@Peteralm_ Thankfully it seems fixed in VS2026

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

Oh my goodness, it's the VS breakpoint

[Terrible Maps @TerribleMaps]

The average US state

@Lunaryis I've tried to take pretty good care of it!

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

A bittersweet goodbye! I've had this car for just about 10 years. Tomorrow morning, it's getting traded in. This little Civic has been such a nice car.

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@TenebrisNoctua Yeah I have no idea what's going on yet. Other than GPU instancing, I've done nothing to optimize the code yet. And even the setup for instancing is probably a mess with cache misses and such

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

More fun with engine dev! Spinning 100k sprites at around 75 FPS in debug mode, and almost 1000 FPS in release mode (huge difference). This is obviously a very isolated test, but I think a good start.

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@OfficialZidiam I was surprised by how vast the difference was b/w debug and release mode. It's almost suspiciously good. But there's also a potential cache miss issue that isn't being hit with this test, and that's the part I worry about

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

The sprite system batches things up via instancing based on texture & render layer. The most expensive part is looping through and changing all the data for each sprite. GPU buffer gets pushed once before render. I think quadtrees might help optimize this too for culling groups.

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@badgraphix @EvelTM_Games Modern hybrids are quite clever. In terms of price diff: Civic '27 hybrid is $3k more than the non hybrid. I'd have to do the math to figure out the ROI on that

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

I'm unimpressed by the current electric car market. Are there any noteworthy electric sedans? I don't want a large car. I'm tempted to just go for the hybrid Civic at this point.

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@ScriptOff41968 Yeah that's the only other one that would be viable I think! The problem is that the earliest delivery I can get for it is like March, but I'll at least see if I can test drive one

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@SondreMOTE I'm so jealous of the electric options literally everywhere else in the world

[terminal @terminaldotshop]

Reminder to check your kids’ Halloween candy for improperly disclosed CVEs this year.

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@Conor3D So here's some fun math:

If you got a badge every 1 minute, it would take over 247 YEARS to get 130M badges.

If you got a badge every 1 second, it would still take over 4 years.

I feel like the limit might be ok lol

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@plasma_node It's piracy

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@OfficialZidiam My own & my own game engine too. Just a 2D game

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

Experimenting with ECS finally. I have a project that might actually benefit from it, so I'm giving it a shot. So far I really like it!

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

Today was a hard day. Today I went through my box of cables and threw many of them away.

Do I really need my mini USB cable? Or my FireWire? Or my 10 HDMI cables that are only 3 feet long? Gone.

Will I regret this? Probably.

[sleitnick @sleitnick]

@plasma_node Wise words

I've joked for years about how I'll never touch PHP, and people have always told me that modern PHP is safe.

Using PHP is a liability.

[FBI Cyber Branch @FBICyberBranch]

Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in PHP, a widely used programming language that powers websites and web applications. These vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) could allow malicious cyber actors to remotely execute code in PHP core, potentially compromising sensitive data and networks.

The FBI urges organizations to take the following steps now:

➡️ If an immediate update is not feasible it is recommended that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.

➡️ Immediately update affected PHP installations following the guidance on https://t.co/rDrPSxB3zX. Inventory where PHP runs in your environment, prioritizing internet-facing systems and vendor products that bundle PHP.

➡️ Monitor web servers for suspicious activity, including PHP processes unexpectedly launching command shells or downloading files. Ensure appropriate process-monitoring capabilities are in place to help identify potential exploitation.

➡️ If you find signs of compromise, isolate affected systems, preserve your web server and PHP logs, and report it to your local FBI field office or https://t.co/iqgVZIbCru. Those reports help us identify the actors involved and warn other organizations before they become victims.

For the latest information, follow PHP’s announcement on https://t.co/rDrPSxB3zX, CERT-EU Security Advisory 2026-018, and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

@Shedletsky Thankfully I have no idea
