First load extremely slow due to metal shader compliation (MTLCompilerService) · Issue #106757 · godotengine/godot Tested versions Reproducible on v4.4.1-stable with Metal rendering System information Godot v4.4.1.stable - macOS Sequoia (15.3.1) - Multi-window, 1 monitor - Metal (Forward+) - integrated Apple M1...

Is it normal for #Godot games on Metal to beachball if the shader cache is empty for 60-90s? My game is currently doing it even on the most powerful macs and I'm curious if I've done something wrong. see: github.com/godotengine/...

Strong recommend: The Race for Space album by Public Service Broadcasting. It's a mixture of electronic music and historical clips from the space race. It's great to pump you up and I found it even more impactful given Artemis II. Start with "Go!"

There's a reason I try to make sure my games run well on 10 year old laptops. People are making their hardware last a lot longer because of inflation, tarrifs and RAM shortages.

One of the most stressful things I've had to deal with as an adult is my elderly father getting sick and needing serious help. This entire year has been a huge ball of stress as I figure out how to get him into a nursing home. I'm about to move in with him to provide care for a couple weeks.

I upgraded my home Internet to 8Gbps. It's literally crazy that it's 8000x faster than my first cable modem was, which I thought was the fastest thing ever at the time!

It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

I've had a homelab of some kind running for at least a decade, and it's a super fun and educational hobby. My latest local install is paperless-ngx. It indexes all my PDFs (even doing OCR if necessary) and lets me search them super quick. Previously I'd search gmail for stuff which sucked.

I got a MacBook Neo because I think they'll sell like hotcakes and I wanted to make sure The Roottrees are Dead and The Incident at Galley House run well on it. It seems they do smoothly out of the box! It only has 8GB but it's honestly no slouch.
