Agreed, that's generous. TFA also states Valve still makes $15m/employee p.s. thanks so much for hnreplies.com, Dan! It dramatically increased the utility of HN for me. Your creation is fantastic.

Where does all the money go if it isn't being reinvested into the business? Are the massive profits immediately syphoned out by the execs and owners? It's interesting there isn't a well-known real competitor to Steam (the Bl

Great article, wish I could go out for a night on the town with the author, I feel like they're pretty darn fun and intelligent. The cute expandable explanations are just the bee's knees, and also useful. I felt like I was playin

It's interesting how much the Amiga GUI looks like early Macintosh OS. What's up with that? Pretty cool. https://lyonsden.net/wordpress_s/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/...

It's not about proving anything, I still find it informative knowing which platform a specific implementation or solution is based on. Seen any screen sharing apps written in Erlang/Elixir lately? Such a contraption would be hig

Yeah, you are correct! I was confused, somehow I thought it was a 5-1/4" drive until I came back to it this morning. I'm glad this has been downvoted, I even appreciate if it got flagged to death, because it was a dumb mista
