I’m not good at musical notation, but I’m guessing it’s (E A B B) (C#m E A A) (E A B B) (C#m A E)

No. I think the general consensus is that C# is faster.

From the devs: “According to some preliminary benchmarks, the performance of C# in Godot — while generally in the same order of magnitude — is roughly ~4× that of GDScript in some naive cases. C++ is still a little faster; the specifics are going to vary according to your use case. GDScript is likely fast enough for most general scripting workloads. C# is faster, but requires some expensive marshalling when talking to Godot.”

The cases where GDScript are faster consist of those where there’s a great deal of marshalling and unmarshalling, like with heavy engine calls and signaling. If you’re doing compute heavy work.

GDScript is still plenty fast, so use the one that’s most comfortable.

No car and about as much time. I get Friday night at 7:30 PM to Saturday morning at 11:59 AM to myself. Outside of that I’ve got obligations.

That sounds incredible. I don’t think I could spring it.

I get Friday night from 7:30 PM to Saturday at 11:59AM to myself. No phone calls, texts, messages, or emails. Home to myself. No contact. It’s my absolute favorite time of the week. 9:00AM on a Saturday, nobody around: it’s like inhaling deeply after holding your breath for a week.

I used to hate this. I still hate it, but I used to hate it, too.

More seriously, something that has helped from my managers is getting a “product requirements doc” or PRD. Management and customer reps put together a requirements document that says what they need built. Then you can break it down into work units for yourself and estimate the size with milestones and deliverables. It helps a bunch, even if it’s extra overhead at the start.

Honestly, it could be a data point added because the researcher was getting really pissed off at the plotting software truncating the axis strangely. Normally you’d remove that after the fact, but…

Or it’s a data oddity, like someone who specified units incorrectly (mg/mL) instead of (ug/L).

Also left out of the headlines: she exhaustively tested thousands of traditional herbal remedies, not just one. She kept the one that worked.

I can dump out 10k words of smut in a week of evenings. If you don’t care about quality and can type 60wpm, a 30k word book will only take 500 minutes. ~9 hours.

Or it’s a slop cannon, like you said.

I could see it either way.

This is a myth. Squashing a cockroach won’t release the eggs. They’ll die with the rest of it. The rumor likely emerges from the fact that seeing one means they’ve reached a dense enough population that you’re going to see lots. However, there are plenty of reasons not to, mostly around the fact that it’s largely ineffectual. Better to clean, remove sources of water, block points of ingress, and call an exterminator.

EDIT: typo. Ineffectual

Unlike javascript, where at least it is an interpreted language people can audit, you would have to reverse engineer these binaries to figure out what they do.

If you cargo install something you get source code (unless the library packages a binary, but that’s the same as if it were JS or Python or C). Rust dependencies don’t become binary until the final product.

Auditing Rust binaries isn’t much worse than auditing minified and uglified JS. I’ve done both.

EDIT:

Rust

Rust is doing pretty poorly right now.

among the 999 most popular crates on crates.io, around 17% contained code that do not match their code repository.

I just went through the article and I don’t think I agree with the assessment that “Rust is doing pretty poorly right now.” It feels disingenuous, given the content of the article you linked:

826 crates match their upstream repositories at the revision they were built at. 74 crates have revisions that cannot be found in their repositories, whether due to later squash merges, rebases or revisions simply not being pushed. 73 crates do not have VCS info, either because they were built with old Cargo versions, built with --allow-dirty, or not built from a repo clone at all. 77 crates do not declare a repository in their Cargo manifest. 7 crates would match their upstream repository but for one or more symlinks being incorrectly handled. 3 crates declare repositories that do not exist. 3 crates have submodules that do not exist. 3 crates cannot be found within their repositories. 3 crates cannot be built due to cargo package errors. … Only 8 crate versions straight up don’t match their upstream repositories. None of these were malicious: seven were updates from vendored upstreams (such as wrapped C libraries) that weren’t represented in their repository at the point the crate version was published, and the last was the inadvertent inclusion of .github files that hadn’t yet been pushed to the GitHub repository.

You don’t have to. 4.6 will continue to be supported for a while. You can jump up if you want. Even 4.5 is still getting bug fixes.

“CRANK THE THROTTLE!” “STOP CALLING IT THAT!”

A puckering of assholes.

Multiclass warrior bard. Hmm. 🤔

I’ve been looking for an excuse to try this tool. https://github.com/ToumaKamijou/Yugens-Terrain-Authoring-Toolkit It’s FOSS and looks really usable. It has the paint requirements you mentioned but I’m not sure about exporting splatmaps.

It’s even shit by U.S. chocolate standards, just to give you a sense of how bad it is.

The part that really depresses me is that folks will point at this and say, “See!? Renewable energy isn’t economic!” Completely ignoring that it’s cash flow positive and has only failed because they cancelled projects before they could make their money back. If a solar farm costs $100 to build but makes $1/day and your cancel it on day 50, of course it’s going to lose money.

I mean ‘g’. 1g is 9.81m/s^2. c is a speed, not an acceleration. g is acceleration.

Not coincidentally, it’s the acceleration you experience from Earth’s gravity, but it doesn’t have to come from gravity. Astronauts routinely experience 3gs during takeoff from their rocket boosters.

If you were in a rocket that accelerated at a constant 1g it would feel like Earth’s gravity, even in space. We don’t have any rockets capable of producing 1g for years.
