@SimonViklund If and when it eventually leaks, the longer it is, the longer it takes to find the original password. thats the point
English
Can we PLEASE for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY just STOP IT with the password complexity criteria already? We all know the highest risk is that the service itself leaks the password in a security breach, and then what use is the complexity?

@TheGingerBill Discord is basically like a Game Engine. They only have 16ms to render the entire application, give them some slack
English
Wait... are they trying to make it look like the computer is slower rather than it being a server thing? Are they literally trying to gaslight users?
English
Erm... there is still a huge amount of lag, and they've just removed the loading screen placeholder on the right one.
Discord Support@discord_support
Desktop performance just got a lot faster. We shipped a few upgrades that significantly cut lag when navigating through Discord, with the biggest difference for systems under load or with less processing power. Check out the full patch notes for all the latest improvements and fixes: discord.com/blog/discord-p…

@LucasDuroj Imagine using reference counting in 2026. 🤡 Shared pointers are just memory leaks with a permit.
English
Shared pointers are just null pointer dereferences with extra steps.

@molecularmusing I've convinced tech artists at our company to start using @SuperluminalSft to figure out what goes wrong. Couldn't live without it
English
I see somebody figuring out a ridiculous slowdown and a Superluminal screenshot and just have to approve.
Gabriel Dechichi@gdechichi
LOL turns out I was spending 15ms on memset every frame on every thread. fixed, now ~130 FPS (still slow) but shows how it's good to always profile first

@mwesterdahl76 @defold @CHSundberg We are doing a game programmer AW/meetup at Game Town (at södermalm) I can dm you the details if you want to join
English
Tomorrow, the @defold team is working in the central part of #stockholm. Please ping us if you have an AW we could attend to meet other game devs!
@CHSundberg I hear you have some good news tomorrow! ;)

@HSVSphere @stewartlynch8 he wrote his own parser for the editor, clang is too slow
English
Seeing lots of arguments right now along the lines of "my editor/IDE is fast enough for me so why does the world need a faster editor"
So here's a simple graph to explain the difference:

@vkrajacic @kubeccki i was thinking about this today, are you able to log which items are the worst offenders? assuming its the 3rd party hooks. If thats the case users would be able to turn those off in the registry?
English
@kubeccki Slow opening of the context menu is almost always caused by third party plugins.
My goal is to offload that work to a separate thread, but so far I haven't been able to do it successfully, something always breaks...

After many months of hard work, the first major File Pilot update is here! 🚀
filepilot.tech/download
Huge stability improvements, better disk change tracking, and hundreds of fixes.
Plus new features like default file manager support, UNC paths, tab history, new commands, new options.
Vjekoslav Krajačić@vkrajacic
File Pilot, a modern and fast file explorer, is officially out in public beta! filepilot.tech After 3 years of development and hard work, it's finally in your hands! A huge thank you to everyone who helped in any way throughout this journey!

@SebAaltonen if you go back to VS17.12 it gets the good codegen too. probably a bug
English
Compiler Explorer is super important for high performance workflow.
Often you have to confirm your assumptions:
A) A struct of 8x uint8 will be passed as a single 64 bit register
B) memcmp provides optimal codegen -> just a single 64 bit integer compare.

@mwesterdahl76 have you tried going to github.dev and browsing the repo from there instead?
English
It's happening @SheriefFYI, it's happening!!

I have over 20 gigs of dll's on my machine, that is over a billion unique instructions (avg ~10 bytes per instruction). How does any of this work?
English
@SheriefFYI used to be some good posts on the machinery ruby0x1.github.io/machinery_blog…
more about the data model, but that is what drives the undo stack
English
any recommended reading on implementing undo / redo systems in game editors?
English
@ForrestTheWoods i will never understand why people put countless of defines in cmake so it becomes impossible to build their otherwise good libraries
English
CMake is utter garbage. It should be banned from GitHub.
English
@s4schoener the people at vs probably wants to fix it too but are told to implement ai features instead :(
English
(Let me also point out that I don't think the problem is that "Microsoft bad" or "people working on VS are stupid." No, they are probably just as irritated as I am, except that they can maybe also tell the familiar story of how software gets to this point.)
English
I have been waiting for Visual Studio 2022 to unfreeze for the last 30min, and now you get to read about it. In blog form here: blog.s-schoener.com/2025-03-13-yet…

@MakoFukasameTV it does have a good video recorder tho, for those Jira tickets 🤡🤡
English
windows 10 replaced the screenshot snipping tool with 'snip & sketch' - it runs worse, takes 10-20x the RAM, flickers my screen, and has less delay options
modern software consistently takes more resources to do the same things but slower.
Elan Ruskin@despair
All this app needs to do is display 200 characters of locally stored text. How can this operation possibly fail at the loading stage. Why do people program like this.
English
@SheriefFYI no yapping is my new way of not getting annoying explanations thx
