Interesting numbers, it would be great to see how the statistics look for different “categories” of communities. Interaction based communities (c/ask X) and political communities will naturally garner more comments than information communities. E.g. while you may enjoy the content of blogs posted on !godot@programming.dev or !programming@programming.dev, you’re probably less likely to comment than on !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !casualconversation@lemmy.world
I think it’s a thing mainly for hobby programmers and young students that don’t have a solid foundation/grasp of programming yet, which also likely makes up a big portion of programming meme communities.
Have one really dedicated and passionate person moderate and reach out to people for AMAs.
Functional programming would have quite the problem if it wasn’t a thing.
No, they are talking about weights that spits out a body fat percentage alongside the weight.
Considering Russia’s interest in the islands, that might not be all that great of a choice.
It would be nice to have way for admins and mods to make notes on people. E.g. If you are giving someone a warning, you currently need to use an external tool to log the warning.
Ah, I see. Do you use any guidelines for when to apply it, or is it just by feel?
Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reasoning for not using type hints?
Haven’t looked much at the code, but not using type annotations in a large python project in 2025 sounds a bit suspect.
As for tests, meh. Trying to test and catch errors in stateful processes is a losing cause, so I sort of get it, at least for a language like python. It’s better to focus on making it fault tolerant. Let it crash and just restart the process. If it’s a logical error, it should be easy to detect. No idea how fault tolerant piefed is designed to be though.
1000+ line files with no type hints doesn’t sound all that great though, some people thrive in the chaos I suppose.
The feedback is a bit harsh though, and doesn’t really inform the developers of why these issues can be deal breakers for some.
The hen can’t be alone with the fox or the grain, so it’s still the same.
Maybe I’m blind, but I can’t see it? The target audience is PC gamers, and even though I rarely browse gaming websites anymore, this type of snark seems to be fairly standard for the last 10+ years.
Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time, but it’s looked pretty much the same for the entirety of its almost 14 year run. There’s an argument to be made that it’s showing its age in places, an argument I won’t make because I don’t think so myself, but all the same, as revealed during today’s Minecraft Live, Mojang announced that the sandbox game is getting a pretty big visual overhaul update called Vibrant Visuals. Now, don’t worry, it’ll still be all blocks and squares ‘n’ that, but it will be changing up how lighting looks.
A blog post explains things in a bit more detail, with one of the big things being that there’ll now be volumetric lighting. What that translates to is things like sunlight shining more naturally across different surfaces, even shining through windows, and every individual block will cast its own shadow. Mobs and items will glow a bit more too, so it’s not just about the overworld lighting.
This update is coming to the Bedrock Edition of the game first, with the post noting that it hopes to bring this “graphics revamp (either fully or partially) to as many devices as possible”, though there’s not even a release window for it yet. There are plans to bring it to Java Edition too.
I might not have much of a horse in this race as someone that only really plays Minecraft once in a blue moon (and normally swiftly puts it down because I’m not that kind of creative and I get too stressed out from survival mode), but honestly, I’m not a fan. Minecraft is inherently not a natural looking game, and this lighting overhaul just adds a touch to much realism for my tastes. Besides, this kind of lighting already exists in countless mods, so for plenty of people it’s not even really needed.
In any case, there were a few other announcements from Minecraft Live too, like the fact you’ll soon be able to fly around on friendly versions of ghasts, which I do quite like the look of. There’s a live event taking place from March 25 to April 7 too where you get to hang out with Jack Black’s version of Steve to defend a village in some mini-games, which’ll net you a cape if you’re successful. Bit less exciting, but to each their own!
First line in their about us:
Rock Paper Shotgun is about PC gaming.
The older generation in Norway also uses that format. I usually tell them that we aren’t under German occupation anymore, so they should use the sensible format.
If you haven’t tried it yet, the HL1 fan remake/remaster Half Life Black Mesa is great, one of the best games out there in my opinion.
Main takeaway is the HL2 still looks pretty good
Skaven to finally make their 40k debut
Unreal Engine 5 isn’t all that great when it comes to utilising the CPU. What CPU do you have and on what settings are you running?
Asking out of curiosity, haven’t bought the game yet.
