This is a slam dunk for free software. Even Oracle can't deny the benefits.

More precisely, it's not the standardized testing that's hurting, it's the underlying material conditions.

I expected Google Ultron

Why not just make Windows 10 better and have that be the last OS

Proton is amazing. I have no other words, it's just amazing.

Honestly at this point I am curious to see how far Microsoft can degrade the experience before its users discover the concept of self-agency.

Interesting. Would the differences in binary sizes be prohibitive for use on the internet?

For 99% of us that's just an implementation detail anyway. Although I remember reading that Firefox can compile wasm faster than normal network transfer rates so maybe AOT makes mo…

I didn't expect my descriptions to be included verbatim hahaha

I thought Planetary Annihilation was a spiritual successor to both TA and SC

I have two suggestions : TerraTech ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/285920/TerraTech/ ) for the vehicle building category. Very streamlined and surprisingly deep, although the …

Fantastic post. Your logic is a perfectly hermetic circle. I'm sure the OP can competently explain all of these things. What they can't do is justify them, or reconcile them with t…

I have one major objection. It's easy to forget, due to the vast wealth of genuinely great volunteer-driven projects out there, that an overwhelming share of open source contributi…

I've noticed that a lot of industry practices demonstrate their value in unexpected ways. Code tests, for instance, train you to think of every piece of code you write as having at…

That's probably the best heuristic for finding quality stories nowadays. The publishers and their readership are stuck in a taste-affirming feedback loop and it seems most of the b…

Over the years I've seen so many variations of this. "u mad", "triggered", "seethe", "rent free", etc. I don't know why the internet insists on deriding anyone that reacts strongly…

More or less. It has precisely zero selling points other than "this software vendor I rely on doesn't support anything else".

Cheap bad faith answer

> They did get the credit, just not for the code, and rightly so. They received credit for reporting the issue, which is a fraction of what they did. They provided the entire solut…

That's a 40mb runtime that's probably already on your system

Pragmatic genius

I resent how much we've trained developers to value concision over everything else. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people use DRY as a justification to alias stuff that'…

Scrum gives me the same impression as liberal economics. An intellectual tradition centered around quantifying things that can't reliably be quantified, as well as projecting incom…

Oh, the memories. There was a guy in my RuneScape clan who was known for doing exactly that. Walked me through setting up a vHost and bouncer on a shell account at one time so that…

That third point is so odd and shoehorned in. If you're talking about AGI and immortality, why not dream a little bigger? How about achieving actual democracy anywhere in the world…
