I was just thinking that we were overdue for a Fil-C post on HN.

I never said father issues. If you want to frame it like that, mother issues would be more accurate. The story is that Skynet is trying to defend its existence by killing John Conn…

Of course. How else are you going to milk a franchise?

Not exactly. Terminator Salvation didn't have time travel.

Since no one is talking about it: T2 isn’t about machines taking over the world. That has happened (or will happen). But humans eventually defeat the machines. Skynet is trying to …

Parents have the ability to take any phone or pad out of their hands.

You really can't merge binary data, such as textures, meshes, audio, etc. It doesn't matter if you base64 encode the data and stuff it in a text file: it's a jumble of data (assumi…

A couple of holdouts? Hardly. Capcom uses the RE Engine. Released ~4 games with it in the past three years. In fact, SF6 went from UE to RE Engine. Death Stranding 2 is Decima. Id …

Lack of sufficient tooling support was my issue. Debugging and autocomplete was a flaky mess in VSC. The plugin for VS pro wasn’t much better. I did not like DUB at all. Its defaul…

I found the lack of mature tooling to be hugely problematic. The Visual D extension always felt flimsy and unreliable when debugging D. DUB also exhibits weird behavior. For exampl…

They are there.

You and me both! I thought this thread would have a bit more praise for Jeff's work after all of these years, but it's just a bunch of Debbie Downers taking a collective dump on it…
