cobalt··on Saving 100 terabytes of memory by optimizing 1.1.1.1's DNS cache
Rust supports punning via pointer casting, but you'll want to use #[repr(C)] on any data types used

cobalt··on Why most product tours get skipped
you can find filter lists that do for some sites
cobalt··on Updating Gun Rocket through 10 years of Unity Engine
what you suggest by gluing libs together is more like a framework. Engines have cohesive asset systems that tie into engine and gameplay systems, networking has to work with the gameplay layer, etc. Also, tooling is like 90% of what makes an engine worth using. You need asset importers, level editors, scripting solutions (often visual these days), data editors
cobalt··on Let's talk space toilets
this feels like a chute diameter issue, many older (cheaper?) ones are 2in, but high flow are 3in I believe

cobalt··on Mac mini will be made at a new facility in Houston

cobalt··on I pitched a roller coaster to Disneyland at age 10 in 1978

cobalt··on Making video games (without an engine) in 2025
This is really the case for all engines. Unity is a bit of of an outlier, though took a long time to get where it is.

Unreal Engine is really the Unreal Tournament/Gears of War engine at its core.

Good engines are those that are focused on what the game needs. YAGNI/KISS apply here too

cobalt··on People are bad at reporting what they eat. That's a problem for dietary research
Have you actually tried this?
cobalt··on People are bad at reporting what they eat. That's a problem for dietary research
I would look at nutrition labels for ingredients, estimate how much I used and approximate calories. For prepared foods, I'd look at other common examples with known quantities on the internet and extrapolate.
