Dwarf Fortress is essentially reverse engineered with a third-party tool called dfhack. It hooks into the program and all of the mods and graphical tools use it as a middleman.
The minute that happens the more accessible community version with polished graphics and interface will become the dominant one. Only dilettantes will play the original. The problem is he has zero motive to do so. His…
In this thread a bunch of weirdos from San Francisco decide that your children don't really need computers. Only the elite priesthood that consists of them is eligible. Maybe you can pick up some docker tips.
You're welcome to read more into my reply and usunderstand my point. I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with autism.
That sounds like a terrible model and I'm glad you don't have children
Well it's probably for the best that hacker news is not in charge of teaching our children. They'd be learning go or rust or JavaScript instead of how to read books.
The teachers and admins should not be the people administering equipment...
There are many iPad MDM solutions to that problem. Apple s App Store can be disabled and replaced with a custom one, for example.
The idea is that you're no longer constrained by planning around the use of a shared computer lab space. Instead, any activities that benefit from computer use can be used immediately. You don't have a "pencil and…
Education and a 1:1 program are vastly different usage models. You're not going to be able to take a Rasperry Pi, a monitor keyboard and mouse home with you in your backpack to do your homework on.
He's not talking about creating a commercial venture that would necessitate thousands of devices. He's talking about an in-house project on the scale of dozens. Would contacting them directly get me that quantity at…
raises the question
The first step is finding something that you can "curate" that hasn't been "curated" yet. It's all the rage these days.
Why "sad," and not homage?
It seems unkind to conflate the current business model of the company and the employees. Many people serve lifelong careers in the postal service honorably.
Well, it's also a paid cloud service that hosts your data.
We just switched from Github to Gitlab for our private repos. The choice (based upon cost alone) was between them and Bitbucket, and the professional way that this was handled and the transparent communication was…
Only if they look like cool cyberpunk googles.
I think you're taking this too personally. The burden of proof is on you, the person suggesting a new idea to support it somehow. You're asking other people to do the work involved which is not fair to them.
What are you proposing as an alternative to a button? Gestures? Voice commands?
I call this "the Dwarf Fortress UI paradigm." Yes, it's very fast to someone experienced with it. Yes, the learning curve is incredible. No, it will never change because the stakeholder (ie. the developer) is happy with…
On what are you basing that? I'm sure they've also read Jurassic Park.
I was not aware the app did that. I'm a little disappointed in the service to learn about this.
What browser you're using is not always a choice, or your choice is limited. In the workplace many users do not have local admin or the ability to install arbitrary browsers.
Haha, Verizon owns America Online as well. Perhaps they're going to collect all relics of the 90's internet into some kind of Voltron monster.
