We bought this bird sculpture from PNW artist Gunter Reimnitz. I added the wintry accents.

I'm developing in Unity on Ubuntu. I need to make a video screencast of my game in play (including my voiceover). What's the easiest way to do this?

@funnymonkey If you want to support unions but have trouble keeping track of the strikes, Picket Line Notifier is a browser plugin that can help.

You remember that time I boosted your post? Well, now I need a favor.

@futurebird There's a fine line between insects and integrated circuits.

If you want to know how the #COP28 UN Climate Change Conference is going, this post says it all...

@lucifargundam I remember hearing a story about this, but I don't have any inside dirt.

It's a matter of time before someone actually does this (or uses an aerial drone).

Imagine how productive you'd be if you deleted ALL of your code!

TIL Discord supports markdown, so you can do:

```python
print('snek')
```

Google Docs also supports this; a box pops up if you type ``` on a line by itself.

The resolution: Unity physics are unreliable on FixedUpdate 0. Now I just don't activate the colliders until the second frame and that seems to fix the problem.

@wrstscrnnm6 I'm using the third party TopDown Engine to do that, so I don't know exactly how it works. Conversing with the creators on their Discord now...

Weird bug:

I have a trigger zone that causes damage to the player when they touch it. Everything works perfectly, except that I get one frame of damaging collision when I load a particular level. This only happens when I load this level from a previous level, not when I run it directly.

Here's what's really weird: when I look at the stack trace, the zone has transform pos: (-0.100000001, 0, -0.5) rot: eulerAngles: (-0, 0, 0) scale: (10, 1, 10), while the colliding player has transform pos: (20, 0.560276091, -20) rot: eulerAngles: (-0, 0, 0) scale: (1, 1, 1). How are these two colliding?

A helpful terminal command I learned only recently is !$

Let's say you just ran
mkdir /usr/share/some/shit/IMadeUp/

and now you want to go there without typing it all again.
You'd use

cd !$
