"2.5 year old laptop" is potentially the most useless way of describing a 64GB M2, as it could be confused with virtually any other configuration of laptop.

nice job, this is also possible to do with indo-european languages, such that many sentences just become instances of a specific language from a generic template!

I will give it to you straight. Is it possible to sell software and make money? Yes, definitely. Does being a solo dev help or hurt that? It almost certainly helps, to be honest. Will people fund you? Probably not very much, but that's

I maintain a Blender fork at my company and Blender quite literally is my paycheck, but I disagree vehemently that it is a well-made FOSS project lol.

Though certain mafia economics would suggest exactly that, I personally am not suggesting it. It's just an extremely interesting possibility that could only be proven with evidence.

Classic mafia racket economics would claim that Cloudflare themselves created the botnet ddos problem so that they themselves could solve it, and now they have the power to do this, especially when governments ask them very sternly to do so

I'm sorry, I have too short of an attention span to attempt to understand the mental gymnastics going on here. I think this guy might like the sound of his own voice.

It turns out that gamers, despite being the people who fund my existence, are not fully rational actors, unless we consider some externality like they are buying games for the mental satisfaction of collecting or something.

This is the fatal mistake you are making. What does the application in question do? Do not mistake the mix of technologies you have used with the problem the code solves. One is a meaningful thing to focus on, and the other is something tha

The fatal flaw in your theory is that Docker, Claude, and whoever else will add an infinite amount of time spent debugging once you have a sufficiently complex problem, which is usually within 1-7 days of using it. Please explain to me how

i went there on mobile and asked two questions. it went pretty well from a UI and response quality perspective. the data they showed me didn't show any obvious trends, but i suspect it's because i didn't specify a long enough

thank you very much for suggesting that and for making it available without a login :)

we would have to look at raw numbers, like, perhaps web tech is just "flat", not declining. but my suspicion without evidence is that the gross number of people in the industry is actually dropping, though it should be increasing.

the funniest thing about this graph is that it proves there was a raw drop off in all popularities in the last 2 years, which of course directly coincides with the great layoffening that has been happening for almost 3 years now. this shows

I don't think the companies should be required to release server executables ever, and yes especially not at release. Let me try to argue against my own point with WoW as an example then. You say there are unofficial/private serve

I completely and thoroughly agree with this suggestion. It shouldn't be a requirement, however. You should reward companies who do this with your money, and it should be clearly labeled that you will or will not be receiving this.
114.
by chickenzzzzu 1y ago
That is a perfectly rational suggestion. It is repulsive that large companies such as my employer do this.

Then this is essentially a formalized buggestion, and what will almost certainly happen is companies will respond back with "Won't Fix"

There is a competitive advantage for being able to hold onto your code and builds. It currently requires quite a lot of effort and skill and persistence to resurrect live service games. This allows us to make money by re-releasing games and

Yes that's right. My opinion is that I am against legislating anything until we legislate everything. Put yourself in the shoes of an employee or owner of some business. Would you enjoy being forced to follow certain rules of actual co

It might be the intention of some game developers. I can tell you however that the intention of the people who run my company is to make as much money as possible. My opinion is that you, as a consumer, should reward the companies who treat

If the only thing that this initiative seeks to achieve is clear and fair labeling when purchasing something, I'm all for it. If in the future, if anyone (including this initiative) requires the release or maintenance of server builds

Let's step through this example. All Xbox games around 2004 were physical CDs. Many had online services attached to them. Eventually, those servers were turned off. You can still play LAN and singleplayer. You still have your access to
