Pixel Shader 2.0 is done, so glad too! there are a ton of nice features built in for everyone. Retro or new wave!
Features.
Dither dropoff
Custom dither patters and scale
Emission maps
Emission color

Screen Space toggle
VGA style posterized mode
light color count slider (for setting the number of colors a light and its mixing or dropoff will generate)
Has any of you #gamedev people ever had issues with negative scale in an #animation? Our #3D#artist loves to flip things by just applying negative scale, but it makes it into the animation #keyframes. That means the entire #geometry is flipped, including the #triangle winding order. This ultimately turns the mesh inside-out. I wonder if anyone ever came across this?
I guess you could say: ”That’s exactly what a programmer would say”, but for me what’s most transformative about #ai#machinelearning is not really it’s abilities to reassemble information.
This is an endemic problem in all discourse, on or off #SocialMedia. The paraphrase becomes the dominant meme (in the original #RichardDawkins sense) and hearsay becomes conventional “wisdom.”
I've been doing it for 20 years, but every time there is a moment when you come across a bunch of code that you wrote a long time ago and you don't want to touch it anymore so as not to break it, and you look for a solution for half a day, and then you add one line and everything is fine
Damn! I have to write a lot of ETL code today (JSON import, transformation, storing in database etc.) in Go. Now, I must admit that Copilot is writing most of the code for me by now. Over the course of the last few days it seems to have learned quite a bit about my coding style.
This thing is really good at "magically" knowing how to create Go types and funcs from a JSON data model that I have open in another buffer. It proposes full code blocks, not just line by line.
I'm still skeptical but for this kind of coding tasks, Copilot is just a big time saver. It really feels like a second programmer working with me.
I'm not worried that Copilot will replace developers. But as a solo dev, it really helps to get the boring coding tasks done much faster and have time for more interesting problems.
So, I decided that I am going to write a #Mastodon compatible #ActivityPub server in Rust and I am going to toot about my journey as I do this. So, warning to my followers, a lot of my posts are going to be development centric LOL. I could do this in C#, the language I know well, but I want to do rust just for the pure fun of it. #rustlang#programming
