Steam has a hidden debug console that allows users to rollback any game to any previous release via the `download_depot` command. It's not remotely as user friendly as when a publisher adds an old version of a game as a beta branch tha

Reddit should have stuck to the Craigslist model of simply just existing as-is, selling a reasonable amount of ads and premium subscriptions, and only having the minimum number of employees required to keep the site up. It never needed to b

The .NET Framework is not quite the same thing as .NET, and they have separate Wikipedia pages which reflect that distinction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET

I would be shocked if Etsy/Spotify/whoever else wasn't cutting a deal for a significant discount, getting these name brands on GCP is great PR for the platform.

Given the alternative of handing out my SSN and hoping for the best, I'd be more than happy to use this for banking and related services. Presumably, third-party use would be covered by some form of ToS, and maybe we'd see actual

But why June 21, 2006, specifically ? According to Wikipedia, there was a circulated Pre-RC1 Vista build (but only the first of 3) that was built on June 20th, and June 21st was the first day of summer that year, but neither of those seem

Seconding Convox. It's also worth noting that the tooling is open-source, and they profit off an optional-to-use closed-source web interface which has free and paid tiers. I'm one of two developers at a very young startup, and the

...I did read the article, what do ALBs have anything to do with what I said? Or are you just assuming that no one needs non-HTTP services running in a VPC load balanced over IPv6?

by spencerhakim 10y ago
Unless something has changed since I just happened to have checked earlier today, VPC ELBs are still IPv4-only. They return AAAA records on the ipv6 and dualstack subdomains like their classic/non-VPC counterparts (which do fully suppo

There are only a handful of actual commits on the repo: two from 1995, and the rest from 4 days ago. It would seem that someone had a tarball of the source and specifically choose to backdate the commit, for whatever reason.

It's one thing to not want to report IPs that access the image, as it could be a complete accident. But why wouldn't you want to report someone who is actively trying to share such content?

Just set your location to a place that's more compatible with your schedule. Living on the east coast, I get fine results setting it to a southern California zip code.

Crayon Physics Deluxe silently closes on startup after showing the Kloonigames logo on my Nexus 7. Runs fine on my Galaxy Nexus, however. A shame, would love to play this on a tablet.

I converted my resume to markdown earlier this year, but I've just been using OS X's Print To PDF feature for conversion from HTML to PDF. How does the quality from Pandoc compare?

I'm curious as to why you believe the engine to be broken, or why Cliff would be the one to fix it. Unlike "brogrammer," Cliff's professional title /is/ found right at the top of the article: Design Director. He makes games, not engines; Ti
