Programming education videos (https://t.co/FgAYuKKeja). No actual lake measures up to the ideal lake for which I yearn.

@SheriefFYI The merits or demerits of Electron aside, every product is a compromise between user and producer interests. I'm not paying for construction crews to use safety equipment, and yet they do. Manufacturing processes commonly skimp on quality for efficiency/ease in numerous ways.

@hasen_95dx Do you have any solution for non-uniform height scroll items?

Immediate Mode GUI works just fine with full CPU rendering - no GPU needed.
Not even any clever region invalidation. Just caching for glyphs and such.
CPU usage *looks* high, but the interaction is as smooth as it can be, and the computer does not feel heavy at all.
I can have many such apps open and they all work just as smoothly as if there was only one open.
Here in this demo you see several programs:
A process monitor that reports CPU usage of running programs
A "find in files" GUI that can find find text (and regex) in a project directory very quickly
A font viewer that shows a sample string in all system fonts so you can find a suitable font
A profile data visualizer that can read .pprof files generated by the Go runtime
A disk usage analyzer that recursively calculates directory sizes to help you find out where your disk space has gone
All of them are immediate mode GUI programs rendered on the CPU.
All of them running at the same time.
All of them run very smoothly.
All their binary sizes are around 10MB.
The GUI framework itself ends up being about 1MB. Proofs in the reply

@girldrawsghosts Sad we'll never get the live-action version that riffs on a level that is fricken sublime 😢

However AI as a self learning device is awesome. I can ask about everything and get responses quickly. Latest models (such as GPT Pro 5.5 xhigh) are reliable enough. Of course you need to fact check critical information. When I am writing a blog post or a presentation, I can use AI to fact check my information. It's great if you want to dig info about Linux open source driver implementation details and similar. It can also check my physics and lighting formulas for correctness. Having a personal tutor in a pocket is a big advantage. That's where AI shines the most ATM. I can still write better code, but not all code is super important, and lots of code is just for prototyping (throw away), that's where AI shines too. Same for all kinds of experiments: "What if we do this refactoring/optimization?". So much faster to iterate such experiments than before. The most crucial bits of engine code should still be human written. The main reasoning is that there's not that much of that code and it's super crucial backbone for all the projects sitting on top of it. Real human effort has the highest impact there. Since use code can be written by AI.

@WillSloanEsq Having rewatched it recently, Schindler's List would be number one if it just focused on the Germans. The little vingnettes with random Jews seem hokey (the Kingsley character and the maid excluded).

Spielberg rankings: I think AI is the best one by a lot, and then Jaws. Honorable mention Temple of Doom cuz I saw it 10 thousand times between ages 8 and 10. Can't remember half the others. Haven't seen ET since I was 13. I guess you guys constantly cycle through these movies?

@valigo Maybe I just don't use it enough, but is it actually all that buggy? Every time I've used it, it seems...fine.
It feels like the real is that people want just one place for all their games and integrated social stuff, so they reject any Steam alternative out of hand.

Epic has everything to become a real Steam competitor. Their issue is that Epic Games Store is built by their summer interns.
All they need to do is to ask Jeff Roberts (so he asks Casey haha) to hire them a nice team of good systems programmers who are NOT Unreal Engine devs, and let them make a kick-ass native games store.
Literally all complaints about EGS is how bad the software is.

Frasier: The Video Game. Could never get past the art gallery opening soirée level, though

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

It’s funny how Scorsese has made several movies that are absolute horseshit from serial fabulists from start to finish but this one detail in a mostly accurate story is an obsession for some people
Scorsese Universe@scorsesepoint
In Goodfellas (1990), Paulie slices garlic so thin that it would “liquefy in the pan.” This is a subtle reference to Scorsese having no idea how cooking works.

Never once in my entire life have I remembered whether it's going to be Labor Day or Memorial Day . I'm convinced they switch places sometimes.
