Fantastic, thanks! I might be spending more time on Lemmy after all.
The small binary part is just for fun - but generally my use case is to have an easy to use language that can cross compile easily so I can just pass binaries to the person I'm working with.
Oh hey, it's been a while since I've written this. Thanks for sharing it again. When I posted it last year to the fediverse community, people were not ready for it.
I've started using more Zen Mods recently too, the most important one I would say is Zen Context Menu - which lets you de-clutter the options when you right click anything. There are way too many options being shown when you right clicked the sidebar, but it's a lot nicer to use now.
I use Joplin. It's fairly simple and very comparable to Evernote if you've ever used that, but it's perfect for my needs.
I used LogSeq before, it's very similar to Obsidian, the big difference being that it's open source. It's got a ton of features and the built-in whiteboard is actually really good, but I found it a bit overkill for my simple note taking.
- Logseq also makes each line start with a bulleted list which quickly made me go insane
Electron isn't here to compete with anyone. It's a free open source community effort filling a gap. If you want to defeat Electron, you will need to fill it too; and you will need to do a better job than Electron is doing today — at the things that allow us to deliver a good experience.
I think that's the big takeaway, people like hating Electron (like yours truly), but if you want Electron to stop being so common there needs to be an alternative that's as powerful and flexible. Nobody wants to make that. Electron works, it's stable, it's industry standard, it's not performant but it performs well enough, and you can't beat web browsers in having a massive ecosystem where everything just works.
Tauri tried to be the Electron killer but it became apparent that OS-specific web-views aren't something developers want to deal with, and IIRC they're also looking into embedding a browser runtime which will make it more or less Electron again...
I don't think so, it'll just remove the bad results and you'll have to click next page yourself. Technology has its limits.
that assumes you know exactly what you want though, which I think most people wouldn't at the time of making the wish
I've been on Nobara for almost a year now and am really happy with it. The only distro I'd probably switch to is Bazzite just to try out immutability, but aside from that I'm good where I am.
Thanks again for managing such a great instance. The effort put into everything really shows.
~~The iceshrimp instance looks neat too~~
I low-key wish there were a separate AI leaderboard. It would be really interesting to see how fast bots can actually solve a problem as soon as it goes up, and it'd be nice to compare that to last year.

TL;DR:
Before:
After:
These images are 2 weeks old and there have been some changes to it, as well as a slider to adjust de-noising. Notice how much more pronounced the ambient occlusion is, and how much better the overall shading is. It's also faster than the older implementation.
On the scene I used for testing this out, the overall rendering time went down from 3 minutes to just over 1 minute in an RTX 3090 Ti with an 8K lightmap.
Bonus: This PR shaves off a massive chunk of the codebase (about 10% apparently.) Expect faster build times and a smaller engine size in 4.2!

Huge boost for Godot development!

This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)
Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they're switching engines on social media.
Is it good? I'm very interested in it but too scared to google it because of potential spoilers.
