Great game! Almost captured the feeling I got playing the original Deus Ex that I pirated off Hotwire 25 years ago. But after watching a YouTube video of the OG Deus Ex, I think some of that feeling was just being a kid and seeing something

Religion is a subset of ideology, and both are a mechanism to recruit labor to fight and not the reason for conflict. Material isn't cheaper to buy, the "owner" of the material has all of the leverage - lock them in like a Sa

It's influencer marketing. These 'ego battles' are a show to keep their brand in front of you. It's engaging like reality television. This is very valuable, especially for companies that need to fund their growth through

Yes, it was crazy. $2/hour in 1997 dollars! Agreed… I think only Pubg has come close to replicating the intensity of emotion in PvP (which was my main interest in playing)

I got into programming through MUDs, have the fondest memories of those times and deeply appreciate their role in my life. I ran up a giant AOL bill playing Dragon's Gate that I had to work off by doing data entry that helped me unders

The free encyclopedia is an advertisement for a nonprofit that does a lot of things: https://wikimediafoundation.org/what-we-do/ . They manage costs of producing the encyclopedia by using volunteer labor. They operate a

It is an advertisement.

No, that was just good advertising in an era where there were few entities that could afford to broadcast at scale.

HN is an advertisement for Y Combinator. You and I contribute content to advertise our identity and ego.

by jcstk 9mo ago
Any information that comes to you for free or is on a screen is an advertisement. All of it. That's the point. Do you think people spend millions and billions of dollars creating and maintaining a content delivery network because they

One thing I find interesting about reading is that it's done in the voice of the reader, not the writer. Shame and manipulative high-pressure sales tactics... interesting perspective. Personally, I write to inspire people to get curiou

FWIW, I enjoyed the hundreds of hours I spent with dart:mirrors to automate serialization, and the code-generation heavy approach always felt like kind of a bummer. But I feel like AI-assisted programming solves the majority of use cases th

I'm talking about my current experience, not the delta over time. I've been using Spotify since 2011.

I'm reading these comments and I'm thinking "are we using the same Spotify?" I don't see any AI music, I don't get Podcasts pushed on me, the UI is fine, playlists are fine and I get new music I like suggested

I can appreciate this perspective because I used to have it. I even wrote a similar blog post 10 years ago - it was on the top of HN and the comment section was a beautiful shitshow. For me, this perspective was a good story to tell myself

I’ve found that I’m at least more willing to make quick typo fixes and deploy them when I just have to make the change locally and do a single push. This is especially true (for me) when there is some additional web content that is not gene

Awesome and congrats. We started using MkDocs for https://aqueduct.io/docs/ , and have since used it for a ton of projects. Some things that we found really useful were that it indexes all of your content for full text

Ditto on generic methods both changing the game for Dart and being necessary. I spend most of my time in Dart, Swift and ObjC, and I've built serious applications in Erlang and Java. All of which I like for different reasons. My opinio

Just through observation. Breakpoints just started to work and a pesky race condition between isolates became reproducible.

For a bit more detail: The main isolate creates an Application instance that has N number of supervisors, one for each isolate. The isolates are launched and go thru their initialization steps, reporting back to their supervisor. The applic

Hmmm, no, that's not accurate. You specify a folder serving static content and the HTTP path is resolved against that folder. e.g. router.route("/*").pipe(new HTTPFileController("web/"); router.route

Yup! Each isolate has its own event loop... and I'll do a terrible job explaining that as its late in the day, so I included a reference link [1]. The memory consumption of an isolate depends on the size of the application code. Each i
