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, hone…

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 …

> 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 It'd be similarly unreasonable for a video …

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 pot…

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…

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 o…

Except not in the USA. To bad the rings looks nice.

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 expl…

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 Francis…

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 magni…

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 f…

> 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 …

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 …

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…

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 ki…

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 re…

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 …

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 nev…

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 …

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 authors…
