Interesting pointer there but his answer on the issue seems plausible as well. Apparently they were "just fishing for funding": https://twitter.com/PeterDaszak/status/1292819714935271424 I'm not a v

The modding scene for these games is alive and well. FWIW Bethesda keeps updating even Switch Doom with some of the latest mods (Romero’s Sigil, etc). Also check out Ion Fury if you haven’t yet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wi

That's an insightful perspective on the matter. Thanks for sharing. I wish Boeing could revive that old spirit of craftsmanship and safety above everything else.

I'm not sure what you are implying with "too-big-to-fail" specifically? What if, even at a smaller size they manage to "distribute" responsibility enough so there is no one with actual "skin in the game" y

From personal experience in multiple startups I can confirm that with regards to customer service and sales processes AWS is light years ahead of GCP. That said I have heard even better stories about Azure actually - apparently it is yet in

Ultima IV is maybe my most favourite game of all time. I still really liked Ultima VIII. It had a great story and was just very different, which I also respected (IMHO sequel-ism is something that often plagues modern games). This article i

Indeed, a powerful trick out of the manipulator’s playbook. Also thinking of “Death by a thousand cuts”, “slowly boiling a frog”, etc. “Creeping normality (also called gradualism, or landscape amnesia[1]) is a process by which a major chang

It’s likely due to the factors both you and the parent are mentioning – and others – not known or in worst case unknowable.

Yes, at least in financially non-precarious circles there is no good excuse on that front. People spend way more money on way less important things. Threema is literally the price of a latte.

They had some big outages over the last year. I’m therefore still skeptical to bet on them from a “backend” operations reliability standpoint also. To be fair I’m not sure they are doing worse than AWS though when looking into details. I’m

I actually disagree completely. Your answer does not relate to my comment at all. This is about “Apple losing the functional high-ground” (which they clearly had at one point) in terms of design, architecture and general “DX”. All in compar

I feel as if Apple has let down the software industry by “going with the times” in general. A “north star” to lots of designers and engineers from interaction design all the way down to the systems level. Excellent documentation was part of

Good riddance. Better embrace a good ticketing system and go full async. Have an old fashioned call for high-bandwith in-sync issues or just for fun.

Totally agree. SN76489 had a particularly dreamy 8-bit sound (BBC micro also used it AFAIK). Thanks for sharing (never played SMS Ninja Gaiden). I never know if I would have preferred the music of the Yamaha YM2413 FM chip that was availabl
