Oh well let me help you out! Edison publicaly electrocuted elephants in an attempt to paint AC, his competitor, in a negative light. He also colluded with other light bulb makers on the planned obsolescence of light bulbs. Ford wrote the In

He's a folk hero in game dev at this point.

by fezfight 4y ago
Yeah, time will tell. Ford and Edison probably lived similar lives. Their legacies are tarnished by their abuse now.

Zuckerberg is probably the guy who will get figuratively crucified for the abusive shit Facebook did. Which is why it's crazy someone bright would be like, 'oh me too!' I assume he sees it differently. I'd like to unders

Interesting, thank you, I'll look that up.

If you ask me, his reputation was the thing that was sacrificed when he joined Facebook. His legacy is now: He was a brilliant pioneer in the first half of his career. Then he helped normalize and sustain an ethically dubious company. I car

And thus it always should? No. Carmack could apply his genius elsewhere, but he chose not to. I'd like to hear him explain why.

Sure but the question isnt how did he decide to fortify a successful company with his reputstion, but an unethical one. Successful does not mean ethical. They're so unrelated as to be orthogonal.

by fezfight 4y ago
Yeah. C'est la vie. Glad for his contributions over the years to open source.

Facebook is dying, so it seems less important now, but I'd have liked to hear in his own words how he felt supporting a company with such questionable ethics.

What's with the weird license? Where's the code? Looks cool, otherwise.

The article is literally about them successfully locking out their competitors and moving in on those billions for themselves.

Sure. Not a lot of learning going on during exams, I'm afraid.

by fezfight 4y ago
Feels more like their standard move, lock out competitors so they can control it for their own profit. Not that I mind them fucking with advertisers, but let's not pretend Apple is benevolent here.

What a lovely story, thank you for sharing.

That describes my entire education.

We grew up in the burbs. Everyone was into music. Just never heard this song. Not all songs go everywhere, eh. For example, as a Canadian, most Americans I met at the time had never heard of the once most popular band in Canada - The Tragic

Similarly, with a slight twist, a prof I had used to recommend we read the entire text book, not just the chapters required for the class. It was an open book exam so people figured they could annotate the pages or whatever and didn't

Right? OP is victim blaming here. I'm swamped because my manager manages based on hopes and dreams.

by fezfight 4y ago
I'm 40 and I've never heard it, nor have the 4 people sitting around me. We were all in Ontario when this song was apparently popular. We were all massively into music at the time.

I dunno about you, but I'd prefer it all just work via Firefox, so assuming that's functioning, you'd have my business.

If you don't mind dark magic, you can use SpaceVim to get that IDE feeling with Vim.

Will power comes from the brain, too. We are lucky that wasn't the part that she needed to relearn.

This especially true since this is a FOSS tool so there's no need to ship product bumps to sell units or anything like that. They can just release stuff when its ready.

Does Godot's implenetation of C#/.net include the .net temeletry? https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/14556

Can you verify that or are you just taking their word?

Yes. Do you remember snowden and prism? Not just the police.

While I a mostly agree with you, you're ignoring network effects. People being forced to use it for work, or whatever, because they won't interoperate with other clients. Siloing is bad.
239.
by fezfight 4y ago
Just in case it isn't clear, I wouldn't have called you reactionary or paranoid back then because I would have agreed with you. Its just sad that others choose not to open their eyes.

A lot of people don't like negativity so strongly that they'd rather be screwed over than have to consider the possibility that something bad is happening.
