F# compiler is cross os and allows cross compilation (dotnet build --runtime xxx), its packaged in most Linux distros as dotnet.

> Yeh, I've been tinkering around a year with a Bevy-competitor, Amethyst until that project shut down. By now, I just don't think Rust is good for client-side or desktop game development.

I don't think your experience with Amethyst merits your conclusion of the state of gamedev in rust, especially given Amethysts own take on Bevy [1, 2].

> If your C is faster than your C++ then something has gone horribly wrong. C++ has been faster than C for a long time. C++ is about as fast as it gets for a systems language.

That's interesting, did ChatGPT tell you this?

Wake me up when we go back to discussing progress, instead of being wooed by fake toddlers doing tricks badly.

Wasm executes as its own VM, so you'll need some js glue to display something in the browser.

This means you can go both ways, either embed something like imgui in your wasm, or build a ui using html.

Same with DNA testing really.

A relative did a genealogy test through ancestry.com and suddenly I'm doxed for all eternity.

Indeed, that's how most of my project commit logs look like in the startup phase. Eventually i make a commit with a "MVP" message and then I try to go from there with meaningful messages.

Cool project, but it is missing central features of Discord such as voice and screen sharing.

Indeed, one could argue that everything is a remix of pre-existing expressions.

This, of course does not rhyme well with current copyright laws.

> Can anybody explain to me again why systemd is so bad ?

Mostly I seen misguided criticism from less technical people that don't understand systemd but seem to like the idea of fitting in and have identified that a certain few verbal linux users they consider to be cool hate it with passion.

It's really dumb and boring and they often resort to just make stuff up. This thread has a bunch of such comments.

Systemd solves countless real problems and helped linux grow in many ways.

> If you want to add two days you can't just call Add(0 /years/, 0 /months/, 2 /days/), you need to use AddDate.

Sorry for nit-picking, but 2 days is a duration of time, and you can add one using Add, like this:

    t.Add(time.Hour * 24 * 2)

I agree about FFI being a weak point in go when you need to interact with other languages, but it can hopefully be mitigated by using tinygo, which is still being developed.

Sure, same setup for PulseAudio or for PipeWire, iirc.

Btw, consider moving to PipeWire instead as it's the preferred a/v daemon these days.

Back in the stone age when I used macOS there was an app called Beamer for this [1]. Then it got competition from AirParrot [2].

And now this, apparantly.

Maybe it should be a feature included in macOS itself?

IMO remote mounts is a feature of the OS.

For Linux and macOS, you can mount ssh directly.

Unfortunatley, Windows makes it a little more complicated.

But there's hope. You can use yasfw with dokany (dokan fork).

Or mount from inside WSL.

I've been running vscodium for a couple of years now, and they rip out the MS specific stuff so no ChatGPT and so forth. I haven't noticed any slowdowns.

Maybe give it a try? https://vscodium.com/

Same! I love that it is so snappy and fast, and don't choke on larger files. I use it for all of my non-programming note taking. I also hope it don't turn into a IDE.
