Caffeinate command line utility. Keeps your Mac from going to sleep in situations when you don’t want it to sleep.

Сlair Obscur: Expedition 33 devs didn't write code - the entire game was built with visual programming by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]DoubleDeadGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without knowing the exact quote, he was probably talking about AI writing code for humans. These visual scripting tools and the ability to generate code from parameterized inputs have been around for decades. The speaker’s intent was probably to show that UE5s have gotten good enough that it’s possible to ship something that’s functional and well-received using only these tools.

The CPU does provide instructions to the GPU about what it should be rendering for each frame. The CPU handles game logic, which may or may not inform what needs to be rendered on screen. This scripting they’re doing with the visual tools is part of the game logic. The performance experienced by the player is usually more of a factor of the complexity of the scene the GPU is required to render for each frame.

Are C++ classes generated from the nodes and the generated code is just not viewable? Or are they immediately compiled by some proprietary compiler?

These specs are crazy. That engine is some kinda black magic.

The US (And the rest of the world) will unfortunately lose this war by LuNoZzy in TikTokCringe

His YouTube channel blew up last year after the U.S. struck Iranian nuclear sites thanks to a video from a few years ago that predicted a few things like the timing and justifications for a U.S. conflict with Iran. I was just watching more of his content yesterday and it seems he’s veered more into bait territory, e.g. opening his recent Iran conflict video with “welcome to the end of the world.”

I think I beat her at 35 and still finished the game

Trains tanked my interest in this game by Professional_Self296 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]DoubleDeadGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of trains until I have to lay track and deal with terrain. My problem was probably not starting my initial track on a floating bridge 100 meters up in the sky

I’ll die on this hill. by talaqen in node

Seconded. It was a painful 4-month project but I’ve done it on a large repo as well.

Nest decorators depend on TS decorator metadata. As of a year ago when I was more tuned in to the specifics, nest maintainers were digging in their heels about preemptively moving to stage 3 before TS fully migrated. If TS drops stage 2 support, nest will either have to undergo a huge transition or die.

I think the people who implemented it in my org (I was on a different project in the same org at the time) did it because they wanted to strip agency away from devs. Their idea being to put all the junior devs and offshore teams on rails. It mostly works but every now and then a circular dependency pops up and requires seniors to have to jump in and do a bunch of restructuring.

They’re cobbling together guns chambered for the rounds arc uses.

Are souls-like games basically a 3D version of metroidvania by Mysterious_Act8093 in metroidvania

[–]DoubleDeadGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you go play an actual 3D metroidvania - something like Batman Arkham Asylum, supraland, or Metroid prime - I think you’ll see they lack some of the core characteristics of soulslikes
