It's a neat piece of hardware, but honestly I never wanted to play any of the games. I don't really know for to do discovery for it, and none of the ones I tried stuck for me, honestly, I prefer to emulate games from my…
At some point we will have to stop treating universities as tests to pass, and actually what they claim to be: places to learn. Ultimately it needs to be on the student to want to learn. Obviously this would be easier…
> My Chrome binaries are about 700MB on Mac and 500MB on Windows That's kind-of the point though right? An application that has been say <700 MB for decades, suddenly deciding it'll take a multiple of it's size without…
And actually to add, I've been finding myself going to nixpkgs first for reference on how to build and/or configure packages even outside of nix.
> I work on projects with terrible documentation because somebody pays me to do so or there is a significant potential that I can unlock. I mean, I'd argue there is significant potential, but really, for me it's just…
You know, I used to agree, but what I realized, is I am a software engineer, and I'm used to working in large projects with source-code as the only documentation. And that's what's great about NixOS, you just clone…
It's like most things in software, if you constrain the problem enough, focus on the problems you actually have and make some smart choices early on, it can be a very modest lift on the order of a week or two for a 90%…
Copyright isn't some axiom, but to quote wikipedia: "Copyright laws allow products of creative human activities, such as literary and artistic production, to be preferentially exploited and thus incentivized." It's a…
Been looking into this for a while myself, very cool. It seems .nl has a lot of resources and support for this sort of thing. Any similar resources like coloclue in the San Francisco Bay Area? It seems confusing to find…
I'm actually not sure the Northridge earthquake was cited in the Richter scale, most references I see have it as about a 6.7, which based on the USGS catalog, was it's moment magnitude 6.7 Mw…
Great, so now I need a special editor plugin, and a compatible editor just to be able to properly view code? No wonder why spaces "won"
Yes, this. Which the counter point is either, Don't align things, or use tabs for indentation, and spaces for alignment. And maybe you can enforce no alignment, but that's a hard fight to win. And as far as tabs for…
> Legally perilous maybe, although my non-lawyer brain sees that as fair use, especially if the emulator doesn't let you play the full game. Idk, but it'd be a unique thing on the internet. IANAL, but I think what a lot…
Maybe... But then, having also lived it, upgrading to newer versions of PHP and it's required modules is also not trivial. And it's often not just your language, the cloud vendors have a lot of incentives to get you to…
It is well known. But also not all developers want to/ can afford the risk to tie all their networking services to Steam.
Honestly, it's probably simpler than this, and the root of the problem often comes down to the Cloud Providers to begin with. It's astounding the frequency I get an email from some cloud provider, or mobile app store…
As someone who has firsthand experience: A. The same reason Amazon had/has such a hard time. B. Google lacking the same persistence of Amazon (Consider all the products that are killed) C. Google's hiring process. (They…
Ugh, on both mobile platforms, we have/had multiple popular games that their updates keep breaking, and they keep deprecating SDKs for. And each game is at on a different engine revision so we can't combone the work.…
I'm actually really curious what the experience is like having not more than 10 tabs at a time, like what thing causes you to close a tab? 10 seems sort of wild to me, it's enough that you are clearly not just…
I don't do this, but it appeals to me, as History seems to be pretty spotty, I've a couple of times recently tried to find something in my history, and it ended up as if it was never there.
More importantly, a successful game is likely to need porting to proprietary platforms, with APIs behind restrictive NDAs. Honestly, not great, but that's the world we live in.
Wow, that' sounds like something I'd love to figure out how to setup with my Fastmail... I use Fastmail for my email, but due to... life, I still do all calendaring on Google, and so I often miss events that get sent to…
It just showed up on my youtube on the other commenters video, but maybe it was this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1R6B6_2KOk
I mean, you could do that, it's sort-of a lie though, maybe something better would be using the date of the most recent commit, which would be both more accurate, as far as authorship goes, and actually deterministic..…
I'm sorry, I didn't understand, are you claiming that gamers (perhaps one of the most notoriously toxic communities) are not hostile towards game developers?
