We are off-topic regards the original question but I haven't found many people who seem to grasp this and is the reason I am very cagey about supporting any combination of gaming and blockchain. Publishers have spent years wrestling control away from players and moving everyone into walled gardens - like Netflix - where they can control your purchase agreements, or roll their own content markets. In what universe are these organisations going to knock down their centralised control and turn it over to a blockchain? It won't happen. I know Epic have made a PR point of saying they're open to blockchain but wait until the details are made clear for all to see. I guarantee it won't be what people think.

If that's the case where you work then I wish you good luck!

I recently received my Dygma Raise [1] after backing on Kickstarter and also beta tested their proof-of-concept tech, the "Shortcut". Their old version used a thumbstick but abandoned it after feedback; I was a little disappointed but they opted for switching the space into four separate keys which I find pretty good as an alternative.

Very glad these kinds of devices are gaining attention. At worst, a better gaming experience. At best, tackling RSI and allowing us to type/game for longer.

Rainway continues to impress me.

Definitely isn't.

Probably because it's not a theory with any substantial evidence.

What's realtime perf like?

Please note that you need to be eligible to work in the UK to apply for this position.

It's possible to leave servers. I was also irritated by the exact behaviour you described, until I figured out how to leave servers. You can also mute all notifications from a server.

+1 My HyperX Cloud 2's are the only over-ear headset I'll ever use again. Fantastic sound, build quality and comfort.

Quick answer: Headphones and music/white noise.

Long answer: If you really feel this strongly about your working environment then you should seriously consider telling your manager. It's in their best interests that you're happy/comfortable/working as smoothly as you can. If they can't or won't change your situation, look for another employer. Ten years, Christ.

+1 The XPS is a fantastic line

Clojure (LISPs, more generally)

This is fantastic. AFAIK there are no Lisps our there that are designed with games in mind which is a huge shame because I often think how perfect it'd be for game dev (Arcadia and Nightmod spring to mind but imo they're shoehorns. Good ones, but still).

.co.uk seems fine but confirm .com returns 500.

Isn't that fairly subjective? Some people find Lisp hard to parse and therefore to maintain but that doesn't mean it's inherently unmaintainable.

Not even a mention of ClojureScript? :(

Digital Ocean

A quick glance at the source reveals a thing of beauty. Definitely a good reference for anyone looking for inspiration from a well-managed C++ project.

T1D here too, echoing your sentiments. It's a terrifying reality to face. Perhaps foolish to say but I think I'd rather lose all of my limbs (another fun possibility for diabetics) before I lose my vision. Huge respect to the author.

Apps for just a single OS _in this day and age_ upset me :( Why is this OSX only? What element of it could only be achieved or expressed on a Mac? Disappointing. I want to use it but I can't.

Iceworld is brilliant design relative to what it set out to do - strip away the context and provide an arena to practice your aim. The only thing it doesn't do is provide elevation (other than if you or someone else jumps on a center wall, but that's asking for trouble), but other than that you've pretty much got everything else.

It must be such a weight around Adobe's neck, supporting Flash as it dies. I pity the guy who's job it is to maintain it indefinitely.

I'm afraid I agree with the alternative sentiment, that is to say that this whole thing is a 'PR hoax'. Kudos to Apple for playing the game and coming out looking like the benevolent and merciful master, humbled by the pleas of his peons.

This is incredible. I LOVE stuff like this. It makes me so happy that people like this still exist in the world. I say 'still' because I feel like they're a dying breed. The rationale behind everything he's done is laid bare and it makes sense! People like this don't ever let a detail like "I have no idea how to achieve this" stand in their way. Everything is a challenge or problem that needs solving.

I'd agree. With that much experience, this is average for most places north of Birmingham.

You know, actually, this is a fair point. I'm almost ashamed of myself for not being more open-minded. What's better than a hack to tickle a curiosity?

This is interesting. I've had success in the past at running Hy [1] (a Lisp running on Python) on a Raspberry Pi as well. This could be a nice, speedier alternative, however you lose the Python ecosystem.

Although I appreciate that this isn't technically "written in JavaScript" but it follows the principle.

Nope, and neither should you.
