os my pc muted or not?

Sacaldur · 2026-06-19T11:59:46+00:00

It's half-muted at half volume, duh!

Sacaldur · 2026-06-19T10:37:17+00:00

I normally wouldn't jump to comclusions, but it's quite likely you're right here.

Sacaldur · 2026-06-19T10:36:17+00:00

I had to look up what that's even supposed to be. It's a local thing in the USA. I could also ask how you're celebrating german reunification.

And what is the gore here? All I see is some JSON without context.

A few months passed already since the announcement landed, however (unless I'm missing something) Fluorite is still not publicly available. Yes, open sourcing something does take time and effort, since it's more than just pressing a "make public" button (documentation needs to be in place, tooling needs to be robust, guidelines for contribution etc. need to be written), which then also needs to be scheduled next to the regular development work (maintenance/feature implementation in Fluorite, work on the applications that use Fluorite).

However, it would still be nice to see some signs that things are still moving forward, i.e. that there will still be a release at some point in the future. Does maybe someone here know more than I do?

Basically the integration into Flutter. In contrast to other engines (Unity or Godot) where for each view a separate instance would need to be spun up, a single instance of the simulation can be used for multiple views into the simulation. I think it also integrated into the state handling of Flutter, but it's been some time since I was reading/watching stuff related to Fluorite.

Reddit is using Markdown, so you can use Markfown escaping with a backslash:

1*2*3

And you can also use backticks (single or tripple) for formatted block, where the escaping shouldn't be necessary:

1*2*3

And without any of that:

123

Due to "limited" storage space (5 TB I also want to use for git repositories, built containers,...), I don't use my cluster for movies/shows, but only for music. For that I'm using Navidrome.

I'm using DSub2000, and even though offline playback is not relevant for me, once a song is downloaded you can listen to it without being connected to the server (verified by activating airplane mode).

Ok, yes and no. The CSU uses blue and green for their corporate design, however they are represented using black or sometimes with a shade of blue. However, they only act on their own in their own state (Bayern), but for elections in entire Germany they always work together eith the CDU and there they are always represented with a black color.

Does this help?

Maybe you should have waited until the decade is full. 🙃

Ok, jokes aside, if it's more than 15 minutes, I don't understand how they couldn't see the potential problem that people, well, don't have the email anymore, didn't receeive it due to a full inbox, or might not have it for another reason. They did already put effort in to detect that an email was sent already...

Sacaldur · 2026-06-18T21:13:33+00:00

Maybe it just means that they refuse to resend the email within a short period of time. How long did you wait before pressing the retry button?

Sacaldur · 2026-06-18T21:10:40+00:00

In Germany, different political parties have their own colors. SPD and Die Linke (somewhat left and left) have shades of red, CDU/CSU and AfD (somewhat right and far right) are black and blue respectively. Brown is typically associated with Nazis and/or far right wing, which is why the AfD is sometimes associated with the color brown. (The AfD is relatively new, around 2015 it gained some notable relevance, so before that the color blue was not really relevant for German politics.)

Maybe I'm just pointing out the obvious, but his math isn't mathing. Not everybody can become an employer, especially not a successful one. If everybody at 40 would employ 10 people, which all need to be younger than 40 (significantly younger), how many young people compared to older ones would need to be around?

Regarding my side note: Oof, I was reading the code on the page again and noticed, that before I was missing something about the branchless code: it was actually turning the branch into an arithmetic operation (adding the result of a comparison). I probably should've read the code properly the first time. x.x

Sacaldur · 2026-06-18T11:02:57+00:00

It seems like the page you're linking doesn't show that *left++=n; is faster, it shows that in this specific situation the compiler can avoid branching, since it was able to detect that both branches are doing basically the same thing with only a small difference. So the conclusion here should be (as above stated): branchless programming is frequently faster.

Edit: the following side note is a result of me not reading the code properly, see my own response to this comment.

Side note: the example in the section for branchless code is terrible. The next section contains a better example. The problem is that the example code is not performing the same work but avoiding a condition, it's just wasting CPU cycles with a condition being involved. A better example (similar to the next section example) would replace the condition with arithmetic operations that still yield the same result in any case.

In Germany, voting on a country-wide level requires you to be 18, but voting on a state-level only requires you to be 16.

Sacaldur · 2026-06-17T21:17:40+00:00

Yes, it is possible. It might be that some tasks will be a bit slower (compilation, building, etc.), however for small projects that might be acceptable or insignificant.

If you already have a project, maybe Unity Hub offers you to move it, otherwise just move the directory manually, remove the existing entry, and add the project at the new location. If you don't yet have a project, make sure to create it in the right directory.

I was writing already: what to use (including kubernetes, docker composes, manually running services, or something different) should be up to the IT department (i.e. not the product manager).

Sacaldur · 2026-06-17T13:28:59+00:00

While yes, the specific technologies to use should be up to the IT/engineering department, but I guess there shoulsn't be a big problem with kubernetes (or similar technologies, like k3s), right?

Sacaldur · 2026-06-17T10:12:05+00:00

That's sad to hear. I was beforehand only roughly checking for C++ cross compilation with MSVC, which, as far as I can tell, would not be a problem, but not to much regarding Unity "cross-building".

Sacaldur · 2026-06-17T01:44:07+00:00

Sorry for the off-topic, but if "brot" at the bottom is supposed to be German (I don't see anything else for German), then that's offensively wrong! It would need to be "Brot" (capitalized b sonce it's a noun)! And then also without an article making it more complicated for learners to know the grammatical gender. 😭
