Brogue was released in 2009 for what it’s worth.

One of the other bidders, like when Yahoo won the bidding in the early 2010s.

Try add it to the Gemfile of a modern Rails project, the dependencies are very out of date and it won’t install.

This is the sort of thing people said about Blender for a long time, and my understanding is that it’s now often used in commercial contexts. Not a given by any means, but it’s hap…

Gonna get even worse once this sort of work is outsourced to language models en masse

Sure, but a lot of studios still maintain and upgrade bespoke game engines to ship projects. All it would really take is a company of decent scale deciding they want to base their …

Treesitter based highlighting can handle nested languages in some cases, maybe that’s available for your editor?

I missed this comment first time around, but I really appreciate this write-up. I apologize for being a bit snide in my original challenge, I'm fairly sensitive to the "why don't y…

Never considered that Memento was a cinematic adaption of Reflections on Trusting Trust.

Can you give any examples of times you’ve easily anticipated X when a whole field of subject matter experts have demonstrably overlooked it?

This has happened a few times to me. First was some downhill skateboarding projects - a bushing recommendation system and a site that allowed me to search all NZ skate shops from o…

I started cycling again a few years ago. I avoided taking the lane while I started, but after being forced into the gutter and nearly side-swiped multiple times, I started regularl…

One step closer to stillsuits

Title of the article is quite misleading given that it’s entirely voluntary for the purposes of a survey, feels like that detail was omitted for clickbait purposes.

ARM Safari is an absurdly energy efficient browser as well. They’ve definitely made some significant missteps over the last few years, mostly around breaking storage APIs and being…

Yeah I though this was about Smash Ultimate and was very confused for a second

LLMs being used for math by programmers or engineers always makes me think of the rocket that blew up because they mixed metric and imperial units. It definitely happens in the wil…

Firefox already used SQLite internally for history as well, I wonder if any other browsers do the same.

Try to get chatgpt to solve a basic math problem using BEDMAS instead of PEMDAS, even with multiple interactions and reminders it still gets incredibly confused.

Ah that makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

STUN servers are only required for NAT punching, they don’t relay traffic. Only TURN servers are used as relays in the event that a direction connection can’t be established.
