Two things which seem concerning with this: the "per install" (as opposed to some percentage of revenue) rubs the wrong way; and that this applies retroactively to games built on Unity even before this was announced. This post doe

The French small arms seem particularly afflicted by this. The Lebel rifle is notable for being the first rifle which used smokeless gunpowder. (This made the bullet much faster; but also didn't reveal the shooter's positions in

I've found it much nicer to use a dongled device than a bluetooth device. With bluetooth, it's super easy to have some combination of devices where something doesn't work. (e.g. with a macbook, leave the bluetooth on &

I think what makes Disco Elysium stand out is how much it encourages playing a quirky character. It's possible to play a "boring cop" or a "sorry cop". But the game portrays that the character you're playing wa

$365 does seem pretty steep. But budget options pretty much demand a variety of skills. DIY boards require soldering, and flashing firmware to the microcontrollers. If a mistake is made when soldering, this can be very difficult to diagnose

It's understandable if some people would prefer a larger layout. I wouldn't argue people should be using smaller keyboards. It's "I don't mind moving my hand to hit the key" vs "I don't mind holding

I think retaining the number row and the outer pinky column makes it more accessible; but I find it odd the design then also removes the lower row of modifier keys, and only gives two thumb keys each. It's good to use the thumbs more t

These small keyboards trade-off the benefit of "bring all the keys within easy reach of the hands" at the cost of a more complicated layout. The intent is "be able to press F1-F12 without having to move hands so far from home

Reusable modules of code involve implementation and the interface. If you just write out an implementation without thought for how others are to use it, there's a risk that you'll end up with an interface that's more complex

It's bizarre to me that the big spacebar remains a standard feature on keyboards. It would be better for the thumbs to be able to use e.g. backspace, enter, escape, tab. And unlike those other features, there's no downside to maki

I had learned touch-typing (for a non-qwerty layout), so using a keyboard where the keys are in columns isn't so difficult. I suspect it's difficult for the "quick hunt-and-peck", where your fingers can quickly hunt down

Recall, the Dockerfile syntax is 'imperative'. If we change the order of the commands in the Dockerfile, we likely end up with a different image. In the Nix example, the image we build is in the expression `nix2container.buildImag
