While we're talking about IRC/former freenode, what where your favorite freenode channels?

Right, in order to see a discord you need to join it. That is very hostile to people trying to find info locked in walled gardens (yikes) but it does let people keep toxic people out if they want to (yay.) More importantly it drives Discord

This is one of the most enjoyable action games I've played recently. The things it does with visual design, shaders, perspective, and environments are incredibly impressive.

Blizzard bailed, valve bailed, who's left, really? But then again, a PC game has to compete with not only other PC titles but the entire history of Windows games via Steam/etc. You can make a brilliant RTS experience but will peop

Would be neat if it also removed the anchor gunk google is adding that highlights the specific word you searched for. Very obnoxious when you're trying to find a wikipedia page to link on mobile.

That's kind of the rub. They used a university email to exploit the trust afforded to them as academics and then violated that trust. As a result that trust was revoked. If they want to submit future patches they'll need to do it

Hacker News is the fallback platform for discussion for a few communities like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. (Or at least our slice of it)

Title changed to 'the healing power of javascript' which not only undermines the text but also means it's too silly to share on social media now.

Not really, some anti-cheat analysis is server-side and designed to catch people acting bot-like.

This could be used to track down noisy prints in an existing codebase though.

This could be very useful when trying to track down annoying logging noise.

I don't think we have a proven paint-in-space technology but we definitely have proven 'hit with rocket' technology.
