3D A&V multiplayer is the final medium/media. Game engines are the final craft. Programming is a higher art than painting or music.

I have my own domains and people play with me all the time? The big players are going to get pretty mean when electricity costs rise. So the playing field will level by itself. I use Raspberry 2/4 in my home cloud that I can keep power

Both HTTP and SMTP are client/server because you cannot read SMTP without a "client"... The crucial part of these protocols are simple text that use DNS for distributing the connecting. HTTP can be used for server to server t

They have been trying to sabotage it for two decades, they can't because it is distributed. Just like HTTP/1.1 can't be deprecated because too much infrastructure depends on it. These protocols are simple and as complexity fa

I'm going to build my instant messaging on top of SMTP adding a list of allowed "from" addresses. SMTP will prevail and at some point all the messaging will be done over it just like HTTP/1.1...

I agree BUT 3D is something real both for audio and video, we have two eyes and ears! That said, going back to less powerful hardware is the right thing to do because we get longer lasting batteries: https://shop.pimoroni.com

This is completely wrong, SMTP is decentralized. Own your future, self host your mail, it's not hard. I predict that eventually all messaging apps will use SMTP under the hood! Xo

It's all about energy. You cannot print energy. Nobody cares about who is in office when they are freezing or starving. And the US is too far away to even be able to trade with Europe with sail ships.

It becomes bad when your customers are combining those softwares in a recursive majority. The only reason incumbants are kept alive is so we can pretend we have a choice. My excuse is it's hard to use a adjective as a verb.

I go one step further, all software I make is developed on Raspberry 2 (2W, JavaSE server) and 4 (7W, C/OpenGL client). That way I don't have to worry about missing any performance beat! Since energy prices are guaranteed to incre

3x is nothing, 10x or 100x and we're talking. The only real bottleneck we're going to have is CPU, so they should compare that. Everytime humans make an improvement we scale up to fill that benefit: https://en.wikipedia
