They also wanted "without loss of performance" (compared to C, I think, based on the context), which also has tension with the other requirements. I don't think it's possible to ma…

Cities: Skylines was sort of a follow-up to Cities In Motion, which was entirely about transportation, so that's a very essential part of its DNA.

Game dev in general is that way, but my impression was that Colossal Order had traditionally been a little better than most. I suppose I may have been mistaken.

They let you return the game no questions asked if you haven't played it for two hours.

Using web tech for the UI isn't a problem here. The article, when measuring the performance impact of different rendering phases, describes the time the UI requires as "an irreleva…

Humans actually need to eat more than for-profit companies do.

I'm not gonna post my employer's proprietary code into ChatGPT.

AGPL is almost exactly the same as GPL except that SAAS counts as distribution. That's the entire purpose of the license — to preserve the copyleft protections of the GPL in a worl…

What of it, though? I noticed, but didn't think much of it because pseudocode doesn't need to be valid and usually isn't. What is the problem with these syntax errors that you are …

Literally any new technology could be the plot to a sci-fi horror movie. The entire concept of the genre is to show how progress could go awry.

Agglutinative languages say hi.

I think that's more a peculiarity of Russian than a necessary quality of flexible sentence order. For example, many deviations from the standard sentence order in Japanese can stil…

That's not really here or there. Owning a house does not make it legal to, for example, use it as a brothel. We could just as well say that owning a house does not make it legal to…

He linked to the White House website. The occupant of the White House at the time was George W. Bush. I am not even trying to be charitable, that's just the most likely reading to …

The Bush Administration did not do any of those things. Reading his comments as a dismissal of those things, rather than the guy running the White House when he wrote it, seems unc…

I don't see them drawing any distinctions from C++ or Rust there either. It really sounds to me like most of their low-level experience is in C, where the contrasts they appear to …

Why do you think that? To the extent that a correlation exists between the level of social benefits offered by a country and the amount of horrors committed by its government, I wo…

To be clear, Twitter also shares the list of users who like a post, and people generally seem to view this as a good feature rather than an invasive one, so it makes sense that Mas…

In the same sense that Google didn't largely kill off the RSS ecosystem with Google Reader and Microsoft didn't stagnate the browser ecosystem for a decade with Internet Explorer, …

What does any of what you just said have to do with GDPR requirements?

The only entity that could realistically tell us how Meta linked the profile to that person's real name is Meta, and they aren't likely to share that information — so it's not exac…

There are absolutely people who go into B2B data integration startups with the belief that they are providing a useful service to their customers. Do you really doubt that?
