Building an engine from scratch cannot be the hard part. It’s not complicated. Iterating on all the things that make the game fun is hard, and making all the ”content” in a game like Stardew Valley is very time consuming.

QT I can see how it is disturbing. Swift I can not see how it would bloat anything for end users. It’s just another compiled language.

Sure. But that’s another discussion than the one about balance in nature.

The vast majority of the human race plays just fine with nature. It is the extremely few extremely rich humans that are abusing nature.

That seems like the most useless pattern to take from make, especially when you name your tool ”just”. Just what?

You can sell it as an NFT. That way it is still unique but you can pass it along.

Them you really have no idea what you are running. Why include test cases at all?

Did you write the test cases?

Someone will trip on the mistake and report the bug and you fix it.

The further we get past the year 2000 the more clear it becomes that all the pre-2000 memes of 2000 being the future were right, and not much happened in the west in terms of quality of life or daily conveniences or productivity since 2000.

What are the advantages this provides that specifically apply to working with visual end results? There is one kind of iterative work I can see nodes/graphical coding have a great advantage: when you don’t know what you really want to

This is actually great. If we can get only AIs to take meetings we can save a lot of work in offices. Zoom has the same dream: https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/3/24168733/zoom-ceo-ai-clone... Eventually w

I have only seen this problem in elder devs. Some people simply seem to believe they are selected by god to hand out their frameworks for poor juniors to be forced to work inside. Sometimes they are just a founding engineer, they were the o

What parts of the eco system? I never dove into it but when I spent two days at work in 2021 on a hackathon to make “something anything” with “AI” it was very hard to just google and figure things out (with no prior knowledge and no time).

Does it not always have a list of all the moves in the game always at hand in the prompt? You have to give this human the same log of the game to refer to.

Never attribute to respect or sincerity that which can be adequately explained by contractual terms.

It’s a bit weird that NASA are doing the research. In the next century dozens of corporations bigger than most countries of Earth will be up in space mining millions of tons of gold and other rare materials, tax free anywhere. It seems they

It will become the headache of future team members that have to debug it when it inevitably crashes four years in the future, or needs to be rebuilt or the deployment moved. Now personally I am fine with this, being that person. I will caus

Yes indeed. But you still have to put your stuff out there to test it. All code is a cost. Features are what users pay for. There is scarcely objectively good code. One person’s smooth is another person’s rough. Deliver stuff. Act on user f

Erlang is not strongly typed and cross compiling apps with native dependencies is not straightforward. Running it on WASM is not common (is it possible?). It does not have a comprehensive standard library like Go. It is compiled though.

What’s the point of a comment listing numbers like this? Have you looked at what the owners of the New York Times make and compared that to the average “newspaper owner” in the US?

Yes. Lifetimes are complicated. Complicated codes make them even harder. Not annotating is not making anything easier.
