I'm rather proud of how my SpriteKit particle editor is coming. The automatic conversion between CGFloat and Double makes life a lot easier for proxying values to SwiftUI. I even had an opportunity to use one of @KenneyNL's smoke textures.😀Lots of cleanup left, but feeling good.

@shahidkamal Thank you for releasing this. I can’t fully express all the reasons why, but I want you to know your work and your words have had a profound impact on me. Whether it be through Dancing Monkeys, Remaster, or the tenacity/ vulnerability you showed through Code is Just, thank you.

[Ryan Britt @_RyanBritt]

I missed hearing @shahidkamal on @RelayFM’s Remaster. So, I’m relistening to @CodeIsJust (I’m really glad I saved the podcast while it was available).

@steipete This seems like it’s focused on real time or low level systems. Is it otherwise shoehorned into the language, or is it something that a dev can only use if they need it?

@SnazzyLabs Could the sides be assembled opposite one another (left should be right and vice versa?). I’m not quite sure how the pieces are assembled from the brief video, but that definitely brings back memories of similar errors from my family’s furniture store.

@twostraws I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but that's not even the top of the line M4 Max they're using according to the description. Its the 32 core variant with 36 GB of Ram, rather than the 40 core variant with all the ram that is available to the GPU under the unified arch.

@AnthonyCargile Wow. I’m glad I saw this on one of my brief jaunts through this site. Congrats! That sounds like a useful and fun skill to build.

[Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne @PeteUK7]

Just seems appropriate today.

[Ryan Britt @_RyanBritt]

@steipete Do you know if it’s any easier/more convenient when restoring from a Finder/iTunes backup? I know that used to include a lot more data by default.

[Ryan Britt @_RyanBritt]

@steipete Swift 6 compiler mode is still completely optional, right?

iPhone 15 Pro x @lambofgod

Specifically the Pro Max and I can’t express how much I love the 5x lens

@shahidkamal I've done a lot of research into the topic over the last 6 months or so (as several of these symptoms describe me rather well). When reading the symptoms, I was sure I knew the subject of the book. 😆

@corybarlog While I doubt the team needs to hear it, without the new direction, I wouldn't have been inclined to pick up a GoW title again. I wonder if others would've. Whatever that game would've been certainly wouldn't have influenced and changed me for the better like the Norse saga has.

I've some bad personal news.

The first post in my "Code is Just" thread, the best piece of work I've ever done, has somehow got deleted.

All bookmarks to it and all stats associated with it are gone. All the quote tweets from thousands of people will now reference a deleted tweet.

I'm absolutely devastated. It remains a work I'm immensely proud of. I cannot even begin to process the loss, which sounds absurdly selfish given all the grief in the world today, but there you go. It's a different kind of grief.

If @x can retrieve the post with its stats I'd be eternally grateful. I don't know how this could have happened.

There is an image of the original post in this tweet, and also a link to the second tweet in the original thread, which remains intact.

Please share this if you can, so that people who loved the original can update their bookmarks.

I’ve given up on Musk. I was patient. I’ve also temporarily muted a ton of accounts. I don’t know how long I can bear to stick around here. It really is through gritted teeth. So many people typing so much entitled, uninformed and outraged bullshit here that it’s hard to think.

[Ryan Britt @_RyanBritt]

@shahidkamal To me, that indicates either it is more prevalent or the algorithm has changed to up the rate of that because of engagement. In my opinion, it’s a sad shell of what it once was. In other news, you have an additional newsletter sub.

[Ryan Britt @_RyanBritt]

@shahidkamal @elonmusk @RelayFM Personally, the reason I use Twitter/X is often because the broader art community doesn’t seem to have a good replacement (though I hope one day, Threads could be that). On my “main” and professional account, I often see rage-baiting (which I had culled out of Twitter prior).

[Ryan Britt @_RyanBritt]

@shahidkamal If you're interested in looking at a new "indie" engine, there's one called Hazel that's being worked on at the moment. I don't know if it'd be anything close to what you're looking for, but a thought in case you really don't *want* to go to a bigger engine.

[Ryan Britt @_RyanBritt]

@SnazzyLabs I’m a bit confused by this. Aren’t they officially supporting right to repair now?
