I was generally frustrated with the parade of posts about how bad Godot is from former Unity devs. This happened to be the article that I commented on.

I appreciate that the author crossed out his suggestion to remove gdscript vs removing it. I will give him credit for transparency. That doesn’t negate the original intent. I am aw…

> This dismissal of honest performance benchmarks… No, I was criticizing premature optimization. I explicitly stated “there are definitely opportunities to improve Godot”. I took o…

I am so glad that Juan et al are leading Godot and not me because frankly I would be offended by all of this. It hasn’t been a week since the Unity fiasco and all I see is post aft…

How many users that are happy with gdscript are taking time to read vote in a GitHub polling posted about c# issues?

Unity may have damaged themself enough with this that AppLovin might get another chance to buy. Unity’s stock price has dropped 8% since this was announced. Another fun fact, the U…

True, acid rain was not caused my lead but there was public and industry resistance to requiring all vehicles use catalytic converters. Lead had to be removed from fuel because it …

I only hobby in game dev. I have read some basics of ECS and IMO it seems a lot more intuitive than the “normal approach”. I think this is a case of using familiar tools we are com…

Human civilization made it all the way to 1990’s without commercial internet. Maybe keeping children off the internet would make them better prepared for society.

Not the OP but I do run Teams on Apple Silicon and it is still a bug-ridden mess. Crashes, rendering bugs, file attachment bugs. At least once a week, usually more. Searches fail t…

I am not against types but I do find typescript’s type system to be deficient. Additionally, functional programming is not incompatible with type systems but typescript’s type syst…

> The whole point of static types (well one big reason at least) is to improve the actual code quality. I have worked on multiple typescript projects that had terrible code quality…

Zuckerberg hired Joel Kaplan as Facebook’s VP of public policy to shape political speech policy. Kaplan was a former clerk for Antonin Scalia, a lawyer for W. Bush during the 2000 …

I completely forgot about those trays. Yuck!

Wired did an article on this earlier this year. It talks about the ecological concerns and the international politics surrounding these deep sea mining efforts. https://www.wired.c…

It’s called fluoride varnish. The ADA use to recommend it only for children but in the last decade they updated their guidelines to include all ages. My dentist applies it now but …

I might consider paying for premium if this wasn’t Google we’re talking about, which I imagine is tracking your viewing habits in their profile of you so they can serve targeted ad…

Externalize triage costs to public forums. Prioritize human support for high profile social media users and viral posts. Reap good PR of solving the problem publicly. Forum owners …

They need $20 million to break even on the api costs alone. Both Google and Apple charge 30% on revenue exceeding $1 million per year

I have speculated for a while that bots “watch” videos on YouTube to appear human so google doesn't ban their accounts.

There was a big push in the 20th century with government projects to promote the metric system and educate. People were confused because they knew the imperial system already. Op e…

I’m far from cover-of-GQ but I did wear a suit every day for a few years to a programming job. Maybe it’s the punk in me but when every person in the company, including the C suite…

Typescript won because is doesn’t ask developers to write better code, only that they write more code. As you pointed out, its syntax is familiar enough to be non-threatening to ex…

Same situation. A few years ago I started moving old emails into yearly sub folders (just moved all of last years emails into a “2022” folder). This improved performance a lot for …
