They're now focusing on bug bashing and patching Windows to make it a better experience? Very good
Rudy Huyn@RudyHuyn
This is why I haven’t posted in a while! This has been a major focus for me recently, and it’s been incredibly energizing to work across orgs and collaborate with multiple teams to tackle these challenges and push shell and File Explorer forward! Follow @pavandavuluri if you want to know how we are improving Windows!

As someone who worked at Reality Labs: the Metaverse had real legs but was obliterated by middle management completely out of touch with how young people actually use technology.
I built a V1 tool that game developers genuinely needed, and the moment it was done, it got shipped to a team in London (to die), and I was reassigned to a "higher-priority project" that zero developers asked for.
Multiply that by every team, and you'll understand why this never took off yet cost 80 billion.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Meta announces they'll be shutting down the Metaverse, after pouring $80,000,000,000.00 into the project.

@__silent_ @weegeeyaboi Oh, I agree. I just think that's the reason some stuff ended up on their (possibly ai generated) list.
English
@flashmozzg @weegeeyaboi Retroactive hate doesn't count, I can hate DX9 now for being overcomplicated and mixing shaders and FVF in an unclear way, but it rightfully so was not the sentiment at the time
English
ChatGPT, make a list of 25 video game terms that can be considered "technologies", I want to sound smart (but I'm not)
BlackBurai@BlackBurai
People hated Supersampling Upscaling Dynamic Resolution Gsync HDR OLED Raytracing DLSS Frame Generation Path Tracing VR 3D HD 3 buttons 4 buttons Shoulder Buttons Analog Sticks Dual analog sticks Rumble WiFi 4K Portable PCs/Switch Gyro Controls All new tech gets hated on
English
@__silent_ @weegeeyaboi Yeah. People hated on early 3D graphics but that was years AFTER they introduced. At the time, people loved 3D even if it looked like ass. "PlayStation can produce mind boggling effects" and all that.
English
@weegeeyaboi I think? hope??? they mean 3D TVs and such, in which case I agree with that one particular point. It didn't even cross my mind that it could have been about 3D graphics

@coop92968 @StillHazoDDD I mean delay is not surprising at this point but what's up with Bamco drop?
English
@StillHazoDDD It being delayed again and being dropped by Bandai Namco is only surprising if you haven't been following its development.
English
It's kind of funny how Fate is this mammoth of a franchise and makes an ungodly amount of money per year yet it sometimes feels like Type Moon is composed of 10 guys in a shed eating mushrooms working one day a week
Wario64@Wario64
Fate/EXTRA Record delayed (was scheduled for release in Spring 2026). Bandai Namco no longer publishing. typemoon.com/news/2026/oMFM…

@YourWaifu Intel bought them and kind of fumbled, then came MS and they weren't better.
English
@likeven2000 @seanta___ Or like all non face-to-face communication.
English
@seanta___ idk what to say man this is just complete projection can you just not imagine a world where someone’s face is de correlated from how they feel
English
my hot take is that [mild] autists are actually having emotions they don't know about, and the listener is having trouble matching up what is being said with what they see on the person's face or tone
Libriscent@libriscent
Them: “You’re hard to read.” Autistic: “My statements are usually literal.”
English
@furiouswhopper @HSVSphere @SheriefFYI Something doesn't have to live in std namespace to be maintained by std team.
English
@HSVSphere @SheriefFYI Was the OP really advocating for "tls literally in the std namespace" or just "tls in the core"?
English
"use as few dependencies as possible" by moving TLS into the standard library is just the tech version of accounting fraud.
chronark@chronark
@albertocardenas that's a very good point actually, I haven't considered that over the years I developed this desire to use as few dependencies as possible though. especially in the javascript ecosystem, there are so many vulnerabilities in dependencies every other day
English
@never_released Often this shit would've been covered up either way. This is just a convenient scapegoat for them to shift the discussion away from "who is responsible for coverup and why" to "le illegals".
English
@dannstacks @melinoesfrog In runs leading up to that you can see him lamenting his decision but thinking that there is no going back.
English
@flashmozzg @melinoesfrog I think youre just misunderstanding what im saying. The scene in which chronos is redeemed happens after the last run in his questline, every run after he is "cured".
There are however a great many runs leading up to that.
English
rlly interesting how the ending of hades 2 makes a good majority of players be done with the game fully. it’s a roguelike lol youre supposed to play after youre done. this phenomena didnt happen with hades bc its ending was better
English
@dannstacks @melinoesfrog It kind of did. In my playthrough at least. Don't know if it was due to updated lines/changes they did in the post release patch or not.
English
@melinoesfrog To be fair, i understand that you cannot remove the physical embodiement of linear time from your universe without breaking it. I just wish his reconditioning had happened over multiple runs instead of just hitting him with the Flashback Beam
English
@pissvortex counterpoint: the true imagination jacker keeps watching porn anyway, for the same reason authors keep reading.
English
@raincollector_ It's still kind of true in a sense that it's not "nobody" but "rarely". Simply because why would you focus your ability on a single element when Nen can be so versatile?
English
@flashmozzg that ability actually didnt summon water it only works on rainy days and the user just brings the rain to them
it is of course water manipulation though
yes i agree
no
yes
i dont agree with the first tweet
English
pondering on this made me realize that nobody in hxh really uses elemental abilities (that i can recall) like even killua’s isn’t lightning, it’s electricity
🐢 isa@KOM4CHI
i appreciate how in hxh explosion or bomb based nen abilities are actually destructive, it always bothers me in series when it seems like every character has some kind of immunity to explosions (& fire) & they don't do shit
English
@raincollector_ @KOM4CHI There was a guy with ability that involved summoning water + surfboard. Killua qualifies as lightning. Are Kurapika's chains "metal element"? Is Feitan's sun fire?
English
@flashmozzg @KOM4CHI an elemental ability is an ability that uses an element thats it
English
@raincollector_ @KOM4CHI You've just listed elements, not abilities.
English
@flashmozzg @KOM4CHI fire water air earth frost lightning

@glugalug @SebAaltonen C doesn't throw anything. That's hardware exception.
English
@SebAaltonen C can throw exceptions. Just dereference a nullptr or divide by 0. Or on x64-64, deref any pointer where the 1st 16 bits aren't uniform. It just doesn't have a standard facility for catching them.
English
Exceptions were a big design mistake. Hidden gotos all over the code base. Not easy to write "Strong Exception Safe" code.
Rust returns error codes just like C. Wrapped in syntactic sugar. Return type can be error or actual type. Much nicer design.
'(Robert Smith)@stylewarning
I'm overhearing a FAANG tech meeting about how this 10?-year product written in C is being transitioned ("modernized") to C++. Started by changing to a C++ compiler, and slowly rewriting to use classes/exceptions, &c. It's been 3 months, and the C++ service keeps failing in prod.
English
Exceptions are an anti-pattern and we have known it for a long time. I can't believe some big companies are porting old C code to C++ because they want exceptions. Did they get the memo 20 years ago?
English
@nehgrei @kilovollt Paige's ult goes through the whole map in a +-straight line. The guy accidentally used his ult instead of opening the shop (dunno how, keys are far apart by default) which accidentally ended up killing Geist on the different end of the map.
English
@TylerGlaiel That's why there are usually backups (a few) to revert to the "last good one". Like what if the power cuts out in the middle of the save?
English
"save files shouldn't ever get corrupted, I am handling all the edge cases" colliding with reality because even a super tiny percent of faulty hard drives or ram times 1.5 million people playing means many save files will get corrupted completely out of my control.
next patch should have an error message for this
