Dark Matter Black Holes Could Fly through the Solar System Once a Decade
  • You need to know where to look for said evidence, this is one new lead. Measure planet wobble for a few years and see if there's anything. Other experiments can and will be carried in parallel in the meantime.

  • Message from the Godot Foundation Board
  • Godot definitely has sponsors which while not directly being "customers" are still very important when it comes to financing the development of the engine

    Having said that I want to believe current sponsors won't have issues with the Godot Foundation here

  • The Benefits of World Hunger
  • I understand it as a provocative piece, it genuinely made me realize that maybe one reason why the problem of hunger was not solved is because it is indeed being exploited.

  • Oracle, it’s time to free JavaScript
  • [...] it was decided that the language would be called “ECMAScript” instead. (Microsoft happily offered up “JScript”, but no-one else wanted that.) Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript and a co-signatory of this letter, wrote in 2006 that “ECMAScript was always an unwanted trade name that sounds like a skin disease.”

    I tend to agree with these sentiments

  • Chipotle pilots new line of robots in California after $20 per hour wage.
  • You say that as if machines don't get dirty and still require a good amount of hygiene/cleaning to keep up

    Don't get me wrong though because I am also in favor of automation only because I believe it will make some parts of work more bearable, minus the job displacement problem caused by our current economic model...

  • Contribute, they said. It would be fun, they said.
  • Just fork it 🤓

    It definitely feels like a knee jerk reaction, but there would be some merit to it: The Rust language feels apt to implement a kernel with. If I remember correctly that's what Redox is trying to accomplish? https://redox-os.org/

  • PlayStation®VR2 App on Steam
  • Why would using it on PC degrade image quality, if anything a desktop with a good GPU would potentially beat a PS5 in terms of graphics?

    An adapter will be required to plug the PSVR2 though, that information is already available. But once plugged it should work with SteamVR.

  • I'm fine with bank heists but please don't loiter :(

    edit: English not my first language yada yada, I confused "loitering" for "littering"... I'm fine with loitering after all

  • Anon doesn't like any web browsers
  • One workaround has been to spoof your Firefox user agent so Teams believes it's Chrome, and would you believe it the feature worked. I don't know if this trick is still relevant.

  • Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years
  • Antagonizing the borrow checker is wrong. If it screams it does so to prevent you from writing a mistake. Eventually once you have enough experience you should write code in such a way that doesn't trip the borrow checker because you know how to properly handle your references.

    Is it difficult to learn at first? Yes, but the benefits of learning this outweighs the downsides such as writing code that may use references when it shouldn't.

    I'm not a Rust aficionado, but the few Rust I've written opened my eyes on issues that I have been dealing with in other languages but for which I was blind.

    Lastly I tried following a Godot project tutorial that was using GDScript except I challenged myself to follow it but rewrite the examples given using Rust's bindings for Godot. It was definitely more cumbersome to work with, but I might also have been doing something wrong (such as blindly transcribing GDscript instead of writing more idiomatic Rust).

    All of that to say 1) borrow checker is your friend and 2) scripting languages will always be more convenient at the cost of being way more dirty (way less safeties)

    In the end you need to pick the right tool for the job. Multiple tools may be used within the same project.
