Ugh. Have we all forgotten that jealousy is the absolute opposite of a good virtue. Why does this get upvoted? Hacker News in a truly despicable state these days when this is what bubbles to the top. It saddens me to see that all the good p

People treat LLMs as sentient, not realizing they are the worlds most sophisticated talking parrots. They can very convincingly argue both sides for any given argument you throw at it. They are incredible for research & discovery, not w

I thought the ending was lovely as well. We get sincerity, but seems some people can't go to sleep without an epic boss fight and some dramatic reveal of the "secret". This was the better way to do it and for me the best poin

Who else is doing it doesn't change the matter. Charging your guests more then your own? You don't think the morally correct thing is to charge them the same?

Trying to recoup their recent losses? Doesn't feel right though to make a distinction based on country of origin. What about "égalité"?

This feels familiar.. I've been on the solo indie track ever since 2020 when society decided to turn hostile. Now 5 years later I'm definitely in some deep uncharted territory. The loneliness was very bothersome, but over time it

According to the news media, we have been living in perpetual crisis, closing in on apocalyptic times for the last 10+ years. Constant fear and negativity through Radio, TV, Internet throughout every day, from the moment you wake up. Yes, t

Circus? And why do you think you payed for nothing? Looks like they unified Designer/Photo/Publisher into one app, will take a bit to to get used to, but overall nice, the split between Photo & Designer was always a bit silly

Take like 2g of Vitamin C. It's a lot stronger. Vitamin D is good too, but if anything you want to take C.

It's not a fact, it's the opinion of a rather small group of elitist iOS super users. Native is an utterly overrated concept these days and in no way the solution to build an app with good UX. Users don't care whether you use

Sure you can find some issues if you look at it hard enough. In the real world scenario, it's very possible to ship a performant, functional app in Flutter and has been for some time now. It also brings some of the best development exp

You can set the corner radius to whatever you like in Flutter, also the framework is quite fast, if an app doesn't respond to touches it's likely a poorly made app

I don't disagree. I just don't think these "next-gen OSes" are going to stand in the long run. I'm optimistic that the current situation where we're buying $1000+ devices, handicapped, but perfectly capable of

Well the hope is now with Google merging ChromeOS & Android it'll evolve into a hybrid desktop/mobile OS, and we get to the point where you can finally plug your phone into a monitor, launch VSCode etc. Recent side load signin

As far as I understand it, the purpose of this is to avoid daydreaming, getting lost in thoughts or falling into auto-pilot mode. It's very easy to just start dreaming and go onto some tangent inside your head. So every few minutes the

That's because niceness and humor are often just a mask for being unsure, inconcise, or at worst plain unkind. Being kind is much harder, it requires thoroughly judging the situation, including considering own interests, and then respo

Nintendo has the best 1st party games. They care a lot about making games that are just fun. What does Valve have? Lootbox, gambling ridden, addictive dopamine juicers. Their offering sucks compared to Nintendo.

If anything even comes out of this, the furthest a law could possibly go is to impose a 2 year window (after sale) in which a game needs to work as described.

That's a perfectly fine approach, Protobuf strength is exactly these kind of use cases.

Just buy a car from the people, who dedicate their career/lives to making cars and have done so for decades. You aren't smarter then them. Your "serious thoughts" and "opinion" about what standards should apply

It reminds me of how psychedelics can sometimes put you in a hyper observant, heightened state of awareness. Maybe some here have experienced this, it can be very mind blowing. People are open books and communicate much much more then we th

Dude, why are you defending Steam so hard? Gaben is not really Jesus, he's a guy with a superyacht and a doomsday bunker in NZ. You can buy and play games on Epic store, it works just as well. It has achievements too. Devs get a larger

All thanks to Epic for spearheading this effort. We do not want 30% cut takers in the age of digital distribution. It's parasitic way of making money. Apple (also Steam) does not deserve to earn billions from software they have contrib
