I made an internal GUI tool for company in Godot. It uses GDExtension to interact with OS systems, namely serial/COM ports. Yes, you can make quite good desktop GUI applications in Godot, with mostly its default toolkit! Also, explorin

Why not have WMs and DEs specialized for specific disability categories?

Yeah, I got the impression that Reticulum's main claim is that it replaces the IP stack with a future-proof, encrypted protocol for routing regardless of the underlying network medium. Which is not an insigificant claim to test, but bo

There's a third way here. It could be called many things: Single ownership by default, automatic stack lifetimes, hidden unique pointers, etc. The main idea is that the lifetime of dynamic heap data is treated no differently to primiti

LLMs are vectoring towards solving problems of software quantity. What remains is judgment, caution, and taste for quality. Much as computers have made creation in other industries much easier, we're likely to see a glut of crap softwa

That is definitely not what the Maya did. Or really any civilization with large permanent cities. The record of forest cutting once settlements reach a certain size is consistent and global. The Amazon simply experienced a full civilization

To recognize the possibility, one has to grapple with incredible scale and deep time: In roughly 300 million years (1/10th of the time life has been around), the Appalachians split off from the Atlas; the Atlantic Ocean first started s

I know the link is by the creator of Odin, but I can speak personally for my passion for seamless tools. I have ever had as seamless, high-flow of a development environment as I do now using Nim with Sublime on Mint at work. Every one of th

What "constructive" argument is anyone supposed to give about authorities having warrantless access to all private conversations?

The fatal flaw here being that secondary sources and tertiary ad infinitum are all always motivated. It's inescapable.

Calisthenics is a really easy way to push intensity at basically 0 risk of injury. They're all compound and depending on the variation could require high reps, but between push ups, pull-ups, squats, their numerous variations, and acce

I recently learned, through visual intuition, how the relative perception of time between two subjects changes as relative speed between them changes. It's because they are observing each other from an "angle" in the time dim

A significant portion of the population DOES want to read and engage with long-form content and discussions. They simply don't want it to be drivel. Traditional corporate/state journalism produces drivel. Substack is flourishing f

Man, all of the confusion and gnashing of teeth in the C++ world really makes me grateful for my job. Smaller company, I solo develop a central module on the product stack, and I was able to evaluate languages for the project. Nim became th

Janet is ALMOST an incredible tool...but what I want is a very clear bifurcation between the standard library's stateful mutating procedures, and stateless value-returning functions. I ran into that wall hard trying to make something n

The most fun I have playing Magic is a "Reasonable Cube" sealed draft: Buy or make a cube with a very normal distribution of cards, nothing crazy (I bought a cube made by Card Kingdom some time ago). There will be 90 spells per ea

Nim does much the same. It prefers the stack, wraps dynamic heap types in value-semantic unique pointers by default, and avoids implicit copies wherever it can. I could see compiled languages trending in the stack-managed direction long ter

A creative's best work is born from constraints. It's why PICO-8 exists for people nostalgic for that specific olden era. I think the PSP could make a fantastic target for meatier handheld-focused games that put design first, as m

The entire Internet can bear the burden of free speech. I hold encyclopedias to a much higher, gatekept standard.

Agitprop like "aesthetics are fascist" is pretty blatant opinion. Live up to your own standards.

A) Non-argument. B) Repositories of knowledge should not contain anti-knowledge.

Are you seriously suggesting an encyclopedia should be packed with crackpot conspiracy theories, academic charlatanry, quackery, and agitprop? Or does that not defeat the point? Keep the author's biography, but his "theories"

I've produced a staggering variety of documents with Typst. Books, booklets, slides, cards, documentation, everything. In most cases I only need a minimum of custom styles and behaviors at the top, and very occasionally a whole styling

Clojure might be the least esoteric language ever. Call a function, get a value.

If you use Nim, it's value semantics by default. Everything (and I do mean everything, all types primitive to composite) is managed by the stack, including stuff that needs to hold a heap pointer. All lifetimes are scoped. You only get

My prolific Typst use, along with quickly improving side-by-side editors like Typesetter, are rapidly diminishing (in my eyes) the reasons for WYSIWYG to be. Sure, normies need it, yadda yadda. Is it worth the staggering cost? The file form

I really wish the FreeCiv team would focus on their SDL build instead of all these fiddly and very fickle UI toolkits. They have an incredibly cool hex-based hybridized Civ 2/3 ruleset that might be the best of all worlds, IF it could

Speaking from personal experience, Godot has the sneakiest potential. It has all the UI components and flexible layout containers you could ask for, a signaling system that lets you put the methods from less relevant components in the scrip
