When Kojima announced Death Stranding 2, he joked about rewriting the entire thing after the pandemic because he was trying to avoid predicting the future again. The guy has some kind of super power it seems. Metal Gear Solid 2 was especia

So this isn't replacing the main implementation? They just funded a new project written in Rust that is compatible?

I love fish. Switch from ZSH+Prezto to just plain Fish and I'm not missing anything and it's way faster. All the servers have bash and I still write bash scripts, but for day-to-day terminal stuff it's Fish all the way for

We have developers of various experience and skillsets that come and go, sticking to a subset of language features with minimal magic has made it easier to onboard and get people productive. We have massive codebase, and sprinkling these n

Super Mario is also a kids game and those games run flawlessly with nice graphics and innovative gameplay. Kids like to play good games too.

Don't you just level up as high as possible in bioware or bethesda games? Not what I would consider "minmaxing". Skyrim is fun because I can get everything to 100 at whatever pace I choose but there is no "min" in

As a lifelong rubyist, this is definitely what I would say "useless". Maybe it's just because I've been stuck in Ruby 2.6 ~~hell~~ land for so long but I remember seeing a colleagues leetcode challenge for a job intervi

Minmaxing in almost any game is excruciatingly unfun though, it's not unique to Pokemon. I can't think of a faster way to kill the enjoyment of any game than to try to minmax.

The game was such a technical mess I couldn't get passed it, even though I thought the new gameplay was decent.

Culex uses the Final Fantasy 4 boss battle music, so some people mistakenly think he is from the game but it's just the music. I've played through FF4 over 10 times and he definitely is not in it ;)

None. He's original to Mario RPG. The allusion to Final Fantasy is just an easter egg.

Coding was hard when I was coding for the sake of coding. Turns out after you spend a decade solving problems and creating/maintaining products that “coding” is probably the least difficult part. These days I’m relieved when a task inv

Another christmas approaching, another depressing realization that I'll probably be stuck on ruby 2.6.9 and Rails 5 until I change companies.

It’s either more time or less features. Less testing is non-negotiable.

Definitely a very bad idea. The first 2 or so weeks felt euphoric to me but after that it was pure hell for months and months.

Thankfully I wasn’t on Benzos, but my mother has been and they definitey can do a lot more harm than good.

At the time, very. In hindsight, nearly 10 years of being numb to the world was worse.

I'm totally off the SSRIs now and will never go back. Rebounds used to be frequent, then like 6-12 months apart now - now I don't remember when my last one was... Going cold turkey was absolute hell, but it worked out well for me

I recently was forced off of SSRIs after nearly ten years because I lost my psychiatrist and couldn't get a new one because the waitlists were ridiculous. After 10 years on them, the next 6 months were absolute hell (i legit thought at

I’m so confused about American copyright law. I was always under the impression that copyright is granted automatically and you didn’t need to “register” it, contrarily to a trademark which must be registered and is only valid for its spec
