> That's an editor for single game. The more generic you make it, the worse they are to use.

...and yet Unity and Unreal are quite popular compared to "rolling your own editor", and very few people do it. Most people seem to be happy with the Unity/Unreal/Godot tools, with generic IDEs, with generic image editors, with generic 3D editors, with generic DAWs, etc etc etc.

A standalone scene editor doesn't have to be more generic than Unity or Unreal. The idea is providing a base for engine makers to work on, not the opposite.

Part of the success of generic solutions is due to cost. Not every game developer has the time and resources to make a tool like the two you mentioned. And also engine makers, not all of them have the time and resources to do an editor like Unity or Unreal.

A good generic editor is better than a shitty specific editor. It's also better than a non-existing editor.

> It's the same thing with IDE. The more plugin friendly you make your IDE, the less optimization chances you have.

Visual Studio Code, vim and emacs are actually extremely extensible and very performant. The sweet spot seems to be much more performant than you seem to assume.

I live in Tokyo now, but I'm from Valencia, Spain. I knew the train there was bad when the local subway network, called "metrovalencia", was known locally as "metrovalenshit" (there's even a twitter @metrovalenshit), but compared to other cities or specially Tokyo it's like a toy. In here (Tokyo) they make major station changes without even disrupting traffic[1], the only time traffic is disrupted meaningfully is when there's a major earthquake/typhoon.

Back in Valencia, the gvmt started building a new line, but then they abandoned it for over a decade. In some weekends with strong rains it floods. At least we got to see really beautiful pictures when someone entered and navigated with a boat! Multiple times across the years[2][3].

If you go a bit more local (smaller towns) and want to take a bus that is scheduled every 20 min, you go to the bus stop and hope that one will come within the next hour. We had to help a foreigner once that was gonna miss her flight since she was waiting for over an hour with no sight of a bus.

It can be solved by realizing that private websites ARE NOT public fora.

They have never been, are not now, and will never be.

HN has, and will again, removed comments that I have made again, particularly if they stray too far from the party line regarding cryptobros, SEObros, and devs who whore themselves out to ad companies when they could be doing actual real work that benefits humanity while making just a little teeny tiny less money but whores are whores so they'll keep on keeping on.

I'm fine with that. And you should be too.

If HN was a public square I could tell them to fuck off. Nothing I said would meet any community standards and obscenity triggers in any courtroom in any jurisdiction of any court in all of the United States.

"Oh but HN isn't as big as Twit.." is bullshit and has been tried before. Anyone who makes this argument is so intellectually bankrupt they should be banned from the internet for being too stupid to operate an internet browser.

You have the same "public square" rights in Times Square that you have in Lotsee Oklahoma (0.02 mi sq), which is smaller than Times Square (0.25 mi sq).

Private parties can set arbitrary, capricious, subjective, unfair, and mean rules about what they allow on their platforms, and don't even have to set any rules besides "because we said so".

Anything less is tyranny.

edit: if public websites are TRUELY public fora, there could be a very strong argument made that hiding my comment due to downvotes is an assault on my rights, similar to covering my sign with a blanket as I try to agitate in ACTUAL, REAL, public squares for civil rights or the legalization of marijuana or the proselytizing of my TIMECUBE religion. Unless, of course there exists "important and real" free speech and "not important" free speech but allowing for that distinction is probably more dangerous than having no free speech at all...
>Furthermore, what's wrong with a subscription model? GMO seeds costs money to develop and that has to be recouped somehow.

Developing countries must import seeds which forces them to export something to maintain balanced trade. Most developed nations are fighting currency wars against each other and developing countries which means they can at best export natural resources like oil, gold, raw copper or diamonds.

These type of interpretations were actually one of the concerns within the Free Software movement when the Open Source terminology started to appear:
"Why Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software"
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....
Open Source terminology, how it was coined, was exactly to not imply that it was 'Free' in any sense, so things like BSL actually practice Open Source in the original sense.
But your logic seems to indicate that only one wall will have condensation instead of 4. It’s still an improvement no?
• As a rough rule of thumb, TeX can do about 1000–3000 pages a second on today's computers.[1] This is for a (presumably typical) book that was written in plain TeX.

• So if your LaTeX document is taking orders of magnitude more than about a millisecond a page, then clearly the slowdown must be from additional (macro) code you've actually inserted into your document.

• TeX is already heavily optimized, so the best way to make the compilation faster is to not run code you don't need.

• Helping users do that would be best served IMO not by writing a new typesetting engine, but by improving the debugging and profiling so that users understand what is actually going on: what's making it slow, and what they actually need to happen on every compile.

To put it another way: users include macros and packages because they really want the corresponding functionality (and everyone wants a different 10% of what's available in the (La)TeX ecosystem). It's easy to make a system that runs fast by not doing most of the things that users actually want[2], but if you want a system that gives users what they'd get from their humongous LaTeX macro packages and yet is fast, it would be most useful to help them cut down the fluff from their document-compilation IMO.

[1] Details: Try it out yourself: Take the file gentle.tex, the source code to the book "A Gentle Introduction to TeX" (https://ctan.org/pkg/gentle), and time how long it takes to typeset 8 copies of the file (with the `\bye` only at the end): on my laptop, the resulting 776 pages are typeset in: 0.3s by `tex`, 0.6s by `pdftex` and `xetex`, and 0.8s by `luatex`.

[2] For that matter, plain TeX is already such a system; Knuth knew a thing or two about programming and optimization!
Am I the only one who thinks areopress seem like a giant scam? I bought this and I honestly can't see a difference between simply pouring hot water over a ground coffee. Aeropress seems like a bothersome extra step that does not add anything, actually I think the coffee doesn't even taste that good from aeropress.
I'm not sure, but the business model of them is ad revenue - they get paid as soon as the page loads. Adding the require attribution & license disclosure wouldn't hurt them at all, so I'm assuming they're either already doing it or will start doing it if asked.
Signs point to no. But their web site is pretty complete. (https://www.mt.energy/wattair)

That said, given the market, I would expect about a year of analysis to get the design win, then another year or two to get first products from design into production. I find their idea of going after electric busses "first" as a stretch since a) all e-busses are currently made in China so the technology transfer would be challenging, and b) there aren't that enough municipalities committed to e-busses yet to make a viable market for Montana Energy (if they capture 100% of the E-bus market they sell about 1000 units this year, probably not enough to sustain a company).

That makes me wonder about the company.

If it is run by scientists who insist on going for the most efficient implementation rather than by engineers who understand getting the value of having anything on the market, the company will fail.

It's not a binary "dry/wet" thing. If you live in a humid place, you can probably remove quite a bit of moisture from the air before you encounter those symptoms.
Way to miss the point. Even with your grouping, you can't make any predictions about what the individuals in those groups would do. That's what both MBTI and astrology are fundamentally about.
If I struggle to remember what sports journalism was like before Deadspin, I can just look at ESPN or Sports Illustrated, and it all comes nauseatingly back to me.

In print, the WSJ has some surprisingly good sports coverage, although not very much of it. And then they have Jason Gay, who seems to only glom onto meta-sports issues and niche sports like bike racing. But their other writers write about the actual games.
Train transport is far less, about seven times less, intensive per passenger than cars. Trains allow the production of CO2 to be centralised into a few power plants, owned by a handful of companies that are easy to monitor, regulate, and put around a table to coerce into emission-free solutions. Spain’s electricity carbon intensity is expected to fall from 167 g/kWh in 2020 to 37 g/kWh in 2050 thanks to the exceptional potential of all types of solar and abundant opportunities for wind farms.

If you don’t believe me, plot the numbers yourself: train impact will literally be the width of your pen.
Suggesting things on this site is such an easy way to get better solutions. Thanks!
No it doesn't. Working towards a modest reduction in emissions is massively different than banning fertilizer use overnight.

> has anyone even proposed an "engine agnostic" IDE experience for game dev?

I'm working in this direction. My focus is on higher-level editors for making worlds, meshes, animations, sounds, and visual effects. So far it's mostly written in Luau (Roblox's open source version of Lua) and the first engine integration is Unity. You use the editors and a Luau API to make your game. The API for now is part Unity-inspired and part Roblox-inspired.

I have the editors and Luau integration working well enough that I'm now using them to build a game. I plan to do that before supporting other engines. I've been building with other engines in mind (including having an abstraction), but I wanted to prove (to myself at least) that the editors have value before going down this path.

I'm kind of taking some risks with the editors, e.g. they're diegetic (all in-world UI). My main goal is to build higher-level editors that are actually fun to use, and then supporting multiple engines is secondary. Good to know someone else is thinking about that though!

I post about progress here if you're interested: https://twitter.com/kineticpoet

Cowboy-coffee is just a pot with water and coffee grounds on a fire. Apparently there is a trick involving adding egg-shells to the grounds to make them settle more quickly (never tried it, though).

The other note I'd make is industrial vaccination capacity. We've gotten pretty damn good at identifying, synthesizing, manufacturing, and distributing influenza vaccines at scale on a yearly basis.

If a deadly influenza strain is in our future, we're decently prepared.

On the other hand, we haven't manufactured or administered human pox vaccinations at scale in... 50 years?
Surely the closest DE to Gnome 2 is MATE, which is literally just GNOME 2, but with development continued.
If it reduces the humidity to just the point where condensation would form in the A/C coils, you won't see any change (except to reduce the load on the A/C).
For anyone trying to understand whether dehumidification alone is enough to make them comfortable try the link below - load the 'givoni' comfort overlay and your city's weather chart. If most of the weather is [edit] vertically above the comfort zone or possibly the natural ventilation zone adjacent [/edit i originally wrote in the 'evaporative cooling' zone shown which is wrong] its probably a good choice for you.

It's my understanding that link spamming has become counter-productive since a Google algorithm update almost a decade ago? I'm not sure what they're doing but I don't think it's link spam, because of that and also because I've never seen their spam anywhere (if they're using link spam they must do so on sources that have good "authority" for programming-related topics and thus one of us would've likely seen it).

> This is how big tech does damage to humans.

This being whatever AI flagged his post. I would not be surprised. I'm seeing a trend where, Facebook, Discord and I guess now Twitter are trying to use AI to moderate. It is going to backfire hard. Lots of blatantly bad things stay on their platform, but innocent nonsense gets you banned. Either their content moderators are really bad at their job, or silently protesting, or there's an AI involved.

In my case someone posted a video featuring a giant spider on Facebook in a little girls hand, it was bigger than her face, my comment was a meme comment you see all over the internet "girl put that spider down we gotta set the house on fire" there's a recurring meme about burning homes to kill spiders due to arachnophobia. Innocent joke, not actually serious, I got a warning, I guess they thought I was actually advocating burning down a home, but I was not. I appealed and immediately not long after I was denied. There's an AI involved, and whoever does appeals is lazy or the AI itself, or has no concept of internet content memes.
Free or extremely cheap transportation is a fascinating development. I always found it odd that the rhetoric around transportation was that it should make money. We don't expect other parts of the government to turn a profit. Why transportation?

If Amtrak went that direction and made its transportation close to free, I wonder if we'd see more people try it out. Maybe it'd gain some popularity and we could finally see a shift away from cars. Public transportation is a difficult process because until the money is spent and the line is there, people are not sold. Whereas with cars, even if a highway is not built, people still have a car by default. Therefore the government needs to float money, either in infrastructure or in subsidized fares. At least subsidized fares is a little less binary than infrastructure.
Hi everyone, I’m the author of Famnom. I built it after trying various nutrition tracking apps but didn’t find anything that fit my needs.

What is it?

Famnom is an easy-to-use macro and micro-nutrient tracker, and meal planner. Choose from a database of foods or add your own, create recipes and log meals. Set custom nutrition goals or use FDA RDIs for macros - calories, fats, proteins, carbs and micro-nutrients - Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, etc. Use MealPlanner to generate daily meal plans based on nutrition goals, available items and taste preferences. Sample user journeys:

Signup/Login: https://github.com/umangsh/famnom/blob/master/journeys/signu...

Search/Setup Kitchen: https://github.com/umangsh/famnom/blob/master/journeys/searc...

Nutrition Goals: https://github.com/umangsh/famnom/blob/master/journeys/nutri...

Mealplanner: https://github.com/umangsh/famnom/blob/master/journeys/mealp...

Why?

My main goal was to eliminate nutritional supplements in my diet, and use fresh foods and recipes as much as possible. Famnom can help:

1. Track macro nutrients and micro nutrients, such as Vitamin D, Fiber, Magnesium, etc consumed per day. Connect with Apple Health for trends over longer periods of time.

2. Generate meal plans based on available foods and recipes in Kitchen, nutrition preferences and taste preferences.

3. Share kitchens with other family members.

Famnom has worked for me personally. I was able to eliminate almost all supplements from my diet. I hope it can help others with their health goals.

Wow you are really doubling down on being right about a statement that was factual wrong ...
It would probably be more interesting to study people who have high-copper diets or who handle pennies frequently. The amount of systemic copper from a bracelet would likely be a small factor compared to copper ingestion.

There are also people who have various illnesses that lead them to strictly avoid foods with a lot of copper, and we might want to see how those people fare later in life.

You missed my point. I was saying that 100 years max lifecycle for a house is wrong in my view.
There was a time when standards would be developed voluntarily by the major players for the parts that are tangential to their innovation. Apple's success with the iPhone isn't because they use a connector that is prone to shorting and susceptible to lint. Tesla's success in electric cars isn't because they didn't help develop a standard connector. However maybe they plan to pivot to overpriced electricity at their proprietary stations if they lose their competitive advantages, who knows?

When innovation was occurring in integrated circuits the companies standardized on the 0.1" DIP. Then as needs for smaller packages came they worked together on TSSOP and others. Obviously the innovation isn't a matter of packaging.

I lost my virginity last month after 2 years of avoidance. I had three injections of the vaccine and was scheduled for my fourth but hadn't had it yet. Fortunately, being in the higher risk group, my case was very mild with a minor headache, coughing, and some congestion. I self-isolated for about 8 days, feeling better each day. Finally took a 2nd test on that 8th day and got a clean reading. Two days later, another test and clean reading. I'm curious to know whether the vaccine mitigated the virus or it was a lower potency infection.
But it still could have a much better performance. Specially because in eurozone the cheapest model starts from 1499 euros, and in that price range adding few extra heat pads shouldn't be an issue.
