If the only type of scarcity is artificial scarcity does it hold its value the way something that has true scarcity does?

Congratulations! I'm going through a similar phase myself spurred on by the pandemic (games are, after all, why I started programming in the first place). I'm continuously amazed by how complex even simple games can be, especially

This may not be age appropriate depending on your kid, but the (free) CS50 course for games from Harvard [1] is outstanding and accessible to someone with a beginner level of experience. It's not as intro level as something like Scratc

The only people I see excited for "web3" (which I believe has become a blanket term for the metaverse, NFTs, and other crypto schemes) are those carving out real estate there for themselves in order to become future landlords.

Platform loyalty in gaming has always struck me as an odd phenomenon. You don't hear people raving about netflix or hulu being superior, but for some reason there is a huge fanbase for Steam itself. I mean, I don't mind steam, but

Why would that matter?

I don’t think the distinction between framework and library matters that much. People choose between react or angular (or others).

I know you're entirely right, but sometimes when I see things like this in Typescript... https://github.com/sindresorhus/type-fest/blob/main/source/r... I can walk through it with enough pause,

Just curious - what's a popular non-RPG MMO?

Entirely. Almost seems like word play to soften the blow of critical headlines.

I find dependency arrays to be neither intuitive or easy to debug. When you're missing a parameter or use the wrong one React can emit some pretty weird side effects that are hard to track down back to the dependency array. I generally

The original intention of the web was to make hypertext documents available to people - PDF is just as valid of a format for this purpose as HTML is. Perhaps more inaccessible but certainly not antithetical to the web.

If you implement it on the frontend you lose all the builtin navigation behavior that the browser gives you natively when loading pages. You instead get to build all that behavior yourself in places where you think it should exist using you

Didn't say it was trivial. But that's what users expect: a reasonable right to data privacy.

When did "deleted" become a vague term? Deleted means removing as much PII as you reasonably have authority to do so. It means purging all that data from all databases with a guarantee that you will be removed completely from all

The former can become the latter pretty easily though and without any consent through both illegal (hacking) and legal (company acquisition) ways. Corporate surveillance very much is a part of the problem and you can't talk about one w

It was the same wikipedia link that you cited. Even using your songmeanings.com link it doesn't appear that the common interpretation is satirical in nature.

So, in this fictitious world where IRC is a stable protocol and easy enough for the average layperson to use, who pays for the IRC server bills and how?

Yes it is - and it's worthwhile to read bawolffs well written explanation of how exactly it could be exploited. Downplaying security vulnerabilities of this sort is precisely how database leaks happen.

I don't think it's quite that cut and dry - it appears to only be using data already available to the player. If anything it seems like a training queue to notice the information that's already present instead of passing it o

JSX (React's default markup language) expects all tags to be closed, and self closing tags are valid. If you spend a significant time writing React apps (with JSX) then it becomes pretty second nature to write self closing tags. It&#x2
