  • Another tui library I've seen lately is iocraft. Although it's got the classic react/swiftui style.

  • A new JS framework! Time to reset the clock!

    In all seriousness though, congrats, you're already a lot further than most people ever get. I approve of this trend to reduce bundle size as much as possible that we've been moving towards.

  • My completely unqualified position is that manjaro is not more stable than arch, in fact, according to the news manjaro's changes are just more instability. I've been running basic arch & KDE for 6 months now and it hasn't been perfect. The biggest issue I've had so far is; "using the scroll wheel in the KDE start menu will crash the DE" and that was fixed in a day.

  • I had a fun one this week! I needed to make an SQL query that would aggregate rows by invoice and date, but only aggregate 5 then overflow to a new row. I also needed to access the individual row data because the invoice items weren't summed, they were displayed on separate columns!

    I ask my senior if there's an easy way to do this, he comes back with "chatgpt says you can assign row numbers then get individual row data with % row number"

    I go to Gemini and ask "how to aggregate rows by 5 and get individual row data out?" It says "you can't" (since when has Ai's been able to say you can't do X) So I ask it about the modulo operator and it gives me an example that doesn't really work. After screwing around for a while I give up and decide I'll just run this query 3 times. 1 for rows 1-5 then for 6-10 and one more for 11-15 that's so many rows surely no one will break this.

  • FYI Android is not about to become closed source. Google has their own internal dev branch and the publicly available main AOSP branch, this is already known. What they're doing is simplifying their release process so that rather than having two "main" branches AOSP will be downstream from their dev branch.

  • IMO, it's pretty good. I've really only got two criticisms. I don't like the active component of combat in my turn based games, but that's pretty minor. My bigger gripe is that I think the last act of the story sucks.

    I was so strong at this point that boss mechanics were purely optional to me, I was capable of one shotting everything.

    Also a lot of the human characters do things that made me dislike them in the final act.

  • Used to use vscode, then one day it stopped working for me. I've been using Helix full time for a few months now and I'm pretty happy with it.

  • I remember being taught phonics in primary school in the 2000's, and I went to a public school so I don't understand why we think this is revolutionary either. Maybe it's just new in VIC? I'm from QLD

  • Isn't the "passive aggressive licence" just MIT?

  • I hate to be all doom and gloom but if the government decided tomorrow that disagreeing with trump was a crime then it's probably already too late for you.

    The amount of information about people online is pretty shocking and no amount of cleaning up after yourself could save you at this point.

    On the other hand, it probably won't devolve that fast so you're probably ok?

  • I agree with you, it was more of a commentary on "what would happen if we had AGI tomorrow".

    We've been 3 months away from AGI for a few years now and it's debatable if we'll ever get there with LLM's. Looking into the results of AI tests and benchmarks show that they are heavily gamed (tbf, all benchmarks are gamed.) With AI though, there's so much money involved, it's ridiculous.

    Fortunately it looks like reality is slowly coming back. Microsoft's CEO said that something like "AI solutions are not addressing customer problems." Maybe I'm in a bubble but I feel like overall, people are starting to cool on AI and the constant hype cycle.

  • I'd agree that in the short term, AI is overhyped and in the long term, who really knows.

    One thing I've always found funny though is that if we have AI's that can replace programmers then don't we also, by definition, have AI's that can create AI's? Isn't that literally the start of the "singularity", where every office worker is out of a job in a week and labourers only lasting long enough for our AI overlords to sort out robot bodies?

  • "we're just trying to display

    <insert field here>

    why is this so hard? It's a ten minute job!"

  • Rust makes multi threading very easy you can just use

     
        
    thread::spawn();
    
    
      

    But rust makes Async difficult because it's naturally stackless so you need to create your own scheduler or use someone else's like Tokio. Also, people have a bad habit of conflating async with concurrency which makes it more confusing.

  • I'm going to preorder monster hunter wilds, I'll do it the day before and pre-download it. Does that count?

  • I hope they can do it, I've always adored monster hunter but I remember playing DD2 on release and the game struggled at 30fps, default settings. The game has gotten better by some amount since then, I haven't been back to that game though.

    I assume RE engine was mandated from on high but if DD2 and MH6 struggle with performance, I'm assuming that the next open world game from Capcom will probably run on UE5 like the rest of the industry.

  • Sony owns Bloodborne, Miyazaki can only be as involved as Sony allows. No way an exec doesn't know this lol.

  • If it wasn't for the game awards section at the top of the page I would've dismissed this as "they bought the domain from someone else" wtf it looks like some kinda cat fashion webstore.

    Maybe that was a website template? IDK how to explain this lol.
