If you use VS Code on #NixOS, you may want to look at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arrterian.nix-env-selector - it lets you run stuff like rust-analyzer and other plugin-internal processes in the context of a project's shell.nix, which is really useful when compilations require external system dependencies

the aliexpress algorithm has decided i’m the kind of person who’d buy a 1 ton mini excavator
they apparently are less than €2000

@roelgrif En dat is natuurlijk totaal niet credible, maar dat verwacht de achterban dan ook niet...

@roelgrif Ik zou daar nog niet zo zeker van zijn. Het lijkt erop dat dit bewust uitgelokt is om als pretext te dienen om alle steun aan Oekraine in te trekken.

Hottest Firefox Take Yet
What if internet services were public utilities and what if that included my damn browser? Maybe I could just pay $10/mo for something way more stable and also way less caked with crap.
But I kid Capitalism and the tech bros, of course.

the real meaning of "cloud native" is "we're too preoccupied with 'scalable' design to notice that our cluster can serve requests at about the same pace as a 486 box running debian 2.0 in 1998 could, just more complicated and more difficult to iterate on"

USpol, Texas pol, anti-trans bill, caps.
Once again, for those in the back. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE KIDS!!
Bill TX HB3399 is, essentially a find and replace, swapping out all instances of "child" or "minor" with "person" in the section of the health and safety code added by S.B. 14, the law passed in 2023 banning gender affirming care for minors.
This was *always* the plan. Anti-queer actions are *never* actually about protecting children.
Official bill here:

Text also visible, and the bill's progression is trackable here:

Ever get annoyed by YouTube sticking things it thinks you’ll like in your search results, when you just want to find something specific? Turns out it doesn’t do that with the “before:” filter on. Just pick a date in the future and add it to your search: “my query before:2026”

So uh, everybody realizes that it is extremely not normal for a government official of one country (the US) to call for the resignation of someone representing the other country (Ukraine), right?
Like, this is a direct violation of the concept of sovereignty.

You've played Fedi for 1460 hours
Would you recommend this game to other players?
@eniko Well... sort of? From what I remember, the whole archetypes thing serves to group together data for specific (sets of) components, because you're usually going to iterate over "all entities that have this specific set of components" - and for optimal cache locality you want the data stored to *only* be the data you are interested in because of the limited cache size.
So if you were to store all of an entity's data in an array, instead of just its data for specific components, less entities worth of data would fit into the cache (because the data includes irrelevant stuff) and that would incur a performance penalty.
(Going off my potentially lossy memory here)
@eniko Isn't that just to serve the cache locality purpose?
Also you may find https://github.com/SanderMertens/ecs-faq helpful, iirc it goes into this too

@joepie91 They must have fired the guy who counted devices a few decades ago, because 3 billion seems very low today
