Source2 is the giant legacy codebase I was referring to.

I don't understand what they got basing off the Source engine. Maybe it made sense when they started 6 years ago - to allow using Hammer and such. But at this point they've made th…

A multiplayer survival game based around voxel physics. Can be described as Astroneer-like setting, Teardown voxel physics, in a Valheim-like online multiplayer survival game. Game…

Been arguing for this for years now https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33415400 The main argument against it seems to be that a browser forces standards - while really the the st…

I Expect You To Die, Among Us VR, Until You Fall. All good stuff

There is zero chance this is what you meant, but I wrote a short story with that concept in 2013: https://www.3delement.com/?p=309 Did you end up finding what you were referring to…

It's amazing to me how little moderation they do for Ad content. My Instagram ads are constant crypto scams. Maybe there just isn't the same incentives to moderate companies paying…

Yeah - there really is a opportunity now to rethink browsers as just sandboxed rendering windows using WebAssembly + WebGPU. Could still have typical DOM rendering handled with Web…

No - this is the graph: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GO1eps3WgAEzQYa?format=jpg&name=... Immigration is the only thing providing GDP growth. Otherwise the Canadian economy is clearl…

Blaming 'corporate greed' is a easy thing for politicians to do. It's then not their actions that are causing prices to go up. Easy to point at things like 'record profits' of Lobl…

Git LFS is a giant hack ontop of Git. Most game devs I know moved away from it over time (back to Perforce or SVN). It might seem okay at first - but deep into a project you'll wan…

As a side note, it's funny to call criticism of the governments overreaching bill 'bootlicking'. If there is one boot you should be afraid of stomping on your face it's the governm…

You said you 'didn't know enough about it' to defend it, not that you didn't care, and yet still can say confidently "There is no scenario where C-18 has any relevance to this". Th…

By saying 'regulatory uncertainty', they are saying the uncertainty of C-18 applying to Bard. Very very clearly. It's a legal risk to them right now. And yet you, who also just sai…

How can you so confidently say C-18 has no relevance to this - then in the same comment say you don't know enough about the law to comment on it? If you don't understand C-18 that'…

"if they scrape and present their content" - and you don't think this is relevant to Bard? It's less them 'punishing' Canada, and more being uncertain how these insane linking laws…

Love this idea, been waiting for you to ship to Canada and now finally purchased :) Currently your Android app isn't available in Canada yet though

Problem with this idea is moderation - Google is not going to moderate a discussion that is happening in the side bar of your site. What is love to see, and tried to make once, is …

This is a rule developers are just finding out now from a game getting rejected. Pretty major deal if multi-million dollar budget games like High On Life should now be banned (even…

There are already successful Steam games known to have used AI art. And this is only in the cases of the developers publicly admitting that. High On Life used Midjourney for it's i…
