   I think the analogy is kind of shaky. The board tried to end the CEO, but employees fought them and won. I've been in companies where the board won, and they installed a stoolie that proceeded to drive the company into the ground. Anyb

   The Board is another one, if you're CEO.

   I love turtling. I hate that the prevailing strategy seems to be always be on the offense and micro eighty million stupid little things. esports and APS have ruined competitive RTS play. Turtling lets me build up my base and economy and nur

   I really hope Altman doesn't return to his role. It is nice to see some people showing some spine and standing up to business interestes. "Open"AI is and was a lie for the longest time.

   Screw that, everyone is afraid of 1000 vs 1000 unit battles. This is what I want! Total Annihilation and its ilk balance that by having the commander unit, which is game-over if lost. There are a lot of really underhanded tactics one can em

   Personally I don't like how games feel when they are hitting sub-30FPS. Nothing to do with action or reflexes, everything just lags. Games, especially, should feel snappy at the least.

    Of course it would. Capitalists scurry when sunlight is shined on them, much like cockroaches. People are not businesses, we do not exist to generate money for shareholders. The logic does not apply. Quite the opposite: business serves cust

    I want to know if it could be less but for "fees", and there should be a mandatory amount of transparency in all pricing. Opaque pricing is anti-customer. I especially love it when business types tell me what I should be caring ab

    Nice that you must have an absolutely baller system to play it on. Most aren't so lucky

    As an end customer I want to know when I am being swindled with unnecessary fees. As a business owner you want to hide them. So yeah, there's plenty of reasons. Oh no, a long receipt. Won't somebody think of the ... ignorant peopl

    > hyperliterally focusing on the exact words used. Business communication is never, ever forthright. These people cannot be blunt to the public even if their life depended on it. Reading between the lines is practically a requirement.

    I was drawn to the prospect of having a single EXE and having it run as native code On graalvm 20 I even got it to compile, but there were issues drawing/loading swing components

    I outlined my issues in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38266151 Someone suggested switching the JVM to hotspot and using jlink/jpackage, I am going to give that a shot

    I am really flexible in terms of a toolkit's ergonomics. But I am running into situations where things just straight up don't work (Java/graalVM), or that I need to implement some really basic interaction and there is no guid

    I hate that we are completely enamored with browsers. Desktop apps and browser webapps are different platforms, with different methodologies and motifs. I hate hate hate it when a desktop app looks and acts like a web app.

    pySide6 has been a dream for me, it 'just works' and QT is quite robust. I am currently fucking with Java via GraalVM, and packaging my app for distribution has been absolute hell: jlink throws errors. jpackage somehow gets stuck

    I forgot to mention that I was referring to Avalonia, but when I tried to write something relatively simple beyond the music-player demo app, I got lost in the weeds extremely quickly. Avalonia needs a lot of work on its documentation, ther
