Recently ive gotten into Unity. Have made games before but always avoided engines. This time im taking a deeper dive and want to learn at least the basics of a animations, lightening, movement and lay around with interesting combat variations.

C# is fine since i already know java.

Fcb for me it's ads, ads ads and even more ads. The newsfeed is complete slop from news outlets. It's just extremely noisy. The only thing that I use there is the Messenger because my older friends aren't too savvy with Whatsapp.

And even the Messenger app is a sloppy behemoth of an app with barely working Search. This is coming from a company with thousands of engineers and the core features of the business barely work.

98% of newsfeed is recommendation slop.

What good has Meta even done?

They harm teen mental health with their products and farm user data. What an achievement of youth to waste it on that noble mission.

I am against this but acting like LinkedIn isn’t basically a database of pictures is naive.

You want to date your pic ends up on a server.

That’s just the way this works.

If this is true: "AI is gonna take everyone’s jobs" then AI is the terminal technology and everyone who doesn't want to be poor forever needs to throw all their money in it.

Of course it impacts company valuation.

Yet the measures taken far exceeded the damage than if we had let the virus take its course.

The problem wasn't the mortality rate, it's the fact that the media can cleverly turn something in a huge deal by talking endlessly about it. During COVID, there was no other news except the virus on news for 24/7.

Every Byte Matters 2 months ago

Why doesn’t the machine fill up the other cache lines as well why is 64 bytes only and then a miss?

Ruby for Good 2 months ago

Why does Ruby still have this artisinal aura to it, never seen C/C++ For Good gathering.

What problem does Docker solve which is fundamental? None. Zero. Zilch. I've used it two times and except burning dev time with its random BS has no benefit whatsoever. I guess if you run a 200K line app and working with 20 devs will make things slightly easier?

On M1 launching the docker containers lagged the entire system.

Trying to mount a volume caused issues. (known issue) The official web app advertisies it as multiplatform which it's not.

Anything more complex than hello world become a nightmare on Docker. PM2 as process manager and simple bash scripts demolish Docker which sounds too good in theory but is half-baked in practice.
