People: "You should use migrate to migrate assets in #unreal! It can help you create clean projects and-"

Unreal: "I don't migrate custom collision/trace values. Because fuck you. I don't migrate build settings. Because fuck you. And also, I randomly crash during migrations. Because fuck you."

Have these people... never tried doing the things they say to do? Or is there some trick to migrate the PROJECT part?

Like, can I clone a project and just leave all the assets behind?

@Craigp is git in the mix?

There's a huge opportunity for a good search engine that isn't poisoned by AI lies...but, the technical challenge of keeping out the poison is maybe insurmountable without the resources of a Google or Microsoft, who seem to have no interest in removing the poison from their search results. So, the internet just sucks now, I guess, and will continue to suck for the foreseeable future, while they fight over who can shovel the most shit onto the pile.

@swelljoe It’s kind of amazing that so many companies have jumped onto a tech that is unclear how or whether one can control for quality. Train and pray, I guess.

Okay. Lately I've been asking some cursed MSBuild questions. I now ask the cursedestest. I could ask this question to ways:

  • In MSBuild, how do I split a string into a list?

Or, in more detail:

  • I want to put a newline-separated list of filenames into a text file, and then have both CMake and MSBuild (vcxproj) interpret the text file as a list of files to compile. How can I do this on the MSBuild side?

(Things I've tried, which didn't work, below:)

@mcc I always picture you delivering your toots from inside the tech trenches. “This is Andi reporting from deep inside the bowels of yet another cmake project. Ugh.”

MICROSOFT: Wait, I can explain!

GOOGLE: You spy through the whole OS?? I only spy on the web.

APPLE: Your users know that you're spying?

LINUX: You guys are spying?

HOLY SHIT, I watched Unfrosted, the Jerry Seinfeld-directed, -produced, -written-by and -starring story of Pop Tarts, and I can see why Seinfeld was promoting it by bemoaning the chilling effect of "woke" on comedy - this is some of the most incendiary shit I have ever seen, so many f- and c-words and an absolutely blistering, take-no-prisoners evisceration of conventional wisdom and the status quo.

The people that think AI will "continue to improve" are presumably the people that think every corporation grows exponentially forever.

@Craigp AI will continue to grow—in power consumption.

let's never forget this is how the great Iwata handled the poor reception of Wii U, not with layoffs, but by cutting his own wage.

@mcc Nice shadows!

You know I got me one of them FPGAboys, but I haven't delved into it yet. I was arrested by an idea though. I had read about posits as an alternative to floats and thought, "Cool. Maybe in ten years they'll be available in hardware," then put it out of my mind. But with FPGAs it would seem possible to build your own posits.

Anyway just an idle thought. Love seeing your actual work running on the Analogue Pocket.
