I think when we generally talk about whether something is "repairable" we're referring to the ease of repair, which translate to the repair being affordable and makes economical sense so people actually do it vs buying a repl

You can just quote everything in YAML and skip the auto-typing. Or if you have a choice of markup language just use XML. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, either use XML and deal with the verbosity or use something else with less mar

The author isn’t using the version from 5 years ago, he use the latest version. The 5 year limit is regarding not having major/breaking changes.

As someone who use Twitter sparingly and turned off all suggestions (there are list of words you can mute for that), it still works just fine. I think people who are social (media) butterflies and/or are opinion leaders on social issue

Console port support for Godot would rely on commercial/proprietary offerings due to the fact that you can’t open source those code (as you have to incorporate vendor code). So that aspect would not be OSS.

Thanks for the insight. So I guess the conclusion is that Unity was fucked pre-IPO?

On the surface that is the case, but once you're a publicly traded company you're beholden to your shareholders, not your customers, so your goals and incentives changes drastically and "bad management decisions" gets ma

The logic that Epic and Unreal Engine will do something similar as Unity doesn't track for me. The argument hinges on the premise that Epic, who operates their own game store and is courting developers aggressively with generous revenu

This is counter-productive, the top brass responsible for this decision will never be close to danger, while normal employees having zero say in this bears the brunt of any harrassments. Just vote with your wallet and switch engines, option

Those forces are not against the website preservation part of IA, only their “digital library” part where they provide access to copyrighted material for free. I seriously doubt even if IA lost a bunch of lawsuits would your archived websit

We have the Internet Archive though, so you’re really just paying for search engine discoverability and… domain name squatting as a dead person. I’d bet that the Internet Archive will last longer than Wordpress as an organization.

Prepaying 100 years to secure your digital legacy hinges on the sad premise that no one else will bother to keep it going. Like a swan song that lasts way too long through sheer financial will.

I feel most people who hate Tailwind never had to deal with the problems it is trying to solve. It does things in a brain dead way to protect you from other people’s idea of cleverness. Also in corporate settings apps and sites don’t follow

Tailwind may be madness, but it’s manageable and maintainable madness. The alternative is not sanity, but simply unmaintainable madness.

It’s not about being cheap, it’s about not wanting a company to own your workflow and not wanting to limit your knowledge and skill to a proprietary product.

I’ve always viewed “free forever” as “we will not sneakily start charging you for it”, not that the price tier itself will be available forever. Because nobody can guarantee the later even if it’s a paid tier, much less a no-cost loss leade

I always find hyper-opininated micro-frameworks like this quite neat as you're seeing exactly how its author thinks. But if I'm going to use a quirky framework, I'd rather use my own.

If you’re a browser user you won’t notice, but as someone who build websites Firefox is noticeably behind other browsers and is the lone holdout that have not rolled out the CSS `:has()`, `@property` and nesting features.

But it does harm free and freemium copyrighted content, because now they don’t just compete with their costlier (but likely better produced) alternatives, but also their pirated copies as well. It basically kill competition and helps big pl

> The flexbox container inside pill2 "hides" the inner text, so pill2 is treated as having no text at all (for layout purposes). This is treated the same as a font having zero height. So the browser aligns a 16px font (or whate

We had it briefly in the form of HTML imports, but the powers that be removed it because it’s not powerful enough for JavaScript/web apps development; totally ignoring the fact that the web isn’t just about apps.

Tailwind, by itself, is more of a DSL than a framework.

It’s an endless balancing act between easy to write (code-like) and easy to read (text-like). Features like table is the ultimate conundrum - if you want beautiful text based tables like in reStructuredText it becomes very difficult to writ

Pretty sure you’re talking about CRT TV’s scanline effect. It leaves gaps in the image for you brain to “fill in the gap” and add perceived detail.

To my eyes, a lot of film sets look too pristine when shot as-is, the grains help to make the sets look a little dirty and worn for that added realism. Alternatively you can paint/airbrush every set piece to add that used/worn loo

They can just make it into a web page, and make all extensions parse that web page instead of a TXT file. A bit ugly, but works.

Because they want to mine until the last second, supposedly there will be a lot less ETH being generated after the merge so each one will be worth more.

If I'm running a company (ha!) and dependent on Figma I'd still be paying for Figma while at the same time sending some funds over to Penpot as an insurance policy.
