Re:I Use Obsidian on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @08:18AM (#47060636)
I've been doing this as well, but using regular editors. What benefit does Obsidian give here that a text editor doesn't give? You just want to write/paste something for storing but I never understood why I needed a different editor for it.

Network connection, lobby, matchmaking, leaderboards or even chats, yes. But the actual simulation, probably not for fast paced twitchy shooter.

Also not just for performance reasons, I wouldn’t call BeamVM hard realtime, but also for code. Your game server would usually be the client but headless (without rendering). Helps with reuse and architecture.

The best query builder I’ve seen is Kysely and it works because of anonymous sum types. So far no other library in any other language has come remotely close. You’d think Rust would have that level of type safety, but alas no.

Wow that was a big difference between rayon and fork union. But it’s still missing convenience apis for drop in par_iter().

The way I understand it, its for those who can't help but to fix B while working on A and want to make sure that they are two different PRs? The way I do it is after B is done, I just create a new branch and point B to A in the PR. A is pointing to dev/master/upstream. Does JJ make this workflow more convenient?
The training course to sneak past behind enemy lines for the SF role was the hardest, lol.
I loved how slow that game was, my favourite map was the bridge one, before they added the ridge so you could circumvent the bridge as a chokepoint.

If you want cohesion between entities pathfinding, adjust the cost when you do the pathfinding for tiles that has friendlies on them to be lower than their base cost.

The way to think about water crossing with naval transports, is to consider those things to be conditions. You already have a set of condition when pathfinding. Just add another case for water. Make it so the requirement is that you’re either on a ship or there is a ship on the adjacent tile you checked previously, e.g N-1. If valid, set a flag and now every tile check that is water should be appropriate.

This is the address they gave to the driver,full stop. After the job’s done, you can’t just tack on extra requests like it’s a buffet. He delivered exactly what you asked, not a mind reading bonus round. It’s not his fault you gave the wrong address, he’s not clairvoyant.

Jesus, this is a regression not a feature, for christ sake. Typed CSS via emotion/styled-components is an amazing feature to call it overkill. This alone is enough to dismiss nue.
Re:Koto Programming Language on Saturday March 29, 2025 @10:39AM (#43515928)
The documentation and integration with Rust for this amazing, well done! Like other commenters, I also wish it had better static typing and looked more like Elixir with anonymous sum types and template literal types.
Re:DOGE's Only Public Ledger Is Riddled with Mistakes on Saturday February 22, 2025 @06:05PM (#43144213)
Whatever metric you use to deny certain sources, should be used on this one, but it's not. Especially now that it's proven that they are both ideologically & financially captured. There's no cause here, I am asking you to be consistent. You have changed policies in the past, but now that's not happening?
Re:DOGE's Only Public Ledger Is Riddled with Mistakes on Saturday February 22, 2025 @05:12PM (#43143802)
So... they have found out that emotional extortion about unemployed bureaucrats no longer works and have focused their talking points marching orders into "they are dismantling the government, but doing so poorly".

I just want to point out that nytimes.com got $3 million. Your mutated Gell-Mann Amnesia is kicking in. You wouldn't offer this benefit to zero edge or others, the reason you haven't seen them is because you don't want to.

You've never changed policies before? Maybe it's time.

Whish there were some CLI to speed up this process actually. Just cd:ing into a folder should pull everything down for you to run iex/irb/node/etc as if it was native but running through the container.
Snipkit and Pet.

I prefer Pet, mostly because Snipkit makes me verify 20 times (slight exaggerated) and doesn't give me the actual command so it'll be part of the shell history.

Honestly, just dump the command in my shell and let me press enter and make that the confirmation, but whatever.

You can give arguments with default values, so they are reusable across projects.

Yup, same experience. Nerdy stuff is "white" stuff and peoples into gaming and tech were harassed and ridiculed by other immigrants.

That happene when the likes of you become mods. I went back far enough to check. But hey, don't let that make you wonder.
Women have less rights than men there. But yeah the real problem is words being thrown around about a nation that still beheads people. That's the real problem and you're okay with emphasizing that problem more the fact that the other issues stated on say Wikipedia about Saudi.
There is an agenda to please retain groups of people. But yeah, I don't think it's about logic, I think the situation has just become a symbolic issue for powerful groups that feel like they're doing the right thing.

Erik Prince is actually a good guy. You have to waddle through the metric ton of shit leftist journalist write about him so it's understandable why people like to blame him.

It's funny how Prince gets the blame for what islamists have been doing for decades. Islamic imperialism existed before Prince, before the US and unfortunately unless LKY comes back from the grave with an armada it will continue to exist after we're long beheaded.

You should tell that to women and kids who were hit by chemical bombs from British Muslims in Rojava.
Re:Bye – Why I'm leaving Medium on Wednesday April 13, 2016 @07:46AM (#11487328)
I remember Anil Rash being behind Medium, if I remember correctly that should give you an indication on why there is so much trash on it. You're not wrong, just missing why it is the way it is. It makes more sense now, doesn't it?
Yea, it does. You go live under the threat of Taliban, Hamas, ISIS, etc.

Sorry but you keep ignoring the people who the Taliban threaten the most aren't just Americans.

In Sweden being offended is big business getting a lot of government grants. Some really shady fuckers (ISIS) supports have gotten a lot of money that way.
