i owe so many video game designers an apology

@carlrichell.bsky.social I upgraded to Cosmic and my Huion art tablet pen stopped working. The buttons work. Do you have a hunch whether this is a Wayland problem? Also, I spent 20min installing Gnome back to get it to work, but Gnome refused to load on the latest PopOs. Love what y'all are doing!

Interesting fact: AMD+NVIDIA hybrid laptops require Wayland. This is because the latest AMD Radeon integrated GPUs are not VGA compatible and hybrid won't work in that configuration on X11 (everything runs on the dGPU).

Do not browse your #SQLite data while running tests or you might end up spending 4 hours trying to figure out "why is the journal file not cleaning up after the test ends"? It is not cleaning up because some dummy has the file open in data explorer.

Extremely happy to see Source Spotter, a Go Checksum Database monitor and Go toolchain reproducer by @agwa.name. These use the transparency logs we built into the Go supply chain to keep the Google-operated services honest.

New @zed.dev settings ui is 🔥 I found all sorts of settings I didn't even know existed. Nice job y'all!

@billatnapier.bsky.social I love your Youtube lectures and interviews - keep them coming!

I am doing a survey of supply chain attacks, and it's annoying how 95% of the analysis is on payloads vs. compromise vectors. Yes, you are a very smart reverser and that's a very clever payload. Yes, rolling out phishing-resistant auth is a slog. No, this is not how we make progress. </rant>

The Russian military began training soldiers for assaults on horseback. They claim horses have instincts to avoid landmines.

Wow: “A million-year-old human skull found in China suggests that our species, Homo sapiens, began to emerge at least half a million years earlier than we thought… It also shows that we co-existed with other sister species, including Neanderthals, for much longer than we've come to believe…”

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Are you getting the notifications worked as well? GH website shows that I have unread notifications but the list is empty. I can however see the now banned repos listed as having unread items 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey Everyone, I am new here on Bluesky. I am currently building apps with @flutter.dev and @golang.org. It will be great to connect with fellow developers #flutter #golang

Ok Go is actually elegant 😅

Day 16 Today I was able to use the really cool watermill library, watermill.io to handle the webhooks async. I don't have a need for any eventbus so I am using Postgres. Write the webhook payload to postgres and then subscribe to that table handle the webhook payload later #buildinpublic.

New animation mob. Bloody animation added for a more epic effect and to differentiate them from the cyber monsters. Cyber mobs die by exploding and releasing energy. I add a taunt animation too for this one 😆 #animation #pixelart #gamedev #indigame #metroidvania #aseprite

The Grace Hopper's lectures online are so cool, it's hard to believe she created COBOL.

I just finished the biographic "Masters of Doom." John Carmack is an excellent coder, but he is not as good as I had believed. For Quake 3, the bot intellect was farmed out to a mod maker from Netherlands after an ID programmer failed to implement it.

"the robotaxi can understand road markings" okay, but can it understand an angry french man yelling at it from a vespa with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth? Because the robotaxi will find only one of those things at this roundabout

I've been trying the GitHub Copilot agent out of curiosity. The first attempt at implementing a feature was 99% right, but I'm now two days into asking it to fix that 1% and things have regressed to the point where the entire project is a write off. 😂
