Working on a solo project as a conscientious #developer sometimes really be like...

@grendel84 I got into that boondoggle only with my latest project.

Born-again test writer. :3

Never looking back.

I mean I wrote tests before. Even with "good" coverage.

But wow, keeping 100% test coverage has taught me so much about my architecture and the state the software is in... literally daily I fix a bug where I can say "wow... this would have taken me hours to find, post-release, and then hastily fix. But the tests really helped."

@volpeon Hewwo, would it be ok for you if i use Neofox as, uhh, technical illustrations in the documentation for my MIT-licensed FOSS project? (with attribution etc.)

Something along these lines, I reckon.

jupiter,
@jupiter@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@volpeon Or like this, too, for example. If you're ok with it. ^o.o>

@eri @volpeon Yup, I have four left paws. T_T

@jupiter@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@volpeon Thank you so much for making Neofox.

I put attribution in these two places on https://fennecs.tech, if I can do anything else don't hesitate to ask.

In c#, sizeof(T) returns a int32, not a UIntPtr/nuint.

@jupiter@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@mcc

Yeah that was puzzling to me. Maybe it's an architecture switch somewhere? "listen, i'm compiling for AMD x64. The size of an uint is entirely unambiguous.

I thought they had fixed this weirdness here:

Sooo it's not possible to just reject federation from any misskey instances?

Do mastodon instances not have a user agent equivalent when federating content? (goes to read the spec)

Again, this isn't about killing the infection, it's about getting people isolated until enough masks and vaccines are available. As a species, we should have internalized this by now.

Oh. Wait.

A .

The closest prime to
2147483648
is
2147483647
and that is immensely beautiful.

The closest prime to
16777216
is
16777213
and that's okay.

The closest prime to
65536
is
65537
and that is sad.

Almost as sad as
32768
being closest to
32771
which is just tragic.

Fortunately
9223372036854775808
is larger than
9223372036854775783
which isn't perfect.

Because the closest prime to
2147483648
is
2147483647
and that is immensely beautiful.

Wait wait wait.

WAIT.

There are no negative prime numbers?

WHY?!

This is "why is 2 prime" all over again. 😩😫

Haaaalp 🙀

I'm drowning in bot spam here @aras, did anything change in the fediverse or how you syndicate/federate for mastodon.gamedev.place?

A mastodon notification feed full of literal spam.

    Sitting on the train home, finishing up the first baseline example and in-Engine performance test for https://fennecs.tech ...

    Next... you know it... will be boids.

    I actually never made boids before. gasp

    It's important to provide facilities in an ECS for entities to reference each other in an easy (and performant!) way. Let's see what I come up with.

    A benchmark scene in Godot, showing 40 thousand orange cubes undulating in a lissajous pattern as the camera moves around them.

    Per peeve: Dear social networks, when I go through the motions to fine-tune my codec and bitrate to offer decent quality at decent file size, please DO NOT RE-ENCODE my videos. T_T

    Especially if the re-encode ends up being larger. A simple if statement after local encode could make that comparison and decide which file to keep.

    And a simple boolean flag on submission could help users specify what they want to happen.

    @darth ... And what those publishers need to start 'feeling comfortable' with is a swift kick in the 'nads.

    We already don't own our software. Software licensing is a complete sham.
    First sale has been a hollow shell since the 1970s.
    Bring back ownership. Start with transferable (and importantly, irrevocable) licenses, end with the abolition of copyright and intellectual 'property'.

    I'm so bad at my own game... just trying to find a good balance of agility, skill, precision, and reckless speeding.

    And that convex Mesh collider really likes to ignore colliding while flipping the craft. (despite Continuous / Speculative CD).

    Will change it to a sphere, which is nice to reason about anyway.

    Game inspired by 1979 Asteroids, a spaceship buzzing about with fast paced stylized space graphics, and often crashes into asteroids.

    Better with these camera settings. Snappier, a little less extreme, but maybe dizziying.

    Same game, but the camera feels a bit different and the player dies only once.

    Silvio Berlusconi heirs weigh up fate of his mostly worthless art collection

    Italian former PM estimated to have spent €20m on artworks, often buying through TV auctions

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/19/silvio-berlusconi-heirs-weigh-up-fate-of-his-mostly-worthless-art-collection

    (I imagine Trump is even worse, unless he accidentally outsourced his art acquisitions to someone with good taste. Or acquired it via money laundering pay-offs.)

    @cstross yikes? It's one of the more harmless things he did.

    Also, billionaire heirs having fewer billions is a good thing.

    Gefängnis-Mitarbeiterin in Bayern bittet uns, eine Gefangene freizukaufen: "Die Inhaftierte ist psychisch erkrankt und zudem noch schwanger. Der Fall ist besonders dringend."
    Die Betroffene sollte wegen Fahren ohne Ticket noch fast 2 Monate einsitzen. Wir haben sie freigekauft.

    Das ist kein Einzelfall. Ein großer Teil der Menschen, die wegen Fahrens ohne Fahrschein ins Gefängnis müssen, ist krank und in einer psychischen Extremsituation. Sie einzusperren verschärft ihre Situation nur.

    @oliverg @freiheitsfonds nee dann müsste die Regierung ja eingestehen, dass Leute jahrzehntelang zu unrecht im Schuldturm inhaftiert wurden.

    Die Reform kommt wohl nicht. Und wenn das politische Klima noch weiter nach rechts driftet... Den Ursprung hatte die Haft für's Schwarzfahren soweit ich weiss im 3. Reich. Passt also wie Arsch auf Eimer.

    Ich bin froh, dass es den Freiheitsfonds gibt.

    Herr Wayne, wenn einer schon mansplained, dann doch bitte richtig...

    Das Gesetz ist von 1935. Es is spezifisch zur Abgrenzung vom Betrug gedacht, z.B. durch Überlisten eines Drehkreuzes oder Münzfernsprechers (also keines Menschen).

    Damit bestand eine Strafbarkeitslücke. Um diese zu schließen, wurde das Gesetz vom 28. Juni 1935 mit Wirkung zum 1. September 1935 die Strafnorm des § 265a StGB in das Strafgesetzbuch aufgenommen.

    The number of YouTubers showing Breath of the Wild footage and low-key or blatantly insinuating it's something that is made with, or could be made with, :godot: , is too damn high.

    BotW is a AAA product, regardless of how "cheap" it looks in terms of polygon budget or animation quality. It is built for a very limited hardware platform, but it's still world class tech art and art direction and literally had hundreds of people working on it.
