You'll find me on #Mastodon now: @fhd@mstdn.social

@bonsaisab Mandatory (ancient) joke:

@girba I thought syntax was structure, semantics meaning. Ironically we're now arguing semantics about the phrase "arguing semantics" - very meta :D

@AutisticJW @Mean_Sapphic @ZoeSchiffer We name them when they're past the age of two. Younger than that they're too likely to die, so we try not to get attached.

RT @Mean_Sapphic: @ZoeSchiffer Oh yea? You're into software engineering? Name ten lines of code right now

So far, I'm quite enjoying Mastodon - feels like Twitter in the old days, probably mostly because there's fewer people and only organic content.

Dabbling in game development again after a ~8 year hiatus. Decided to go for a third party engine for the first time. Tried the common ones: Terrified by UE, disgusted by Unity, delighted by Godot.

@kondwanisquared Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. To my defense, I wasn't aware of being a bank :/

I find @valvesoftware's hardware products surprisingly good, not just the Index. Got myself the (discontinued) Steam Controller and I love it for games designed for keyboard/mouse. Maybe I'm just the right kind of weird for this stuff :D

@cliffski If you have (or want to afford) a Valve Index -> Half Life: Alyx

@hadizaschmitz I did say "in my experience" a lot in that tweet, but I think I had more mild experiences - my kids just have weird names. But as soon as they started talking the inappropriate questions stopped.

Which is fine, do your thing. I'm just annoyed by the hippocricy in the tech industry right now. Say how you do things and be proud of it or change.

@JobPlas @shadowspar @victormihaiu Touché!

@victormihaiu Yeah, when those are the kind of names that pop into your head, you probably shouldn't be doing it :D

Is everything in Swift UI a hack? I probably spent something like two hours finding a workaround for setting the line height of a paragraph of text. Love the concept, but execution seems horrible

@victormihaiu If the gas station chain says "We don't want Mercedes cars here" - what's Mercedes gonna do about it? :D
