pure functional programmers on their way to cut out all of their family, friends and responsibilities to have zero side effects on their life (it ensures nothing unexpected will happen throughout their lifetime): it just makes it so predictable, i know i can just go to sleep with no interruptions

question: you say that it's like a progressive enhancement thing where the comments don't work without javascript. but why does it need client side javascript in the first place? can't it just get ssred without any client side javascript?

tenna whispering (You can do Alot with a single seagull.) in a cursive font. In the background is an imageof a seagull

i needed the font to make it be as accurate as possible. i ended up using garamond italic, rendering it at 15px, and then resizing it with near neighbour to get it to have that kind of pixely look, then i tilted it out a bit additionally with this result.
I know it's not the same font and that's sad

@shapemover.bsky.social Hey, I'm terribly sorry for contacting you like this, but, would it be possible for you to reveal the name of the font used for the little cursive whispery word art sections used by tenna? I was making an image edit out of an out of context line in my friend group and

I really appreciate the commitment to pixel correctness.

Correct rendering doesn't seem to be the top priority for most rust gui libraries and it's really disappointing, someone needs to get them in front of a 1024x768 screen so they can see what they have done.

( Amazing release btw ❤️❤️❤️ )

Waiter! Waiter! More PS1 styled horror games!

besides that this looks really good, great job

I find it to be pretty hard to estimate just how good or fast swift is as a language considering all of this stuff.

Feel free to nitpick this thread because I'm not an expert but personally, I'd let it sit and cook in the oven for a bit.

I like the language itself but.. idk about everything else.

benchmarks show anything realistic (considering the fact the nodejs examples use node magic to run the frameworks in parallel on all cores which is usually not something people tend to do in javascript) but honestly I find it to be pretty dissapointing.

Source code of the hono benchmark which runs on nodejs. It shows that if you GET the index page it returns nothing, if you GET the '/user/:id' route it returns just the id, and if you POST to the '/user' route it also returns nothing.

an empty space and also get out an id with a router, I would expect a language with "incredible performance" to perform a little bit better.

It's not that these numbers are bad or anything, and I have absolutely nothing against the developers of either framework, nor do I think that these

Table, showing different frameworks. In order: axum 0.8 (rust) - 125217 requests per second. hono 4.7 (node) - 68382 requests per second. fastify 5.3 (node) - 62100 requests per second. vapor 4.114 (swift) - 39601 requests per second. hummingbird 2 (swift) - 34647 requests per second. express 5.1 (node) - 22026 requests per second. sinatra 4.1 (ruby) - 16634 requests per second. rails 8 (ruby) - 10153 requests per second. flask 3.1 (python) - 2028 requests per second. The square highlights the fact the swift frameworks are in the middle of the cherrypicked examples, which shows that while it's not slow at all, it still manages to lose out to nodejs based frameworks.

In addition to this i would like to complain that in synthetic benchmarks[1] all swift frameworks lose out to heck of a lot of other different frameworks even the ones using nodejs.

I understand that these numbers are still pretty good, but considering all this benchmark does is basically return

swilvester binary built with static linux sdk, 176 megabytes in size. image also shows it's not a dynamic executable

swilvester binary built with static linux sdk and stripped, 63 megabytes in size.

If we build the same project with release mode, thin lto and the static linux swift sdk we get a whopping 176 MB binary, (63MB stripped).

Terminal, shows that the binary links to hella shared objects.

terminal output, swilvester binary (sample project), 39 megabytes size of binary while unstripped.

swilvester sample project binary, size is 8.9 megabytes.

Here's a release build with thin lto, without stripping. It links to hella stuff and it's 39MB in size unstripped and 8.9MB stripped (which isn't too bad but it links to a lot of stuff)

Swift source code. ```swift import AsyncHTTPClient import FoundationEssentials let request = HTTPClientRequest(url: "https://example.com") let response = try await HTTPClient.shared.execute(request, timeout: .seconds(5)) let body = try await response.body.collect(upTo: 1024 * 1024) let bodyString = String(buffer: body) print(bodyString) print(UUID().uuidString) ```

It looks pretty nice on paper but the linux story is pretty sad, i tried to make a small, basically hello world executable (had to use AsyncHTTPClient because the one in the std library didn't seem to work with the linux static sdk) and it resulted in huge binaries. Here's the source code:

LIQUID ASS?? MORE LIKE LIQUID SHIT

repeatedly every time you're doing literally anything in the game.

(500 characters is not enough space for literally any kind of semi complex thought AAAAAAAA)

i think that game developers who create popular games should take a look at the mods people make for their games and port some of the ones which improve the game without distorting the vision too much.

Like the lethal company mod which allows you to hold down right click instead of having to do it

It would be nice if this could get out to a wider audience of people, please share this.

Twitch is _not_ slowing down with AI art. Do not let them get more comfortable.

Have fun streaming in the art category! :^)

Clancy is your average creepy CEO, who is trying to extract money out of people, and no amount of PR sanewashing will actually change that.

The use of AI art clearly showcases how much he actually cares. He does not, and absolutely nothing in this post is defensible.

Get him out.

In addition to the weird creepy showoff of his new TWITCH SHORTS (🤢) feature, with his feed consisting mostly of young female streamers, it is obvious that Dan Clancy is an embarrassing CEO and needs to be replaced.

He is not like you, he is not your average streamer, he is not your friend.

This shows a clear issue. Twitch is using AI to generate art. Why?

The first thing the current CEO of Twitch did when he got hired was to fire half of the staff, which might have included artists and anyone who would actually care about this.

Ai generated twitch FOOD AND DRINK poster, stylised as an old US poster showing an orange jelly on a plate with celery sticking in and out, as well as a fork which turns into a sausage, and weird sausages which morph into the jelly.

3. The recent controversy, the new art for the food and drink category, also clearly AI generated. You may notice the orange tint and weird nonsense on the plate if you look closer.

A little bit harder to spot, potentially generated by a smarter model, but still AI.

2. The CatintheChat emote. This is AI generated (classic smoothness + shininess).

twitchcon 2024 san diego badge, showing weird lines and mixels. bad/fake pixel art.

1. First example I can think of, the Twitch Con 2024 San Diego badge.

You may notice the mixels, the bigger problem is the weird random lines no real person would leave. It doesn't align to any kind of grid.

Occam's razor.

I don't have the reach for this but here we go.

Let's point out the fact that twitch is getting _really_ comfortable with using AI to generate art!

They have been doing it, they will continue doing it, allow me to point out some big obvious examples.
