Science@beehaw.org•Boeing is getting ready to send astronauts into space with their latest capsule
5·2 years agoWell, to get humans to space today you have either the crew dragon on a SpaceX falcon 9, or a Soyouz.
And relations with Russia are a bit tense nowadays, so if you are not Russian, there are currently no other options than SpaceX.
Kinda looks like a monopoly, with another actor starting to compete (and SpaceX is historically very competitive on prices, so without huge government subsidies, I doubt Boeing would consider maintaining their crewed vehicle)
Ladies, my buddies died face down in the sand so that you and I can enjoy this spice

Gaming@beehaw.org•Mimimi Games revived a genre, pushed it forward, and then shut down
9·2 years agoI’m very sad they are closing shop, but I understand it.
I find their last DLC awfully expensive, but I think I’ll buy them anyway, as I really loved all their games (bought desperados 3 day 1, same for shadow gambit, and no regrets).
Their games were crafted with love, and it shows. If you haven’t, go and try them on, it’s a fun genre.
I started playing because I had nostalgia for the commandos games, but they really refined the gameplay and made the different difficulty modes so everyone can have fun.

12·2 years agoI have a old gaming laptop that is not supported.
Intel i7-7820HK, 4cores 8 threads 2.9Ghz.
Released in 2017.
That’s not old-arse as far as I’m concerned, and I don’t see the need for an upgrade. I’m going to install Linux on this PC because I have the know-how and desire to check out how electron fares. But I can see how that is not an option for everyone.
I don’t think it goes with the vibe of the game, it would disrupt the factory too much
They hint that the drilling awakens something, so I’m guessing different enemy
Regarding “the company made the new tech incompatible with the new tech to force people to buy the new”, I’ll invoke Hanlon’s razor.
I worked for a software company that was bought out by a microscope company, because they realized making a new software from scratch for each microscope was very expensive.
They did not have the know-how to reuse the software.
And yes. They were that bad at software, when they bought us out, colleagues of mine audited the software they were writing for their newest microscope, and it was so bad they threw out the whole thing to start from scratch, with proper software engineering practices.
Also, there is an open source toolkit that is pretty good at reading microscope data called VTK (IIRC it’s developed partly by Zeiss, one of the two main microscope manufacturers).

Programming@programming.dev•I've lately been making my git commit messages with AI
2·2 years agobut it started splitting my commits in chunks
Wait, it can split commits ? I thought you “just” used a LLM to write the messages, but it can also act on the commits ?
How did you achieve this?

3·2 years agoI’m really curious to see examples of commit messages.
And more details on how you achieved it, I’d like to give it a go myself, as some of my coworkers commit messages are less than stellar.
Does it write in the conventional commit formalism ?


You should group your source files by domain, then by feature, e.g. ‘src/foo/model’ and ‘src/foo/exports’.
Is serialization/deserialization the only aim of these structures ? If not, that code should definitely be separated, so as to evolve separately from the structure itself.
If it is the only aim, the code should also be separated, so you can change your serialization type (e.g. from JSON to XML) without impacting the model.
Also you might need another export for compatibility with another software, and you don’t want your model file to grow with the 10 formats you support.
