This comment is filled with replies from obviously privileged people. I’m very glad there’s people who can look at the world and still think it’s more good than bad, and I sure hope those are the majority, but that’s simply not the case for everyone. Some people unfortunately live with fear not because they read too many news, but simply because the world is hostile to them, and we have to acknowledge that as well.
Depends. I remember reading a while ago that the average time for a person to fall asleep is 15 minutes. I personally believe I fall asleep instantly, but maybe that’s just me not being conscious enough during those 15 minutes to remember them.
What makes you think they haven’t? I don’t buy it for one bit that people simply have kids on impulse, and you can question an impulse and come out the other end still wanting to go through with it.
Wow, seeing that warrior sprite on the home page filled me with memories. RPGMaker was my first introduction to game dev when I was around 10 years old (even if I never wrote any actual code). My home computer was Linux so I had to go to a friends’ house to play around with the tool, and we had a lot of fun just making dumb things that were never seen by anyone but ourselves.
Also, one of my earliest computer game memories is of an RPG Maker game that retold the story of Dragon Ball Z. That was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time, and I think this is my first time thinking about it in 15 years. Thank you for this post.
Is this an actual saying? It made me think of Twin Peaks (season 3) where one character runs a conspiracy, conservative radio show and sells golden shovels that his listeners proudly display.
Nix shell isn't supposed to provide file system isolation. It is a package manager after all, so what it does best is give a consistent dev environment with isolated dependencies. At that point if the program access mutable state and you want to prevent it (to a reasonable degree), you should use Docker or do it through the command line (like making $HOME point to somewhere else).
That does sound like a scary prompt, but it might also work as a filter of sorts. I certainly don't care enough about comments that scaring someone away will be a concern, especially as they can always just e-mail me, so I get to pay extra attention when someone does go through it.
As an aside, I’m very impressed by the comments widget that uses Github issues. I think I might adopt it for my blog. I never cared much for comment sections, but my blog is a Github repository anyways, so I might as well use it. Thanks!
Why can't she use the same web based application on her laptop? DAWs are, by nature, extremely complicated, Linux or not. If she has something that already works, I don't see why you'd want to change.
I'd like to mention SonicPi though. It's a platform for creating music through code, and is used all over the world to teach kids both programming and music production at the same time. It's really cool.
Well, this is a disaster then. I was excited to get back to VRChat once I got a Linux compatible headset, but I guess that's not possible anymore. What a terrible change.
I can see this being used as an opportunity to ask the candidate how they'd do it differently many years later. I'm not sure if it's a useful thing to ask, but it sounds like it would spark interesting conversations.
I just left an environment like that after almost 2 years. It got to me so bad that I can't even remember what it's like to work somewhere more organized, which is why I'm excited to start my new job soon.
In my experience when it comes to software development you get what you pay for. It's why I ask for US salaries even though I live in a country with an incredibly low cost of living.
Fair enough. Since you mentioned it's a Gaming PC specifically, I assume this is a machine that's only used for that. In that case I personally wouldn't mind leaving it unprotected, but I can understand why someone else would.
If they're indexing your disk 24/7 for a better user experience and searching for something still barely works half the time, I'd be less embarrassed if it was attributed to malice.
Not to take away from your great post, but that jab at the end felt unnecessary and reductive. There are a million reasons why Windows is more popular than Linux, and while user experience is one of them in my opinion, I'd say it's not one of the most relevant.
Either way, this was a very informative post. I'll be googling these terms as soon as I'm at my desk. Thank you.
