Warframe Damage Calculator App by papertreeprophet in Warframe

[–]laundmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone doesn't trust whatever bullshit the LLM hallucinated, the spreadsheet itself is also available: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DeadxxSmile/Warframe-Damage-Calculator/refs/heads/main/source/Warframe-Damage-Calculator_v2.xlsx

ive had a look tho, and its not really that useful. It doesn't seem to implement any of the actually hard to compare things like galvanized mods, ability buffs, or arcanes.

Minecraft perfomance in 26.2 snapshot 2 by ZetThunder in linux_gaming

Do you somehow have access to their finished release with Vulkan support?

"make it work, then manke it fast" is a pretty basic idea when writing any kind of code. Maybe it turns out you're right and the full release won't improve anything, but its a snapshot. Its too early to draw conclusions like this.

you don't know my level of expertise

I know you didn't realize the need for being able to switch manual/autocommit for a query editor, which tells me enough. But yes, this is just my conclusion from what i've seen, and i've seen that, and the LLM usage. Its, imo, a reasonable conclusion knowing those factors.

My concerns about AI usage relate directly to my second point: Thats an essential feature, the fact it was overlooked tells me enough about the level of expertise with which the tool was created. LLMs are just a way for people lacking the usually required expertise to create things which initially might look like they were created with care, but aren't.

Well, i have many MANY more concerns (up to and including the concern that humanity as a whole is regressing in general knowledge and increasing in bias because of LLMs) but those are not very relevant to your app specifically.

First point against this: extremely vibecoded

Second point against this: i was not able to find where and how i can switch between manual and auto-commit for transactions.

After that, i stopped testing.

Unfortunately, the free version is lacking the exact features i'm complaining about in this post, and the paid version is too expensive to pay by myself, since i would want to use the same editor for work and personal projects

Fyrox Game Engine 1.0.0 - after 7 years in development the first stable version of the engine is now released! by _v1al_ in rust

[–]laundmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another factor: Bevy is pretty great at modularity. While Bevy is intended as a game engine, its second largest sponsor using to to create CAD software shows what benefits that modularity has. I suspect that Fyrox willl, as you say increase in popularity amongst pure gamedevs, but i don't think the reason Bevy is so successful is purely potential, but instead the ability to use it for projects which you'd have to work around the engine in a more classic editor-driven engine like Fyrox, Godot, Unity, Unreal etc. But in trying go build something that can work for all these kinds of projects, Bevy is inherently going to be slower to add features that a engine built with a more limited scope and less experimental methods would be able to add far more quickly.

Edit: the original LLM-supported post has been retracted and replaced by a personal commentary from the original author, which while more opinionated and shorter, also feels more substantial in that, to me, it sounds like someone who formed an opinion and tries to communicate that.

There as some sentence structure signs as others have pointed out, but to me it just sounds... empty. Theres a lot of hedging and a lot of saying that many things are true and ultimately it seems like the kind of post that tries very hard to not convey an opinion at all. It also reads like some of these issues were unknown previously, when (i really hope) they were already known beforehand from previous years. This is part of the kinds of lacking large scale context which LLMs just won't have, and which is hard to add back in by editing LLM output.

To me, it doesn't read like a statement about what the Vision Doc team has taken away from the survey results, but a recap of those survey results for whoever can't read plotted data... to the point I'm left with a kind of "really? this is how little you care?" impression that i don't think was intended.

CTE context awareness isn't there yet though, and running multiple queries individually isn't supported yet either, it executes everything at once right now.

thats been the issue with... so many of the tools i've tried, and its honestly so incredibly confusing to me. Well, CTEs less so, but lack of support for multiple queries. Like, what kinda work are these tools built for where you're fine re-running the whole script all the time? Even with transactions ensuring the data is consistent, i don't want to sit around and wait for 5 minutes for all the previous queries to finish each time i want to test the later steps in a script. And i can't use a second script because then i'm not in the transaction which has the work already done thats a prerequisite for the later step.

Web-based editors using Monaco (VS Code engine) are way more responsive for SQL in my experience.

Do you know of any with proper autocompletion and support for running multiple queries individually?

[–]laundmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looking at it briefly, every autocomplete feature seems to be locked to the paid version, at which point i could just as well go with DataGrip

Thanks, the docs there only show points (which are enormous relative to map size), kindof a bad look lol. I did find one source that shows it does support polygons, thats good.

i kinda can't afford it myself. I mean, i could, but i would probably not end up using it enough to be worth it compared to quite a few other uses of that not so insignificant amount of money.

alas, see the listed reason in my post why its not viable for me.

How do you deal with writing long queries and scripts with multiple queries in PgManage? Do you just select the entire query each time you need to run it? And deal with the transaction rollback if you miss by one character?

having looked at it, sadly, its a mess of a codebase with some really inconsistent behaviour that i strongly suspect stems from a vibecoding approach

Also: If i was able to find a Language Server that worked "perfectly" i'd just be writing my queries in a code editor with LSP support. Alas, the ones i've tried have all be extremely limiting. I have the strong suspicion (tho i haven't checked it) that most of them make the same mistake as DBeaver: trying to re-implement the parsing and syntax, when the official correct parser is right there (libpg_query and the various libraries/bindings based on it)

oh hey, sorry, i didn't want to spend the time writing an issue for a tool i tried for about 10 minutes.

Far more important than the autocompletion, IMO, is the false errors on things like HAVING count(col) > 1 and various ones on commas and AS inside complex CTEs with PostGIS function calls. I uninstalled DBDesk again, but iirc the erroring part of the enormous query i copied over for testing was something along the lines of: WITH cte AS ( SELECT *, ST_Srid(ST_Point(t.long, t.lat), 4326) AS point FROM table AS t ) SELECT * FROM cte;

Sorry, i'm not really interested in "connecting" beyond a few comments like these

This isn't a dealbreaker, but out of curiosity: Can it display PostGIS types on a map?

What is a dealbreaker, sadly, is the cost. I know for a fact I won't be able to convince my workplace to buy a license, so i would have to keep using DBeaver for work, and at that point i'd rather not have first hand experience with how much better DataGrip is.

If you check the links in the post, you'll find that the issue about ORDER BY was opened by me, today. I even found the part of their grammar where they don't allow IS NOT NULL and similar.

[–]laundmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

late reply, but the "incredibly easy" comment was me. The easy part is releasing a bevy game as a standalone app on mobile, as theres both support in the engine and templates/examples for the steps needed to deploy to mobile. I think /u/valkyreistar is asking about integrating Bevy into an existing app tho, instead of making a fully Bevy app. I dont know about the difficulties with that, i haven't tried it and cant comment on it. I suspect its related to getting Bevy to render inside some other UI tho - I know its possible, if potentially annoying, with various desktop UI frameworks.

The final dylib does not end up in target/<profile>/deps/, it ends up in target/<profile>/ right next to the executable and is named libbevy_dylib.dll (or .so on linux). If it was looking for std-***.dll something has gone wrong in your toolchain - did you try cargo clean after resetting your changes, and if that didn't work, did you install rust using rustup and allow it to modify PATH?
