Tried committing a relatively large code base (20GB+) into Git without Git LFS, with the intent to use --filter=tree:0; unfortunately add/commit/push are still not performant enough to handle it.

The fact that 'git push' has no "continue interrupted push / recover from network disruption" is ultimately what stopped me.

I still want a source control system that provides light weight branching for code, handles large files/assets well, permissionable paths for restricting console code and works with all the existing Git infrastructure out there. (Git LFS is still too jank as it has a separate view of the world to Git itself)

Which leads me to my question: When is Epic Games gonna write their own source control system?

    @bitinn You can't register an Apple account without a phone number. I know this for certain when I tried to automate downloading of Xcode, and you can't get past this requirement any more.

    (Don't know about the other questions, but I assume they'd also require an Apple account these days)

    @beeoproblem Oh yeah, started using the [1,2,3] syntax recently and it's so much nicer.

    (Also helps there's an analyser that can auto fix previous collection initialisers to the new syntax)

    Once you get used to writing Slate UI code in #unrealengine C++, it's actually pretty nice to be able to programmatically construct UI layouts with it. #gamedev

    finally. enough storage that i'll never run out of space again.

    (this is 7x4TB SSDs in RAIDz2 for nearly 18.5TB of storage space)

    You should follow me on Cohost… I basically don't post anything there but either mirrors of Mastodon posts or things I link on Mastodon, but there's actually quite a lot of very good art being posted on Cohost I'm reblogging over there but not here (because it is on Cohost)

    @emaytch @mcc tbh I feel like once Tumblr is federating and people can see Tumblr content directly in Mastodon/whatever they're using, there's gonna be a lot less reason to have an account on Cohost just for that type of content.

    me getting the urge to write a version control system for game dev:

    There's an UI Discord, but would you use an Unreal UI Forum? In the interests of knowledge not being lost in Discord.

    @wirepair @_benui Something I have been meaning to do for a while is build a bot that mirrors Discord forums to a website to make them searchable on the Internet. I should really get around to it sooner rather than later.

    Seeing news about the Apple AR stuff and maybe it's just me, but I really feel like something that is priced at over $5000 AUD is going to be a niche platform for the financial barrier alone.
