I'm a just a small town AAA graphics programmer in Chicago. I worked on Gears 5 and Gears Tactics. My work is secret, but my personal projects are not.

I like to post about my personal research, various side projects, and I like to think out loud a lot. Expect weird humor, esoteric ramblings, and occasionally also art I made out of math. I like implicit surface modeling the normal amount. Amateur spoonie. 🏳️‍⚧️

Curses are just blessings with caveats.

3 million iOS and macOS apps were exposed to potent supply-chain attacks

Apps that used code libraries hosted on CocoaPods were vulnerable for about 10 years.

for programmers who use linux:

Do you know how to write packages for your distro's package manager?

aeva OP ,
@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

and a followup for only the people who answer yes on the last poll:

When you write code, how often do you write a package for it for your choice linux distro?

(if this is n/a for you, there's usually a see result link, don't poison the vote please)

aeva OP ,
@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I keep feeling like I'd get more out of nixos if I understood how anything worked, but every time I read documentation the example config files are all written in a completely different way, and they keep finding more kinds of packaging systems in there. It's like if you crossed House of Leaves with American Taxes.

ok linux folks I know this is crazy but hear me out what if we just put each program in the same folder as all of the stuff it needs? like I feel like 99% of the complexity of package management is because everyone agrees that the obvious good thing must be avoided at all costs.

@fasterthanlime it's a funny prank i've left for myself to discover when I wake up tomorrow

My main problem with the idea of magic where you draw transmutation circles and such is that I am certain that if they worked, I'd be able to build a PCB to cast the same spell.
And now you've got a setting where your toaster works by casting tiny fireballs. Do you want that?

@foone yeah the choice of material is important unfortunately, can't just make a spell circle out of whatever and call it a day
