I am playing with the NaturalLanguage framework in #Swift and I am having some interesting results. Here are the most similar words to the word „Dictatorship”. The left column are the words, the right is the distance. The more distant, the less similar the word is.

dictator 0.7791867852210999
autocracy 0.7871801853179932
dictatorial 0.7904724478721619

despotism 0.8681145310401917
despot 0.8691430687904358
Here is the code I used.
import NaturalLanguage
guard let embedding = NLEmbedding.wordEmbedding(for: .english) else {
print("Nic z tego nie będzie.")
fatalError()
}
let words = embedding.neighbors(for: "dictatorship", maximumCount: 10)
for word in words {

Lessons learned after 3 years of fulltime Rust game development, and why we're leaving Rust behind

A part of #Rustlang that doesn't get mentioned but is a ridiculous quality of life boon:

dbg!()

Just #[derive(Debug)] on a struct and print it. Suddenly you get insight into what's going on. Very rarely do you need to write your own print.

Insert a dbg in the middle of anything

let diffi = debug!(diffs).iter();

and you get a message with line number and the name of variable:

[src/lib.rs:192:19] diffs = [16, 86, 11]

Not even #Python has that!

Rust web frameworks have subpar error reporting

None of the major Rust web frameworks have a great error reporting story. We try to implement robust error logging with both axum and Actix Web and then compare the results with Pavex, an upcoming Rust web framework.

This should be the default in #git

[branch] sort = -committerdate

Adding it to your git config will make the command `git branch` sort by last used branches instead of alphabetical. No more trying to remember what I called that last branch!

So I've been working with GTK4/Libadwaita in Python (in Flatpak), and I'm trying to get notifications to work.

I keep getting this error: "gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached (24)"

Am I missing Flatpak overrides? (Docs seem to say no https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/portals.html )

Am I doing this wrong? (Code at https://github.com/TheKrafter/Groupings/blob/rewrite/src/groupings/internal/push.py#L31 )

It might be a bad idea! Please let me know what you think.

#Yaga #mod for the #Gothic #game status update.
Recently the Open Gothic reimplementation of the ZenGin engine became quiet stable which let me to wonder whether it wouldn’t be easier to port YAGA to this engine, instead of relying on the Union SDK which is basically a set of reverse-engineered classes of the original ZenGin engine. This way, we get macOS compatibility, future-proof support for future Windows releases, ETC. That means a lot of Yaga’s code base would have to be rewritten from scratch, but that’s with the benefit.
Tell me what you guys think, and let’s comment on this issue if you have some valuable insights
