mottosso··on Show HN: Odin – The Observable and Distributed Workflow System
Thought this was related to Odin the programming language.

https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin

mottosso··on Show HN: React SpreadSheet – Google Sheets-like performance
This was my first thought as well, as someone who uses Google Sheets (also free) almost daily to manage personal and business information.
mottosso··on YouTube deleted an electronics repair channel [video]
While we're here getting riled up about the subject of this video, the content itself features a cleverly disguised banner running in a recorded video that cannot be blocked or paid to avoid. Well played, sir.
mottosso··on Magnum Engine 2020.06 released with redesigned asset pipeline and new examples
Here as a user to show my support and appreciation. :) I use Magnum for just about any project involving C++ and graphics. Both the framework and community[0] are fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something inbetween Unity and plain OpenGL/DirectX/Vulkan for full control and interoperability with other C/C++ libraries out there like PhysX and ImGui. Go go go!

mottosso··on EnTT: Gaming meets Modern C++
I've been using EnTT for the past 6 months or so for real-time content-creation development, coupled with a graphics framework called Magnum, and am really enjoying it. It's very intuitive and the author is very friendly and responsive too which is a massive plus for to get going and bounce ideas around - https://gitter.im/skypjack/entt
mottosso··on AMD is determined to gets its rightful datacenter share
Or is it Wayland users that lose? On which side will the coin land? :)
mottosso··on Gears
You're in luck, such a tool exists! It's HTML and JavaScript. :)
mottosso··on Elon Musk: Tons of C++/C engineers needed
Flamebait :)
mottosso··on Game AI Pro
Does anyone know the reason why they suddenly became free?
mottosso··on The Odin Programming Language
> Then again zig intentionally breaks on windows text files

Too true. I ran into this after about 10 minutes of trying the language. Copy pasting from a GitHub issue? Better hope those invisible newlines are what you expect.

mottosso··on The Odin Programming Language
From a brief excursion into these smaller languages recently, it seems to me that since those arguments things have settled down and statements made about the language is either now available (e.g. open source, fast compile time) or marked as unfinished.

IMO it does deserve a place in that list today and is definitely worth a gander.

mottosso··on A Sad Day for Rust
Here's another one.

1. Someone writes a library

2. Library becomes insanely popular

3. Users receive value out of library

4. One day, users stop receiving value from library

Is the author not responsible for the value generated by this library? At what point does the author become required to continue providing value?

"Just fork it" is an excellent response to (4), anything else is what entitlement looks like.

mottosso··on Show HN: Beef, a new performance-oriented programming language
The logo is an image of a steak. :) https://github.com/beefytech
mottosso··on EA is permanently banning Linux players on Battlefield V
Unless the server truly sent only what the user is meant to see - i.e. video; no hacks can reveal more than what's in a grid of pixels.
mottosso··on Robotics Development Environment with ROS in C++ and Python
Replace ROS and robotics with <Product> and <Field>, and this is some solid advice.
mottosso··on Can You Overdose on Happiness?
I also have this view. Curious whether you know of any resources to read up on this some more? It's one of those things that's hard to search for.
mottosso··on Latest Firefox Brings Privacy Protections Front and Center

mottosso··on Ask HN: Are you ok?
I was skimming thought each top level comment looking for just one person doing well and was most surprised not to find a single one :O I almost feel out of place saying this now, but surely we need balance? I feel great! I'm doing what I love (for 13 years), what feels like it was meant for me (VFX), have got a partner (for 7 years) that I love and have nothing but hopes (wealth), dreams (AGI) and confidence for the future. Am I alone?
mottosso··on Goodreads Is Broken
Without JavaScript, they load quickly and without popups or membership requirement on my end.
mottosso··on Google’s GDPR Workaround
Yes, thank you. I logged in just so that I could upvote this. Why isn't this more accepted of an answer? Why is spam everyone's goto?
mottosso··on Blender 2.80
Indeed it did! Barely pressed the download button before it finished, and it's 2.80 as well, as opposed to the previous RC. Already updated on Steam too, that's quick!
mottosso··on Blender 2.80
Same issue here (London). Stuck at 0.3 mb.
mottosso··on Windows 10 Debloat Script
Why dual boot when you can debloat?
mottosso··on What's Coming in Python 3.8
Very much looking forward to assignment expressions! It's something I've wanted to do every so often, only to realise that you can't. A worthy addition to the already intuitive Python language.
mottosso··on Show HN: A Firefox extension to leave comments on any URL
I do want a bigger something! Sign me up!
mottosso··on Developers don’t want to show gameplay at E3 anymore
I can relate to this, and feel the same way about hardware, like an iPad or PS4. That's why I almost exclusively buy from vendors that take returns regardless of the reason; like Amazon, Steam and Apple. Now the full product is the demo and I can't remember the last time I spent money on a product I didn't want to spend money on.
mottosso··on Luna – A WYSIWYG language for data processing
I love these. Here's one more: http://blog.interfacevision.com/design/design-visual-progarm...
mottosso··on Flutter desktop shells
> So (3) is hardly better than (2).

As someone developing GUIs with Qt bindings for Python daily, and has been for the past 8-9 years, I respectfully disagree.

Understanding of the underlying types and memory management is rarely an issue (e.g. once every 3 months), and when it is it's incredibly straightforward (e.g. maintaining reference to a window you've just created else Python garbage collects it for you).

Topics like these appear every now and then and remind me how there are still developers out there that still struggle to find the right combination of language and framework, some resorting to Electron because of assertions like this. This is a solved problem for my line of work - VFX and workflow related tools.

mottosso··on Modern Robotics
> check out the free preprint version below

I was looking for it the last time around as well, but just couldn't find it. Has anyone got a link to it?

mottosso··on [dead]
Does anyone have a copy or fork of the project? Was looking forward to playing with it!
