You can embed Lua pretty easily using a few different libraries. One I liked in particular was mlua. Lua is tiny, usually sufficiently fast, and easy to learn.

Otherwise, there are some others like Rhai, but there may be fewer resources available for users if you go with a less popular language.

On this topic, I remember seeing a thread for Frostpunk 2 asking if it had DEI stuff in it.

There aren’t even any real characters in Frostpunk 2. Tf are you talking about DEI for in a game with no real characters?

It’s hard to tell what it is you’re trying to do here, but maybe Option isn’t the right type? To me it feels like you’d want to return a type like Vec or an iterator.

I would recommend looking at some of the iterator functions to do this. You could look at filter_map, collect, and fold/try_fold and see if any of those help you here.

So, in other words, it’s so users excuse it when it produces dog shit. Got it.

Playing FFXIV for the first time.

I don’t really care for multiplayer games as much since I don’t like to commit my time to others to play games (I like being able to get up and leave when I need to), but there’s a solo challenge that sounded fun, so I’m giving that a shot.

Yeah, the timing of the article makes it clear what the motive is. It’s to distract discussion away from the article about Stallman.

Up to you. Two people can make mistakes at the same time. Whether there is truth to the claims, I’m not sure, but if there is truth then there are some unpleasant details in it.

Is this supposed to be a leading question? I’m not making the decisions, but there’s no reason to be happy about losing contributors in any case.

It’s supposed to put the LF in line with sanctions rather than at risk. They have no control over the invasion (aside from pushing a malicious patch that shuts down all Linux systems or something)

My understanding is that users can edit the chat themselves.

I don’t use c.ai myself, but my wife was able to get a chat log with the bot telling her to end herself pretty easily. The follow-up to the conversation was the bot trying to salvage itself after the sabotage by calling the message a joke.

Good point. Committing genocide is completely justifiable as long as you’re not the only one doing it.

The whole situation around Israel has bipartisan support. Even if it’s political, it’s hard to say they’re picking a side there.

If you’re hoping for the standard lib to have things built on evolving standards and ecosystems like HTTP clients, then I doubt that will ever happen. There are plenty of examples of why that would be a terrible idea (urllib, std::regex, etc).

Factorio. Probably for the next month or so as well.

Sometimes when I don’t leave comments like that, I get review comments asking what the line does. Code like ThisMethodInitsTheService() with comments like “what does this do?” in the review.

So now I comment a lot. Apparently reading code is hard for some people, even code that tells you exactly what it does in very simple terms.

TL;DR:

From today the license applied to the project will be the Apache 2.0 license with an extra line forbidding usage of the codebase as an integration or app to Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.

While it’s disappointing to see the additional restriction, it’s better to have a project the devs find sustainable than to have nothing at all. It seems like the goal of this change is to protect their main source of funding.

Worst case, people can fork the code before the change.

That’s my guess too. This would be way too many changes otherwise, with unsafe attributes, syntax changes, and feature additions (like use syntax).

I’ll give it about two weeks before some random court in Texas tries to block it.

Factorio is not for everyone, but it’s also one of the all stars of its genre. With the upcoming expansion in a couple weeks, it’ll probably eat another few hundred of my free hours over the next few months, and I know I’m not alone on this one.

Same devs also made Sea of Stars. I found it to be pretty fun.
