This interview with Amandine Coget (@LiaSae on twitter) is great and touches on many important topics rarely talked about: onboarding, usability, grokking large codebases, backwards compat etc. Good stuff. https://isetta.io/interviews/AmandineCoget-interview/

@shivoa ha, I did not even know it's possible for a company to opt out of that

It took a while, but Terrain system and tooling in Unity is getting some updates ;) https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/10/10/2018-3-terrain-update-getting-started/

This post on code comments by Redis author is great http://antirez.com/news/124

@cybik don’t know TBH

@sinbad .2 to .3 is expected to have more changes. .3 to .4 is where the 3 release becomes “long term support” one; much less changes

@sinbad .3 to .4 has very few, and very carefully vetted/tested changes, by definition

@shivoa this has been an issue with nvidia GL forever too: it just gladly accepts a lot of nonsense, and does “something” with it

I did a talk on Entity Component Systems & Data Oriented Design for junior/future engineers here at Unity (not Unity specific at all). Slides: http://aras-p.info/texts/files/2018Academy%20-%20ECS-DoD.pdf and toy project (C++) for it: https://github.com/aras-p/dod-playground

Me: I'm gonna do a quick talk about entity component systems and data oriented design for junior/future engineers here at work, gonna be fun!

Also me: spends 30 hours preparing said talk.

@mhutch NICE

@mhutch what does the T-shirt say?

Now that looks interesting: Sublime Merge, a new git/merge client from makers of Sublime Text. https://www.sublimemerge.com/

@doppioslash that looks great! Nice work

@sinbad congrats! best of luck

"Using Rust For Game Development" by Catherine West is amazing (and much relevant outside of Rust too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKLntZcp27M
