insane Godot design decision of the day: `bytes_to_var` doesn't deserialize objects but `str_to_var` does, leading to code execution with absolutely no warning about it. there is a 3 yrs open issue for this problem and one of the comments with 50 likes is "hidden as abuse" github.com/godotengine/...

The AI coding tools have advanced a lot in the year+ since I posted this but I still see a ton of this phenomenon. I'm convinced that a significant percentage of the wow factor for a lot of folks can be chalked up to simply not having known their old tools well prior to the arrival of the new tools.

Enjoyed reading this. I was explaining CASE and spec or example driven dev tools from the long-ago times and why they disappeared last week. This has some nice mental models and explanations, plus I never knew about The Last One.

also i think at least a few of them are just depressed because they fully believe AI will replace them and is inevitable even if they don't like it

yeah definitely. they're all beholden to the investors and shareholders in the end, and the only way they know to make the money machine keep working is to pander to them as much as possible

I just discovered that unity's Matf.SmoothStep is NOT A SMOOTHSTEP 😭 it's entirely missing the step part of smoothstep, it's just a lerp with a smoothing curve applied there's no step in that!! that's just a smooth! maybe this is just me being graphics programmer brained but unity pls 😭

although strictly strictly speaking it doesn't *require* a separate function but i haven't tested whether it's more efficient to use one or not yet
010
Hyeve @blahaj.pet · 20/04/2026
strictly speaking this isn't the entire logic because it requires a separate function for the last axis for... reasons (data alignment stuff) but i haven't written that part yet

Hyeve @blahaj.pet · 20/04/2026
sometimes you optimize binary greedy meshing so hard that the actual logic of it compiles into 22 assembly instructions (everything else is just loops that load data into this function)
a 22-instruction snippet of x86-64 assembly, featuring a single loop

at least in CLion, using a triple slash has this behavior and continues it to new lines automatically, so it's definitely a built in thing even if it isn't done for // block comments with /* also get automatically continued

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

this is real tbh i was having a real boring time at uni and decided to take a gap year to just to try and look for work/jobs, and by some luck I did get hired! so it is doable, actual workplaces don't care as much about a degree as everyone wants you to think.

I really can't put this more clearly. If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on. There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

I remembered I never posted clips of the shader stuff I did for @automaphoni.ca, so, here you go! This is possibly the most advanced shader effect I've ever made - there's no geometry or models here, just one shader and a LOT of math.
