enbugger··on Has the cost of building software dropped 90%?
The author "teaches workshops on AI development for engineering teams". This is nothing but a selling post for companies. I don't know what to discuss here honestly, this is more primitive bait than an average video preview picture on YouTube.
enbugger··on CSS now has an if() conditional function
If only Lisp had better presense in modern code editors. Emacs is not enough, especially on Windows where it is super slow. I think this is what actually stops newcomers to start with Lisp and not Python
enbugger··on Stacked Diffs with git rebase —onto
Is there any good guide on how to solve the issue which OP solves?
enbugger··on GitHub to Codeberg: my experience
If I'm fine with my code being scanned by AI and Grok presence, is there any non-political reason to migrate from Github?
enbugger··on S&box is now an open source game engine
And then the forums and subreddits are flooded with miserable folks complaining about how destructive, inextensible and unpleasant to use those experiences are. This is not the problem of UI in engines itself, it's problem of how long it takes to bring it to acceptable state with all those moving parts. For UE, Unity and Blender it took decades.
enbugger··on S&box is now an open source game engine
Yet another one. Along with Stride, Godot, Unigine, O3DE, Flax and tens more. All look like they just want be clone of UE: generic dark UI with inspector, scene hierarchy, asset browser in the bottom and play button in the top. Zero creativity and innovation. Where's Emacs or Vim of game engines which brings its own unique philosophy?
enbugger··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
Wow, author is such a cool kid. So rebelish. I want to be her
enbugger··on Thunderbird adds native Microsoft Exchange email support
It's funny because now the OSS starts supporting extended protocol. Guess MS's next step
enbugger··on IDEmacs: A Visual Studio Code clone for Emacs
Until Emacs resolves the performance issues on Windows, all those custom distributions are questionable for me.
enbugger··on Valve is about to win the console generation
Random guy excessively overusing mango pics and making bold statements is definitely worth attention
enbugger··on Nobel Peace Prize 2025: María Corina Machado
Instead of Trump, they decided to award a democratic party asset that's relevant to current agenda. Just to piss him off apparently.
enbugger··on Where it's at://
Do I understand it correctly that nothing stops so called feed builders just stop showing post of particular profile at day X? Yes, it will noticed but that would not matter much as it can be already too late. Or if to be more general, can AtProto stop intel services to erase/pessimize particular post/profile from the network?
enbugger··on Self-hosted x86 back end is now default in debug mode
Which ways for example?
enbugger··on Self-hosted x86 back end is now default in debug mode
Since when segfaults are declared as the thing of the 20th century?
enbugger··on Zod 4
The library pretty much remained unusable garbage without documentation comments. I have no idea why it became so popular and why this release is named "stable" when there is even no 4.0.0.
enbugger··on Making video games (without an engine) in 2025
Game engine is an art tool in the same way like Blender or Photoshop are. You have to learn its tips and tricks the same way artists do. Usually programmers consider anything that does not have a dedicated UI as fatal flaw hence all the bias towards big engines.

For example, you want to make and thumbnail picture of a 3d model/character. My first thought as a programmer on "correct" approach to that in UE was like well I need to setup a separate world with brand new lightning and have some renderer features off. The perfect "hack" for this is to have a separate "dressing room" under the level where the model teleports into and then back during single frame. Hundreds of such nuances can be only learned.

enbugger··on Ditching Obsidian and building my own
Just a reminder that if Obsidian or Logseq is not sufficient note taking solution for you, nothing will be. The problem is on your side
enbugger··on Show HN: Flowcode – Turing-complete visual programming platform
I'd love Excel where such visual language is used instead of their crap formula syntax. Image how powerful it could be
enbugger··on Scaffold Level Editor
I was always inspiring the level editor in Cube 2: Sauerbraten (http://sauerbraten.org). This seems like an alternative to BSP approach which was more popular at the time. But I think this game's octree-based solution has more potential than just the render and raycast logic implemented in the engine. You could potentially make the entire level fully destructible and keep it optimized at the same time. The level building was also fun when I was teenager. No game allowed to edit levels with other players connected to the server and that was working in 2004!
enbugger··on OpenEuroLLM
To make the regulation even more effective of course
enbugger··on LibreOffice still kicking at 40, now with browser tricks and real-time collab
I wish they improved more on macro developer experience. I recently tried to add basic fetching of Jira tickets information. I tried Basic, Python (various APIs). I gave up because any kind of simple automatization becomes nightmare in there.
enbugger··on Just: Just a Command Runner
Any examples besides the subject?
enbugger··on Genie 2: A large-scale foundation world model
Just like with the images, this will never be at good shape to actually use it for real product as it discards details completely leaving generic 3rd person controller animation.

What this should say to you instead is that stuff is really bad on training data side if you start scraping billions of game streams on internet - hard to imagine if there is a bigger chunk of training data than this. Stagnation incoming.

enbugger··on AAA – Analytical Anti-Aliasing
As a non-gamedev person but just gamer, I should expect that this will replace TAA anytime soon? Should it replace TAA?
enbugger··on DOJ will push Google to sell off Chrome
leave-the-multibillion-dollar-company-alone.jpg, literally
enbugger··on Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested at French airport
>christogrozev

Well, if this guy starts damage controlling, this is definitely a CIA operation

enbugger··on Show HN: Eidos – Offline alternative to Notion
How is it different to Obsidian?
enbugger··on What happened to Captura? OSS maintainer burnout (2023)
Windows's Game Bar (Win+G) seems to successfully replace this tool, at least for me.
enbugger··on Avoid Async Rust at All Cost
I would say something similar about the concept of ECS (entity component system). Especially the reasons not to use it:

- Leaky abstraction - check

- Violation of the zero-cost abstractions principle - check

- Major degradation in developer's productivity - check

- Most advertised benefits are imaginary, too expensive (unless you are AAA) or can be achieved without it - check

enbugger··on Cicero: The first AI to play at a human level in Diplomacy (2022)
>Strategy-grounded dialogue

>moves based on the current state of the board and the players’ conversation history

Imagine, Meta is able to scan your chat history and start "strategically chatting" with your friends on your behalf while you're offline. For example, when you do something against the agenda. For example, going to vote for wrong candidate.
