It's very limiting, and for many other reasons than the lack of a package registry. My advice is to not lose time with it and go straight to C#, unless your projects are throwaway game jam entries.

It's a very bad thing if in real life, everyone has to be in illegality in order to function. This is when the rule of law loses meaning and becomes a mere weapon to be used by those in power.

The problem with this kind of regulation is that it stifles entrepreneurship with unfair financial burden. If the quality level of YouTube auto-generated CCs is considered passable, then don't you think tax money would be better invest

This hits the nail on the head. Language is very fuzzy: with a long-form article an idea can be refined to a point where an attentive reader will have no doubt about the author's take. With a >280 characters sound bite, the range of

Not just hotels, any small shop may be able to take care of it for you, provided you have enough charisma points. I've done this many times while traveling.

The problem is the market isn't efficient, and the middlemen (Uber, DoorDash, ...) are getting an outsized share of the revenue relative to their only essential contribution which is (automated) organization. They are only able to comm

The downside of TabNine is that it removes predictability. With regular completion, semantic or not, if I have a long function name I can reliably write a couple letters of it and get the completion without even having to look at the sugges

Does that also happen if Firefox is closed when you launch Chrome ? I ask because for a long while I had a bug where launching Chromium while Firefox is running would show similar symptoms, on top of freezing Firefox. This didn't happe

There's a huge area of seemingly obvious user-centric products that don't exist simply because there isn't a working business model to support it.

Permissioned networks are a very much easier setting to design a consensus protocol for than public ones. Describing a consensus algorithm as "Proof of Stake" simply means it uses some kind of stake to secure its decisions, this d

A Proof of Stake consensus for a public blockchain like Ethereum has different requirements and is substantially harder to execute than for a permissioned network.

Cryptocurrency ICOs showed venture funding could be innovated on way more fundamentally than "tweaking a formula". The simple ICO model may arguably have been largely misused, but it kickstarted a lot of promising research and exp

The article makes pretty much the same arguments he made in his 2010 book "The Rational Optimist"[1]. Although I mostly agree with the overall message, I have the same qualms with this article as I did with the book, namely the al

Ironic indeed, but then the blog itself doesn't use React, the slowdown most likely comes from some utility library[1]. The advice in the article may not be discredited, but this shows that learning basic profiling should come before o

More precisely, always have a backup plan. Nothing wrong with running on GCP if you're using it in a platform-abstract way (either by using it as a simple hosting provider, or by going through a layer like the "serverless" fr

Nice work. I'm wondering since this project seems to use its own nicely modularized GUI library, what motivated you in particular to write your own instead of using an existing Rust GUI library/game engine ? And would you make the
