This is only one use case for never. The article goes into a lot more than this. For example using never to create derived types is pretty common.

The article seemed to be lashing out at "overly" designed card such as most modern Toyotas (and I would lump the Supra in there myself). But there are still plenty of clean, conservative, visually simple cars out there. Sadly they

This is also covered in Jobs's biography (which is a great read btw).

I sometimes find code reviews can create a "gap" in the center where neither person fully vets the change. The reviewer thinks "surely the author fully tested it, I'm just added assurance." And the author thinks &qu

If you can return to full productivity two weeks after switching to an Advantage 2 then you are way more skilled than I am :) I'd say I hit about oh 80% proficiency after a couple weeks. It took me many months for the keyboard to be fu

I always felt the Playdate was more competing with things like the Arduboy, Gamebuino, or even the Pico8. A new platform for brand new games that is perhaps retro inspired but not actually retro. I don't really think many people are de

Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo. I'm sure it's hopelessly outdated and irrelevant today. It was one of the first CS books I read and I really dug into and grokked it. I think it played a large role in the develope

Are there any other examples of successful games made by one person? I was going to say Fez, but two people created it. Successful single dev games are exceptionally rare

Windows excels at development if you're using Microsoft tech. Virtually all other tech stacks are at a disadvantage on Windows. WSL and WSL2 were created largely to address this gap.

I am making a level editor for Super Mario Bros 3. My ultimate goal is to fully reverse engineer the game and support all versions (NES, SNES and GBA), which will likely take me years. https://smaghetti.com

Does a great start on PH mean very much? The chances your target audience is there for most products seems very low. I would love to see this data compared to all products/startups in general, but of course that's probably difficu

I agree in general. But at least on the internet I find an incorrect claim will be corrected more often than a question is answered.

I don't have any performance problems and I use Inkscape quite extensively. Although I am using it on Linux. I always got the impression Inkscape and Gimp both work best on Linux. I really like Inkscape quite a bit. But it took a lot o

I just use the pro controller. Other than its lousy dpad it's a solid controller. Granted I always play docked.

My brain really wants/expects 45 degree rotation. Not saying you should add that though, it might make the game too easy. edit: and playing some more I see 45 degrees wouldn't even really work.

I have faith in David Murray. He's got a good track record of pushing things through and seeing them to the end.

You're pulling that out of thin air. You have no idea if that is true. Your logic also says a seven day work week is ideal. But obviously we need to rest. Does 2 or 3 days of rest make us more productive? I honestly don't know. An

That's really where I'm coming from. I'm a software developer so that's the only thing I have any experience with here. I also find I tend to work 24/7 in some capacity. Jumping out of bed to email myself a solution

More study is needed here. Burn out is real, and being able to recover is very valuable. I also have no idea who you are, for all we know I work circles around you or vice versa. But even if what you say is true, so? Why are we so obsessed

I really don't understand the obsession with 40 hours. It's totally arbitrary, especially for knowledge workers. On my contracts I've been taking lately I work 32 hours. It has done absolute wonders for my health. And I have

You joined May 31, 2015, it's on your profile page. FWIW, I have found HN comments and submissions tend to ebb and flow. There are times when I feel the quality goes downhill, but then 3, 6, maybe 12 months later it seems like things g

The one that really got me was now fortune cookies have ads on them. If there is a blank surface, eventually it will be replaced with an ad.

It's just a choice the developer needs to make. It's a pretty straightforward choice too, if the page is just static content, make it static. The ones that do everything at build time don't let you build a site that can be in

When I said no JS I meant React too. See my other comment in this thread.

You don't need to do that, just put this config setting on the page https://github.com/city41/neo-geo-dev-book/blob/main/src/pag... Here is that page: https://neogeobook.mattgreer.de

That isn't a fair assessment. For example Next allows fully static content (no JS at all) all the way to fully dynamic content with a few steps in-between. It's up to the developer to decide which of these they use. This decision
