First thing I do on a fresh Linux install is set ipv6 to deactivated. Fixes all my initial Linux install problems. I don't question it, it just works every time.

That's cool. Could you share some concrete examples of your successes?

Don't worry you aren't. Luckily no one will use this distro day to day

Never thought I'd be living in a world where my tech hardware purchases INCREASE in value over the years.

Couple options I've tried. ALICE vision is an open source library (I used it through Houdini)

Also epic makes an app called Realityscan

The term is "photogrammetry" which might help in your searches

My library was recently asking for donations and they said the reason is more people are loaning out digital books which are significantly more expensive. I don't recall the details on the flyer though.

I've had some success with that. It's pretty neat!

Haven't used it professionally mainly because the titles I've worked on lately aren't realistic so you can't really procure the materials to scan.

There's also a Hokusai range of calculators I saw at yodobashi camera Yokohama this spring. It was 60$,I didn't buy it but I kind of wish I did.

Please post your progress! That sounds cool as hell

Not sure if there's anything preventing this from happening in North America but in Japan there are stores that literally just sold broken down bulk items bought at Costco.

I've been doing a 4 day work week and it certainly helps quite a bit. I worry I have gotten too used to it now though.

Yeah I still write WPF Software today and it's as stable as it's ever been. Kind of nice to have a UI framework frozen in time tbh.

Maui on the other hand.. I don't get why it exists. It's like the worst of both worlds between desktop and mobile. My understanding is it's rebranded Xamarin which would explain some stuff...

Wow weird. I've lived there and never knew but now that you've pointed that out I'm realizing we never parked on the street. It's always at the house or the parking lot of the place we're going.

Of course 95% of the time we take the train. Only use a car to go to Costco or possibly go out to the country (even then a lot of remote areas are super accessible in public transit)

Based on your comment it sounds like you have a personal problem with that person which compromises your argument

That's pretty much correct. I kind of have to switch to "unreal c++" context whenever I'm working in it. They have their own standard library etc

You think that's bad. Wait until you see some non game developer coders (I'm being sarcastic of course. The comment I'm replying to is incredibly naive).

Oh I hadn't considered looking at the source but considering how minimal and clean Lua is I should have assumed so :)

Thanks for the tip. That should make for a fun weekend

If I'm writing Windows desktop GUIs I still stick to WPF. Might be Stockholm syndrome but I quite like it.

I don't see the reason to use any of the new ms ui frameworks. Especially if ms themselves don't even really use them.

As far as I know visual studio is still a WPF project so I'm not super worried about it no longer working.

I generally very much dislike dynamic languages but for some reason I've always really liked Lua. I'm not exactly sure why to be honest.

Maybe because you can fit the whole language spec on a single sheet of paper and adding more advanced features is pretty easy.

Love looks really cool. I never got into it personally but I still might

I would as a Windows user if it works as advertised. The official client has been going downhill. I have to restart it about once a day because it gets into some weird stuck state where it struggles to load chat rooms.

Loading a browser context isn't helping.

You leveled up past a point a surprising number of people get stuck on essentially.

I feel likethe mindset you are describing is kind of this intermediate senior level. Sadly a lot of programmers can get stuck there for their whole career. Even worse when they get promoted to staff/principal level and start spreading dogma.

I 100 percent agree. If you can't show me a real world performance difference you are just spinning your wheels and wasting time.

Thanks very much for the info. I'm building one now in a city with a fairly rough drug problem and I had no idea the stamp existed.

Oh interesting. I never hit any walls personally but I guess I didn't push that hard.

Ah weird. Did a bit of searching and it looks like maybe it targeted multiple frameworks with the xna API. Including xna itself

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Celeste https://celeste.ink/wiki/Version_history

I believe FNA is trying to be more loyal to the original XNA while my monogame tends to introduce new features.

I've been happy with monogame when I used it in the past. I'm pretty sure Celeste was made with FNA

It's not my responsibility to educate you. Especially if you won't take the time yourself to understand the problem.

I suggest you read through the sibling comments.

This matches my experience. Unless it's been done to death online (crud etc) it falls on its face every time.

Those are bad answers. Really bad.

I had to Google that haha.

It's in that realm but more complex. I do plan to repeatedly come back and try though. Just so far it hasn't been useful.
