I agree. What I find unfortunate is that most single player games are now designed to be incredibly grindy: the developers want player retention so there’s more buzz about the game, resulting in more purchases. I’m in my mid thirties, and I

By this reasoning, if anyone asks you how you feel about someone you love/respect/admire/etc, you should refuse to speak of any significant qualities they posses. “Hey, I haven’t met your wife/husband yet, but if they’re

Depending on what part I touch, a recompile is 20 to 60 seconds. This is a project at work — an HTTP server that runs some stuff on an interpreted language we’ve developed in-house. Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying nonetheless.

If the false memories are constrained to sentiment, then I think it could be alright. I’ve become quite disillusioned with many things over the years; this disillusionment only serves to bum me out. If I could rewrite some of the few pivota

Speaking from my experience: The problem isn’t interruption, it’s how someone interrupts. I have been in many meetings over my career where the loudest person speaks very authoritatively about something they don’t understand, resulting in

WASI is just a set of standardized interfaces that any WASM host can implement. So while there’s no WASI out of the box on browsers, there’s nothing preventing you as a developer from bringing your own implementation (in which, for example,

FWIW, I read their quoting of C.S. Lewis as supporting precisely the viewpoint C.S. Lewis was intending — and the very same as you make a case for throughout this thread. Though I’ll admit I could be wrong. However, applying Occam’s razor:
