An LLM solved a coding problem that I had last night in a really elegant way I was not going to think of, and I was mad about it. Then I spent the rest of the evening asking it how to solve all the other problems I had, and it didn't work at all, so now I'm feeling better.

@yesthatkefke.bsky.social I know this is tangential to the point you were making. You said it should be easy to access accounts that don't matter. I agree. It should be easy to access accounts 😂

Notably, just the existence of a password on an account undermines one security aspect of passkeys, which is that you don't accidentally send them to phisherfolk. The browser won't let you. Glorious 🤩

I think every sign in should use passkeys by default with a link emailed to you as a fallback. No option for passwords. Then the factors are having your device, and the once-per-session password or biometric to access your passkeys.

Hi, we are using it and it has been great. Regarding shared config files: not all mods follow good conventions about what files need to be shared to make the instance work. Cobbleverse modpack title screen breaks when shared. Please let the shared instance contain more instance files or teach devs

Now available: View dependents of projects! Quite possibly *the* most highly requested feature for many years now, you can now browse for projects that depend on other projects. Also, browse for modpacks that contain the mods you're most interested in playing!

In the "More options" menu on project pages there are two new options, "View dependents" and "View modpacks"

A new "Depends on" filter category in search, which lets you select a project and type of dependency you're looking for.

A new "Included content" filter category in Modpack search, which lets you search for modpacks that contain selected projects.

Cool update. Love having the library on the home page. I had my instances sorted by version and that was helpful to me, why did you remove that sorting option? Please put it back, it doesn't bite.

The icons should have an option to pick one of the mods' icons from the instance. For my skyblock instance, I want to select the skyblock mod and have its icon rep the instance.

Does it need to display seconds? If you put a function in there that syncs to the system clock every 60s it at least it wouldn't accumulate? If the function isn't a performance impact you could even do every 10s or 1s

Tried out the Unplugged AFK mod as demonstrated by Xisuma - game changer. TBH a huge benefit is that I need the first thing I do in the morning to be thinking about my day and what to do that day, not minecraft. And when I wake up and see minecraft open, my whole day becomes minecraft by default.

gone are the days of hardcoded block chiseling and crushing. chisels and maces are now used in a new block conversion system that's purely data-driven. with this system, you can use any item to turn any block into another while playing any sound + cooldown! #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

No one in my family knew anything about coding so I was on Scratch from fourth grade to ninth grade, and even though I didn't ever hear about classes or pointers or memory, there was PLENTY of room for me to run wild, and those years of basic practice were invaluable.

Rust should add unwise{} blocks where you can buy a timeshare or text your ex and the compiler won't try to talk you out of it.

It's good of you to bother with the alt text. For what it's worth, no screen reader is going to make sense of that garbled nonsense. When I post screenshots like this, I usually write "Screenshot of a shell terminal. {explanation of what is going on}".

Why are we making Conway's Game of Life this complicated? Full disclosure, I haven't tested my version yet but dang if I don't feel like I did this right Simply the most confusing match statement possible. The catch-all "otherwise" in the example code will always evaluate to Cell:Dead🤨 #rustlang

Screenshot of two rust language match statements, labeled "my code" and "the tutorial's code". They both calculate the next state of a cell in Conway's Game of Life given the current alive/dead status of the cell. The one labeled "my code" has two match patterns that are both very clear and concise. The match statement labeled "the tutorial's code" has five match patterns that are a mess.
