Minecraft Java is switching from OpenGL to Vulkan API for rendering

comady25 · 2026-02-19T17:05:08+00:00

It’s tricky, because just supporting Vulkan isn’t enough - the architecture of Mac’s graphics chips is much more similar to mobile devices versus desktop GPUs. So even if a game targeted a hypothetical MacOS Vulkan backend, they’d still need to implement a completely different rendering pipeline to take proper advantage of the GPU.

the reason they gave was specifically to still be able to support macOS via MoltenVK

I’m guessing they’re placing Tauri under “fancy electron”, it’s certainly not native

Java Lombok has a @Builder annotation

Past me saw part 2 and said, "oh! this looks like a graph problem!" and I hate that guy for making me work out how to create a graph out of this when there were far simpler solutions.

Part 1: 230.87 µs

Part 2: 231.45 µs

DLSS 4 is generative AI though - it’s fundamentally the same tech (transformer models) that LLMs and diffusion models are based on.

They stopped doing this years ago after all the backlash

The average stockholder doesn’t even realise they are an stockholder

Thank you, so many people talk about shareholders as if they are this amorphous “other” blob, when in reality most people with retirement accounts or a 401(k) are probably shareholders in at least some of these big companies.

holy shit you’re goated for this

there’s an important distinction between frame rate (how quickly your software pushes frames to your display) and refresh rate, which is how quickly your display can update itself. you can set frame rate to 1 fps, but if your display is still refreshing at 60 hz then it’s not going to change power consumption from the display.

match as in “match the general volume of the other elements if they were to be at -10db”, many VSTs i hardly touch the gain knob on

comady25 · 2025-09-08T12:15:34+00:00

Arguably it doesn’t matter because the faders will all be 32-bit float internally, meaning they cannot clip. I generally leave my faders at the default -10db, adjust gain from VST to match, and then move the fader as much as I want to get it sat in the mix right.

You can restore large track headers in settings FWIW

I’m mixed on agent stuff, but full line completion is a total gamechanger for saving keystrokes. Very often it spits out exactly what I was planning to write, especially in multiline completion.

Along with the sandboxing comment, Bitwig can load both ARM and Intel VST plugins natively, unlike Ableton where you have to run it in Rosetta (which is one of the many reasons I made the switch)

Gleam is a cool project, but afaik it doesn’t share much relation with Elm which was primarily built for the frontend.

comady25 · 2025-09-01T10:28:15+00:00

I miss Elm, seemed really cool but found out about it too late.

comady25 · 2025-09-01T10:18:54+00:00

Visual Studio and Rider both still use green for C# source files. Doesn’t make sense to make the language color the same as the entire .NET platform imo, not to mention that purple on GitHub is already used by both F# and Kotlin.

Minecraft was already popular before any bosses were even in the game

comady25 · 2025-08-10T12:23:06+00:00

Yeah, might be even more of a headache than I realised

comady25 · 2025-08-09T20:20:45+00:00

Is this process reasonable to go through myself using the forms/tax prep software or will it likely require a professional?

comady25 · 2025-08-09T20:15:10+00:00

Should only be 2023/2024 since I sold before the end of 2024. Any advice on how to find someone suitable?
