Yup! My whole inspiration for this came from a friend explaining ECS to me and me thinking "wouldn't that work for a JS engine?"

I'll be checking this project out! I'm a big fan of ECS and have lofty goals to use it for a data processing project I've been thinking about for a long time that has a lot in common with a programming language, enough that I've basically been considering it as one this whole time. So it's always cool to see ECS turn up somewhere I wouldn't otherwise expect it.

I just stumbled across armbian recently and I must say I really like it.

I wanted to use UEFI, but my orangepi cm5 modules don't seem to have the SPI chip needed to store the UEFI there, so I'd have to load it on a partition and lose out on some features like persisting variables across boot.

The arm ecosystem really needs to settle on some sort of universal boot loader / firmware layer and stop just hacking up the linux kernel and not contributing back to it.

1 x 1 = 1

1 x 1 x 1 = 1

...

Not prime!

chris37879 · 4 months ago
Depends on your definition of prime, by your reasoning, I could say 7 * 1 * 1 = 7, so it's not prime. Better to say a prime is any number with a set of divisors of length 2 including 1 and itself. If you want to exclude 1.

Your last sentence makes no sense. Something can both be good, and be undesirable for government regulation. For example, it's good for me to eat vegetables. But it would be odious to have a law requiring me to eat X number of vegetables per day. Similarly, a person can be in favor of wearing seatbelts but opposed to a law requiring seatbelt use.
chris37879 · 8 months ago
Your reasoning is flawed, eating vegetables or not basically only affects you and your health, not wearing a seatbelt turns you into a projectile against the general public.

It bonkers isnt it!

Do none of Apple's developer team use any other editor at anytime other than XCode! How was this not picked up in beta testing!?

Here's another gripe:

The tiling feature maddens me!

You cant disable it completely or remap the key bindings.

Did anyone at Apple even test this using a full size Magic Keyboard?

Using the FN key to move windows is fine when the key is down next to the Control key. Which it isnt on the full size keyboard.

And I assume the developers at Apple use the big Magic Keyboard?

So did anyone of them even think for a minute about how useless it is to bind the window tiling feature to the FN key?

Plus, you can't fully disable Sequoia's tiling, so it interferes with my 3rd party tiling tool :-/

To answer your questions, no, they do not use an editor that isn't Xcode. And I would also suspect none of them use desktop macs daily and instead use macbooks.

I feel like this is a book most programmers should work through at some point or another. Doing so made me really appreciate just what's going on inside a compiler / language toolkit. It's also one of the most well written technical guides I've ever followed, it really helped me internalize the concepts, and they are useful all over the place, not just in compilers.

It’s not ideal to have slides that only work if everyone is paying attention at all times. This animation should not be used to impart information. You can highlight changes in other ways.
chris37879 · a year ago
I'd be curious to hear how you'd do the execution flow like they mention? Just use multiple sequential slides?

What are your thoughts on Godot? If you were equally experienced and invested in that would things be different?
chris37879 · a year ago
I adore Godot and have been learning it on my own time, but it's just not there for XR stuff yet, our current project has the Vision Pro as a target, for instance, and Unity is really the only option there. Apple's native tools (Reality Composer Pro) are just abysmal.

But yes, all of my personal projects are in Godot now, and I'm planning to use it for some tooling at work, just because it's UI system is nicer than Unity's as well as it having better support for re-using editor UI components in an application.

Modern AAA game development is suffering a chronic mismanagement problem. Like fimmaking. Poor creative vision, not communicated clearly to those executing it; endless rewrites and rework; lack of originality; poor treatment of staff leading to poor morale; and churning away in the background, the culture war.

Technically the only interesting challenge is "how do we get off Unity?"

chris37879 · a year ago
As someone in an otherwise healthy position at my job, fuck yes, I want to get away from Unity, but there's just no better option for the platforms we're targeting and how quickly we want to ship things. Something about the devil you know, ya know?

I’m curious if anyone has a variant of this idea where an invisible DOM lives alongside the canvas for accessibility reasons. It should work but I imagine it would also take a lot of work.
chris37879 · a year ago
That's actually how Flutter works now if you enable web accessibility, and it does take a lot of work, and come with a performance cost: https://medium.com/flutter/accessibility-in-flutter-on-the-w...
