the roll your own engine highs are high, but the lows sure are low
just found out you can dump visual studio exception info in C++ on a crash to a file even in a release build and then open the file in visual studio and have the call stack and locals with all the line numbers (optimization permitting more or less) intact. this is game changing for debugging crashes on other people's computers.

UFO50 is so wonderful. what an achievement! what a value!
@selfsame felicidades, senor software engineer!
@toxi I find it's good at writing small, self contained bits of code that can easily be checked for correctness. think of it as a junior programmer (who remembers how to properly sort an array :) that you're delegating tasks to.
a lot of people who come at it with skepticism ask it to do things that it simply cannot do.
it's basically just a very good code snippet lookup engine, not a "fellow programmer".
gamers really hate when number go down

🚨 INCOMING SKILLSHARE 🚨
join us next week September 26th at 5:00 p.m. NYC time as worker-owner @nasser walks us through the coroutine system he developed that powers most of his personal practice and a lot of EMMA projects! if you're interested in unorthodox control flow, architecture for interactive software, or writing code that exists in physical time then this one is for you!

Testing "decal mode" for MRMO-VECTOR.
Objects designated as "decals" sample normals from a "base" object, causing them to be culled when facing away from the camera.
@helvetica that was the point when I finally made the jump. paying $100 a month for software was criminal enough, but doing it for bad software stopped making any sense at all.

We're hiring a Technical Administrator at @spritelyinst! This position is both technical and organizational... more or less you'd be helping the Executive Director (me) carry out the mission of the organization using FOSS tools. https://spritely.institute/news/come-work-with-us-hiring-a-technical-administrator.html
You don't have to be a programmer to take this position, but you do have to be comfortable with using and *learning* FOSS tooling (such as Emacs and Org-Mode, which are used heavily in the organization).
Non-traditionally CS paths to using FOSS tech are welcome; particularly excellent for someone who is early in their career as a free and open source enthusiast, or a humanities graduate student who uses technical tooling to organize their work, or someone who has established experience in the organizational end of FOSS ecosystems. If you feel that assisting in the organization of a FOSS nonprofit while using or learning particular FOSS tools is appealing, apply! https://spritely.institute/jobs/2024-09-12-technical-administrator.html

@nasser hi CTUKO, I'm TUDO
@nasser Union of Service Script Runtimes
it's temping to think sometimes that there is a singular clever solution to a game design problem when in reality the solution is a bunch of small tweaks across the systems
what the fuck Cheryl Hines is RFK Jr.'s wife??
