   The thing is, migrations are kind of a choice. Either you migrate or you don't. It's up to you. I understand the need for fundamental changes and Open Source projects are basically free to do whatever. Maybe something needs an ove

   I had a Fairphone 1 once. It fell on the floor and the display cracked. I was able to order a replacement screen and replace the cracked screen in about 2 hours thanks to iFixit [1]. And I have no idea of electronics whatsoever! This is re

   Update is bound to the framerate. And if you have a faster PC or a higher refresh rate you can perform more logic. So why limit yourself by a fixed timestep? But well, nothing prevents you from doing game logic in FixedUpdate and maybe it c

   The mixing of unfixed and fixed timesteps leads in my opinion to one of the greatest headaches in game development. Unity and Godot for that matter advice you to put all physic related scripts in a FixedUpdate method and game Logic scripts

   Thanks for the tutorial. Looks interesting. I'm a fan of GoAccess. Unfortunately the queries are pre-made and there are nearly no options whatsoever. You can't (yet) filter by date for example. One thing I realized is, that on sma

   I'm just in the process from migrating from UIKit to tailwind. So take this with a grain of salt: Before you get into tailwind-ui, I would start out with the basics of tailwind, which can already take you quite far. I would even say, t

   I'm not convinced. Yes, you will be able to create faces, drawings, 3d models and music just by telling the computer what you want. But I doubt that you can cross the uncanny valley of nearly lifelike artificial output to things made

   Well, we live in a time where information spreads faster than the news. We see history developing in front of our eyes on sites like twitter, reddit or facebook before they move through the newspaper filter. It's a wonderful thing to b

    Also reminds me of "Space Oddity" [1] performed by Chris Hadfield [2] in 2013 on the IIS. He even released an album with songs recorded up there [3]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo [2] https:&#x2

    There have been made some studies in Switzerland [1][2] why turnout is usually somewhere between 40 and 45%. Main reasons: * Not interested. * Not competent enough to make a decision. * Social isolation. * Frustration. * Some participate in

    Very interesting. I just checked my logfiles and as expected most traffic seems to originate from search crawlers, feeds and bots running through all kinds of exploit urls. Hard to tell, but a wild guess is that more than 75% of hits and vi

    About the numbers: thanks for your input. I guess, you get more accurate results the more visitors you have. On my small sized blog I doubt the numbers and think, that GoAccess does not filter out some bots. You can try to determine them an

    I like GoAccess for following reasons: * No javascript. * Does not need a database. * Realtime stats in html format. I use it in my blog, but also believe, that the numbers are completely inflated. I don't trust them. This has been dis

    Very interesting and kinda funny, that you ended up at Debian :) But I can understand that. One thing that tells me is, that it is good to have multiple operating systems, open ones and proprietary ones. They can all learn from each other

    Well, if I had to program in Java I'd probably use IntelliJ :) Love everything coming from JetBrains. I'm a huge fan of Resharper. PyCharm and GoLand are top-notch.

    Well, it's hard to replace a tool which worked for you since many years. You learn all it's tricks and you can build up your workflows around that tool. Maybe I just had some bad luck regarding Linux. I started with Suse, switch t

    I may very well be part of a minority, but after working with Windows for the last 20 or so years I got used to it's quirks. And yes, I actually like it. Windows 10 on a Dell Latitude or XPS is stable, fast and I can run everything und

    For indie game devs Godot [1] is huge. Great scene graph, scripting and debugging inside the editor, wonderful 2D tools (animation, physics and tilemaps are really great). It does not come with as many features as Unity or Unreal, but actua

    I spent so much time figuring out stuff in Unity (physics cough ) or implementing stuff I thought were subpar (a remoting stack based on LiteNetLib) that I simply got tired of it. And every new feature adds more complexity on top of an alr

    I still love Windows Forms and the designer. Sometimes some solutions are a bit hacky and the designer can do really weird stuff, but I can manage. I think, the standardized look and feel really works well for complex business applications.

    Very informative. Thanks! - It's not as useful. - CPU/Memory/Bandwidth limiter kind of works. But who needs that? - You can move video overlays anywhere and they stay always on top. - Opera, the company, was sold to a chinese
