The criticism is a bit over the top. I had to do some paid work on Magento extensions for a pre-existing customer installation for a while, and while it was a slow, bloated system unusable without throwing in a whole lot of extra cache syst

One of the factors which lead to Perl's decline is there are too many ways to do it :-) This is fine for a lot of stuff, but somewhere in the 2000s, it became increasingly annoying you could not properly use Perl's biggest value u

Just a minor nitpick. It is article 1 AND 20, not articles 1 to 20.

I wished they added couch co-op, like in Diablo 3. This was D3's best feature. Too few games nowadays have that.

I love this: "it is my very strong conviction that making breaking changes would violate the trust that exists between Dyalog and its customers, and I would personally consider it to be unethical." I do not actually have a persona

Android development: API has a bizarre malfunction. You hunt around the exact source version to find an obscure workaround, which might work or not. Most likely you are screwed. Plus there will definitely be one phone model, were you are de

The one thing that still puzzles me is, how that unified memory thing works and actually handles contention between GPU and CPU without slowing either down. There's not much information out there how it actually works. Anybody has any

Unless you used a laser printer, geoPublish results were subpar compared to Printfox or Pagefox though, which, at least in Europe, widely dominated C-64 DTP, not only because of the amount of content available in form of fonts, but also bec

Awful propaganda. That guy is not even a medical doctor, I doubt he will have been arrested for "providing medical assistance" and the connection to the new law, which is not even fully in effect yet (and was not in effect at all

1Password. I love where we can share accounts within the company, while I can also share some with my wife, between our computers and iPads.

While a temporary stop gap, after CNAMEs the ad industry will then require A records from publishers. So what's next? Double lookup of everything?

This does not work. Many spammers are not exactly the most clever folks and often neither check the effectiveness of their links, nor if they are removed within a few hours anyway. Instead they simply send automated tools to your site, whic

Currently using Fiery Feeds on Mac OS. It has some rough edges still, but also some very nice power features and the author is very responsive.

Exactly. Recently complained about the same with other "analytics" packages pushed on HN. If you cannot get actionable results from an analytics package, it's only a 90ies visitor counter in disguise with some fancy graphics.

Tried it out a few minutes. While I like the polish, this cannot (yet) compete with Sublime Text for me (and remote editting is one of the major weaknesses of Sublime currently, even with available extensions, while it looks as if it might

This is not specific to Umami, but I always find it puzzling people call all kinds of things, which are only a minor step up from the visitor counters from the 90ies a "Google Analytics alternative". In my eyes, website analytics

I find these large scale structures in Game of Life absolutely impressive and sometimes wonder, how they're constructed to begin with and what the tooling looks like people use to build this.

How playable is it? Can you actually play from beginning to end? The version number is bit off-putting.

It was already a while ago, stumbled across the hand coded i386 assembler in, if I recall correctly, nettle at that time. On a later attempt, getting the mysql driver into the thing was a pain on my Mac. It's not that it did not work w

You are right of course, just tried to be concise with the description - it's basically how we always explained it to the players back then. A Java or Python comparison was not possible at that time - both did not even exist at the tim

It is a pity the article dismisses the whole eco system around LPMuds that much by basically only including them in that screenshot from Bartle's book. They were an interesting middle ground between the Diku-likes (think: precursors to

Haven't tried the software, from the description it looks nicely done. A quick tip: for many people, it is an essential piece of information where your company is based, that means, in which country, not only, but also because of GDPR.
