I'm aware that people are slowly grouping up to one specific community per topic but I don't think this means there isn't an issue with communities being fractured. Using a third party tool to gauge which communities are popular also isn't a great solution. Just searching Linux shows:
I don't think each one of these communities has a different audience. It's the same audience, but there isn't an obvious answer for which one to visit or post in.
I still can't understand why Google keeps hyping up Bard and then releasing it at a poor state just to ruin their reputation. First, we had:
Bard 1, which was hyped up to be the ChatGPT successor. It turned out to be really bad.
Bard 2.0, a massive update that was hyped up to make Bard so much better. It turned out to still be pretty bad (but in fairness it was a minor improvement).
Google Gemini, their massive response to GPT 4 that was, on paper, the best LLM in the world. They finally integrated it into Bard last month and... It's still not great. I could not tell an immediate difference between this and the old Bard. Oh, and the videos they used to advertise Gemini Ultra were fake.
I'm not going to armchair analyze a hugely successful company, but from my point of view it really shows how mismanaged Google has been in the past decade. Failed projects upon cancelled projects upon increasingly frustrated employees.
/rant. Anyways, you should consider using Perplexity if you want something with search capabilities, I've had decent success there. Claude is also significantly better than Bard, but they made free usage very limited lately. Might be a good option if you're willing to pay.
I did not know, thanks for the heads up - and interesting read.
Anyone using V can speak on how the language has been? I've tried it two years ago and it felt like it was in a very early state but things seem to be moving way faster now. Worth giving another shot?
I can only speak from my own experience but the remote gamedev market seems harsh right now. Constant layoffs means the market is flooded with talent and juniors are struggling to break into the field. When I was still in college I'd see a couple of internship opportunities and junior job posts but they seem to be disappearing. Why hire a newbie when there are 50 seniors desperate for a job?
Investors are still trying to make web3 happen. Maybe about half the remote job posts utilizing Godot seem to be for some NFT/crypto game. That may just be because few people are applying, though.
I would hope things get better but nobody really knows where the trend is going. For now, I'm getting pretty comfy with freelancing and just working on a contract basis.
I just saw it! Wild stuff!
And that title will make a lot of people really mad haha, he did clarify it wasn't a real OS but boy are the comments rolling in anyways.
Competitions where individuals or teams try to solve complex programming problems as fast as possible. Websites like Codeforces even have weekly online competitions and leaderboards. It's great for learning problem solving.
I've reached a point where I avoid these types of updates. An update post like that either means nothing important changed or they're up to something.
A while ago I saw that style of patch notes, updated an app, and suddenly I can't use it anymore because it got limited to a maximum of 2 devices. Another time I updated an app putting a harmless "we improved the user experience" message, they put dark mode behind a paywall. This isn't counting the number of times an app got redesigned to make the user experience worse for no reason. Maybe they wanted to justify hiring 5 UI/UX interns in that quarter or something.
The patch notes look harmless, but my god, they are usually up to something.
This is really cool. Languages that are tiny and portable are always neat, this reminds me of Lua in that regard.
LISP-style languages are not for me though. I always find them a bit hard to write or read. Also, parenthesis everywhere.

Good luck on your project!
I talked about it a bit in the other thread: https://programming.dev/comment/6456245
Not all features are well-supported and the project will likely have breaking changes moving forward. There are also seems to be a lot of smaller annoyances that makes me not recommend using it yet.
Obsessive and narcissistic because there are many duplicate communities and it's frustrating to try and find out which ones to use? Okay...
It just sounds like you didn't read the post and made up a narrative in your head about what it's about.
