no, we were excited we could have arcade 3d at home. but it’s 25 years ago, or some such… honestly I care more about “sweet memories” than historical correctness. nonetheless your memory, and will to share it, is more than appreciable, in fact I thank you for sharing.

ok my bad. legend in town was that inside coin ops there was saturn hw. but who knows… this is maybe true for me, and not for you.

you were disappointed and mildly concerned at the sight of the very first 3d fighting game? wow…

no downfall for sj, pretty standard behavior from him. it was absolutely normal for him to deceive people. as for all billionaires. how do you think they make those riches?

good for them, being just Complicit for once should give them a nice breath of fresh air.
- Comment on Typing is not a programming bottleneck 1 year ago:
if aesthetics reason is what gets through, I’m really lost then. for sure that’s a rant. thank you, have a nice day
- Comment on Typing is not a programming bottleneck 1 year ago:
well, in my rant, the bit about why do I have to add braces to fix stuff is very close to your first point, and the bit about reading while quickly scrolling to your second point, in which you say the right thing: not adding braces is something that one actively does. with no acceptable reason ever, imo.
- Comment on Typing is not a programming bottleneck 1 year ago:
good. article upvoted. as are also good curly braces after if/else. too many times I’ve seen if/else without curly braces. why I should carefully read tens of loc, to find ifs? why can’t I find it at a glance, quickly scrolling the file? y do i have to read the line horizontally too to understand if the instruction is there or in the following line? why do I HAVE to add the curly braces to fix stuff? juniors get arty with this “feature” and unwrapping their logic becomes a real pain: but it looks so good!

particularly nasty situation, for real. in my experience, they know the bits of a framework, but they’ll never get to write a modest regex: they’ll have opinions on that too.
- Comment on I accidentally removed the WHERE clause from my SQL query in a personal tool. Every row is now the same. I lost everything, have no backup, and I'm stupid. 1 year ago:
you could use dbeaver that warns you for update and delete queries without a where clause, independently of the db system. I hope the functionality it’s still there since, for totally unrelated motivations, I always use a where clause, even when buying groceries.
- Comment on The temptation is always there 1 year ago:
I wish I was so lucky to have comments.
in real life, I’m fighting with - I’m not joking - a few dozen “quick patches”. code does not reflect in any point functional requirements, and dude is adamant he’s in the right and supersarcastic in any occasion.
- Comment on The temptation is always there 1 year ago:
amen
Plus, there’s always the temptation to do it the shitty way and “fix it later”
double amen

- Comment on Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE 1 year ago:
well the first part is super interesting…common mistake installing from official store non brand apps!? that’s something on the line with win store. if I’m told I’d die if I do not install Inkscape through win store, well, you know, I’d either stop looking at the insides of a svg or die. not so tough of a decision ah ah

- Comment on Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE 1 year ago:
on mac i can’t honestly argue about anything. apple policies, practices, hw, sw, services, etc. are something i try to stay as far away as possible. dunno if it’s still the same, but as an example VLC on mac was practically nothing and broken compared to linux and win version, because, you know, quicktime (or what it was/is called the native media player). also is it possible that mac makes really hard to access ms services (or that ms makes really hard to access their services on a mac? although they already make sw for that os… mmh…)? anyways, just for completeness, on win I had no trouble managing office (again, don’t recall what that iteration was called, but it was the one that allowed you to install office in 5 machines with one license) with firefox. have a nice day
- Comment on Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE 1 year ago:
true, but bing chat isn’t all ms services. although I’ve heard of plug-ins that could do that, dreadful as it is just the idea
- Comment on Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE 1 year ago:
i work for a company that produces dotnet software. I’m my comments you’ll find this, and that firefox is my browser of choice. so we obviously manage access via ad, we use azure, etc. . when it comes to develop Linux native code, i fire up my vm, and I can even use the teams web version on firefox (tbh, only chat though) , so
In my experience, Microsoft services don’t work at all on Firefox
i don’t really know where this is coming from. would you like to elaborate?
the idea that ms is hostile towards its customers is so apple propaganda from some 20 years ago… I mean, a very old refrain… just please stop beating this now decomposed horse. had u written something like
ms like apple like google/alphabet are private ruthless faceless us corporations, ready to suck the soul of anything that got one
that, i could agree on. anyways, peace, obviously.

Are there Google services that only work in Chrome? this is the gateway to this I do know Google is generally less annoying than Microsoft in that department. how this? through Firefox I experience ms websites the same as with edge. google websites? experience is full of small differences from chrome
- Comment on Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE 1 year ago:
This is wrong on so many levels, I cannot fathom where I could start talking about it.
- private us company
- feeding their ai just to eventually negate myself the chance of those small side projects that pay small money
- us company
- chromium browsers
- governments shouldn’t allow for source code, as trivial as it may be, to be centralized in another nation
- us corporation
- google (in my experience) devastating ux, ui, docs
- go and try to use aws, azure, you name it services (this ip/fqdm doesn’t seem to be part of google services! would you like to try out or service? start with our free plan with the performance of a C64, and choose to upgrade whenever you want!)
- us based private corp
- chromium browsers
- this functionality is now deprecated (rewrite all of your f**** code, you absolute dumbass…) Ugh…

I’ll try it. thank you
- Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser 1 year ago:
I’m in web dev, not quite the front end guy I have to admit. Blocking a whole site it’s more effective. full stop. site isn’t working? not sure I’m losing anything. furthermore I can whitelist my localhost during dev allowing google/facebook/twitter/etc. stuff for example, and remove it anywhere else. add that I browse only in private. also as I said, i have ublock enabled side by side with noscript: I need to fine tune something? well I have my options, you know. so no, my opinion is not objectively wrong. it’s just that we have radically different needs: you want to have the (most legitimate) chance to spend time filtering script by script, I need to be quick around things. It’s my way better than yours? prolly not, but that vm helps me a lot. peace.
- Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser 1 year ago:
nope not quite as effective in my opinion. also I use them both, ah ah ah. Anyways, Brave founder seems to be Javascript creator, so… NoScript seems more adequate as a joke.
- Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser 1 year ago:
I’ve read the article via Firefox, with NoScript enabled. Am I doing this right?
