Actually, if the server knows the client version, he can downgrade returned data to the client in the version he expects. That way, adding, renaming and removing fields should not be a showstopper, assuming methods stay as generic as possib

Herd mentality, the inability to cope with exponential growth and a fundamental sense of optimism and faith in our leaders and institutions overshadows everything what happens in Italy. We're so fundamentally used to "We'll b

We already have WFH days, like once in a week. Tried to convince the manager to expand this to general WFH for all employees if possible. His statement: Not yet. He will do so as soon as our government (Swiss) suggests it. I can't blam

I wonder what will happen to public transport. In the press conference was said, that currently, they are worried about large events, where people are very near to each other for quite some time. But large train stations, like in Zurich, Be

You're right. And that's why I can't imagine a solution without AGI. There are simply too many context-sensitive parameters and we humans are quite good at applying past knowledge to circumstances which are new to us. And we

I'm glad something like SQLite exists. It's awesome if you want to store data in your applications without falling back to a full SQL database. I am also thankful for those client applications like "DB Browser for SQLite&quot

I've never managed to keep my bookmarks all organized. Never. And I really tried, but always give up after a while for one reason or another. And link rot is also real. I sometimes wonder, why browsers make it so damn hard to store web

Wow this looks amazing. I don't exactly understand, how the texturing works: "Buildings were textured using a procedural system which utilized a shader that could overlay 2 UV regions from a single atlas. Each UV tile could be spr

I've actually learned how to hold a pen ergonomically by Taylor Swift. [1] Sounds crazy, but I use the grip with a drawing tablet pen and it just feels natural. I hold the pen between index finger and middle finger and use the thumb to

It's the same with every kind of roguelike game: a) Either you try to go for as long as you can, enjoy dying and discover the endless amount of content and interactions. b) You bite the bullet, start to read everything there is in foru

It's funny, because I started to play Spelunky again after a long absence, which is arguably one of the hardest games to master on your own. I'm not particularly good, played for about 28 hours and have not yet finished the game.

I'm in the same boat as you. The windows forms designer is such a joy to use. But as soon as you need to add special behavior to some controls it can get quite hairy. I've never encountered a complete roadblock, but we have a ton

I understand the need for developers to know more about the hardware and software running on their client machines. For example, I believe information like the hardware survey from Valve [1] are very valuable for the whole industry. But the

For consumer products, the cloud makes perfect sense. Scaling, performance and orchestration make it a perfect fit. And who cares about the few things that fall into wrong hands here and there... Our business, on the other hand, works close

I'm so happy, that Godot is open source and it's one of the main reasons for me to switch from Unity. Closed source is such a mess, if there are bugs, which never get fixed or features, which are half baked. And there are quite a

Wow, there's a "Remote" button in the scene window which does exactly that. Is this, what you mean? Thanks! Learned something new!

In Unity up is +y, down is -y. In Godot it's reversed, I guess because screen updates usually start at the top left corner of the screen.

Been playing around with the Release Candidate, coming from Unity. Here's a list of things which I like / dislike: ++ Open License and friendly community. ++ The scene graph (node tree / prefabs) is well done, better than Uni

Even if this will be economically viable, the regulations around it could be so harsh that the idea could not take off. There have to be rules where those taxis can start, land, in what direction, time frames and over which places in a city

This is something which irks me. All major engines (Unity, Unreal and even Godot) provide 2 different mechanisms for callbacks in your scripts: A callback before each rendered frame and a callback before each physic step (Update() and Fixed

There are some studies which show that fat and sugar combined lead to more consumption [1]. The food industry calls this the "Bliss point" [2] and that's why many processed foods combine have a high amounts of fat and carbs.

Determining if a project is alive or dead really is a problem. And this problem will grow from year to year. There are so many small and medium sized projects on Github, where you have no idea if they are maintained or not. Sometimes there

It's quite astounding when you think about how much of our life has been automated or made virtual. But basic house hold tasks like cooking, dishes, tidying up, folding clothes are still fully manual. Also shopping for food, vacuum or

What's worse is, that they also acquired multiple competing businesses on the market with similar products in a very short time frame, Web Content Management Software in our case. That was about a decade ago. This wreaked havoc on the

It's a form of greenwashing [1] and unfortunately very effective. If you spend enough money on advertising, showing your company in an environmentally friendly light, most consumers will simply accept it and lift your company above any
