  • Forget technical debt

    Jump

  • The reason we use it is to tell non-technical management people why implementing a simple feature might take an hour on a fresh project and a week on an old legacy project.

    Yes, thank you. It's really as simple as that

    A client recently approached me with the need to measure technical debt.

    The writer made the whole essay because saying "just ask your engineers what they need to improve" wouldn't make him money.

  • Locked

    Yes, Windows is the Problem.

    Jump

  • wasn’t really thinking about it, because all I did was launch the games I wanted to play.

    It getting increasingly belligerent trying to get me to switch to a Microsoft account over the last decade was by itself enough to make me furious.

  • How important is a DE to you?

    Jump

  • It's very important. I use KDE. Historically I've used xfce and lxde. I want something with sane defaults that will let me tweak things. I very much don't want something that wants to limit you by pretending you're on a touch device when you're on mouse and keyboard, or insists it knows better than you what you want

  • Separate community for AI coding?

    Jump

  • I think posts about LLM technology itself can be interesting, but random self promoting blogspam from founder types and tech bros about how they've found the secret to using "agentic programming" responsibly is the most boring thing imaginable. So yes, if it has to exist please put it somewhere else.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

    Jump

  • Proton is a combination of technologies. The main ones are wine and dxvk

  • The imminent risk of vibe coding

    Jump

  • To paraphrase, "I'm seeing negative effects from using LLMs. For some reason I apparently think simply not using the tool producing negative effects is an option so I'm going to make a bunch of rules that amount to balancing out any supposed productivity gains with more human work and invest in even more slop tools"

  • "AI is Theft, I Have to Use It, Otherwise I'll Get Fired": GDC Reports One-Third of Game Workers Are Using GenAI for Daily Tasks

    Jump

  • Ehhh I know a lot of people that play indie games, but generally they only play one or two genres of them. Part of it is that the terminology gets confusing because people mean different things. Like, other than baldur's gate, I couldn't tell you the last western AAA game I played. But I played FF7 rebirth which is definitely AAA but not what people are always talking about when that talk about AAA sinking. There are also tons of studios that you probably wouldn't call AAA but you also wouldn't call indie. Like, I probably play more games from Falcom than any other studio. They're not huge headcount-wise or cutting edge technology-wise but they've been consistently making games since the 80s. I think a lot of people don't bucket those types of developers in their heads at all.

    Jump

  • The question is who funds these theoretical new studios? Indie studios more often than not have to make deals with the devil so they can eat. Then, even if their game is a smash hit, the investors take the lion's share of profit and still control the actual devs by the purse strings. This society is sick.

  • Breaking the Spell of Vibe Coding

    Jump

  • Yeah node's --experimental-strip-types exposes the absurdity immediately. The only incompatibility is that it has type annotations.

    Jump

  • You're being too generous. Calling typescript a rewrite shows the author chose something as an example they clearly don't understand the first thing about.

  • Breaking the Spell of Vibe Coding

    Jump

  • TypeScript, for those who aren’t familiar, is a Microsoft rewrite of JavaScript that’s incompatible with basic JavaScript in multiple ways

    Wut

    I'm struggling with Python, as someone who started with C, Java, PHP and JS

    Jump

  • I'm not a fan of python so I was prepared to commiserate but...

    Tuples, Sets, Dicts, Lists

    These are all useful in every language... I don't use tuples that often, but lists/arrays and associative arrays/dictionaries/hashmaps are in every language and completely different from each other, and there are plenty of reasons to use sets when that is what your data actually is and you get easy access to set operations

  • [Help] ext4 or btrfs or xfs for Proton and Wine prefixes on Lutris or Steam with an external SSD ?

    Jump

  • I don't think there is any reason not to just use ext4 for that

  • Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?

    Jump

  • For DS/2DS/3DS specifically, there is no emulation hardware that has resistive touchscreen, which I think is superior to capacitive for many games. For 3DS, the same thing applies to the 3D capabilities. Additionally, I'm under the impression that 3DS emulation isn't fully reliable for the full library, but I may be out of date.

    TLDR; emulation may not be as feature complete or as quality as original hardware.

  • Sam Altman’s make-or-break year: can the OpenAI CEO cash in his bet on the future?

    Jump

  • Lol. Lmao even

  • US controls 90% of AI chip markets and produces far more advanced AI models than China, yet it has lost much of manufacturing capacity needed to build at scale and depends on rivals for materials

  • Everyone knows you want as much income inequality as possible. That's why it's a win condition in civilization games right?

  • Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android

    Jump

  • If we hadn't let them call it sideloading for so long it would be easier to have the conversation about the implications with less savvy people more easily.
