This whole discussion makes me think of the old days, when I had a really outdated computer. I was playing Counter-Strike semi-competitively at around 15 FPS, and I didn’t see anything wrong with it...

I'm not mad, but curious - I use Python for years and only dabbled with JS. Could you elaborate what makes Python magnitide worse than JavaScript?

Oh, nice, I didn't know - I always thought that Luau has only type annotations and is not statically typed per se. But yeah, looked into the documentation and you can set !strict mode per script, which will cause interpreter to assert

OCaml has both compilator and interpreter. Lua isn't statically typed, and while there is Teal – a statically typed variant of Lua – it requires separate build step.

I'm quite surprised it's available on Android, this specific take on air traffic control games doesn't really strike me as mobile-friendly game. Good to know - I played it a lot on Steam back in the days.

You can, I am self-hosting Immich via Docker on Raspberry Pi 4 with small SSD and it's nothing but good experience so far (but I keep the photos backed up elsewhere just in case, I use Immich mostly to share curated sets of photos)

Surprisingly interesting experience even for someone that does know nothing about writing proof - thanks to gradual onboarding and a decent help menu. Also, perfectly playable at mobile (at least a couple of first monsters).

APL game engine is indeed an unusual thing. I don't know much about APL, and never used it (toyed with J back in the days though). I am really interested in the development process and the challenges posed by using APL for that kind of

It beings back memories, I was learning CNC machining mainly on Fanuc machines. They were old, reliable, but ultimately quiete crude machines. When for the first time I was working on a modern Sinumeric milling machine, I was amazed how use

You are talking about retirement, yet I was working with people who couldn't stand the 2-week long annual leave (which is mandatory for every under contract of employment where I live) because they had nothing to do. 30, 40 years old p

I use RPi 4 with a cheap SSD connected via USB-to-SATA connector as a tiny home server for a year already and it works without issues. I know that not all USB-to-SATA connectors are compatible with RPi – I got lucky with the first connector

TIC-80 is great indeed, I had even ore fu with it than with PICO-8 and that's a high bar. But there is one gripe -- when packaging apps into executable, TIC-80 pulls templates from the Internet. On one hand, it's not that big deal

This is really fine article. I agree with its overall sentiment that it's difficult to draw hard lines. Answering the question posed in title - I have no idea. When I was a kid, I thought that person becomes adult in the day of their 1

Mine too likes to lie between the keyboard and the monitor, but if I want to actually work I still have to remove her from the desk. The issue is that, while she usually is a lovely cat, the hand movements over the keyboard are turning her

Not sure about Unity, bot Godot is already used to build tools, like Pixelorama (pixel art graphics editor, a bit akin to Asesprite), RPG In A Box (game engine targeted for RPG games), Bitmapflow (tool to generate in-between animation frame

I think that Wadjet Eye Games studio still uses AGS for their games, and most (all?) of the games published by them seems to use AGS as well. I highly recommend checking their catalogue. While the first installements of Blackwell series did

I have Sharp EL506T and it serves me well. I don't use it very often, mind, but it still happens semi-regularly. The biggest reason for me are physical buttons and the fact I know the layout and capabilities. I'm just faster on ph
