Like most macOS games, it most likely is an x86-64 game that Apple's x86-64 emulator does an admirable job of emulating. As far as I can tell, very few Mac games, even new ones, are proper ARM builds currently.

Because the Switch is running Factorio on top of a bit of code optimized for running games. A PC is running Factorio on top of a full-featured general-purpose OS, and most PC users are going to be running other things concurrently; web brow

If the purpose of your site is to show content to a human, then anything on the page that isn't the content the human wants to see is bells and whistles. I will die on this hill.

"Time to interactive" and "time to first byte" are pointless numbers if the purpose of your site is to display content (Reddit, Twitter, pretty much everything else). If I (resentfully) click on a Reddit link on a SERP,

I've been using Super Agent for this purpose since it has a Safari extension. It seems to work in more cases than not. Its web site feels very… corporate, and I can't find a source code link anyway, so I'm sure it's maki

Ha, that's so needlessly inefficient! Now let me get back to work with my Electron code editor while I communicate with my team in four different Electron chat apps and code a web page which requires 2.5MB of assets to load (not counti

I know other people are tearing this apart in other subthreads, but it doesn't look like anyone's addressing the "orgy of deforestation" nugget, so I will. It literally made me laugh out loud. Hello, northern California

That's my recollection as well. I was in college around that time and my primary way of saving data to move between computers was a Zip drive disk (since all the computers in the labs had one), then a USB flash drive with maybe 32MB of

Yes, that's my point. Mastodon is just a piece of software which interacts with the network that makes that cross-instance interaction pssible. It is not the network itself. But so many people conflate the two.

I was scared at first too until I realized we're talking about people already taking photos for the purpose of posting to Instagram anyway. It's involuntary surveillance while participating in voluntary surveillance.

But they do not have 10k followers on the Fosstodon instance; that doesn't really make sense unless you were awkwardly counting only followers from other users of that instance. They have 10k followers on the whole network. At any rate

There may be patent considerations, and at any rate those things look a lot more prone to breaking if someone trips over the cord.

Why is it HN's job to fix someone else's breakage of the web's standard behavior?

No, it's fine. Keep conflating the entire fediverse with Mastodon, it's fine. Just like email with Gmail or the web with Chrome, it's not really necessary to recognize that alternative interfaces to what is in fact an open st

Obligatory XKCD link: https://xkcd.com/927/ Variety is good. New browsers with new engines are good (though I think an announcement like this without any pre-built binaries for normies to download is a bit premature).

Generation Zig? I like it. Even though I'm technically a millennial… but if the next gen start using Zig instead of JavaScript for everything, I'm on board.

Would love to hear your experiences hiring devs and building projects in a new, scarcely-used language and ecosystem like this. I imagine you don't quite get the range of applicants you'd see hiring devs for Rust or Go or other tr

It might not be entirely altruistic or a personal challenge as mentioned in other replies. If I were someone who wanted to recruit a developer for some performance-critical Apple Watch work, I would put this person on a short list of people

The fanaticism of Rust devs makes me think it's probably massively overrated (see Node yesterday and Ruby/Rails the day before) and Go is associated with Google which gets a perhaps unfair but still unignorable knee-jerk reaction
