In a functioning society these fucks would have been sued into bankruptcy for suppressing those studies in the 80s. In our society they can continue to make record profits every year

Came here to say this, but I was delayed by having to clean my cargo target folder.

Unity Software to lay off 1,800 employees, or 25% of staff in c/gamedev@programming.dev
[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago (3 children)

It's great to see the majority of workers paying for the mistakes of that big pricing fuckup that was approved by a minority of people in power. Just a normal day for capitalism, nothing to see here.

Unity is reviewing its product portfolio and says layoffs are "likely" in c/games@lemmy.world

This year's Unity story sums up my discontent with tech nicely. Impressive tech made by extremely talented people, botched by incompetent corporate parasites who care only about securing their millions.

What is the point of empty forks? (programming.dev)
 

I see this so often, but I don't understand it. Some people just fork a huge amount of repos and never commit anything to them. What's the point? Are they trying to pad their profile for potential employers or what?

It just clutters your active repos. Personally, I just remove forks once my PR gets merged upstream. And I only fork when I'm ready to push a commit.

Is there something I'm missing?

Why Rust is the most admired language among developers? in c/rust@programming.dev
[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

So the survey of 90k developers on one of the most popular programming sites, have it as the most "want to reuse it in the future" language for 8 years and this is somehow a minority?

What is your data source for this enlightened majority that is opposed to it? Your own opinion?

Impressions on Unity Entities package (programming.dev)
 

For anyone that has tried the 1.0 release of entities what do you think of it?

I plan on making a small test project with it soon and comparing it to Bevy.

I tried the 0.17 version a while ago, and I remember the API was a huge mess. I'm sure things could only get better from there.

TypeScript. I quite like it.. plus a bonus rant about languages in c/programming_languages@programming.dev

No, you can't replace JS with Wasm entirely. Wasm can't access the DOM https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Concepts
