Well, they care about their image, I just don't think they care much about this social issue. According to them, people that have to pee in bottles would never work for Amazon.

You also cannot disable homosexuality so I don't think their decisions are politically aligned.

I exclusively write SPAs these days and I think they are vastly superior for many reasons. The problem is that you can build a shitty product with good tools. One of my duties is performance improvement, so I’m very familiar with problemat

I don't think Amazon cares much about the long team warehouse worker situation because they know it will be automated very soon. I'm curious if workers unionizing could negatively affect their automation aspirations.

Wow, I just checked that out and I don't know what to say. Bold move to troll politicians so brazenly.

We are going to have to agree to disagree then. Both Node and frontend js share the same package management system (npm). Everything is modular because it has to be. When you work fullstack JS and use one package manager for everything, i

That why we read and learn. You can't expect node to work like java. I feel like I'm talking to a wall with you guys. I've been working with JS for 15 years. I would never presume to start Java dev and expect to do things

It's a one liner if you use Day.js. It's makes no sense to include this functionality in Node.

- Lack of a good standard api: I don't understand this one. I've never had a problem with its documentation and the API always seemed fine to me, but I don't use C# or Go so maybe I'm missing out? - There's a tende

It wasn't meant to be personal. I guess the tone I was looking for was lost so I apologize if that's how it got conveyed. Like I said earlier, I was into that scene in the early 90's and it was very much a cool kids club, we

Maybe exposure? I wasn't involved in the scene creatively, but I did experience it in all its glory in the early 90's. I was blown away by the creativity and it was the highlight of running my BBS. Your negativity is kind of dis

You can say this about any closed platform. There's nothing wrong with closed platforms having these policies if they are advertised and designed as such. Apple has been consistent from day one. there are other options, buy an Andr

Actually, the EGA version has a sunset background at the dock and the VGA version is after it has set.

I was referring to the default EGA pallet which is what games used back then.

by bstar77 6y ago
The same is true for Monkey Island 1. The reason the VGA versions are inferior is because they replaced Mark Ferrari's amazing dithered EGA backgrounds. Additionally, the VGA versions used scanned art in spots, so it feels less sharp

I didn't experience the issue on my Threadripper2 with Windows 10. Is that because of OS patches or because my CPU is not affected?

This was a core feature in Ultima Online as well as Garriott's Shroud of the Avatar. I'm not going to Criticize Ultima Online, but it was never my thing as pivotal as the game was. Garriott tried to create this level of immersion

by bstar77 6y ago
This was a brutal takedown of Garriott, which I think is fair. The guy was a visionary, but lost touch with what made Ultima great after Ultima VII. What's not mentioned is that Ultima Online destroyed any chance that the Ultima franc

Umm, I tinker on the raspberry pi 4 my son and I share. We tinker on our gaming PCs. We also tinker on our retro electronics (game consoles, computers and receivers). I don’t have any urge to tinker with my phone, iPad or MacBook’s hardwa

No, having a distributed grid is what makes you more resilient. If every house had solar panels this would likely be a non-issue.

I don't find it implicit and feel it has a tinge of hubris. Too much is reported as fact, and taken as such, when it's just a best guess.

My mother read a book to me called "The Emperor Has No Cloths" when I was very young. The book is silly, but it stays with me to this day. Every time I hear my president repeat absurd, dangerous and divisive conspiracy theories,

City Skylines traffic simulation is mediocre at best. This project is extremely impressive. I sat and watched the traffic simulation for 15 minutes before I realized it.

My point is that there are too many components to have complete control over the whole supply chain, so these types of issues will come up and hopefully responded to accordingly. I really appreciate that these sustainable devices exist, an

These phones can't do much to address a glass supplier that is mean to their workers. These are just more environmentally sustainable phones. I'm all in on putting pressure on Apple and others to clean up their supply chain, but

That's fine, but tell me where I can buy an ethically sourced phone? I develop for iOS, Android and Desktop systems. Each of these devices have thousands of components from different vendors that I have to support. The parent articl

"Forced" is the word the article uses. We don't know if that's accurate or hyperbolic. I think issues like these are worth scrutiny and intense investigation, but I'm not going to pull my pitch fork out just yet.
