I think it's great that you're not hyping it, and hope you don't until it's close to ready. That said, even though I am not an MMORPG player, I'd be interested in seeing it.

Those are all good examples, and ouch... Honestly, if you wrote a blog post about what you think our industry needs, I would read it. I think you have a lot to say about it.

That post is excellent and is now in my bookmarks. I'm glad I asked for clarification because when you mentioned licensing, I first thought that you meant things like software licenses. Now, I know you mean things like engineer license

That is true, as far as I can tell, but I would bet that the three letter agencies kept up their spying anyway.

Author here. You say that almost no one "needs" exemptions from COVID precautions. Define "needs". The truth is that vaccine passports were labeled a conspiracy theory a year ago. Now, they are real. We are already slipp

So I have heard. Unfortunately, I can't afford the complexity of server/client databases in this context. :(

I have no hope it will work. I know it won't. But so far, you all have been nice. Edit: On second thought, I decided to remove that. Thank you for showing me that I should.

That second link is a good one, thank you! Yeah, I was aware of non-fallacious usage in Wikipedia, but people seem to ignore that. You are correct, though.

Thank you for this. I am writing a compiler, and I have never thought about this before. I'll make sure my compiler can do this. Any format you have a preference for?
