One of my test houses renders properly now, but only because the stairs happen to face south

Wait why is the chunk scheduler O(n²), why did I think that was a good idea

Thanks @martijnbraam for helping model the open piston!

Getting better at quickly knocking out weird block models with the assistance of blender

It begins

Last could of days have been a break from implementing Minecraft beta 1.7.3 to spend some time actually playing it for the first time in... a while

lol, I thought the tesselator was causing the lag spikes, it was the scheduler (it takes 100x longer than the tesselator with this stupid algorithm)

These chunks courtesy of a vanilla Minecraft beta 1.7.3 server

This version of the network protocol is really annoying to implement because you have to write decoders for *every* packet format because the packets are not length prefixed

To anyone who is doing anything with machine learning, please stop

Signed, everyone else

With a bit of effort I was able to get GitHub's new AI garbage to reproduce the lyrics to All Star by Smash Mouth

Prior to poking at jj I had managed to avoid using GitHub for quite a while, actually. Months, I think. And they added more AI shit since I last looked at it

Opened a discussion on #jujutsu's Google CLA requirement here:

https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/discussions/4849

There's good news on the Discord front, a bridge between Discord and IRC has been established and some discussions are ongoing to continue to make improvements in this regard.

I have been playing with some patches. Submitted one upstream as a minor bugfix and said I'd sign-off on the DCO but wouldn't sign the Google CLA. Got code review but no comment on the CLA refusal so we'll see where that goes.

I want to add email support!

Still studying #jujutsu as an alternative to #git. Some new thoughts:

1. I really like it
2. The docs are bad
3. 🤮 Discord

Bunnix is probably one of the most complex Hare programs that exists -- it's a functional Unix kernel. It's also freestanding, so "how many discrete types are in this program" is an easy question to answer. The answer is 451.

@PuddleOfKittens I think that LSPs serve a purpose for a programming subculture that I am not a member of and do not understand very well. For that reason I don't judge it too much. But I will say that the complexity floor seems uncomfortably high and that this subculture tends to have a laissez-faire relationship with software complexity that I do think is "bad".

"How many types in total are in your program?"

Rust: tens of thousands
Hare: probably less than one hundred

Generally skeptical of programming languages that require an IDE (or an LSP, which is the same thing) to use effectively

That said I do want to write a language server for Hare at some point because I think that would be useful to certain kinds of programmers

But the LSP specification is, uh, quite a doozy
