  1. I wish I could have played it, but it made me so violently sick. Only a few games ever have, but none that badly. The other one was Blue Prince which was a tragedy.
  2. I think it’s more share a wall with America but rooming with France.
  3. en_CA is used for localization but I have almost never seen it for dictionaries or language, unlike fr_CA.
  4. I’ve tried getting CEC working with my pretty average setup: Samsung Frame, Marantz receiver, couple of console games.

    It has been worse than doing all the remote juggling switching mysel because it is non-deterministic. This article will help me debug it, but it’s a toss up which audio device the screen will pick, if game mode activates or not, and if some device waking in the wrong order will put another one right back to sleep. Even if I follow the same steps every time.

  5. A local couple runs a hot food stall at outdoor markets all over the city by backing theirs up to the stall and plugging in all the kitchen things they need into the outlets in the bed.
  6. Yeah I’m pretty sure this was about pottery.

    If you make the same pot 100 times that 100th pot is your best one.

  7. Love this. It gives me a great idea for what to do with my Tidbyt.

  8. It works on Windows by essentially rooting the machine. MS holds control of a bunch of stuff because they hold the signing keys. It’s fundamentally incompatible with open source.
  9. The cheating isn’t just about input speed or accuracy though. It’s about seeing around corners or having knowledge about other things in the game that you can’t see on the screen.
  10. Can cobfirm, I’ve been driving a Model 3 for 6ish years and the brakes have problems from disuse pretty regularly. It’s annoying but not critical. Other than that it has been shockingly reliable. This matches my experience.
  11. Men are also over represented in suicide.
  12. I desperately want to be a fan of ownCloud, because it offers clients natively across Mac/Linux/mobile, but it’s such a mess. Every platform has small bugs and reliability problems that makes the whole thing useless.
  13. Great reply.

    What comes to mind from my experience is storing full shipping rate tables for multiple shipping providers. Those change extremely rarely but are a high throughput exact lookup in a critical path (a checkout).

    But we just implemented them in SQLite and deployed that file with the application. Simple clean, effective, and fast. Maybe shipping rate data is smaller than this is intended for, but I doubt using this instead would see a consequential perf increase. Seems niche, like the domain name lookup example.

  14. While I agree and this all seems reasonable, I think you give the average person far too much credit.
  15. My goodness, thank you. The other white noise apps I use for my kids when we travel work on a subscription. I have to remember to subscribe, to play a single sound, then cancel my subscription. Made me want to learn iOS development out of spite.
  16. It makes some things better. But it also replaces transparency in some apps with just a solid block of colour. Photos you lose like 10-20% of the screen. The UI used to fit and work well and they just broke it. Maddening.
  17. This reads like a hit piece based on a personal vendetta. I'd be careful how much weight to give this.
  18. A place where you can watch people slowly reinvent the existing financial system.
  19. There is no way. Shopify is trying to be part of the Ruby community, because it knows if it becomes the community or bypasses the community, then the community are dead.

    I think what is most likely is that Shopify is trying to achieve some security goals in rubygems through Ruby Central. That they put a deadline on funding based on some security guarantees.

    Shopify knows they are a high value target. I bet they thought they could muscle for whatever they want using funding money, and didn’t anticipate the mishandling and then blowback.

  20. He usually just stays out of this stuff.

    The funny thing about inventing a language you love, is you spend your career writing C rather than actually writing code in the language you love.
