I didn't call Dave a legend (though that term is completely subjective). I just said he isn't an idiot who uses AI to look clever. What you're failing to realise is that different people write content for different audiences.

I'm not flooding HN with such comments though. I replied to one criticism and then experienced a backlash for it. I get the hate for GenAI is high. Many of you are scared for your jobs and AI has caused a seismic shift in society. But

Dave (the guy in that video) is an older timer Microsoft engineer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Plummer He definitely isn't an idiot who depends on AI to look smart.

If it's interesting then it's not spam. And why should you care if AI was utilized or not if you found it interesting? Dave (from that video) is an experienced engineer after all. The worst part of GenAI seems not to be AI slop (I

Sega are famously far less litigious than most games companies. They know about modders, community servers (for example PSO servers) and even fans who release brand new games using Sega mascots like Sonic. In fact (IIRC) that’s how Sonic Ma

The genre is called “shoot ‘em up” or “shmup” for short. And there our thousands of entires in that genre. R-Type wasn’t the inventor of the genre and it’s far from the last entry in it too.

This isn’t “mega drive style”, this is a Mega Drive game that is also available on other systems. Working to the limitations of 16-bit consoles to produce a modern-feel of game play is something that cannot be vibe coded.

I cannot comment because why this made it to the front page, but new releases are still common for retro consoles. In fact you’d be surprised just how many games are still released for the 8 and 16 bit era machines.

Yeah I’m not surprised by that. TinyGo might leverage LLVM but it still has all of the Go conveniences that would make it benchmark slower compared to C and Rust. Though I’m sure that gap could be closer if TinyGo had the same level of inve

Some VPN providers don't even have exit nodes in the country they're claiming. Instead they'll have their IPs registered to the respective countries in GeoIP databases. This isn't a practice all VPN providers partake in.

What are they defining as an operation system? It’s a term that has fuzzy edges as a technical term, and given laws are usually piss poor at defining technical terms, I can’t see it being well defined in CA law.
