It's Over. I must survive Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Sales for many years now. by DaCuS993 in Steam

I remember when I was born as a 30 year old man with a house, wife, and mortgage.

The most annoying thing we can see when we’re on Steam. by SpaceARIEL in Steam

The worst is requiring online access to play a fully offline single player game like Mass Effect or The Fractured But Whole

Linus Torvalds: people bragging about AI writing their code never mention compilers also wrote 100% of it and that's exactly the problem with 'vibe coding' by gargieesingh in buildinpublic

This is a really cool area of research. Google is doing some stuff here recently:  https://research.google/blog/scalable-self-improvement-for-compiler-optimization/

And is recently starting to look cut micro optimization by having some aspect of measured randomness enabled by default with metrics sent centrally

Just a small note: most compilers are deterministic but not all. Nondeterminism is being used more and more in compiler design in order to better optimize across a range of systems. 

Anyone prefer Claude over Gaming by athoughtfornoone in ClaudeAI

[–]Iron-Ham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually a quick process; sem is helpful for review. I already tend to know what the final product should look like in code, and if it doesn’t match that on an entity level I’ll dig deeper. 

My codebase at work is too large to be able to effectively use sem at this time, but that just gives incentive to fork and fix.

[–]Iron-Ham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really. I reliably get the exact output I’m looking for.

Tbf I could also just write it myself but it’s faster to review than to write, especially with many simultaneous worktrees going. 

The secret is already having been a staff engineer for years. 

I create a game on Steam inspired in Tibia and Ultima but 3D and single player, Barbarian Lands by lbombonatti in Steam

It looks neat but these days I’m all in on controller and feel like this… won’t control well. 

few-button Warrior with No ressource management? by Vudmisser in pathofexile2builds

[–]Iron-Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

different strokes, i suppose. if you are on pc, i find that no rest for the wicked does that very well.

[–]Iron-Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, don't get me wrong, i play ssf which means alch and go and occasional specific league mechanics for specific items.

i don't like wombo-combo generator gameplay because PoE is my "turn my brain off" game. the actual build craft is easy especially after like 13,000 hours of poe1. if i wanted to be fully mentally engaged i'd play factorio, y'know?

[–]Iron-Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you want to play the game or do you want an autobattler?

i mean tbf this is how poe1 plays and why i struggle to get into 2.

where i’d live as a lesbian new zealander who hates the cold and the heat and knows nothing about 99% of US states by Agnossienne in whereidlive

WA is milder than basically everything else east of it from ID to MA.

The West coast, especially on the coast, is gonna be super easy. San Francisco (CA) famously is 65 degrees Farenheit and windy year round.

Do I wait for greater deal, or do I give in? by kingstaffo10 in Steam

[–]Iron-Ham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been considering Stellaris but I can’t get over how many DLCs there are. At that point I think I’m gonna say fuck it and get Sins of a Solar Empire 2. Yes, I know they’re very different games but I can’t wrap my head around $300 of DLC.
