@EthanRevelstoke @normonics That's a good partial definition of insight.

Being unable to distinguish between the low-dimensional psych department construct called "IQ" and the high-dimensional unformalizable notion of *intelligence* is utter midwittery

@Herman15614714 Perhaps make-work and busy-work are the entire purpose, from origin, of Microsoft's being. That it is as Bill wishes it to be: the greatest distraction from the actual, in history.

@flogelz HOW? Where is the soft particle offset applied, by what kind of normal map relative to what kind of particle texture, on what kind of mesh/billboard geometry? Sorry. Am a dull boy.

Little vfx trick to make particles less cardboardy👀 Make a heigthmap for your particle and use it as an offset for the soft particle feature. This makes the particle look like it actually has more depth!✨ #gamedev #unity3d #shaders #madewithunity #zelda #bellsarietta #vfx

@sebify Rider's local VCS is good to the point of using an external storage and a cloud storage as both a local and offsite backup, so you can just get on.

if I didn't have rider local history I would have been totally screwed by git, bended over many times.

after 3 months of using git in production, I can finally say with certainty that I totally hate it, it makes me vomit my coder soul.

@yankooliveira At least it's not Amazon.

@TimSweeneyEpic Box2D Physics' constraints, joints and solvers - extend from Ivan Sutherland's basic ideas into UI space, spacings and spaces. Makes animations vastly easier to do, too. For a brief while it looked like Apple would go this way. Then Forstall was booted.

Reactive and Functional Reactive programming attempt this, but assume a rather static relationship between document and style. To apply these techniques to the metaverse, with many authors affecting each other’s objects, we need a more dynamic but still “lawful” approach.

For all their complexity, Cascading Style Sheets don’t cascade styles very well. Is there a better approach to defining a document or scene graph or similar, with composable ways to affect the recalculation of its properties?

@krzyzanowskim Is there an a code editor that does this?

the visionary one

@nicklockwood Their war against files found its roots in iOS and its wings in iCloud. Sadly, things are going to get much worse. This is only the beginning.

@michael_nielsen USB: can't live with it, can't live without it.

@C2Pie Thank you, Lloyd.

What's the best way to very (very!) quickly unmount/eject an external backup drive on OS X? Ideally one key command. Very annoying to open finder, right click the drive, then "eject"

@michael_nielsen Cheers!

@C2Pie Given your provenance as the hallucinatory barman at the Overlook Hotel, I'll take that with a grain of salt...

@mw_bankers @UnityCodeMonkey Unity broken for good, now?

@C2Pie @UnityCodeMonkey 36 min to late 🥲

@defaxer Hard thunking stuff. Sorry you are faced with this. What's the tool do?

Is this a good time to ditch Unity just before release of my tool to asset store realizing all efforts were for nothing, or just relax and finish it even if releasing it means months of support for nothing? #gamedev #indiedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #unity3d #indiegames #Unity

@garrynewman @SquaredApe Perhaps Unity's core business always money raising on the notion a game engine can be a software platform for service charges. This deal looks like a late stage continuance of that. Perhaps last possible, as seems blatantly backhanded. The "fark'n idiots" quote just diversionary?

I guess if you put someone who doesn't understand game engines in charge of a game engine business, they'll try to change it into a business they understand

@balajis @polarpunklabs @afropolitan Nothing would help this more than competing, usable and actual currencies. Until at least a few of these exist, you're just cosplay contrarianism.

@polarpunklabs It’s built to be friendly to that kind of thing. The network state is a toolbox for people dissatisfied with the current order, who want to build a new society nonviolently and pragmatically. That’s everyone from @afropolitan to the Catalonians, from localists to technologists.

@ProBuilder3D this you?

@protopop @MattGambell @flibitijibibo @cmuratori Unity: "We're one step ahead of our users."

@flibitijibibo @cmuratori Unity cancels game development project meant to teach them how hard it is to maintain a long-term project in Unity because it was too hard for them to maintain the long-term project in Unity.
