I am saying that old school projects aren't paying the developers' bills because they aren't profitable. The developers realize this too, there is only so much altruism to go around but you got mouths to feed and rents to pa

Another common cause is that the code you were looking at wasn't actually the code you were running. Between "I added this line and then I removed this same line, and now it works", the executable might have been recompiled.

My understanding is that Patreon does not use Google's payment system and isn't subject to a cut of the revenue. This is why the article says "Your prices on the web and the Android app will remain completely unaffected&quot

I didn't even notice that Tarkin was a CG rendition until this post. I thought they did a wonderful job. I remember Rogue One as one of the better Star Wars movies, especially with how they patched up certain holes in other movies whi

Twitter has this algorithm that shows ads based on "interest", but the way it derives "interest" is based on the ads it has shown you, and the ads they show you are mostly garbage. They give you this settings page so th

This codebase sounds like a haunted graveyard[1], where everyone just fixes their local corner of things and avoid the risk of untangling the existing mess. Not needing to conform to some company-wide standard is probably really pleasant wh
