otherwise, if you decide to go off grid and live in the woods, people don't have to hire a PI to hunt you down just to ask these simple things.

PSA If you sell assets - please, always, for the love of god, include some form of ToS and a licence, otherwise, people might not buy them if they have no idea how they can use them. Can I use them in my commercial game, can I put them on a T-shirt and sell them etc

i feel you. i use rust for the bot and just picked termion, because it feels like a light wrapper and I need Linux only anyway.

oopsie, the flickering was an infinite loop in my drawing function, because I copied the code from a prototype I made to learn the library.

Decided to make a super-simple TUI for my tetris bot. Had never made TUIs before. A lot of fun, feels like using CSS for the first time - now I want to add a TUI for everything I make. Now I hope that, unlike Anthropic, I don't need a year to fix flickering.

Up until today, i had never noticed how git prints two different messages for noop push and pull, including two different ways to spell "up to date" and now it's bothering me extremely.
Terminal screenshot with the text:
~/code/cal main $ git pull
Already up to date.
~/code/cal main $ git push
Everything up-to-date

that's not insecurity. That's sociopathy.

After scratching my webscraping itch, I want to explore the logical next step - game automation. Can I make a (very) bad tetris bot? I think I just need to come out of the bot closet. Out of all personal software projects, making random bots is among my favorites.

Cracks me up seeing posts like “I vibecoded this thing to solve this very specific problem of mine. Github link below.” As if they’re doing the world a favor instead of polluting the public internet with slop noone else has any use for.

I've been keeping a handwritten logbook, because handwriting is supposedly good for your brain. I write in english, but I decided to start doing it in my native language, because it makes more sense and, after spending a whole day with my brain in english, it's so weird.

Fifteen years late, but I finally beat Skyrim. Actually, I didn't know that I had beaten it until I looked it up, because the credits didn't trigger on the Steam Deck.

Heartbreaking reading about the stolen laptops at gamescom, but also - why leave an unencrypted laptop with your game builds at the venue. BitLocker, LUKS, etc. exists for a reason. Also, why leave it there in the first place … :/

the term "youtuber horror movie" is finally getting a good connotation. Iron Lung, Backrooms and Obsession. What a trifecta of great horror!

im using cachy os (an arch derivative) on both my computers don't use it. it's a rolling release distro, so it might randomly break, or it might never break. 😄

yeah, i've been checking the trait proposal once in a while. i didn't expect such discourse over a keyword, but, I guess, that's what happens when it's an open source project without a BDFL.

... completely optional, but there for developers who want it? Of course, no feature is free, there's always a maintenance cost. Anyway, I'm not saying "I can't live without this, add or riot". I've managed without before, and I'll manage in the future. GDScript is great already!

Can you give me an example of said conflict? What's wrong with trying to find the best way to do something? Isn't that what [language] design is about - to find elegant solutions to complicated problems? I don't see harm in having a feature that is somewhere in that remaining 10%, ...

Fair point. I just want to be a bit more expressive with my types, but I understand how that can go into a rabbithole that can end up convoluting the language too much.

Hot reload alone is worth it. I hope for godot 5 they maybe go for a JIT type approach, so we get a bit more performance out of it, not that it’s a huge deal. It’s already pretty snappy.

ah, i figured that federation was the selling point. AFAIK forgejo instances also have some form of federation, but, I guess, it isn't advertised too much. Thanks for the explanation!

Odin definitely compiles to WASM, but Odin + Raylib (what I use) to WASM is tricky, although there are people who have had success. The current thing I'm working on uses some filesystem APIs for the asset stuff which aren't supported in WASM,. So, TLDR about the deploy to web stuff - yes and no :D

rihards paskausks @rp.wtf · 14/08/2026
Odin is fairly different from gdscript, and yet they are similar enough that it screws with my muscle memory when I switch from one to the other.

odin + raylib has been borken for weeks on arch linux/cachyOS. I have been abstaining from updating my laptop, since I have the old, working version, because I don't want to compile odin manually or, god forbid, install it from AUR.
