The snes to N64 jump to me is definitely the biggest. It wasn't just graphics, the gameplay completely changed too. By the end of the snes era I had grown out of games due to endless platforms and 2d fighters (I was 13ish). I was 16 b

On the using AI assistants I find that everything is moving so fast that I feel constantly like "I'm doing this wrong". Is the answer simply "dedicate time to experimenting? I keep hearing "spec driven design"

I was going to ask the same thing. I'm self taught but I've mainly gone the other way, more interested in learning about lower level things. Bang for buck I think I might have been better reading DDD type books.

I'm sorry that just comes across as unprofessional, weak and passive aggressive. If someone started doing that on my team I'd take it as part of the case against them not a reason to fight to keep them. Also presumably that's

Do you mean the later levels are bigger and more confusing in black mesa? Genuine question, as I own both versions and don't know which to play.

I sort of agree with you. But the sentiment reminds me of the hacker news dropbox launch response. Which was pretty much "pfft! I could set all this up myself with a NAS xyz". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8

This is an odd coincidence, I went back to Linux recently because win 11 driving me nuts. Unfortunately I've got two problems that just seem unsolvable. Unstable wifi network connection and temporary image retention if I use variable r

Slightly related, if like me you have gone far to far down the emulation rabbit hole and find that you are now onto FPGA emulation, you might enjoy: https://0mhz.net/ https://amiga.vision/ I really want to

ROG Ally X vs. ROG Xbox Ally X. Also, it is possibly the worst console name of all time. I don't even know what Xbox is now, is it a service, is it a console, I'm not even joking really. Also visual studio code Vs full fat visual

One of my main problems with all of this is "what counts as social media". It's a stupidly broad term. Email? SMS? Forums?

Can someone explain what he is actually suggesting? What $300B he is talking about, and on what it will be invested in instead. Also why is he wearing sunglasses?

What did you think about the point in the article suggesting millions of people dying on South America caused the earth to cool down due to reforestation absorbing more green house gas. I find this hard to believe.

I haven't made any assumptions at all, reread what I said, then reread the replies. First one is a personal attack about being libertarian (an assumption), second one starts off as an attack too. I expressed a preference, in a light he

I "belong" to a society? That suggests that a group owns me. Hrm I'm probably nit picking, but the idea of a society owning me isn't something I agree with. Also I'm free to leave.
