[edit: oliver used wall of text. Was it effective?] No need to get defensive, no one is arguing that rust doesn’t do a lot of things well. They’re saying that a lot of the restrictions makes things much harder than other languages. Hence t

Objective-c++ is used extensively, it’s just not covered in most discussions of objc because then you’re having to explain the exciting interaction between it objc object semantics and C++’s. Eg the complexity skyrockets. The biggest public

Why would we expect it to be significant? Apple is not the largest deployer of ARM chips, and they don't use ARM's CPU designs, only the ISA. This is before we get to the whole "apple was a founding partner of ARM and has a m

Because rust has no real c++ migration story. Apple has been putting a lot of work into swift/c++ interop specifically to support migration from c++ to swift. Rust seems utterly uninterested in supporting gradual migration of C++, whic

The whole problem is employers abusing employees by firing without any reason, and using the threat of firing employees if they complain. That is used to force employees to accept unsafe and illegal working conditions, because if you'r

Anything from wadjet eye games is worth playing. That said I feel the conflation of “demo+upgrade to full game” and “‘free’ game with unending pay to play” in the iOS App Store at least is miserable. If I see an app that says “in app purcha

AppKit (or swiftui I guess) is fairly simple. IB makes having a correctly behaving UI super easy - far more so than jumping through CSS hoops, and your app will behave correctly on macOS, which electron apps do not. Electron apps are only

Thanks for the answer that’s what I was curious about, and yeah that does kind of make it seem reasonable to me tbh. “You get to use our download and syncing infrastructure but not pay us anything for that” is a good deal.

you literally replied with "Does shaming people about their sexual hygiene ..." I did not mention their hygiene, sexual or otherwise. If you 1. Have multiple sexual partners 2. Don't get regular STI tests you are in the wrong

Yeah a lot of the badness of UB in C and C++ is stupid and has no place in the language. UB should be reserved for cases where there is no definable outcome, and everything else should be unspecified or implementation defined. Things like o

I'm not critiquing their personal hygiene, I'm critiquing their refusal to take basic steps to protect their partners. If you want to sleep with different people on a regular or semi-regular basis, you should be getting STI checks

Ah so it’s the mechanism you’d use if you made a game and wanted to let people buy directly from your own site (say) without just saying “look for us on steam!”? If you sell the steam key yourself do you manually pay valve or is that “free”

It remains absurd that corporations can do this shit (PayPal does this a lot, I recall various other articles over the years for other companies as well), and there are no consequences. Delayed payment should have mandatory penalties along

Yeah, I subsequently saw that restriction in other comments, and that seems to significantly impact how "reasonable" the complaint is. The problem is I'm unclear what part of steam "steam keys" are for - some commen

The point is you can charge less in other avenues. The claim appears to be that steam does not let you do that, the equivalent would be apple saying you must pay the 15/30% cut on our store but you also can’t sell for a lower price on

by olliej 3y ago
The problem is not the 30%, the problem is that you apparently can’t sell on steam for a higher price than you do on other market places (or directly): e.g steam is abusing its market position to get a higher royalty payment because from th

Given what information has progressively come out this could also just be a reasonable response to a train wreck of incompetence. E.g on the 19th they could reasonably still believe that the board had some legitimate cause, but every day th
