No longer here! Follow me on bsky.app/profile/vvuk.b… (or less frequently @vvuk@hachyderm.io).

@lucasmeijer That episode is _intense_. I remember feeling exhausted and thinking "phew this episode must be almost over" and then seeing it was barely halfway

I’m on my 5th attempt to finish the bear episode with that crazy intense family dinner. It’s just too much too handle :). Acting is so crazy good. Can only do like 5m at a time.

@KjartanKennedy ooh! I will get into the demo tonight or tomorrow :)

@lucasmeijer I'm sorry, can you rewrite your tweet in 4 letter mnemonics so that the tailwind users can understand it? "cs-2 peep tw-y rly n-js igr8 ms-b b-sm r-lg"

C# Web people: do you use tailwind, and if yes, do you really add a node_modules + javascript build process to your project, and do you then integrate that with msbuild? to get a rounded button?

@lucasmeijer I am having an _annoyingly_ great time with Flutter. I'm still salty about it.

trying out dotnet watch for the first time. it succesfully recompiles/hotreloads my serverapp. it also refreshes my browser but it refreshes browser too early. browser still sees old content. if you make another editor, the browser will refresh to see the first edit.

@lucasmeijer git

If you had to work this whole week, without being able to use commandline/terminal. What would you miss most?

@keenanwoodall If you want even more control -- check out the low level PlayerLoop methods. docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReferenc… You can inject your own function(s) into the actual engine loop, instead of it getting in there via a MB Update

It's amazing how so many people are assuming this is terrible for dev ergo. I am insanely picky about productivity. I think about project architecture constantly. I write tools to speed things up all the time. I'm particular about version control. Wouldn't I know best if it's a problem for me? I have been using Unity for 10+ years. I am not making these decisions out of ignorance or lack of experience.

@hackaday Tiny Robot Jam doesn't seem to be listed on Eventbrite?

@lucasmeijer :( :( :(

@vvuk I love rails tho

I feel like I should try some new programming languages, but then I look at Ruby and the first thing I read is integers are objects on the heap and I just can't seem to get past that. unreasonable or not.

@lucasmeijer @karpathy Ha, I was thinking of doing the same -- but in C# using MS's new ML assemblies to check them out. Alternatively, tinygrad

I think my exercise for tomorrow will be implementing @karpathy makemore in C. or maybe c#, but definitely without pytorch.

@RemkoWeijnen I mean I get it, sometimes I can't figure out msbuild either 😂

So Microsoft release THE Windows App, a 30MB exe that is not digitally signed and has no information about publisher etc. Whatever happened to MSFT setting the standard for writing proper desktop apps?

@jonasechterhoff That pile is infinite

Today was my last day at Unity. It's been an amazing journey with some incredible people, but now it's time for the next chapter! (Is that enough clichés? I can add some more in there, I feel like I've been speaking in them all week :)

Twitter in 2014: "WebGL will fail because people will steal 3D models from websites." Twitter in 2024: "How do you download 3D models from websites?"

@__tinygrad__ @boberfly @SebAaltonen this... is not a ringing endorsement of AMD 😂 but also amazing that you were able to go that low level on the hardware!

@boberfly @SebAaltonen tinygrad no longer crashes. We bypassed all the AMD userspace + 90% of their firmware. Can't remember last time I saw a crash in CI, it used to be 1 in 10 times.

News: AMD is planning to unify their RDNA and CDNA lines. New arch is called UDNA. Nvidia chose to include full set of tensor cores in Turing consumer hardware. Most laptops/desktops can run CUDA tensor code. Easier for researchers -> bigger adoption -> $3 trillion company.

@bkaradzic @ocornut but what if you were looking specifically for terrible vintage 90s API design from your abstraction library?

@ocornut "This is very big"?! What this have for indies to write custom engines that bgfx didn't in last 12+ years?

This is very big because potentially it means people can get back to making indie custom engine games without having to write their own Vulkan+Metal+DX12+console API abstraction.

@unconed @rms80 This is an odd question. What happens when you attach figma.exe to an email? (But in answer to your question -- many mail clients will zip up the bundle and it'll work just fine!)

@rms80 But that's just it. There are things you can't do with bundles despite them looking like files, because they are folders. Trivia Q: what happens you attach an .app to an email?

This isn’t an “installation” process, you are literally just copying a single file to a folder. If you come from Windows where even trivial apps need a complicated installer program, it seems inconceivable. I didn’t really get it until I had to ship an OSX app

@DePanther @andytouch Yeah, I don't know why web doesn't show up in the main list -- I'll ask!

@vvuk @andytouch VS discussions. Clicking on the 3 dots brings you to the tvOS topic. Going back, clicking on the Target Platforms category, brings you to the platforms list where you can select web topic. Old web forum link brings you to the discussions site, instead of the web topic.

Unity Forum Migration: - Deprecate the old forum so no one can post there. - The new one is in a private beta and has fewer features of the old one. - Migration contains alot of data thats kind of broken(?) Yep, seems pretty by the book for a Unity upgrade flow. 😄
