You're not really going to get away from large binary files in game development. They need to be version controlled somehow. Adding more layers of indirection for how that actually happens is just kicking merge vs file locking can down

Merge conflicts are definitely not the same thing as file locking. At the point where you're getting a merge conflict, it's too late. How are you going to resolve conflicts in an audio file? File locking is a way to communicate i

by cweagans 7y ago
Perforce has a locking mechanism for files, which is important for the large binary objects that are used in game development. Git doesn't really have that concept, so it requires more out of band communication to make it work for that

"Available" and "available by default" are two different things, and GP didn't claim the latter.

I don't see that as much of a problem. The vast majority of Macbooks are going to be single user machines anyway. If you really need multi-user support, multiple users on one machine can always install brew to their home directory ( ht

Standing desk is a must, IMO. Also, something that will remind you to switch from sitting to standing and/or vice versa. For me, switching more regularly is more beneficial than just standing or just sitting all the time. I also starte

I stopped by my local Apple store today to try out one of the new keyboards, and I was _really_ surprised with how nice it felt. It's physically not a lot of key travel, but it _feels_ like it is sort of in the same way that the trackp

I really like the new super ultrawides (32:9 instead of 21:9). I picked up one of these earlier this year and have not been disappointed: https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-49WL95C-W-ultrawide-monito...

Alternatively, you could roll up your sleeves and add support for whatever obscure OS you want to Electron and then have an entire world of apps available to you. Mediocre and working > not existing

yadm. It's a very thin wrapper around git with a couple of quality of life improvements (like being able to have encrypted files + the ability to execute a bootstrap script on the first pull of your dotfiles).

I'm definitely not advocating for the backup client to be used on servers -- that's definitely not the right fit. I would be 100% okay with a backblaze client checking for X or wayland or something that would otherwise indicate th

B2 isn't really a solution for people that are looking for a robust computer backup service like Backblaze currently offers for Mac and Windows. I went down that road and ended up very frustrated. I ended up buying a Synology NAS (whic

I wouldn't say they're "deregulated" in the US. There are still a number of rules that pilots have to comply with (for instance, no commercial use, limited fuel capacity, limited areas where flight is allowed, etc). Sure

My point is that if "infrastructure as code" is your sole requirement, Kubernetes doesn't seem like the first choice. Adopting Kubernetes is not a small task, but it seems to be the go-to answer for a lot of the HN crowd. Don

There are lots of tools that give you "infrastructure as code". Why is Kubernetes special?
