I'm not familiar with whatever strawman you're invoking here. By "everyone" I mean game studio owners. They're desperate to not pay 30% to Valve / Sony / Apple / whatever. The vast…

Having worked in the games industry for long time, everyone is constantly trying in vain to escape the 30% tax.

There’s nothing wrong with them going out of business either, though.

Plenty of games (especially MMOs) have lots of gameplay logic in the server. In many cases that is intertwined with the rest of the intrastructure, like databases, logging, deploym…

Python is worse, but not by all that much. After all, PyPy has been several times faster for many years.

It does actually help. All heat radiated into the aluminium isn’t in the copper, so makes it to the environment. The copper remains cooler overall.

Gmail was free, undercutting has always worked. Amazon does similar. Using market success to excuse poor UX is pointless.

Why would they bother to invade Taiwan when they’re winning economically and diplomatically? Public opinion in Taiwan is rapidly changing towards peaceful re-unification and no one…

The other big problem would be the lack of intelligibility of English written by native speakers from different places.

They’re killing Xbox themselves already, I doubt they care anymore.

All major consoles support keyboard & mouse or similar. The problem is more the audience. Console players generally expect to be able to just connect the console to the TV, sit on …

I was wrong about QUIC, for some reason I was sure I'd read it's little-endian. I'm just pointing out that UDP is an extremely thin wrapper over IP and the preferred way of impleme…

Sure, that helps. But even then, when everyone is trying out a new indie game there’s a chance it won’t work on non-Windows. It’s happened to me.

They don’t care, they’re defunding Xbox and even the Windows team is hollowed out.

If you want to play games with friends, you have to play whatever the group plays. This is especially problematic as the group tries out new games, increasing the chance you can’t …

Oh really? I must’ve misread.

More like it only happened because Sony restricted hardware access under Linux. If they had allowed GPU access, there would have been no motivation to attack the hypervisor.

UDP is an implementation detail of QUIC, just a way to give IP-ish functionality to userspace. In practice, QUIC is a TCP alternative. The OSI layer model is not necessarily as rel…

For example, Cap'n Proto and QUIC are both little endian. TCP is becoming increasingly less relevant, although I don't know if it'll ever actually disappear.

Which will also become a historical artifact as new protocols are made to use little endian.

Yes, that’s exactly the kind of language the Nazis used. You merely further prove my point.

Over 800ms is not even a little fast. I’m on WiFi to ADSL, lights static websites are way faster than that.

Sure, although every distro has a default. systemd/Linux maybe? Lots of things are more significant than GNU, either way.
