Agreed, in my experience VCS still an unsolved problem for gaming. Git/SVN/Perforce are picked not because they’re the best but because there’s really nothing else. My team uses git for code and SVN for assets and it sort of sucks

I also prefer Datastar but the new features coming in HTMX4 closes the gap more. Happy to see the ecosystem converging on good patterns.

It’s because nobody has made Steam for Movies. Let me have a movie collection that I can buy movies $1-$5 per movie and never lose it and I promise you I will buy a lot more movies. Just like people buy hundreds of steam games

FLTK is great at being fast and light, that’s about it. It’s kind of cumbersome to use but honestly does what it says on the tin. Highly recommend for smaller use cases but can’t imagine using on a large project. I used the rust bindings wh

Yes, we recently posted for an entry/mid level position and we got 1800 applications in a few days. It’s impossible to filter the list, I spent several hours to see how feasible it was and after getting through maybe 150 applications I

Your recent post resonated with me deeply, as someone heavily invested in the Rust GUI I've fallen into this same conundrum. I think ultimately the Rust GUI ecosystem is still not mature and as a consequence we have to make big concess

A teammate evaluated this and the experience was night and day compared to cmake + vcpkg. However, there wasn’t a lot of motivation to cutover our existing large project over because of the unknown unknowns. I think projects like these look

SpacetimeDB looks interesting as a concept (the tech behind this server) but I could never sus out how could it would be in actual practice. I’ve always been interested in some post-mortems or reflections on the tech from other companies be

Yes! I love this framing and it’s spot on. The successful projects that I’ve been involved in someone either cares deeply and resolves the details in real time or we figured out the details before we started. I’ve seen it outside software a

I think the Rust community is sleeping on the potential of iced for traditional desktop gui. I monitor the gui space in Rust closely and have seen many toolkits come and go. In my opinion a desktop gui library/framework needs to solve

Desktop UI toolkits are dead or stagnant but the desktop ui is still king IMO

Basically you are correct, MacOS has to be treated like a console in that way. Except you get all the downsides of that development workflow with none of the upsides. The consoles provide excellent debugging and other tools for targeting th

I develop a game that easily runs on much weaker hardware and runs fine in a VM, I would say most simple 3D & 2D games would work fine in a VM on modern hardware. However, these days it's possible pass-through hardware to your VM s

As far as I’ve seen, Apple is to blame here as they usually make it harder to target their platform and don’t really try to cooperate with the rest of the industry. As a game developer, I have to literally purchase Apple hardware to test ra

I don't hate React developers. I hate developers who build consumer facing software and use top of the line hardware and networks to test it while being ignorant to the fact that most of their users will be using their products on 8+ y

No my experience is the inverse. The type of library you describe is nice for the basic queries but once you start needing CTE, subquery, postgres json query, etc. it just because easier to manage it all in SQL directly.

There’s a big advantage to having your whole application in one language. I’m not sure the experience of egui on mobile though but egui is great to use as a developer Pros - Solid widget set - Easy to get started - Less state management - E

QML is nice and the bridges project could bring it to more languages. https://slint.rs/ Is similar but written in Rust although.

The LLM is just guessing and that's quite okay(ralphminderhoud.com)

I’ve played with Slint and it’s nice but depending on how this plays out it might be a concern. QML is of course much more mature than Slint. It would be interesting to read an in depth blog post by Slint about why fundamentally Slint is be

That’s absurd, that’s like saying we should only use C++ for backend code because my CRUD business app might one day scale to infinity. Better be safe than sorry and sling pointers and CMake just in case I need that extra juice!

Strange comment, there’s plenty of videos of both locations on YouTube to make the comparison and I think it’s quite apt. Chinese (and other SEA) major cities definitely feel much more modern than most American cities these days. Most Ameri

Interesting correlation, if one doesn’t have offspring to “leave a better world” to why should they care? Hadn’t thought of that before.
