Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy's hints).

It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling.

v3 adds support for cargo-nextest, plus some QoL improvements.

v3.0.0 release notes

After seeing people use the @jetbrains UI to commit to git I understand where all those - sorry: shitty - commit messages come from....

🙈

An improvement would already be to have a "Subject" line and the text box.

And have the subject line follow the Beams Rule.

Sonthat the first line of the commit message finishes the sentence

"When this commit is applied it will..."

And please: No longer than 56(?) characters (Unicode). Keep it short. You got the textbox to explain *why* in full length.

Clothes dirty, code clean!

Everyone has probably already seen this, it's worth posting anyway.

As reported by Bloomberg Law, the class action complaint accuses the Assassin’s Creed publisher of sharing personally identifiable information (PII) with Facebook company Meta.

According to the complaint, players who use the Ubisoft website to buy a game on the Ubisoft Store or use it to subscribe to Ubisoft+ are having their PII sent to Meta through its Pixel user tracking software.

“Defendant does not disclose on the website that PII users’ personally identifying information would be captured by the Meta Platforms, Inc tracking Pixel utilised by defendant, and then transferred to Meta, thereby exposing the subscribers’ PII to any person of ordinary technical skill who received that data,” the complaint reads.

There's been surprisingly little fanfare for this but I guess most of the Godot community are hobbyists anyways.

According to the latest figures, most chip makers are seeing a recovery from the recent slump. Most regions have seen modest to remarkable rebounds compared to last year, with only the EU seeing a slowdown. These could be signs of a strong rebound thanks to cloud, AI, and auto-tech investments.

Many of us get a sense of warm nostalgia when it comes to the PSP. Released in 2004, this portable console was a real breakthrough for its time. It introduced us to the possibility of enjoying full-fledged game projects on the go. It was incredibly groundbreaking at the time. As if you had a little piece of home console in your pocket.

Always on the grind

A teased follow-up project will hopefully attract more than just six pledges.

Hi,

I am looking for a remote senior software engineer position. Most of my career I have been using connections to move from one job to another but this time I haven't had the luck, so I am mostly blindly applying through LinkedIn.

I know the general tips but I would like to get some more specific tips to improve my chances.

How can I make my CV stand out? I feel I am getting rejected by positions that are way below my qualifications. I have wondered if I should be updating my CV according to the stack of the position I am applying for. Throughout my career I have focused on building transfarable skills and as a result I have worked with a wide variety of technologies and it feels like I am being penalized for that.

Are there any job boards that may be better than LinkedIn? I am tired of skimming through ads about fintech and AI positions. I am not interested in those and I would prefer to work somewhere that I genuinely I am contributing something in the world. Also, I would be interested on job boards on the Fediverse, especially if it meant that my resume is read by humans and not machines.

How can I avoid time wasters? I had applied to Canonical, after 8 interviews and a bunch of offline steps, I was rejected. While the interviews were fun, I feel I have wasted a lot of time and energy for a someone that was not genuinely interested in hiring.

Anything else I should be paying attention to?

Linus Torvalds expressed frustration over the use of passive voice in merge commit messages, preferring active and imperative language instead.

He provided an example of how commit messages should be rewritten for clarity and consistency across the project.

Torvalds noted that while it's not a major issue, it does add extra work when he has to rewrite messages to match his preference.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the second part of the tutorial, where we create a space sky shader in Godot 4. In the previous video, we made a skybox with a generated sun that illuminates half of the surface of a rotating red planet. This time, we'll continue by adding clouds above the planet's surface, and finally, a moon that will orbit it and cast a shadow.

I've wondered about this game engine for a while. Based on CryEngine, it sounds like it should have pretty stellar graphics for an open source engine. There doesn't seem to be much of a community around it though.

I have been using a plugin recently in Rider that basically hooks most features of the app to notifications that teach me the current keyboard shortcut for said feature. It has some customization options such as needing a threshold of usages before prompting, reminders, etc. It’s even gamified a little bit by tracking how many times you successfully used the shortcuts and how much time you estimatedly saved.

I really like this plugin and I’m wondering if anyone knows of a similar plugin for NeoVim? I have been exclusively using NeoVim at home for terminal file edits to help learn it and I’m getting better slowly but I just figured maybe I could accelerate this with something helpful like that.

If this doesn’t exist, does anyone have any offhand resources for getting started with NeoVim plugin development?
