Obviously there is simplification going on, but clearly somewhere between founder of a 5 person startup. And CEO of a public multi-national there is a line where they really are not much alike.

It's a neat piece of hardware, but honestly I never wanted to play any of the games. I don't really know for to do discovery for it, and none of the ones I tried stuck for me, honestly, I prefer to emulate games from my childhood,

At some point we will have to stop treating universities as tests to pass, and actually what they claim to be: places to learn. Ultimately it needs to be on the student to want to learn. Obviously this would be easier if our entire school s

And actually to add, I've been finding myself going to nixpkgs first for reference on how to build and/or configure packages even outside of nix.

You know, I used to agree, but what I realized, is I am a software engineer, and I'm used to working in large projects with source-code as the only documentation. And that's what's great about NixOS, you just clone nixpkgs an

It's like most things in software, if you constrain the problem enough, focus on the problems you actually have and make some smart choices early on, it can be a very modest lift on the order of a week or two for a 90% solution, but on

Copyright isn't some axiom, but to quote wikipedia: "Copyright laws allow products of creative human activities, such as literary and artistic production, to be preferentially exploited and thus incentivized." It's a too

Been looking into this for a while myself, very cool. It seems .nl has a lot of resources and support for this sort of thing. Any similar resources like coloclue in the San Francisco Bay Area? It seems confusing to find just a couple of U o

I'm actually not sure the Northridge earthquake was cited in the Richter scale, most references I see have it as about a 6.7, which based on the USGS catalog, was it's moment magnitude 6.7 Mw https://earthquake.usgs.go

Great, so now I need a special editor plugin, and a compatible editor just to be able to properly view code? No wonder why spaces "won"

Yes, this. Which the counter point is either, Don't align things, or use tabs for indentation, and spaces for alignment. And maybe you can enforce no alignment, but that's a hard fight to win. And as far as tabs for indentation an

> Legally perilous maybe, although my non-lawyer brain sees that as fair use, especially if the emulator doesn't let you play the full game. Idk, but it'd be a unique thing on the internet. IANAL, but I think what a lot of peop

Maybe... But then, having also lived it, upgrading to newer versions of PHP and it's required modules is also not trivial. And it's often not just your language, the cloud vendors have a lot of incentives to get you to use their h

It is well known. But also not all developers want to/ can afford the risk to tie all their networking services to Steam.

Honestly, it's probably simpler than this, and the root of the problem often comes down to the Cloud Providers to begin with. It's astounding the frequency I get an email from some cloud provider, or mobile app store that says som

Ugh, on both mobile platforms, we have/had multiple popular games that their updates keep breaking, and they keep deprecating SDKs for. And each game is at on a different engine revision so we can't combone the work. We'd rea

I'm actually really curious what the experience is like having not more than 10 tabs at a time, like what thing causes you to close a tab? 10 seems sort of wild to me, it's enough that you are clearly not just monotasking, somehow

I don't do this, but it appeals to me, as History seems to be pretty spotty, I've a couple of times recently tried to find something in my history, and it ended up as if it was never there.

More importantly, a successful game is likely to need porting to proprietary platforms, with APIs behind restrictive NDAs. Honestly, not great, but that's the world we live in.

I mean, you could do that, it's sort-of a lie though, maybe something better would be using the date of the most recent commit, which would be both more accurate, as far as authorship goes, and actually deterministic.. Pipe something l

I'm sorry, I didn't understand, are you claiming that gamers (perhaps one of the most notoriously toxic communities) are not hostile towards game developers?

Yeah, if you're development process requires LTO you may be holding it wrong.... Specifically, if LTO is so important that you need to be using it during development, you likely have a very exceptional case, or you have some big archit
