Protestware is fascinating. It exposes that corporations depend on developers with no formal or informal relationship. It's also like that Daffy Duck cartoon where he performs a magic trick he can only do once -- you can get your messa

SteamOS is only going to support other hardware by coincidence. Valve is unlikely to put in resources beyond the hardware that they want to support. It's also unlikely to change the whole "firmware restore, entire drive" appr

There's similar projects like QB64 and L-Basic. I have to wonder if keeping language variants alive will be of historic significance hundreds of years from now. Will anyone care about early computing to this extent?

I did a web remake of the old DOS re-imagining of SpaceWar a few years back as an exercise. https://spacewar.pro https://github.com/fritzy/spacewar.pro It's kind of fun watching the AI fight each other

I haven't had Firefox crash in years, and I use nightly for all of my day-to-day browsing. Chrome crashes or locks whenever I iterate on a canvas based game after some amount of refreshes.

OP's game hasn't flopped. The beta just launched yesterday and appears to be trending on steam and itch.

In reality, everyone works together to make sure the project is successful throughout its lifespan. It's not usually a hand-off.

I, the OP, am a starter myself. I was focused on finishers because they're often undervalued.

`table -> trigger to log table -> trigger to notify` is exactly the right solution here. You can even use the same stored proc to replay old logs.

This post doesn't reject limit, offset -- it's just that you shouldn't use it if your data is very deep or if you need hard consistency. It's nice that you live in a world where this stuff doesn't matter though. Con

I imagine the render task tree also has to determine which intermediate textures to keep in the texture cache, and which ones will likely need to be redone in the next frame. That kind of optimization has to be tricky.

It seems strange that they would claim that Python's libuv based event loop is twice as fast as Node.js's libuv based event loop. There's some context missing to that statement or it's flat out false.

We in the XMPP community work hard to make "Jabber" secure. Forward secrecy, federation and client scoring, carefully constructed extensions. But without end-to-end encryption like PGP or something, you're open to attack. The

Both of these articles fail to mention that as of Postgres 9.5, you can use logical replication rather than WAL. This is why Amazon's RDS now supports multi-region slaving with Postgres.

According to the feature-set, this is basically NeoVIM. * Separation into front-end and back-end: NeoVIM does this. The UI uses the same interface a plugin does. * Asynchronous operations: NeoVIM uses libuv to do this (same asynchronous C++

You're right there. This was a naive stab at it that I hadn't properly thought through. I'll try to update the post this weekend.

The roadmap being, basically stay away from commercial encryption software. Don't trust hardware that you can't see. Worry about secure routers as much as worrying about secure endpoints. Shouldn't that have been obvious?

This may be related. https://twitter.com/fritzy/status/367532797356826624 I found it odd (not wrong, just unusual) that an open source project would purchase ad promotions like promoted tweets, rather than the com
