linux users like to have fun too Also, there are plenty of Windows-only games that aren't subject to those practices. Free games, itch.io games, GOG games, etc. There's a big world out there…

I haven't quite finished reading this yet, but it's really quite interesting! Seeing how entity "components", interactions and relations come for free as a result of logic programm…

The centered monospace text is quite hard to read on mobile, but reader mode seems to work well. Back to reading it now...

Her point is that she wants a batteries-included framework that comes with integrated choices for these out of the box, similar to Rails or Phoenix or Laravel, so that you can hit the ground running w…

You'll never believe what the end of the post says.

> If the intent was to interoyerate with c++ then not supporting the api is hostile. I have a lot of code using vector, if I have to convert that to arrays then you are hostile and worse that is ne…

"Hostile" is assigning intent that was not present. C++ ABI integration was and is extremely difficult; you need to be able to fully handle C++ semantics and to target each platform's t…

Have you seen Resonite? That's probably the closest to that today.

There's been a lot of work in optimising inference speed of SD - SD Turbo, latent consistency models, Hyper-SD, etc. It is very possible to hit these frame rates now.
