I think the article starts out correct, but as soon as it recommends letting through `*.go` it becomes mistaken. I'd say the correct approach is to include all your top level files (i.e. CMakeLists.txt, .gitignore, etc.) but also your

IIRC, part of the order was for stuff like Steam achievements, upgraded assets, modern resolution support, other platform conveniences, plus other required changes to the game due to licensing agreements shifting, all of which made slapping

I know from people who actually worked on this that the process of actually getting the game running and following modern platform conventions was somewhat insane and tortuous, but interesting. Too technical for the Times to go into though

I think the only way to interpret a one million line LLM-generated diff with no proper reviews as an employee of Anthropic is that my company no longer has an interest in understanding, or even looking at, its own code. I'd be concerne

A lot of the conclusions they're drawing in this post about the "agentic era" seem quite misguided and some don't really seem to make sense. I have no doubt GitLab has too many employees and can benefit from being a more

The most important thing is probably to use native UI controls, either AppKit or SwiftUI, rather than Qt or other frameworks, even those that espouse the use of native controls. That will get you a lot of things for free, generally. Don&#x2

If Codeberg starts offering Mac and Windows runners alongside their Linux ones for free (or at an achievable price point) for a modest OSS project I'll certainly look at it very closely. If all I needed was a Linux runner, I'd pro

by skrrtww 5mo ago
For companies with resources for infrastructure, sure. For OSS, the unlimited free minutes of multiplatform CI offered by GitHub are literally impossible to replace. Maintaining runners yourself to do the same things would be somewhere betw

If the primary forge's only job is to host the actual Git infrastructure (the code, the MRs, the issues, maybe a wiki), it's a lot more simple than GitHub, and probably more within the scope of what people can reasonably administe

by skrrtww 5mo ago
A "reasonable" answer is probably a primary self-hosted Forgejo instance as the canonical forge, while using GitHub as a mirror solely to take advantage of its free CI, while that lasts, while hosting secrets with a dedicated secr

I'm not sure I'd put it at full slop, but the book is clearly AI assisted. You can view samples on retailer websites, and it features 'interjections' from an AI avatar. Further, in the opening pages, the author feels it

I mean, to those who played them, 'custom map' is basically just a term of art indicating the things you said. In the parlance of the mid-2000s WC3 scene, you would call them custom games or custom maps. Or, if you were slightly o

Is a panel of 'neutral' experts even possible to field in this area? I feel like anyone with sufficiently in depth knowledge of both the AV1 and HEVC specs has almost certainly derived a big paycheck for years from stakeholders on

This looks like slop? The README is full of emojis and kind of incoherent, there are no implementation details, there claims to be a Metal backend that doesn't seem to exist, etc. The dependency list is also...something: https:/&

When I was 12, I watched a redneck in a pickup truck try to race the light rail downtown and cut across the road in front of it, only to get T-boned by the railcar against a nearby station. It was the middle of the day and the guy was defin

This is pretty great stuff, I knew about the raw interop features but had no idea what API Notes offered. Quite cool. I can't help but feel that Swift will ultimately be the "slow and steady wins the race" safe language of th

Does anyone have a mirror of the old Mac SETI client? setiathome_mac_3_08.hqx? I'd like to see if I can get it running again on my old iMac. Either the OS 9 or the early OS X one would work. I checked the wayback machine and the downlo

It's somewhat bizarre to me for this to impact "casks" but not "bottles". Bottles are all ad-hoc signed and presumably have the quarantine attribute removed manually since I do not see Gatekeeper warnings for bottle

I've had the same iTunes (now Music.app) library since 2004, with only one botched library migration with an iTunes update in like 2013. It has 40,000 MP3s or so. I still keep it on my boot drive too. It's a treasure. I understand

Uh, does this apply to the autogenerated source code artifacts? Those are famously not stable because they are generated on-demand with `git archive`. The value of this feature is really undermined if they don't also provide a source c

If this was genuinely unintentional on your part, then bless your heart and I'm sorry for assuming the worst. You might be the least morally corrupted internet user alive today.

This might be the worst named project of all time. Not funny and demonstrates an absolutely terrible impulse on the part of the author. Probably the worst way possible to advertise your project. edit: According to the author in a reply, the
