Apple Vision Pro is dying.
Too bad making games or apps for Apple is such a pain. At this point I feel like they’d need to partner with Steam and run Windows games via proton in order to achieve any course correction.

A balm for book buyers.
“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones…. “—Umberto Eco

New crate. bevy_plane_cut v0.1.0
It slices, it dices, it cuts your models visually with a plane. It works with the forward renderer. The cut can be shaded or unlit. It can work in screenspace.

@npub1y7x…jrl4 It’s funny the test for an independent mind is to not be free of errors but to err in its own way.

You know what’s especially bad about AI-generated “slop”? If someone else wrote something as stupid or brilliant, you could credit that person with your opprobrium or praise. With AI, it’s not clear anything like that is appropriate. It’s like having books with no author. The author is the most important thread to finding similar material and AI doesn’t have one. https://mastodon.social/@daringfireball/112407183487557608

Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years
This is one of those scary articles because it’s hard to find fault with it and the author’s experience beats my own in terms of time with rust and breadth in gamedev. #rustlang https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40172033

[Hard drive insufficient space warning.] Time to free the gigabytes again.
$ for dir in $(find -name "target"); do (cd $dir/.. && cargo clean); done
Sound off. I got 110 gigabytes back. #rustlang

CLIPPY: Use of `format!` to build up a string from an iterator.
ME: You do what now?
CLIPPY: For further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#format_collect
ME: Oooh! I didn't know you could accept the accumulator as mutable. Thanks, Clippy!

TIL in rust you can construct a positional struct using a field struct expression. The indices can even be in arbitrary order. #rustlang
