An LLM solved a coding problem that I had last night in a really elegant way I was not going to think of, and I was mad about it. Then I spent the rest of the evening asking it how to solve all the other problems I had, and it didn't work at all, so now I'm feeling better.

I think every sign in should use passkeys by default with a link emailed to you as a fallback. No option for passwords. Then the factors are having your device, and the once-per-session password or biometric to access your passkeys.

Websites need to have an option for "I do not care that much about this account, it does not need additional verification. Yes, I accept the risks."

Modrinth has banned ai slop icons and added a bunch of other fantastic features, such as a derivative content disclosure. THANK YOU Modrinth!! #mcdev #modrinth

Now available: View dependents of projects! Quite possibly *the* most highly requested feature for many years now, you can now browse for projects that depend on other projects. Also, browse for modpacks that contain the mods you're most interested in playing!

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Tried out the Unplugged AFK mod as demonstrated by Xisuma - game changer. TBH a huge benefit is that I need the first thing I do in the morning to be thinking about my day and what to do that day, not minecraft. And when I wake up and see minecraft open, my whole day becomes minecraft by default.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

Changes to our Contribution Policies – Godot Engine

Godot is growing fast, so here is how we are dealing with the huge increase in contributions.

Rust is ideal for agentic programming because large compile times give you an opportunity to think and reflect

gone are the days of hardcoded block chiseling and crushing. chisels and maces are now used in a new block conversion system that's purely data-driven. with this system, you can use any item to turn any block into another while playing any sound + cooldown! #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

Rust should add unwise{} blocks where you can buy a timeshare or text your ex and the compiler won't try to talk you out of it.

Nobody liked this a month ago and it's a good one, so I'm reposting for visibility. The world deserves to know. It's a reply, so you should tap through for the original post. #rustlang I went out and harvested this screenshot from YouTube and everything 😮‍💨

Quick update this week: houses are now being generated. We built a custom in-editor tool that lets us preview and stress-test house configurations on the fly. Still early days, but the foundation feels solid! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

just finished a microservice in rust. it works. but as it deploys, the logs whisper about alternate realities where function names have deep philosophical meanings. am i the one coding, or am i just a vessel for existential dread?

Why are we making Conway's Game of Life this complicated? Full disclosure, I haven't tested my version yet but dang if I don't feel like I did this right Simply the most confusing match statement possible. The catch-all "otherwise" in the example code will always evaluate to Cell:Dead🤨 #rustlang

If you're really interested in a technical difference, up until Dall-E was released in 2021, a lot of things passed as AI. Since then, the "AI" everyone thinks of, including text and image generation, have all, to my knowledge, been built on top of a technology called "Neural Networks".

Game devs: you don't need to use genAI, and never did

Dunno if they all have rats but I've bookmarked several free asset sites over the years: opengameart.org rawcatalog.com/library/ matlib.gpuopen.com/main/materia... ambientcg.com cc0-textures.com texture.ninja sketchfab.com/ffishAsia-an... ko-fi.com/s/6b3754132c and of course @kenney.nl

@abc3dz.bsky.social I saw that you liked my list of my mods. They are without exception outdated, because I have no evidence that anyone uses them. If you like one and tell me, I'll update it.

Saying Microsoft "open-sourced" it implies they wrote it and it is now under an open source license. Microsoft didn't write that code. That open source project has been in the works for ages, slowly creeping up toward passing the full test suite. The news is that Microsoft published an .exe fork.

JUST IN: Microsoft has open-sourced a Rust-written compatible version of GNU coreutils for Windows. >> uutils/grep, a fresh Rust reimplementation of GNU grep just landed its initial release with benchmarks, tests, and early contributions. Promising but still needs performance work. #rustlang

All my code is strongly typed. I type all my vanilla JS and Python myself, on a keyboard, really strongly.

I've just opened a Steam playtest for the weekend for my indie game. If you wonder how does it feel to play a roguelike where you eat your enemies, and mutate to survive. Give it a go! In Steam, just click "Join Playtest": store.steampowered.com/app/4149030/... #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike

Here's what it's looking like in engine #gamedev #godot

I really want to make a pixel art game. But I also really like animating in 3D... so trying a head transplant (In game it'll be rendered at low res) #gamedev #blender

can’t wait for rust code to be someone’s “something borrowed” at a wedding

Ben Wimsett has passed away after an 11 year battle with cancer. His game, Lumbermill, was never completed, but many of us loved his dev logs on YouTube (BWDev) His family put together a lovely fairwell video and a fundraiser for his favorite charity: www.justgiving.com/page/david-w...

I want to play this game so bad I yearn for the minessweeper

I was going crazy thinking the search feature I wrote was returning extraneous results Here are the moby dick sections with "rope". Are you smarter than a LeaveSteve'th grader?

I've gotten more excited about working in the shell since I was recently exposed to the unix philosophy (according to Peter Salus): - Write programs that do one thing and do it well. - Write programs to work together. - Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.
