If your focus is programming, work with someone who is good at design. Don't expect to just be able to read some books and independently pull off interesting and innovative game design that will be commerically successful, unless you a

Doors with crash bars are kind of that. If there's too many people, they'll push up against them and force them open.

Anyone playing games would benefit from higher frame rate no matter their case. Of course it's most critical for competitive gamers, but someone playing a story driven FPS at 4k would still benefit a lot from framerates higher than 60.

Neat tech but people might mistake this as being useful for game development, where it'll be less helpful than useless. Games are about interactions, and this actively works against it. You don't want the model to infer mechanics,

The bookmark feature is genius. Using the piano keys as the UI for the device.

> Even small violations of continuity seem like they'd be observable server-side, no? I've not studied this, but presumably clients must be constantly phoning home with their position. Jumps in position are not always illegal:

That's only looking at western audiences. In 2020, Tencent said that the cheating market in China is worth $293M annually [1]. In China there are many individual games making billions in annual revenue. PUBG bans over a hundred thousan

This thread is full of armchair developers who see a problem and immediately think, "Oh, it's easy, just do this simple thing I just thought of," as is there haven't been billions of dollars and decades of research spent

Good players are statistical outliers. False positives are hard to avoid with this kind of approach.

"All cheats can be trivially solved server side, as long as I exclude all games I don't like, which are also the games where the problem is hardest to solve and most relevant to the discussion."

It's not teleporting that's hard to deal with, it's aimbots and wall hacks. You have to trust the client with enemy position information that it shouldn't be able to see yet, and trust their shot position inputs. Also, c

It does the normal thing instead: using a legal system to define and enforce ownership and control.

What's Typora? What's GTD? What's KOL? What's KOC? I don't know what any of those things are. I can deduce this is some kind of productivity tool, which I'm interested in, but it it's marketed in a way tha

I think people who are successfully using it to write code are just chaining APIs together to make the same web apps you see everywhere.

But what exactly is a "task"? It still seems like an arbitrary unit.

The machine argument makes sense to me. It shifts the blame from the machine creators to the machine users. A copying machine creator is not responsible for misuse of the machine, nor is it illegal to simply Xerox a copyrighted work. Distri

What I want with a new git is first class support for large binary files. It's essential in game dev, and the best solution seems to be git lfs, which has its own problems.

Just from an energy perspective, I'm pretty sure HFT uses many orders of magnitude less energy than bitcoin mining.

I like it but it's not collaborative, so it's not in the same category for me.

I like Obsidian but I don't consider it to be the same type of category as Notion, since it's not collaborative.

Being able to quickly make new pages and see the hierarchy on the side panel is the feature I really need that doesn't seem to exist outside of Notion-likes.
