That's fair: calling it a "non-goal" is an overstatement. How about: the least-valued of all goals?
152.

I suspect that the community is overall quite happy with increased adoption being a non-goal. That is, it does not need to shift to an engineering-mindset because it does not value the consequences of that shift.

Your interpretation of my comment is so far from my intent that I must conclude that I have failed to communicate effectively.

Projects dedicated to the preservation and modest enhancement of existing games is even more illustrative of the vague point I'm attempting to gesture towards.

I would suggest that the vast majority of commercial games still trend very heavily towards the "done" model. Maybe a few patch releases over a year or two, but nothing like the Open Source model where the energy invested is const

That is also an interesting attribute, and for similar sociological reasons.

by catach 4y ago
To clarify my meaning: a game is never declared "done", with the apparatus of the project moving on to create a new game.

by catach 4y ago
An interesting thing about Open Source game projects is that, if successful, they only ever work on that one game.

I'd agree that it's an overall failed analogy because people here are being distracted by the intensity signal, but I still see it as a good analogy for the purposes of illustrating the mechanism.

by catach 4y ago
Consider that the analogy is intended to illustrate the mechanisms at play, and not the import.

I assume: a soft fork would have a commitment to interoperability, or a future expectation of merging together again.

I expect that erlang is still significantly more popular than zig.

Ah, thanks for the correction. What an embarrassing bug.

> Apple Music would not allow me to search for a song in my own library Yeah, absurdly the Search field on the left just queries stores. To find your own music you have to activate the Filter field, option is in the View menu. Also absur

I would expect that even mediocre annual upgrades wouldn't actually be a short-term business failure, as the vast bulk of sales are probably 3+ year upgrades. It would be a marketing failure though, and sustained would translate into a

Regarding Go, I'd say playing fast games on a 9x9 board is a good way to build confidence in understanding.

Most would certainly want a phone, but the borders one crosses and the government policies around those crossing may disincentivize bringing your personal phone.

They do preface with: "It is not an exact science. It is not there to pigeonhole people or to be an excuse for bad behavior. It is just a useful framework for understanding yourself and others a little better. And the better you unders

I believe that the article agrees with you, and is arguing for a narrower claim.

Yeah, the Trackpad section in Settings is absolutely fantastic at teaching these options. Thanks for reminding me about it. My problem has been kinda the opposite: I trigger the notification center by accident too often. So this was enough

Yeah, I'm pretty new to the ecosystem and I frequently have a nagging feeling that I should do a deep dive into documentation and guides just to catch up. Especially when it comes to wrangling Finder.

A modern MS Word document is pretty much zipped XML and mostly ISO standard-compliant.

All value judgments are inherently subjective. The problem is that we don't have an easy term for "apparently near-universal consensus" which is what people tend to mean when calling value judgments objective.

Yeah, keeping stat sharing outside of the app serves as user-generated marketing. I think that counts more as a feature for the dev than the user, though.
