I would assume this also applies to corporate projects as well. Perfect example: There are 2 Plex alternatives I know of that sort of fit this mold. One is called Emby that started as open source and turned into a closed source commercial p

The one improvement modern Windows has over Windows from the 90s is the lack of those godawful cascading menus that would disappear off the screen the second you even slightly missed a hover target. I do not miss those at all.

What does this have to do with anything? Shipping something on Android does not guarantee functional builds for regular Linux, and PlayStation uses a heavily customized FreeBSD fork. Neither of which are helpful for much of anything.

I think Stadia failed because of a combo of reasons. Main 2 being: 1) Google. 2) Their pricing model made no sense. Geforce NOW (NVIDIA's Stadia) works a lot better IMO, and doesn't require you go through them to acquire games. It

I used this library in a thing I was working on years ago. Ended up ripping it out, it caused no end of crashes and bugs. Hopefully its more stable now.

I majored in CS and minored in Math (graduated in 2013) as someone who both struggled with math and was not the biggest fan of it. My biggest problem was simply caring about the subject matter. None of the instructors I've ever had for

Never seen people make such a huge deal out of nothing like this before. Like this is borderline ridiculous. Its soo much easier to not get banned from something than is to. Literally just don't be an idiot. Its not that hard.

Kinda think that you celebrating being wasteful is proving his point. In my mind writing performant, somewhat efficient code does nothing but improve the UX, and if you actually care about your users having a good experience using your soft
