So long, and thanks for all the fish!

[Armin Ronacher ⇌ @mitsuhiko]

Congratulations. Here is a link to localhost.

@jeputz @keysmeys You also want to look at acceleration, flight ceiling, and stability especially one handed while casting spells at disagreeable wizards or transphobes.

@SanitiMC :(

@amolitor99 @matthew_d_green System RNGs are notoriously too broken even for game development. I still remember when we would get alternating even and odd numbers from crappy LCRNGs. Can't even trust them with a fair dice roll.

@amolitor99 @matthew_d_green As a game developer who just wants a little randomness I'm already using a mix of sha256 and an implementation of Fowler-Noll-Vo I pulled from Wikipedia anyway.

I can also thank South Africa for investing time & resources in variant monitoring, despite the risk they face of being stigmatized as a “source” of variants.

They find variants first because they’ve learned it’s better to confront hard truths than hide your head in the sand.

I don't know what's going on with rust, but my sense is it is a small, inclusive community at the brink of major growth involving money and power. This would seem to make it an attractive target for bad faith actors who pretend to care about inclusivity.

@itsfarseen For work I've been using a 27" 1920x1080. I can see the individual pixels. It's perfect.

After a successful eleven year career in software engineering, I am once again googling how to undo a commit.

[Itsy Bitesy Spider @itsybitesy]

It's a red flag for me when some documentation gives me step-by-step instructions on how to do something. We're computer programmers. We give instructions to the computer not to each other.

Got excited thinking I had an excuse to use const genetics in rust today but then I figured out a simpler way using regular vanilla types. 😭

So my cat hates his cat food. Like he eats it. That part is fine. But it is his enemy. Whenever we get out the bag it's claws out, growling, get out of my territory, food.

[Itsy Bitesy Spider @itsybitesy]

And this absolutely would have been assert!-ed in rust (for integer overflow).

[Itsy Bitesy Spider @itsybitesy]

I don't always suck at coding but my voxel game is fully bugs. Like this is a sphere. So stream tonight will probably be me staring at the screen for three hours saying how I don't understand literally anything. I bet it's something that can't happen in safe rust though. I bet.

@mistyjoy11 Actually, fun story, @crzyStwie did.

[Itsy Bitesy Spider @itsybitesy]

I think when a person is genuinely working to create a better a future for all, there's always another person looking to capture that work for their own exclusive profit, and we should use this insight, without cynicism, to, squeeze out as much as we can of that better future.

[Itsy Bitesy Spider @itsybitesy]

Just ban everyone from everything. Then we can finally live in peace.

[Misty Joy the 11th @mistyjoy11]

What if all these people screaming at the top of their lungs at retail workers got banned from the stores?
What if as a society we didn't encourage this behavior?
I worked retail for years and I think people forget that the person on the other side of the counter is a PERSON!

I'm interested in the new Minecraft world generation but I feel like it is technically more interesting but in practice, on average, less fun.
