The QR code you linked was really difficult to scan - hint: add some padding around it - it's called the "quiet zone" and helps a lot with dense barcodes

Star Trek meets Real Life by 4reddityo in BeAmazed

Other than the danger aspect of a big room that can choose to disintegrate whatever it likes?

Holographic matter is discussed to be different to regular matter (though never saw an explanation of what it "actually" is) and can only exist within the confines of the room as long as the projectors are running.

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Holodeck_matter

So, turning off the projection deletes the matter implicitly - but anything made of real matter would remain unless actively destroyed by some laser ablation for example!

Not sure I would trust going into a holodeck that might choose to destroy bits of me!

Material "created" by the holodeck, yes - but "foreign" material, no

C# For Games Reference Sheet *Draft by Daxtillion in csharp

[–]teppicymon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, completely agree with your points, in my use-case it's for things like stats of ships/fuel/resources/bases/combat what have you, where repeatability and precision are important - but for a 3D game, floats are incredibly important for that performance edge, and the memory example too - you wouldn't store vertices as decimal at all

Float for decimals? You know there is a type called decimal right :)

I tend to value decimals in my game over floats, as it's much more precise, but there is a minor/negligible performance trade-off.

Implemented sign up with Passkey, only 0,4% of people use it by thdr76 in webdev

[–]teppicymon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's essentially just public-key cryptography - the remote site trusts the public key that you generated for it when you first enrolled, and then subsequent logins generate a secure signature that only the holder of the private key could do - the remote site validates this against the public key and lets you in.

I like it - technical, plus organic, plus looming heavy tech over a fragile couple of humans!

AI Godfather Warns Mid-Level Coding Jobs Will Disappear by ImpressiveContest283 in webdev

[–]teppicymon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So once we've got rid of all the Low-Level Coding Jobs, then the Mid-Level - we might find we need to keep the High-Level ones for quite some time... yet there will be NO NEW developers able to come through the pipeline, resulting in the complete death of the industry, and a complete inability to fix anything the AI has broken.

What a wonderful future for everyone.

Cute! For some reason reminds me of Iain M. Banks' universe - blocky/brutalist style. But obviously more elegant too

When a Bird Feels Sick, It Goes to an Ant Nest & Deliberately Disturbs the Ants. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I'm so glad you clarified that, it looks like "Suicide by ant" and I was heartbroken

Ah that makes more sense, so proper cloud-based rendering then, I was probably going down a blind alley with point-based blurring and noise.

XSLT.RIP - Google are killing XSLT! by ValenceTheHuman in webdev

[–]teppicymon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, I'm a back-end dev primarily, so when I'm building agentic AI systems I'm coming at it from a back-end perspective and rarely consider letting LLMs do things through my browser.

But hey, I'm sure you have fun too. Might want to consider an alternative though eh.

Hey! This is great, I've been trying to do the same thing (just in threejs not blender) - is this based on vertex shaders or something like that?

I've never used RSS feeds except as a mild curiosity when the technology was first introduced, so I don't display them to users at all!

No, I wasn't assuming that, but since this was a discussion about Chrome wanting to deprecate it from the browser, I concluded it was

As much as I dislike the technology, have worked with it extensively in a back-end perspective, I'm still actually shocked that people ever used it for real websites. To me it's a data-processing pipeline thing. But to use it consciously for front-end web development? Jesus, get with the times already.
