertising.” I think you can have bad advertising that isolates customers but this doesn’t seem to cross that line. We’re all talking about McDonalds now after all. It reminds me o

Same. I’m pretty stable but just looking at pictures of that ad in the comments I felt my heart-BMP raise. It isn’t just the fact that it’s an ad. The intense black and yellow is unsettling with strong ‘warning’ vibes. Here’s a picture for
