  What this shows is how terrible raw JS is, when all of this crap is required to fix all of the edge cases and make things actually work the way it’s supposed to.

  If you get ghosted, it only proves that that person is emotionally immature and wasn’t ready for a relationship anyway, so they did you a favor by outing themself.

  This is not useful now, nor will something like this ever be useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"They don’t care": Inside the triumphs and failures of accessible gaming hardware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games don’t even have fucking KEYBINDS, which the most basic of accessibility features.

  This will only change when stores (like Steam) start cataloguing these types of features and letting people setup default filters to hide all games without them.

  The users have to make them hear that releasing any game without basic accessibility options is unacceptable. This will only happen when the majority is pushing for it, not just those that need the options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity announces its revamped pricing model | After outcry from the gaming community, Unity revealed a new plan that’s a drastic departure from what was initially announced.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The damage was not the actual pricing (which was cheaper than Unreal), the reason people are going to leave for Unreal/Godot and never come back is the loss of trust. Nobody wants to be chained down to a company that’s willing to pull the rug out like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Help] what's one of the easier ways to make a window on linux using x11 and nasm assembly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re using assembly, then you’ve already given up on the easy ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity's Plan Won't Work, but Someone Else's Will | TechnoFeudalism in Games and Beyond⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Except Unreal already had the same kind of pricing structure that Unity is trying to move towards, that’s why Unity thought they could get away with it.

  No, it’s not in Vivaldi

  Vivaldi doesn’t (and won’t) have it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you balance rapid iteration and merging/upgrading?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Semantic versioning. Moving from v2.3 to v2.4 shouldn’t require major changes, but moving to v3.0 can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows feature that resets system clocks based on random data is wreaking havoc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like the heuristic is taking multiple samples only uses them if they are within some consistency threshold, to hedge against the cases where the field has random data.

  The reason it only fails rarely and randomly is because it only happens when multiple actually random timestamps happen to line up around the same time.

  Sort of like how several applications have failure modes when two different files happen to have the same hash.

  Turns out developers are bad at statistics and probabilities.

  So what? Malicious extensions can do anything. Don’t run untrusted code on any computer you care about, ever. This is true for any IDE extension, any NPM package, any mod pack, etc.

  There is no such thing, nor will there ever be such a thing, as an accurate deepfake detector.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does people who hold beliefs that are rooted in hatred ever change to become a better person?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The only way to change someone’s core values is to show them the error of their ways WITHIN their own current value system.

  If you can manage to find some purchase there you might have a chance, but it’s more likely that you will not find it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that last part is entirely accurate. The reason the weak gravity causes tides is actually because it’s acting over the entire ocean all at once.

  It turns out that the ocean is a bit heavy… when you add up the entire mass of all of the water, this imparts quite a substantial bit of potential energy. This can be seen as a “bulge” outward in the moon’s direction, making the planet look a little “squished”.

  If the planet were perfectly smooth, this probably would be fairly stable as the bulge wrapped around the planet… however, because we have continents and the sea floor, this movement of water crashes into the land and causes ripple effects with a huge amount of kinetic energy.

  I don’t think it would take more that a few years for this process to ramp up to our current level of tides, if there were some way of doing such a ramp up in a controlled way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a email-provider where i can host my oen domain⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need a mail server if all you want is a custom email domain. You can just use something like CloudFlare DNS to have them forward all emails to your domain to another private email address (e.g. Gmail).
