Just because the game failed doesn’t mean the whole studio needs to be scrapped… Artists and programmers could still get their chance to shine, without the top level decision makers steering the game towards dated formulas like hero shooters

It used to be my favorite game before I played Outer Wilds. That was a while back, aah the nostalgia… The Swapper’s graphics are also quite unique and aged pretty well I think.

I mean, he’s in a similar situation as Toby fox. He has the freedom to spend as much time as he wants on developing updates without worrying about money, so he doesn’t need to charge anything or ask money from players.

The wallstreetbets post having been created a few hours before the shortage is wild

static typing:

• afraid to make mistakes
• restricts your freedom
• thinks i’m too stupid to know the types of my variables
• years of programming yet no real world use found for Option<Option<Result<Int>>>

dynamic typing

• bold, fearless
• null pointer exceptions? catch them and return 0
• can use eval, easily extendable

The part of the effect that gives reach is only on your turn, so it’s useless. It was probably meant to be haste instead. It’s a minor thing but still weird to see on a released card

This set feels rushed both from the design to how they handled release and promotion. [[Bleeding Effect]] hints that very little or no playtesting took place either.

I fail to see where is the “value” in a booster full of commons and uncommons

That movie was pretty good, shame we’ll never see a sequel

I like Val&PL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJQLJFuAj0Q8LPgqdzTbag They are more focused on entertainment rather than high level gameplay and analysis. They do plenty of wordplay and jokes. Depending on your level in French it will be a bit hard to follow at times. Personally i like their dynamic as a commentator duo

Linux Mint makes it very easy to install Nvidia drivers and Optimus. I have used it in the past on a laptop with a similar configuration. It’s also quite robust, probably more than Garuda.

That’s true. Also I guess domain names in most ideogram-based languages cannot be meaningfully converted to ASCII. The best detection method I’m aware of is detecting a mix of different alphabets in the domain, but I imagine even this has a lot of false positives

This should be ON by default, in my opinion. Also, I believe Mozilla has a massive opportunity here to demarcate themselves as the more security-conscious browser vendor. “This phishing trick works on all major browsers except Firefox” would be great publicity material.

What’s the problem with it? (legit question from non-silverblue user)

Just got a call from Rust HQ; they cancelled the project and are deleting all the articles talking about it

Note that this is an old article from 2 years ago and that GKI is already implemented in Android

Apart from text editors/IDEs I don’t really see the use for it. I think it is not practical unless all your users are both power users and programmers, which basically boils down to developer tools.

Brainfuck? Really?

I think most people (including myself) prefer a minimal desktop by default, and then proceed to install only the software they need. Nevertheless, it always surprises me when I log in to a system that doesn’t have vim.

It’s open-source merely to comply with the GPL license of the kernel, but the fact is that an Android image built only from open source components will be extremely crippled or, depending on your point of view, basically useless. Such an image will not even boot on the majority of devices ; you’ll need those sweet proprietary driver blobs if you want your phone to do anything, and a bunch more closed source binaries in order to use Play services.
