Brilliant point. I wonder if that can be used in any legal arguments.

I'm not sure you're going to find anything better. These websites are already pretty incredible at getting fairly competent people to write technical content for free. If you want something even better, still for free, that's

> Why this reticence to opening the project and have others play with it I heard this recently: open projects are like Good Will Hunting but in reverse. You start as a respected genius, and end up as a janitor getting into fights.

I made www.chesscraft.ca for myself, mostly to survive my brutal commute to work pre pandemic. Today I still prioritize features I'll enjoy most, even tho I have 250k installs now. The game will also never have ads, even tho lots of pe

Nope. Game companies want to end those games so they can sell the same engine or mechanics but repackaged by an army of asset artists.

Live music didn't disappear but the industry took a huge permanent culling when any cheap venue could just play a track. The replacement doesn't have to be great to trash an industry. It just has to be good enough for most. This i

Maybe gaming carried you through the hardest times of your mental illness and now you're ready to learn computer science deeply? Never too late. Especially at 23... People successfully do huge career changes at 50.

"Lego is about building things from lots of interchangable bricks." Did you really just try to define how millions of children enjoy a toy? You need to relax a bit. Kids (and adults) like toys for all kinds of different reasons th

"I end up spending some of my personal money to get equipments without dealing with complaints." Nope, big mistake. I'm sure others will chime in with good advice, but the number one problem I see is that you're not stan

Indeed. And even if they only earned $6.1M doing this, if they did something similar ten times but were only caught once then it's still worth it.

Good question. However, if you want to learn, the requirement shouldn't be a clean code base. Instead you want to find a working and complex code base. Real projects have warts and history. Whereas you can always find perfect code in t

He played the meta game. Get more new players to play more and longer gives him more and bigger targets later. The same reason I wouldn't totally whoop my friends at smash brothers back in the day. If you just barely win, you may win m

Overwhelming number of tcl positive comments here. Must be selection bias. Tcl is ridiculous. I propose that anyone who prefers tcl over other top languages in 2022 simply doesn't have productivity or teamwork as their top goal. Do you

I skim the top comments first to see if they all slam the article, if so, maybe I abandon the whole story. Same on Reddit.

I also need to pile on: "I spent at least 8-10 hours a week getting things to work on Linux" This is ridiculous. I've used Linux exclusively for 10+ years. You're either not telling the whole truth of your use case, or y

Maybe soon, but not yet. Hospitals are still stretched, mostly by unvaccinated patients. If provincial passports included covid recovered, many people who haven't yet gotten infected would have an incentive to get infected.

Originally I made www.chesscraft.ca for my very long commutes. Put it on Google Play because I've never published an app before, and for friends and family. Eventually I added a donation-like IAP and Steam because the community and rev

ChessCraft is a chess variant AI sandbox, with online play and sharing. The full game is free and ad-free, the revenue model is patronware IAP. This has been my passion project for three years, first on Google Play and now released on Steam

People who cannot code get excited about technology trends and then have a fantasy that they can participate without working hard. It's called "no-code". There's tons of advanced software tools on computers that do amazi
