I've just read the updated App Review Guidelines.
https://developer.apple.com/news/
Found this bit interesting:
"4.1(c): This new guideline specifies that you cannot use another developer’s icon, brand, or product name in your app’s icon or name, without approval from the developer."
...it's terrible that this even has to be written down as a rule. Unfortunately, it's !just Apple that has problems w/ copycats.

Just had a second interview for a job in southern france.

At least i wont freeze to death omg

Task in progress: removing Angular from the mindset of our management. If I manage to bring this home, our next projects will not use Angular.

I don't care how many consultants they hire to swear Angular is the best choice, I don't care how retarded some tech leads are for learning ONE framework 5 years ago and refusing to work with anything else, they will learn how to code.

I had yesterday a 1-on-1 with my manager (the only backend dev) and he wants that I, the only frontend developer, creates the needed SQL tables via API calls. What the hell is this company.

I don't even have access to the production data nor have access to the database.

My website runs on Oracle Cloud's free tier.

Your website runs on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, sitting behind a CloudFlare load balancer, and it's up and down like a whore's drawers.

We are not the same.

this website has like, connections to AlpineJS, jQuery, 3 different web font providers, calling some WordPress theme CSS from another website, uses TailwindCSS v2, inline styles, the fuckin head tag's content is almost 400 lines of fuckin code.

I can't help but laugh and feel sorry for the poor soul who had to build this. Was clearly in over his head.

I got my severance check today, and although it is a decent chunk of change, I still don't feel secure. Numbers wise, with this money + savings + my wife's consistent income, we can last quite a while. In my head though I am still on high alert.

When will I find a new job? Will I find a job new? If I get an interview, am I going to fumble hard?

Interviewing is perseverance and a healthy dosage of luck. I really need the luck.

OK, so Chatgpt is ditching the EM dashes. Sad, because that's how we easily could recognize the idiots. Also it's not new at all to let Chatgpt drop the EM dashes as been stated in article. I have a very detailed analysis about my writing and it copies it perfectly. So, they're selling us a placebo. Idiots. Also, for high quality information they relied on 1900's books? All the shit that came after that is a bullshit indeed. Not surprised...

Hi y'all! I got question, for my engine map format (the map editor will be blender/blockbench) should I just use a GLTF that contains every node and extras for light and custom properties or code a blender plugin that exports a TOML like:
# === MAP ===
name = "E1M1"
description = "At Doom's gate"

# --- Objets ---
[[objects]]
path = "assets/models/tree01.obj"
position = [10.5, 0.0, -3.2]
rotation = [0.0, 90.0, 0.0] # pitch, yaw, roll in degrees
scale = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

[[objects]]
path = "assets/models/coin_gold.obj"
position = [5.0, 1.0, 2.5]
rotation = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
scale = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

[[objects]]
path = "assets/models/rock_large.obj"
position = [-2.3, 0.0, 4.8]
rotation = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
scale = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

# --- Static lights ---
[[lights]]
type = "point" # "point", "directional", "spot"
position = [0.0, 5.0, 0.0] # spot or point
direction = [0.0, -1.0, 0.0] # spot or directional
color = [1.0, 0.9, 0.7] # RGB, 0.0 to 1.0
intensity = 1.0
radius = 10.0 # influence radius
angle = 45.0 # angle for spot

[[lights]]
type = "directional"
direction = [1.0, -1.0, 0.0]
color = [0.8, 0.8, 1.0]
intensity = 0.6

# --- Spawn points (user-added triggers) ---
[[spawn_points]]
name = "PlayerStart"
position = [0.0, 0.0, 5.0]
rotation = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]

[[spawn_points]]
name = "EnemySpawn01"
position = [15.0, 0.0, -3.0]
rotation = [0.0, 180.0, 0.0]

Week: 114 (Year 3)

How was the weekend?

Question: What is something most people misunderstand about you?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19381611

With mentions being broken and retoor creating an RSS feed for mentions, I made a small python script that reads retoor's feed and filters out only mentions of you and sends them as desktop notifications:
https://github.com/yuriKhordal/...

It's technically cross platform, but I've only tested this on linux with KDE, so no idea how or if it works on windows, and the tools around the script (install script, systemd service, run script, and the instructions on github) are currently linux only. Sorry Windows people, hadn't had the time to test this on windows and I've already spent more time on it than I originally allocated for it (accidentally sat 16 hours straight programming yesterday until mornimg and then "collapsed" into bed :P), I'll try to get to it somewhen this week. But it's still possible to run the "manual way" as `python dr-mentions.py` from CMD.

Bug reports are welcome, and round of Applause for retoor and every one of you that is keeping this dying platform alive <3

necessity the mother of invention

or boredom?

A few months ago I was certain I had lost my laptop

So I bought a new laptop.

Yesterday I found it

It was standing among the books in my bookshelf -_-

I know u guys don't care but I chose to go with TOML for lights and entities eg triggers, enemies, player spawn, etc.. and IQM. Plus it'll be a FPS engine, just like Quake (no)!

Getting this strange bug in Chrome where any div is readonly-editable (you can click and a cursor will appear, but you can't edit the text)

Either my install is bugged or Chrome devs are becoming exactly as skilled as Crowdstrike, AWS and Cloudflare devs.

Delighted to see that this site is still alive.
I''d like to hear your opinions about my take on libre licences:

GUYS THE WOKE DID IT AGAIN

I just had a really great conversation with a Co-CEO of a startup, and I've never seen someone's eyes light up like this before. As soon as I asked:

"How did you see the need for (company name)?"

They spent a good 20 minutes talking about it and how they got there. Sometimes people force a square peg into a circle hole, but this person really sees and feels the need for the product. Very refreshing.
