GitHub - orangeduck/GenoViewPython: An example raylib python application for viewing animation on the Geno character An example raylib python application for viewing animation on the Geno character - GitHub - orangeduck/GenoViewPython: An example raylib python application for viewing animation on the Geno character

I've just pushed up a version of my GenoView project but implemented in Python (using raylib bindings). Hopefully that is useful to anyone doing ML research building interactive animation systems who wants to make use of PyTorch, Numpy, etc.

Unreal 5: What's the most practical way to test (locally) how long a build takes to build shaders on first run?

Any caveas using symlinks on Windows?

Context: In the Skribidi project, I have a set of assets that the example needs (fonts, etc). Currently they are copied to the bin folder in windows, and symlink on other systems. I wonder if there's something with Windows symlinks that will say meh?

Now for every start of (in my example of calc.exe) a window will open and ask you if you want to debug it in a new VS instance or a running one. and you get all loader information.

Bit confusing: when entering the name of the executable in "image" you need to press the Tab-key to load current info

I like the ability to automatically attach a debugger.

Specify "vsjitdebugger.exe" in Debugger.
This is broken on Win11 and you need to create a registry string key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\Auto and set it's value to "1" to make it work

There is some documentation about it here

minimal (and not really useful) about the loader snaps: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

Using gflags I'm trying to set "Show Loader Snaps" system wide in order to see verbose logs when dll's are loaded by Visual Studio, but I don't see any additional logs in the Output Console. 'WindowsProject1.exe' ...

Depending on how much priority getting it to run has for you - you could try enabling "show loader snaps" with gflags. It can show what the image loader is doing and which DLLs it's trying to load. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answer...

Here's a fly-by with the new trees. The fact that they cast/receive shadows even in the distance makes a huge difference compared to the old Unity billboard ones, which destroyed the sense of depth in the distance.

Compiler Explorer Cost Transparency โ€” Matt Godboltโ€™s blog In which I try and show how we spend your kind Patreon donations

I'm frequently asked "how much does @compiler-explorer.com cost to run". I've done some digging and posted xania.org/202506/compi... which is a high-level breakdown of the costs (and revenue); and links to a more in depth report if you want all the gory details.

One of my favourite dev stories is from about eight years and two jobs ago, when our Xbox tests would just fail randomly and without any useful error messages. Turned out the issue was the Xbox dev kits were in a stack under someoneโ€™s desk and every so often heโ€™d kick them by mistake

Very excited that Havok is sponsoring the 2025 AI and Games conference!
It's hands down the best event in Europe for people in Game AI/NPC behavior/navigation.

Looking forward to see everyone there in November!
