Donkey Kong Bananza is probably my Switch 2 game of choice. Like it may not be marketed as such, but it's probably somewhere on par with Super Mario Odyssey in terms of game design and mechanics, and has the craziest ending sequence I&

They do have at least one development studio there, Nintendo Software Technology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Software_Technology They also make quite a few more changes than expected when localising games.

I mean, the old internet still exists if you want to use it. At least, in many places online. There are still forums, and people either discussing how to run them or setting up new ones today. There are still personal blogs out there, and s

What's the best alternative for the more privacy/safety paranoid? One thing I admire about Mullvad is that you technically don't need to provide personal information to set up an account, or have it tied to a billing address&

Guess it depends how big the university class is. If it's less than 30 students I can see him remembering their face and knowing which person in the list it might be, if there are 50/70/over 100 students enrolled, good luck.

I think what's more worrying to me (if other systems work like this ATS) is that it seems to judge based on a bunch of factors that will probably disqualify a ton of decent to good participants. For example, 65 points are given for a m

Because demos show a product or service operating in its ideal environment with the ideal user flow. The person showcasing it knows exactly what the system can and cannot do, and how to make it look good in front of a crowd. Real users are

I think it'll probably split. At the high end, there will always (or at least for a fairly long time) be a subset of work where AI can't do everything itself. Perhaps the framework or language is too new, or its built for hardware

God I remember this site. I think it was the main resource I used when learning web development in the day, alongside a few physical books here and there.

This is a really interesting point I think needs more discussion: > The site Wright built, Matt’s Script Archive, unwittingly helped to highlight the divergence between how normal people think about software, and the developer’s perspect

Yeah, whatever's obvious to you might not be obvious to someone else, and your take on a common take may appeal to certain people more than existing ones. Plus let's be honest, there are a surprising number of topics where the obv

The issue is that AI bots can answer pretty much any captcha that isn't ridiculously obtuse. Your homemade captcha can be solved with an LLM, but so can the latest version of Recaptcha or whatever. But I feel that there may be some oth

There's still a lot of value in learning to code here, even if AI becomes the norm at certain companies. Remember, you want to be able to understand why your system isn't working as intended if the AI screws up. You want to be abl

The issue is that anything that becomes a standard here automatically becomes a target. If the same sort of captcha protects everything from Gmail to Twitter to Cloudflare and Facebook, then bot creators and spammers have a huge incentive t

while the article may be making the process sound more meaningful than it actually is, I think there's a definite benefit to learning by trying to copy others, then making tweaks as you go. Honestly, it can be quite interesting to code

This just feels like the weirdest part to me: > A button within the app allows users to “text President Trump,” which autofills a text bubble reading “Greatest President Ever.” It feels like something you might see from the government in

Uh I think most people are extremely pessimistic about the future right now. The general prevailing attitude online at least seems to be that the world is doomed/society is doomed/bad times are ahead/climate change is hopeles

This makes me wonder what the research is for whether certain types or breeds of dog prefer certain dog treats, and how individual dogs might develop a preference for one kind over another. Based on this experiment it doesn't seem like

I'd say there's one more factor here, and it's probably the biggest one for websites and web apps. Advertisements and tracking. About 90% of the bloat found on most big company websites comes from these scripts being added al

The issue is that there are plenty of large companies that are effectively censoring legal views, and making it harder for people to setup alternative platforms that support them. For example, Visa and Mastercard control much of the payment

I suspect they didn't actually make many changes at all. Their product is literally a rebranded version of Bluesky, to the point the original test login didn't even change the background image or text.

If you really trust the AI that much, I guess not. But personally I not only like to be able to debug issues with the code generated, but make my own changes on top of that. Programming things is kinda fun in of itself, and the idea of just

Given how bad X was as a company/product name, basing your own company name off that certainly seems like an interesting choice. X at least has the fact it's rebranded Twitter bringing in attention.

Not sure if the backlash got to them or they got word of potential legal issues caused by doing this, but I can see their GitHub page and its associated repositories just fine now: https://github.com/w-social-eu But I do ki

Isolation and depression for sure. If you work remotely, having a friend group or other social activities outside your house is probably all the more important. As someone who mostly socialises online, I can go many, many days without reall

Have to say, I've always admired Watterson's determination to keep Calvin and Hobbes a comic strip and not compromise on its vision for money/fame. As the article itself points out, it would have been very easy for it to beco

Well, I guess the main priority right now should be videos for my YouTube channel and articles for the website. I recently had a three hour chat with the owner of a massive channel (about 500K subs), and I'm currently trying to edit th

No, AI just feels like any other tool to me. I don't see it as something I can hold a meaningful conversation with, or get too caught up in.

Games and niche software for the most part. Yeah, compatibility on Linux is better now, especially with Valve implementing Proton so games would run on the Steam Deck. But there are still incompatible games, and non-Windows operating system

What if the submission said the most common reason an article was flagged next to the title? That way if it's AI slop it'll say [AI slop], if it's spam it'll say [Spam], if it's dubiously legal/illegal content
