Genuine question: what is the point of this? What does Trump think this will accomplish? People are still going to call it Lake Ontario, just like people still call it the Gulf of Mexico. All this does is make the executive branch look like a bunch of whiny toddlers.

Big desk doesn't want you to know this, but you can just use a plastic folding table for a desk. I've used mine for years now and I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. Plus it's got a lot of desk space and leg room.

I don't understand how windows users can tolerate this shit. Genuinely why the fuck does this operating system need to spend several minutes applying updates on boot instead of just applying them while running. Pretty much every modern UNIX-like doesn't do this.

I felt bored, so I wrote a few Genmon scripts in Lua to spice up my taskbar by tracking CPU and memory usage. They're in the public domain if you want to use them for something yourself. github.com/skinchangerd...

Just spent ~3 hours debugging some quaternion math in an Unreal Engine project only to fix the issue by using Euler angles instead.

Look Elon, clang-format has allowed me to be incredibly productive when working on my codebase! Just look at how many lines of code I've changed in a matter of minutes! I'm totally a 100x developer who is making substantial positive changes which matter to users!

A summary of a git commit showing that 62 files have been changed, with 842 lines added and 1076 lines deleted.

This commit was created using clang-format, a formatting tool for code which does not affect it's meaning or logic.

Being mildly interested in British politics is so funny as an American. You'll look away for one second only to see some bullshit like the Prime Minister endorsing Count Binface.

I try using a build of Unreal 5.8 compiled from source. It crashes. I try using a pre-compiled build of Unreal 5.8. It crashes. I try using O3DE. It crashes. I try an older version of O3DE. That fails to compile. I finally get a fix for Unreal 5.8, and now it only freezes instead. fuck my life.

The Reflecting Pool really doesn't matter that much, but it's incredibly funny to watch the POTUS crash out about algae.

Algae floats on the surface of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, blocking the reflection of the water with green sludge. The Washington monument can be seen in the distance.

We should fund efforts to create element 121 solely so that we can forever ruin full-length periodic table posters by forcing them to display g-block elements.

Sometimes I really wish we still had big box physical games for PC. Even if I've never owned one, I can't help but view them incredibly fondly. Don't let physical media die for other platforms.

Really hate how people complain that Unreal Engine 5 is "unoptimized" based on their experience with the latest AAA slop that uses it and completely ignore other UE5 games that can run on decade-old hardware, e.g. DRG Rouge Core.

Recently finished the book "Extreme Programming Explained", and I've realized just how wrong I've been doing things with my hobby projects. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in programming, even if you work solo. It's short and gets the point across well.

Unreal Engine is one of those codebases that's so large that you sometimes randomly stumble onto stuff like this. What is even the point of this README?

A README that literally just says "Details forthcoming."

I feel like I'm burying nuclear waste

A multi-line code comment at the top of a .yaml file with the following text:
# Gonna be honest, I only know what half of these options do.
# If you are here from the future because clang-format is acting up, I'm so sorry.
# Also, clang-format doesn't work well with C# because of bracketed initializer blocks.
# See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63122 for more info.

I wish we could go back to the days of pop culture having not-so-subtle progressive messages instead of it being primarily composed of corporate slop.
