• They put the name there so you can easily Google it. If you had any intention you could find Lambert shading on Wikipedia real quick, that’s usually enough for a conversation between people that’s not a scientific paper.

  I have no scientific footnotes for these statements I just made, don’t even ask.

• But why do they not simply build an engine with all the good stuff, and don’t do any of the bad stuff? Checkmate atheists

• They did that?

  Which is why the “nuh uh wrong” is now a new statement that needs to have some foundation to be worth anything. Cmon this ain’t rocket science

• Good intentions maybe, but from the outside it looks like you jumped on a post about bad things happening elsewhere, that had nothing to do with America, and tried to use it to make yourself feel better about your decidedly worse situation.

  Pointing fingers at America with a “look what it gets you” was/is actually a nice damper on right wing sentiment, probably everywhere. It didn’t solve it (evidently), but it’s a prime example, happening in real time.

  That finger is deserved. Take that finger, and let it hurt you. Because going for the “see, America isn’t special, it’s just as bad as other places” is how YOU fail.

• What are you even talking about.

  Of course the Netherlands needs to fight this, but that doesn’t mean American exceptionalism suddenly stopped. Now that more people realize that it’s not “especially good”, but a different kind of “special” entirely, some don’t want to identify with that anymore - but that’s doesn’t mean it’s gone.

  “What’s wrong with you people” to these Dutchmen, sure. But don’t pretend that’s not absolutely DWARFED by the same statement aimed at the country lead by an openly stupid, official pedophile rapist, which has gone back to lynching black people and has the secret police shoot people for protesting.

  You WISH you had the “bad” were talking about here, because of how much of an improvement it would be.

• I can’t help but notice the generality statements like “I lament not being able to put into words exactly what I mean” and “why also copy the awful parts?”.

  Do you know “Chesterton’s fence”? It’s the metaphor that you walk across a meadow and come upon a fence that’s in the way. That’s bothersome for you from walking there, so you want it gone.

  But, the lesson supposed to be that if you don’t know why it’s even there, you shouldn’t remove it until you learn why. Might be that there are sheep there that need to be kept from running away or something like that, etc.

• Not a problem, ignore the edgelording, you’ll be fine.

  A lot of people don’t understand that readability is about how fast someone can correctly understand that whole class/file/etc afterwards. Sometimes using enums improves that, sometimes not.

  For enums specifically, it is good to be aware what you do with them. Often it directly maps to a decision. E.g. enum ExportType with values JSON/XML/CSV - instead of passing an enum value to a big function with 3 different paths, you could have 3 classes that have a common interface, and pass one of those to the function to use. That is nicer sometimes, other times not.

  Another thing is that enums are often used to have a small INT DB column, which is not supposed to represent a number (like for math and stuff) but different options. In that case, yeah enum is perfect to describe in code what those numbers actually mean.

  But yeah, it all comes down to: After you write it, look at your code and see if it makes sense quickly - if not, adjust.

• Yeah but that’s just edgelord behaviour.

  You get those a lot with all kinds of programming languages, and Rust is certainly not know for having less of them.

• Well, “AI” in games was always behavior, rather than having anything to do with AI. It was just marketing.

  And even then, artificial stupidity is usually more accurate than AI. FPS bots could easily headshot you immediately on sight but like, what good is that. It’s literally more work to make them worse at the game.

  on Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis' in c/games@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026

• Nah the word process ain’t weird there. Render process is the name of the activity that has been done there, and you wouldn’t say “redraw process” or “paint over process”.

  I mean, I look a the second step and be like nah that’s AI, I ain’t risking it - just talking about the word “process” specifically.

  I’d honestly expect them to make 4 AI images and then set up this up together the normal way, instead of trying to get the prompts right for one image with 4 different styles at once. Then again, I don’t assume to know enough to be sure about that.

• I would give this kind-of-opposite answer, if otherwise my answer would be far, far longer.

  If someone asks which ice cream flavours you like and you can just say “Raspberry I don’t like, that’s it”, no need to go through hundreds of options.
