There is a difference between 'maximizing performance' and 'picking literally the worst tool for the job because I don't care lmao'

Relates to ease of iteration, but imo the biggest factor is no real responsibility when things breaks and how it is expected for software to break.

But javascript isn't even a good tool, you are optimizing for literally nothing else then to not spend like 20 minutes picking up go or something. Instead you pick literally the worst (of the popular) languages that is painfully ineffi

140$ sounds like price for perpetual license that binds to your Microsoft account and can be transfered from pc to pc. But you can buy legit oem licenses that cost something like 40$. You simply won't be able to move it to new pc, but

Sure, but even we stayed with w10 naming, we would still get an update with stricter requirements eventually

Wsl is imo more convenient then dual boot. And since most people are used to windowsUI, going out of their way to switch to Linux while still keeping windows installed just doesn't make much sense. Also, with wsl I can switch back and

I mean, you can upgrade from w10 to w11 for free, without reinstalling full system. It's not really much different then 'w10 updates forever', just marketing with new version.

Self perpetuating growth. Systemd integrates many functions so people default using it and add even more functionality that bring even more people into ecosystem. Which is basically how every tech ecosystem works. The problem is that linux

The difference is that I can solve libc dependency at comp time (statically linked against it), while systemd dependencies require runtime support.

No. I don't like a framework that promotes using components that are arbitrary dependent on it. To use udev, I need systemd-init, and to use systemd-init I need systemd boot. I really don't believe it MUST be this way, and those r

2 weeks ago I didn't understood the systemd hate. But I tried to run udev-requiring program on non-systemd based distro. And now I don't like systemd anymore.

Why?

I mean, it's not like there are no games in existence that shipped with a custom engine. Even in hindsight it's hard to judge whether building your own engine was good or bad decision, and we are nowhere near "the hindsight&q

>I don't get it, what's the point of type checking if not to reject invalid programs? Because not every program that doesn't compile is necessarily invalid.

As for ECS, it's not really about upsides or downsides. It's about the fact that Rust effectively forces You to use ECS everywhere, because 'normal' game objects interacting won't fly under borrow checker. And no ma

I mean, if you agree that the ideal for bevy would be lua integration, you are kinda agree with the author that Rust itself is suboptimal (at least in layer of game scropting), don't You?

No. You don't need ability to DI every single functionality. And you can still do DI with global state, just with less granularity.

It's up to app maker to ensure it will work without permissions granted. ...but ofc most app makers are lazy and just throw up error whenever they don't get what their wont, forcing users to give up. I guess google could introduce

C# and .net platforms matches (or more often even exceed) java in all those categories. Looking at what big companies are doing is also weak argument, especially since Google literally developed their own language which slots in the same sp

I don't see how Google could threaten Samsung while at the same time not antagonizing every other OEM out there. And even if they went for "all out war" I still don't think it would be that one-sided.

You assume this is 'just weirdness', but in the thread You have multiple examples that there were upsides to this separation as well

I think there is value in having core android team that focused on AOSP separate from the product oriented pixel or apps teams. And yes, in the end everyone end up using GMS (besides those who are banned, ie. Huawei). But still, it's b

When it comes to language itself, I don't see there being any good reason to pick java over c# these days. If you compare ecosystems then maybe, but it terms of language features I don't know why would any1 ever pick java from scr

What C# has that Kotlin doesn't is the ability to write perfromant code. Sure, if you really care you probably will go for something lower level, but if you don't want to abandon all the nice things that high lvl language offer,

They won't because they already have async/await

Wasn't c# the first to introduce the async() concept though?
