    Thanks for sharing this. I was just commenting about the challenge of making a fun elevator sim game. This looks great -- can't wait to play with it this weekend!

    This is absolute catnip to me. Fantastic job to the author! It really scratches the itch of wanting to understand elevator dispatch algos! I want something similar for advanced sen…

    Valid point! For me, the FSR3 -> FSR4 was such a big boon of performance and graphics quality it made GE Proton (with the PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 flag) the easy choice for most games…

    For those curious, Proton is included with Steam, but GE's Proton includes many tweaks, improvements, and yes, rebasing on the latest upstream versions of many packages. For many g…

    Please keep at it! Doing what GitHub did for Git is a real opportunity I think for Nix. We'll be keeping an eye on Determinate's work...

    I appreciate someone from the project commenting here. I left Nix because it just has too many warts, and unfortunately, they've only increased over time, which is the opposite of …

    To me, these RTOs are nothing but silent layoffs. Their best and probably most expensive talent, who have the skills to land remote gigs, will depart. Amazon's smart enough to know…

    This game is a lot of fun. Highly recommended if you like destructible environments and puzzle solving.

    If you're interested in running SteamOS on a Linux PC, I'd recommend: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso

    It’s a bummer indeed, but more an issue of iOS not supporting 3rd party search engines without a wonky extension.

    I totally agree. I love and hate Nix every day that I use it. I hope that someday they'll make it more user friendly, but I suspect it'll be someone else with a new approach.

    The irony here is that Dbrand used to taunt Sony to sue them for making nearly identical, but black instead of white "fins" for the PlayStation 5. I believe they had to end up chan…

    I have a similar address. I’m sure you can guess. It’s insane how much daily mail I get that isn’t for me. I get completed contracts, credit card statements, you name it. One thing…

    Sometimes the creativity and passion of a child can just completely shake up the doldrums of being an adult! Thanks for sharing this.

    This, and Roboto Mono, are my two desert island monospace typefaces. Are you allowed to have two desert island mono typefaces? I don't think I could could choose between them.

    I found this on their FAQ: "There have been some problems with downloading .zip files from Safari. The download is tested to work in Chrome and FireFox."

    I used to go to this machine a lot in high school, and certainly drove past it a lot too; it was located pretty centrally in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. More than 20 …

    One feature request please: add an option to open links immediately in Safari (which has my preferred web extensions installed).

    I love that you quoted “slow is smooth and smooth is fast” -- I learned it as a volunteer firefighter! It's a great saying, and can be applied to just about anything.

    Plumbing is a big one. Most commercial floors only have a few hookups and drains. Each apartment typically has at least 6. Building layout is another. You could only reasonably put…

    Looks like Frere-Jones collaborated on this. They have a ton of experience with readability and typefaces. Excited to try this out!
