The (moderate) left was anti-oppression and anti-dictatorship. Sometimes you need to fight for that, but the goal remains a stable, egalitarian and peaceful society. If your anti-war stance means I can punch you in the face and your reactio

What example(s) of file format would you say are designed for humans to edit and still represent the kind of structured contents that json does?

I can't put much faith in any technical promise from GOG. My GOG account broke somehow almost 10 years ago, and over the years and several attempts they have been unable to recover it. They can't even establish why it's broke

Scala would be my immediate thought. Probably also C/C++ with macros.

There's a lot of 6-figure salaries in tech outside of the Bay Area, and even outside the US.

Another department store squatter here along with my brother. It was crazy to think this is how we learned to program, but it made sense at the time. We went for the ZX Spectrum and eventually wrote our first commercial game for it [1] with

When I was 18-22 and living with my parents (pretty normal in Europe) I worked and contributed to the house expenses. I'm pretty sure kids of rich people don't do that. If I wanted to take out a loan, my parent's wouldn'

It's a lot easier to embed Python than Clojure. Oldest examples I recall are Severance: Blade of Darkness by Rebel Act Studios, and (coincidence, nothing to do with the previous) Blade 2 by Mucky Foot, about 25 and 22 years ago.

This feature doesn't change that. Whoever wanted to doctor a screenshot will still do, and whoever wanted to post a real screenshot can still do. Now, if someone wanted to quote-reply with the legitimacy of a link but now has to make d

That's perfectly fine. Screenshots as posts deter 90% (my guess) of people from going through the trouble of finding the original post/author, but still allow dedicated people to do that. It reduces the ability to trivially post m

My reading of "hiding replies" was that people who follow the replier would still see the reply as part of their normal feed. So you are not silencing them for their audience. Which is fair. The removal of links to yourself is a

Performance, I assume. Right now it may look like the wrong tradeoff, but every day in between incidents like this we're instead complaining that software is slow. Of course it doesn't have to be either/or; you can have fast

That's what it was, mostly. You could do pretty decent games using GDI as long as you just wanted to blit some sprites and were very much adhering to what GDI would give you. If I remember correctly, all the examples in the "GameS
