Hey everyone! I recently posted about my latest project, a universal fediverse sharing button: https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-sharing-button/

Is this something that you'd find useful for your website or blog?

#WebDevelopment #WebDesign #UXUI #fediverse #SocialMedia

EDIT: Thanks everyone for sharing and trying this out! I fixed an issue on iOS some of you might have run into, just FYI.

A discussion today caused me to dig up this page, which I recommend any programmer to read (it's related to visualizing algorithms). It has some mind-blowing animations.

Here's my "hello triangle" comparison, opengl/vulkan/directx. Mostly for humour but also kinda scary.

When vulkan was introduced, Khronos stated that OpenGL wasn't going away.

Latest ARB extension to OpenGL is dated 2019. No extension (vendor specific or otherwise) mention ray tracing in any way.

So, what do people use to design their #3dprinting models? Blender seems to work, but I'm fairly certain there are better tools for technical drawings..

"But how does it scale?" is a common question for organizational transformation initiatives. The answer is that it scales primarily via enthusiasm and learning, not via structure or framework.

Example:

Let's say the required outcome is to move 100 people over 10 kilometers. Do you:

1. Build a juggernaut that fits 100 people 🚚 - the "framework" approach
2. Organize a 10km fun run and train people up 🏃 - the nimble, humane approach

The 10km run is the way

My 2 cents on #unity situation. If they can attract a rockstar gamer CEO (say, Carmack) who would open source unity, change licensing to be more in line with unreal, focus development efforts etc, I'm sure unity would have a great future.

What I fear is that they will hire some careful guy with a long career at IBM or Microsoft who won't take any risks and unity will slowly fade into obsolescence.

steam hardware survey says AVX is now 97.28% meaning it's safe to use, and AVX2 is 93.74% which is pretty safe. (AVS512 is just 9% or less so that hasn't taken off)

So in short, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX and AVX2 are usable now.

JIT is just modern take on self-modifying code.

Change my mind.

Introducing: rubber ducking as a service (RDaaS). Pay me 5€, send me email describing your bug, and by the time I'm reading your mail you've very likely figured out how to fix it.
(This is a real service, just use my ko-fi)

1. Learn about some useful CMake option.

2. Try option. Doesn't work.

3. Read documentation again: "New in version 3.30"

4. Check own version: 3.29

5. Quit software.

I'm a gamer. I sometimes play too many games. And I don't mind stupid game stories (most of the time), as I distinguish between story and action games. And I also see, why "dumb" stories are often times necessary for gameplay.

BUT knowing about the rising genre of LitRPGs I really wish people would start reading REAL books and stop writing stupid game stories down as "books". If the story of a game is what you came up with for a book, you played too many games.

There's way more shoes in stores these days where you don't need to tie the laces.

My first reaction to this was negative, but then I figured, why?

The first generation of people who never had to have shoes that have laces are now old enough to make decisions about shoe designs.

And they don't like tying laces.

And that is perfectly fine.

Mind-blowing just how much money's been wasted on the Tories' latest attempt to import US-style gerrymandering. I wonder if it's more or less than Rwanda.

I've seen this kind of stovetop design in some (primarily american?) media, and I wonder..

Why are the controls that control the hot things on top of the hot things?

Sounds like a really unsafe design to me.

@TechConnectify might be able to comment?
