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]

that feel when you bought something years ago and today you realized it's more modular than you thought

awww hell yeah

As requested by @SoldierOfCode and @Lensflare.

Around every 5-7 minutes the files will be updated with new data. Could speed this up actually.

No async stuff, let's not kill the server. Python native.

As already somewhere else mentioned, even a 200,-/month paying user means loss for chatgpt. So theur business is not a little bit non-sustainable.

How will this play out? Bevause if that's true, they could never ask the price it needs and still have users.

Anthropic will be profitable by end of 2028, but that's not weird if I see so many people saying the have cloud max. But still, it has a way to go.

Things that we should collectively refuse to do while job searching:

- AI interviews and live coding sessions
- Working with recruiters who don't know shit about tech
- "What is your Github" (I don't use github, retard, they're microsoft. Beside, I don't have a strong portefolio because I had an actual job, you should try it).

you cold apply to a job and get ghosted

i cold apply and get two rejection emails

we are not the same

The college I went to has changed their rules regarding AI-assisted coding. Any proof that you are vibe coding or using AI tools would be an immediately failure of that class

I wonder how they detect that efficiently and without any errors.

They also had rules for not copy pasting code from stackoverflow, blogs or docs. I used to do that and add the link & tried to explain the code myself. But I never got feedback if that is good or not or if the professor did grade that part of the code or did not grade.

it makes sense for me that you want the students to actually learn. But is it also not important that students can use AI tools efficiently? Does the end user really care if your website is AI coded or not (not the content, but the actual website) as long as it works like you want. It's also important to stay upto date especially as a student. But at the same time, being stubborn and bashing your head on a problem till it works is a nice skill, sometimes AI can't solve it.

Also, the college does not offer computers and you have to buy one yourself. So they can't manage it. Even if they can do it, doesn't the average IT student have a very easy time to go around the block? I'm so glad I'm not in official education anymore lol

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.

Vape bloggers be telling people that it's impossible to quit vaping salt nicotine but I quit successfully. Here's how it went:
1. I took my addiction to the point when I vaped three cartridges a day (that's a lot). I remembered that feeling and recalled that dizziness and urge to vomit instead of "pleasure" when I wanted to vape again
2. It's hard to quit on your own. Instead of nicorette and other shit that doesn't work (because it's also nicotine), I took Cytisine. It removed that URGE and the only thing left to tackle was a psychological addiction
3. Vaping and smoking in my head was tied to a cool moments that I experienced, like smoking with the boys after a hackaton, etc. I analyzed them and realized that they're cool not because of the fact of smoking, they are cool per se. So smoking was not necessary

In my last days of cytisine therapy I not only forgot that I vaped, I sometimes forgot to take cytisine. That means the therapy was successful. My average running distance already improved from 1.5 to 3 km.

There is a research that quitting consuming nicotine can help cure depression. I'll check on that

Working as a software engineer but: co-workers randomly walk into my office to ask me <<insert random IT problem (i.e. mouse not working etc.)>> while I'm deeply focused programming. Trying to close my office door results in co-workers backbiting...

Why can't they just go to the IT administrator who's work it is to handle their fucking problems?
