DevOps is bad because for some reason we’ve decided to invent new programming languages that you can’t debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It’s bullshit.
“Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end”?
Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of “edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat”.
And I don’t make my own paints either when doing art. I still agree with the basic original point:
It is disappointing that we’re currently automating creativity far faster than manual labour. I’m angry that my art is getting automated away faster than my folding of laundry.
Okay but I still have to fold my own laundry.
God damn how is it that Sega has never released a Sonic Adventure-style game with that kind of online multiplayer? It’s so freaking obvious and yet we’ve never seen it.
Some of the gameplay mechanics look a bit… unnecessary? Like riding on vehicles, at least at speed. And I’ve always thought the Sonic Adventure rail grinding was tedious. But still overall it looks like a fun adaptation of the 3D sonic gameplay albeit with a slightly dated-looking art style.
C is simple in the same way that a circular saw with no safety features is simple. I like having fingers better.
Some men just want to watch the world burn
C++, but a very ugly and oldschool dialect of it.
Yes, many many many years ago. Beyond Earth is the palest of pale imitation.
Civ Beyond Earth has the neat approach that it replaces the old “build a spaceship to alpha Centauri” with three different technological endings each with different moral implications. The game is about human transcendence so any ending is going to be about changing humanity.
The problem is that the game itself is not one of the better entries in the Civ series otherwise.
Did they miss the memo on Armored Core 6? If they’re bringing back a Dreamcast franchise, it’s Virtual On
Tomb Raider 2013 would only pop up the hud when you did something that involved it, by default the GUI was fully hidden.
The ultimate original “no hud FPS” was Jurassic Park Trespasser, where checking your health involved looking down at a tattoo on your breast.

JS is the one that's built into the browser. If JS wasn't built into the browser, it would go onto the trashbin of bad old languages that only survived because of their platform like VBA and ActionScript and .bat batch scripting. You can't compare JS to any other language because JS is the one you don't get a choice on.
This is why the digital good I buy the most of is music. MP3s are just dumb files. There's no subscription fees, no DRM. Nothing but digital watermarks. The "service" is the ability to redownload and stream the songs that I've purchased on other devices, but I also store the raw files on my fileserver.
Now, the challenge for the vendor is that I can also just as easily pirate these same files.
And yet somehow I still buy.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Large Corporate Landlords: There’s a perception that these entities buy up substantial amounts of property, making it difficult for individuals to purchase a home due to increased prices and limited supply.
People keep looking for the bogeyman here but this is one where that's too facile. Rents in Canada have skyrocketed, and REITs rent out their properties. Sure, they rent them out as expensive as they can, they're jerks. But they're profiteering off of the shortage of rental properties. And if they've got a crapload of property, and they're profiting from the shortage… well they're not really the cause of the shortage when they're offering a lot to rent, are they? They're profiteering from it, but they're not causing it. If there was truly endless money buying up everything and then renting it out, prices to buy would climb, but prices to rent would plummet, and that's obviously not happening.
You want to look at the cause? Look at people who prevent new housing from getting built. Petty bureaucrats. Wealthy NIMBY neighbours.
And yes, as much as it goes against Canadian values: if you've got more immigrants than you've got new housing, you're going to run out of homes, and the people who have homes can price them as high as they want because everybody needs a roof.
The fact that this meme makes sense to anyone demonstrates how dynamic typed programming languages cause brain damage.
Yes but the typical gameclip set up where you have the DS-style setup of the controller at the bottom and the screen at the top is surprisingly uncomfortable because of how top-heavy that is.
Too bad phone makers have given up on experimenting with form factor. Just an endless array of oddly-sized rectangles, but not quite consistent-enough to make gameclips feasible.
Also I've hit problems with gamepad+Bluetooth audio giving my game controller bad audio latency. Had to switch to wired audio.
Even for experts the user experience is shit. Too much has to be done manually when the default should be automatic, like fetching before pull, recursing when working with repos that use submodules, allowing mismatched casing on case insensitive filesystems, etc.
I mean I remember grinding for loot and levels in FF1.
The animation and aesthetic is amazing and I like the music but … what’s the gameplay? I confess I got a little disappointed when it shifted to platformer perspective.
