I think it was back in 2018, there was a bugged mandatory Windows Update package that was corrupted for weeks . The system would ask you to reboot the computer, at which point it would try to install the update. That failed with a bluescre

Google's street directions also fail miserably with international road names. Words are fine, but person names or abbreviations will often use the English pronunciation which can be inexact or even incomprehensible. For example: In Bra

Yes, you're correct, but the ancestor comments kind of implied it being a hope for browsers at large. Bad phrasing from my part too, sorry.

Not nearly complete enough if you want a browser. MAYBE, if you want a browsing engine / "webview".

I use Windows, and there's a third-party application called WindowGrid which is pretty cool to use. It splits your screen space into a configurably dense grid (I use it at 16x9 cells, for example, so they're roughly square), and y

As Gabe Newell said, piracy is a service problem. It was said in the context of video games, but I believe it very much well applies to other parts of the entertainment industry. If people are pirating content, then consuming that content i

Yeah the post was getting a bit long, there are a bunch of similar games to the ones listed, I just used one of each to exemplify each strategy. Core is very similar to Roblox in that the creation tools are rather involved, it tends more to

That is indeed my current conclusion of the least-ethically-bad viable monetization. Purely cosmetic. However, paid status is not really a big hook for single-player games, you need to be able to show it off! This means that the game must b

Economically sustainable and ethical monetization of user-generated-content games. The closest most known example of this kind of game nowadays is Roblox, but I'm thinking of things more like Mario Maker or the older-generation Atmosph

I reiterate the sibling comment about mouse control, either use the actual mouse locking APIs of browsers, or make drag feel like drag. Additionally, I think it would be best if by default you were stuck to standing head height, then you ca

A plea to anyone who wants to do that, I would highly recommend running that kind of thing on the GPU! Looping through all those pixels every frame is ought to hog a lot of UI thread time otherwise, especially with big resolutions!

Indeed, especially with this renewed push for SteamOS. But I suspect it would open them for lots of abuse if it were anything standardized, probably attracting the more dubious subgroup within open-core software or whatnot.

Remember that Steam takes a hefty cut (I believe it's 30%?), if you want to contribute monetarily, consider donating the same amount directly through the Krita website.

Yeah, their layering seems much more intuitive to me, and so powerful, allowing you to build complex multi-pass filters very easily.

I think the article is over-simplifying, I believe most tree-shaking is done at the `import`/`export` boundaries. Code that isn't used locally in a module and is not imported by any other modules is omitted. --- It helps that ther

This game and many others are made using Unity. It uses C# but compiles to web too, and has a very complete (if clunky ) toolset. Importantly, as compared with some of the alternatives, it can be used with very little actual programming, si
