I've seen this as inevitable for a while, and that's why I'm writing under my real name right here right now.

The Darknet Diaries guy will probably want to interview you after this.

I knew this story sounded familiar.

Could there be a more correct choice?

I'm actually reading his Black Hole War book right now and he does a great job of explaining things conceptually.

I played the same way. Well, I took a motorcycle because the traffic was always way too slow. Sometimes I'd stop to Judge Dredd some random Crims if it was on the way. The world looked pretty, but the traffic and pedestrian AI was just

The open world was an albatross they should have ditched in favor of the main quest; the campaign is cinematic and awesome, the combat is bomb, but the world is... well, you traverse it, and that's about it.

I don't think it's unreasonable to be nostalgic for those things though. We had a period where animation and game production was democratized, where the promise of computing was actually realized. And what did we switch to, but co

Playing with Godot is the first time I've felt like I had the power of Flash again. Though I never actually managed to write any games in flash, just animations, I had a pretty good idea of what you could do, and wanted to, but then fl

I would consider that wonderful. I'm no huge Microsoft fan, but it's very nice that I can run 90s and 2000s programs on my current windows box. Though I hear we're losing Win32...

Apple also routinely breaks software compatibility with zero apologies.

I like the physical book. Ebook readers just aren't large enough to accommodate the size that they print these books in, and I'd rather use my screen for the code I'm editing without needing to tab back to the book.

Most Python projects aren't this tough. I suspect that they're using wonky libraries like Pandas, Numpy or some such that prioritize raw power over ease of installation.

People will do anything for the tiniest drop of illusionary power and will take the shortest path to it.

Splark: a new phlinto framework built in blenk. And the thread is just Blenk fans arguing with Fobl fans.

There are some sections about physical copies of documentation and managing the logistics of that when I read it.

It's funny that your first thought is "why would I buy this, I basically already have it." I think a much more common reaction people have to titles is "why would I buy this, it isn't like what I already have."

No, I really think the author is right about consumption devices. They're just not optimized for creation. No keyboard, tiny screen, perfect for reading tweets and scrolling Instagram but not great for sitting down and creating a Power

Requires... something though. Like I read the book, I watched a demo, and I don't feel like I could run a game.

Great little compilation of computer lore. Sort of like a Jargon file for the meme generations.

Package managers will produce an SBOM for you, the tough part is keeping track of licenses and CVEs. TideLift and BlackDuck (now called something else) work just fine as third party solutions you can run on your self-hosted stuff though.
