Boxxy must be what...40 now?
I am unironically going to start using "fostering gratitude loops with dish-based reciprocity"
with the power of the heart of the cards, and this new haircut, I can win her back!
Thanks for the rec! I'll definitely suggest that but the head of our IT dept has a particular dislike for FOSS, due to past bad experiences, but I've been slowly whittling him down.
my company was paying a license for a tool to let them snag areas of the screen for screenshots, with quick tools to hilight or circle or add arrows to certain areas. an expensive license. more people than I care to admit we're shocked when I showed them the windows snipping tool with win + shift + x
I think we might have worked at the same company. Did it begin with a K?
You can't share a story like that and not name the band and album!
I too also want to know what the Irish instance is.
Holy shit.
I saw them live last year for the finale tour and even live, I heard "up above in my head"
if I remember rightly, they had an entire props department doing the creature in the old-school way, with property and special effects, and decided in editing to replace it with CGI. Really sad. Think of how great modern physical effects could be with the advanced we made since the 80s
A two word rebuttal naming the argument type someone is using, does not constitute a valid argument.
What's even more maddening, there was a fisherman named Finn who dedicated his life to catching the salmon. Every day he got up and laid a trap for it, and every day the salmon outsmarted him. But finally one day, after seven years of failures he managed to catch it. So he guts the fish and sticks it over the fire to cook it, but hes dying to take a piss and is afraid to keave the salmon in case it burns and is ruined. Up walks Half-man half-god, all party animal Fionn mac Cumhaill (transliteration: Finn McCool, there's a lot of people named Finn in Irish folklore) and says "hey man whats going on"
The fisherman explains his predicament asks him "Hey can you do me a favor and watch this salmon while I run off for a piss, but don't eat it!"
"No prob" says Fionn and off the fisherman runs. Fionn sits down and watches the fish. After some time he notices a blister appearing on the side of the fish so he pokes it to pop it, but burns his thumb. Just as the fisherman comes back from releiving himself Fionn sticks his thumb in his mouth to suck it, to cool off the burn, and wouldn't you know it, is suddenly granted with all the knowledge and wisdom of mankind. His eyes glow blue.
"Balls" says the fisherman. "I was going to eat that" and Fionn apologises and while the fisherman is intialky angryz he forgives Fionn, because hes a half-god and has a thing for killing people and could probably tear him in half. and from that day on whenever he needs to think or understand something on a deeper level, he just bites his thumb and the answer comes to him.
Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.
I think you might think I'm arguing against Godot for app UI. I'm not in fact I'm totally in favour of it! What I'm originally saying is that people who are against it, argue it'd because its inefficient compared to regular UI toolkits. To deny that would be a lie, because yes, it is. But that doesn't mean you don't use it. You just understand the trade offs your making, and you try to minimise those tradeoffs with optimisations. If every app ignored optimisations for efficiency, wed be in a much worse situation. All those apps run smoothly in tandem because devs have made the optimisations. Its good practice to try and do the samez if you use Godot for app UI.
Mostly its this way because the language has evolved over time and relies heavily on several similar but competing interpretations of how things should be done. Similar thing happened to PHP, back in the web1 days.
I don't think its that unlikely, depending on the workflow. For example when I'm working on a game in Godot I have Godot itself, aseprite for texture editing, trenchbroom for level editing, audacity for sound editing, a 3d modeling tool, a code editor, messaging app, music player, that's 8 already and not counting the browser!
Oh they would for sure. Having worked with a few of them they are really aggressive about what will render and when. Usually, only the control that changes is rerendered. With Godot even in low process mode Id imagine it is going to rerender the entire application window when anything changes. I'd have to do some tests. I know from research before there are other optimisations you can make in code to low memory and processor usage.
Not necessarily, as pointed out in another comment, if you had 5, 10 or even more apps open at once, and ALL of them were redrawing entirely every frame there might be some significant impact. In the naive case where you're build a small app to do one thing, Godot works great as is, once you understand this limitation. I also just learned of a new feature "low processor mode that explicitly prevents full redrawing unless something changes, Ive edited my original comment to mention it.
