Windows 11 is a bad OS and is highly unsuited for both consumer and professional use cases.
One example - I can’t use Rust to build programs on it without a Visual Studio Pro license at $99/month, or a promise to only ever build open source programs with it.
Don’t @ me about the gnu ABI target.

Today's "vibe-code non-trivial changes to a Rust crate" stream is up! Got to 2/4 changes and then ran out of tokens on the Claude Pro plan 😅 Still TBD if my Luddite skepticism is apt, but it was fun, interesting, and did shed light on the ups and downs of agentic Rust coding!

Hello #gamedev. I'm planning to build my first "real" game as a solo developer and would love to speak with fellow solo devs and indie studio founders for mentorship.
Going full-time is really scary and it would really help hearing about your experience and insights.
Please leave a reply or DM me.

I am 100% convinced that only the people who used to fall into the "my job is copy and pasting from stackoverflow" category are seeing any productivity gains from AI.
I try almost every new model and they all fail in even solving mildly novel problems.

I think any AI based completion tool is a bad fit for me because for any non trivial problem it takes me longer to read the solution than to write the solution.
Imo reading code is often harder than writing code.

Hello #gamedev, can someone guide me on how to learn 3D low poly modeling?
I am fairly bad at art in general but I think all skills can be learned with enough effort.
I am hoping to get to the point where I am able to make all of the art for my game since I don't have a lot of money.

Is #kagi search worth paying $10/month or should I stick with #duckduckgo for free?
Looking for opinions from people who have used #kagi search.

Before Rust was created by Graydon Hoare in 2006, no other programmer had ever thought to make a *good* programming language before. Rust was the first, and will probably remain the last.

Rust affects the way we think about to programming and that’s beautiful in itself. I was forced to think about things I would otherwise dismiss.

Anyone interested in building a game storefront?
I think steam has no real competition as none of its "competitors" even try to reach feature parity with steam.
I think the steam's (currently deserved) monopoly could be challenged by providing a better platform for #indie games.

I am generally of the opinion that current #AI tech is nearly useless but today I came across trellis3d.github.io.
The models generated using this new paper are unreasonably good. They do lose some quality from the input image but seem good enough to make a prototype for a #game.

Rust-Based, Memory-Safe PNG Decoders "Vastly Outperform" C-Based PNG Libraries
Video and image encoders/decoders written in the Rust programming language for its memory safety guarantees is often viewed as one of the compelling areas for the programming language to better protect against malformed/malicious content especially within web browsers. Not only are Rust-based PNG image decoders proving to be more secure than C-based decoders, but the performance of the Rust solutions can be even faster...

Rust is a more exciting language than most programmers give it credit for because it's a mainstream language with a Big Idea that isn't ultimately derived from something Lisp was doing decades ago.

In my experience #AI fails to be anything more than a better autocomplete while taking significantly more time to output a suggestion.
I tried #copilot for a month but the 1-2 second pause really caused any deep thoughts to derail waiting for it to come up with a suggestion.

Apparently the Rust drop function for a Box does not get tail call optimized. Ran into a bug where dropping a large tree caused the program to crash due to stack overflow caused by the recursive drop_in_place calls.
