> What he said was to use a C program to parse C code and emit additional C code. There is no mention of DSL

Because it is always the same story:

- You start by writing a little meta-compiler to solve one specific codegen problem in a specific portion your code.

- Then you realize their is many slight variations of this problem in other areas of your project or other projects... because it is exactly what *Genericity* is all about. And we know that since literally the 1970s and freaking LISP.

- To avoid your meta-compiler to become a Frankenstein of options with endless hardcoded logic: you make it interpret some annotations in C comments, some preprocessors or some template files somewhere.

-> Congratulations: you invented your own half baked DSL.

I have seen that many time, in many places. Again and again. Often because there is a category of C programmers that would prefer to swim in their own shit instead of using few C++ templates.

Codegen is consistently a terrible solution to a well studied problem: meta-programming. The fear of the feature creep (templates, macros) shall never be a justification to create some half baked complexity monster that will alaways finish worst than the problem they try to avoid.

If you doubt about that: Just use a lexer or parser generator. Or better, the quintessence of codegen: Autotools. They are a perfect illustration of how terrible and how fucking unmaintainable Codegen is.

I can think of a single use case where a meta-compiler and a DSL are appropriate solutions: *Serialization* (Protobuf, Thrift, CapNProto, ...).
Because in this precise case, you actually do want a language neutral way to express your interface: you want an IDL.

Currently here, Zig does the right thing: Comptime execution for meta-programming is one order of magnitude better than anything available in C or C++ before C++20
It is enough to make gameplay the main challenge?

I agree, but for the record, if Google wanted to sue, they wouldn’t be completely out of luck. They could make claims under the Lanham Act §1125(a), state unfair competition laws, or other fraud-adjacent laws. But they would have to prove that Microsoft was deceiving customers, and it would be a lot harder without an actual case of trademark infringement.

They could also try to claim trademark infringement based on the fact that Microsoft is hijacking searches for the keyword “google”. Courts have previously rejected trademark claims when a company takes out search ads using its competitor’s name as a keyword, but Google could argue that what Microsoft is doing here is more deceptive than that.

(IANAL and have only passing familiarity, but I’m fairly confident in the above.)

Reminds me of CCD. Back in the day CCD only worked effectively at liquid nitrogen temperatures; a couple of decades of development and you could have one in a pocket camera.

Maybe that's what you meant.
It’s very human. This is no different from people using terms like gosh, shucks, and darn, instead of their stronger relatives. It’s just how profanity works, no need to worry about it.
> I'd bet a dollar per gram additive sugar tax in excess of 5g would immediately flatten the chronic disease curve. Maybe double that if it's marketed towards kids. There are a lot of problems besides sugar/HFCS but it's easily towards the top of the list.

It doesn't, it doesn't even discourage the purchases unless (perhaps?) universally adopted: Boulder, CO has had a sugar tax for a while now, and all it does is punish not curtail the consumer: often the poorer ones most as it accounts for a larger part of their income/wages. If they are so motivated they continue to buy said sugary drink at an inflated price with no benefit, or simply go 6 miles out of town and purchase in bulk if they are committed to said behaviour. I've seen it all too often,and have even managed to 'hack' the system by buying things that contain sugar but somehow flew under the radar (San Peligrino fruit flavored sodas).

It's all just window dressing and shows just how poorly educated the average consumer is in measuring the necessary caloric intake relative to their lifestyle(s), but perhaps more importantly how food has been weaponized, mainly in the US, which has a direct correlation to type 2 diabetes being so prevalent in the first place.

It's hard to blame either or entirely, but I'd saw its a 30:70 with the former and latter respectively.

The truth is I stopped drinking soda after peaking in my early 20s to late teens, I still have a relatively fast metabolism and an active lifestyle to supplement it, but the feeling you get from the sugar high of continued use has gone from energizing back then to feeling ill for hours now.

I occasionally drink soda with specific meals, often for nostalgia to this day, but its hardly a daily or even weekly thing for me anymore.

Ultimately, if your reasoning/logic were true we would see a dramatic drop in fast food consumption due to the higher prices but that simply isn't the case and corps in the fast food industry are reporting record profits YoY in this market despite the increase in price.

I see food the same way I see drugs at this point, both in excess or when misused can be incredibly dangerous, the best a Society can do is to safely regulate and educate it's populace in the pros/cons usage of both: nothing will stop a person from seeking or abusing either if they so desire. And its is a larger loss in agency for said Society to pretend it can as it often leads to draconian measures with no meaningful or effective outcome (eg sugar tax).

In fact having worked in all aspects of the food industry from farm to table for a significant portion of my life, restaurant culture and the art of cuisine/gastronomy wouldn't even be a thing if it weren't for the debauchery and the unruly excess of the clientele who were ready and willing to drop up to a day's wage on a meal(s) and accompanying alcohol were it not for the 'uninhibited decadence'a of the consumer.
How situation actually looks like will be revealed soon via independent tests. I'm betting its bit of both, no way they can't progress in 2 years raw performance at all, other segments still manage to achieve this. Even 10%, combined with say 25% boost with DLSS, nets nice FPS increase. I wish it could be more but we don't have a choice right now.

Does normal gamers actually notice any difference on some normal 4k low latency monitors/tvs? I mean any form of extra lag, screen tearing etc.

This is just an uncharitable / strawman interpretation of what they said. They are concerned with all the people left over once you remove the people that just had to muster up "willpower". And they are concerned for the people who weren't dealt the same hand of traits that us fit people have.
I'm not sure I understood your point.

There's a lot more to life than a lot of things, I'm not really trying to discuss personal fulfilment, moreso mentioning that there's no reality where we can get by with European technology right now, and if the US decided to sanction a european country that country would suffer a pretty significant (trillion-euro most likely) shock to productivity, as not only would they need to find new tools and retrain, but they would also lose all their mail and documents.
These companies were accused and of conspiring to limit egg supply, artificially inflate prices by reduce chicken numbers through strategies like reducing cage space. They forced their farmers to engage in strategies like culling productive hens early and encouraging "early molting" to reduce egg-laying.
I love library based game dev, like raylib or libgdx, but there is a reason that games like slay the spire moved to unity and then godot for their sequel.

That is to say, I don't think people are using Unity because they were mistaught by complexity loving professors.
Sir that's true evil! That's evil you know?
Because if two frames are fake and only one frame is based off of real movements, then you've actually lost a fair bit of latency and will have noticably laggier controls.

Making better looking individual frames and benchmarks for worse gameplay experiences is an old tradition for these GPU makers.
Why are you upset how a frame is generated? We're not talking about free range versus factory farming. Here, a frame is a frame and if your eye can't tell the difference then it's as good as any other.
Both those ways of approaching bike travel require a particular mindset. I've been at 6 hours of sleep in 72 hours, been soaked through my layers in torrential summer rain, woken up with my feet in 2" of water in my tent, and loved it all.

The only thing that truly sucks is when you can't continue. Like getting two irreparable flats 20 miles away from town in rural New Mexico, or getting an injury that ends your journey.

Hard to explain to people that don't experience it like that, but even if it doesn't feel good all the time, it's basically always still somehow fun.
I’ve been trying to learn godot for years and I’m not doing so hot. This chatter feels very relevant to my struggles but I’m not the best with software design, so what do I know? I was in a tizzy the other day and spammed my thoughts out about it, I hope it’s relevant here.

trying to wrap my head around using scenes vs. nodes in something simple like a 2d platformer.

Platforms:

My thinking: I'm gonna be using a ton of platforms, so it'd make sense to abstract the nodes that make up a platform to a scene, so I can easily instance in a bunch.

Maybe I'm already jumping the gun here? Maybe having a ton of an object (set of nodes) doesn't instantly mean it'd be better off as a scene?

Still, scenes seem instinctually like a good idea because it lets me easily instance in copies, but it becomes obvious fast that you lose flexibility.

So I make a scene, add a staticbody, sprite, and collision shape. I adjust the collision shape to match the image. Ideally at this point, I could just easily resize the parent static body object to make the platform whatever size I want. This would in theory properly resize the sprite and collision shape.

But I am aware it's not a good/supported idea to scale a collision shape indirectly, but to instead directly change its extents or size. So you have to do stuff based on the fact that this thing is not actually just a thing, but several things.

This seems like a bad idea, but maybe one way I could use scenes for platforms is to add them to my level scene and make each one have editable children.
Problem with this is I'd need to make every shape resource unique, and I have to do it every time I add a platform.
This same problem will occur if I try duplicating sets of nodes (not scenes) that represent platforms, too. Need to make each shape unique. That said, this is easier than using scenes + editable children.

Ultimately the ‘right’ way forward seems to be tilemaps, but I wanted to understand this from a principles perspective. The simple, intuitive thing (to me) does not seem possible.

When I ask questions about this kind of stuff, 9/10 times the suggestion is to do it in a paradigmatic way that one might only learn after spending a lot of time with an engine or asking the specific question, rather than what I would think is a way that makes dumb sense.
After shadow profiles, cambridge analytica, prism, etc, I don't think those companies are all that scared of privacy violation lawsuits.

Indeed. I worked with CobraNet for some years. I kind like their isochronous protocol. But being a layer 2 protocol I believe it's outdated at this point.

The thing is, you wouldn't use the slur except to invoke the mean-spiritedness that the people who find the slur offensive associate with the word. If you're using it because you think like-minded people will find it funny that you're using a term other people find offensive, that's still precisely the same mean-spiritedness.

I remember people arguing on HN over a decade ago about how awful it was that on Google News you wouldn't get direct links, but instead links to their tracking system that would forward you to the story.

Now, they'll even refuse to forward the links unless you do a captcha, and you can't escape from captcha hell unless you accept cookies and you don't forge (or refuse to send) your referer.

We were talking about how most of the internet got locked behind walled gardens, but we didn't notice how much of the "open" internet secretly became a walled garden. Starting with that Facebook like button, Google Analytics, and Google ads everywhere, and culminating in Cloudflare MITMing everything.

aside: One of my personal conspiracy theories is that when the government wants deep activity on a site to be tracked, they DDOS the site until there's no other option than to add Cloudflare.
I agree with what you're saying about SV, especially the military-industrial types. I'm not entirely sure what the makeup of HN demographics is, and would like to know. I have a suspicion that it's not just folks in SV. I also should have clarified more. In my opinion, the discourse here is more civil than on other platforms. I would suggest that has something to do with a combination of education and niche interests that attract a different user base. So maybe not in terms of factual correctness, but certainly in terms of the ability to have a civil conversation.

I think people misinterpreted the point. Saying 'there are no poor people driving and parking in NYC' in an asinine statement when the data clear show that 30% of the drivers into congestion zone are lower income. Whether or not they should, are shouldering more or less of burden, and all of this other nonsense is extraneous.

> Need to add a class for styling?

How often? All the time? Or relatively rarely? For most projects, it's the latter. We are not constantly churning the styling.

> Need to add a new hx-attribute? The snapshot breaks. It's not tied to the logic

An `hx-` attribute is logic. That's the point of htmx.

> You've reduced the surface area of the problem, but not eliminated it.

That's a risk of any kind of unit test. You can always have false positives.

That tests should be fixed until they're robust? I'm not a fan of the learned helplessness of the 'We couldn't figure out how to do XYZ, therefore XYZ is a bad idea' approach.

> Tell me why they shouldn’t count the hopeless as unemployed?

Because “Words Mean Things”. Every single country’s government that I could find - including non English speaking countries (I just looked up the definition in Japan) define unemployment the same way.

The unemployment, the homeless and the labor participation rate are all statistics that are reported by the government and one isn’t ignoring the other.

And you don’t think it is “unreasonable” to make up definitions instead of using ones that are accepted globally?
