Age of Empires II is very popular but doesn't have multiplayer support on Linux.

Technically maybe, I don't know. But in practice, your bash will use tools like this and break if they are different / missing on a future build host. If using a programming langua…

Does a game "run on Linux" when it has 100% feature parity? 90%? 80%? What are you willing to cut? Some performance? A few graphical effects? Multiplayer? When you look at the deta…

The tools you will call from your bash script differ in subtle ways between Linux, macOS, MinGW. One good example is `uuidgen`

Bash is not a great cross-platform choice. Too many subtle differences. The best way is a scripting language with locked-down dependency spec inside the script. Weirdly .NET is lea…

If you are not willing to make this trade then how much of a priority was run-time performance, really?

Tutorial was pretty confusing to me. I formed "HIM" and it rejected it, no explanation why.

Project 2025 was strongly against active travel, yet increased car dependency is one of the main factors in poor health in the USA.

MonoGame is stable and still receiving updates. I would strongly suggest that for quick code-first prototypes. The boiler-plate of "load a texture and render to screen" is quite mi…

CodeWars has a nice Kata grading system that features many intermediate level problems.

> The real answer to all this is to use a provider that supports idempotency keys. Then when you can retry the action repeatedly without it actually happening again. My favorite ar…

Is the real Mark Shinwell on here? https://github.com/mshinwell

Buck 1 used Python directly and it had lots of issues compared to Starlark.

There are. The rhetorical strategy is to argue that Brexit was a good idea, but it has not been implemented properly. Look for the phrases "Brexit means Brexit" and "proper Brexit"…

How would you measure these? - making associations - generating original ideas - more perceptive ... "spatial awareness" I can see though

This is how Debezium works. It is probably best to use that unless there is a strong reason against.

The EA / Rationalist / AI Safety crowd tend to think they can overcome these impulses

Smaller is better, of course, but I've never found the size of .NET binaries to be an issue. What problems does this cause?

> dotnet requiring a CLR is not particularly well-suited for containerization Why? I routinely put compiled .NET programs into containers. It's also easy (easier than Rust even) to…

I am talking about C# / F# context where the lists must have homogeneous types. That TypeScript supports this is yet more complexity introduced to cover usages of an API not design…

Here `a` and `b` can have different types: let! a = fetchA() and! b = fetchB() Whereas `Promise.all` usually requires all promises to have the same type (returning a `List ` or eve…

What are the cross-stack gains of Python? Running TypeScript on the server is a well trodden path. It can be pretty fast too. Python on the client, not so much.

This isn't true, because more is not always better. C# has lots of anti-features that F# does not have.

Applicative Computation Expressions are a big deal (added in F# 5). Recent changes have been smaller in scope. Unfortunately lots of the more advanced stuff seems to be blocked on …

F# is a practical choice but the language features are quite far behind OCaml now. {Ecosystem, Functors} - choose 1
