mastodon 4.7.3Non-slop programmer.
Independent maker of games.
Cofounder of my game studio Berry & Cloud.
Working on Bioplanet Kamaryn, a game with a new Vulkan based GPU-centric engine. Expect weird things.
I support free software and the #FSF and planning to release the game's source as #GPL while also selling it on the usual platforms.
I'm from #France but living in my secret base somewhere remote in #Quebec.
Previous work: EA (Army of Two series), cofounder of Minority Media (Papo & Yo, many more).
I'm curious, does anyone else like to line things up in code with spaces this way?
It's basically applying the "Make Alike Look Alike" principle from Christopher Seiwald's "Seven Pillars of Pretty Code". I've always done this (even before that article) and it's helped me spot copy & paste mistakes many times.
But it seems like a lot of the time automated code formatters will mess it up, which is unfortunate. It's one of the main reasons I never use them.
@cascheranno@hachyderm.io @mrt181@mastodon.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca I see two possible outcomes of AI progress and neither suggest it'll help at all to learn how to work with it.
At this point it seems it's settled.
No matter how many times I'll try to project a world position with a perspective projection, I'll spend a couple hours debugging how I seem to have a weird offset multiplying my result, that seems to somehow depend on the distance of the object to the camera.
And then I'll re-discover that I have to divide the projection result by the w component.
Every. Single. Time.
I must have done this a hundred times over the years by now. 🤦
I'm seeing some people say using AI agents will make them augmented humans.
Let's think about it: using any tool makes us less able when we are without the tool. In some cases it's acceptable. I'm less good at arithmetic than if I never used calculators. I'm less strong than if I never used machines to move heavy loads.
Now, would you want to do that with THINKING?
Relying on machines for thinking will not make anyone a super-human.
If anything it would make you an inferior human...
I think to protect both freedom of religion and prevent indoctrination of children, the following rules should be established:
- Children under 18 are forbidden from attending churches and other religious services or teachings
- At 18, every adult receives a standard brochure explaining the available religions to pick from (including atheism), with a helpful comparison matrix to help them decide. Possibility of heaven, allowed foods, dress code, number of virgins available after martyrdom, etc.
Tragic incident, but the only explanation I can think of is Pokemom Go.
