It’s a remake that uses new, higher quality assets though, so isn’t an option in this case.

I’m a developer and don’t hate it on its face.

IMO it’s only a problem in the context of iOS not having side-loading. I’m imagining an app that uses an API to block ads and Apple just being like “no” and then you can’t get that app.

Apex Legends: Been playing since Season 0 with my SO and brother and I think it’s honestly the longest I’ve ever played a single game. The gunplay just feels so good.

Tears of the Kingdom: Still working my way through it, taking my time exploring. Honestly it’s such a great game, but I have to say the resource gathering is getting a little tedious. I like the weapon durability mechanic from the angle of being forced to switch up your fighting style, but I wish there was a way to repair weapons between fights.

Sure, but that assumes this manager would be happy with generic “medical stuff” as an answer…

Right, but if you’re request for denied for something medically necessary unless you revealed it, you went anyway (because it’s necessary), and then you got fired… That feels like it shouldn’t be legal (obviously that doesn’t mean that it isn’t).

I’m not sure it would be legal if they were forced to reveal medical information.

I think better algorithms wouldn’t be a waste of developer resources. At the end of the day, the post feed algorithm is the core product, IMO.

Figuring out how to lower the weights on highly active subs is a good idea. As is ranking smaller subs’ content appropriately.

For all it’s faults, Reddit’s algorithm was pretty good. There was always a decent mix of small and large subs on my feed.

Kbin’s post ranking overall seems better than Lemmy’s and that was a major factor in me choosing it as my home base.

I really hope windows can launch support for ARM and we can start seeing M1/2 competitors in the PC space.

I love my MacBook and would get an ARM chip in a heartbeatwhen it’s time to upgrade my PC.

Are there more expensive Chromebooks with better build quality?

Genuine questions. My impression was that they pretty much only serve the ultra low end market, but I’ve never really looked into it because I need to do heavier tasks on my computers.

Like any creative ever. Gamers will disagree but I find Macs desktop UI much nicer than Windows. I worked in Hollywood editorial for a while and it’s ALL Macs there until you get into really high end VFX stations.

The Wacom drivers are also MUCH better on Mac. It’s hard to explain, but the stylus just doesn’t feel as smooth on Windows. The response curve/time is just better, even with the same settings.

A bunch of small UX things like native column view in finder turn into annoyances on other systems.

Having a UNIX terminal is nice if you’re a developer but aren’t fond of any of the Linux desktop environments. WSL for windows it’s getting better, but getting IDEs to play nicely with it was still touch and go last time I gave it a whirl.

I game on PC and deploy to Linux servers, but Mac is my daily driver for coding and video editing. It just gets out of my way and let’s me be productive. I have to do way too much fiddling on Windows and PC for a desktop experience I still like less.

Also – disregarding the OS, which I do think Apple should be forced to sell as a standalone – the build quality is leaps and bounds above any other laptop I’ve had. I’ve been using a laptop with the M1 Apple Silicone, and it’s legitimately the happiest I’ve ever been with a work computer.

I’m not saying it should be illegal to release games for only one console. Obviously not every studio is going to have the bandwidth to develop for every platform, and some games will use special features of some systems.

What I’m saying is that it should be illegal for console makers to give any special incentives or preference to developers to do so artificially.

Console exclusives are anti consumer and it should be illegal for console makers to offer any incentive to developers – including studios they own – to make a game exclusive.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Oh I see. I misunderstood the comment then. Thanks for the clarification!

Not that this isn’t scummy but my understanding is that “ransomware” refers to software that locks a user or organization out of their systems until a fee is paid, generally my encrypting the disk.

This seems like a more traditional “hack” of a system where you get in and download data. Which makes threatening them is traditional blackmail.

It’s a really interesting way to get around copyright without needing to make your own assets.

One of the things I like about programming is it feels like legit magic. You infuse a lightning stone with words of power that bend its mind to your will.

One must be cautious. The stone will do what is asked of it. Exactly what is asked of it. Ask carefully.

I think you mean shudder. Unless the code you wrote is running on cameras.

You really need to change it. I’ve been looking for a fediverse project to contribute to. Clicked the demo link, saw the domain name, and dipped into negative interest before the page even loaded.

Putting aside all the obvious things, my knee-jerk reaction is “do I expect this person’s code reviews will be pleasant?”
