coppolaemilio··on Show HN: Linkpreview, see how your sites looks in social media and chat apps
I thought exactly the same! Also, I'm not sure why, but LinkedIn is showing all of our pages with the wrong image. If someone is smart enough to figure it out please let me know. Get any blog-post from the godotengine.org site and paste it in linkedin and you'll see how the image that gets pulled is the auther of the post instead of the thumbnail of the article. I wasn't able to figure it out.
coppolaemilio··on Kottke.org is 25 years old today
I loved this one. I opened two articles and both were interesting. Thank you for sharing!
coppolaemilio··on Cobble_stone – The texture of your childhood (2021)
Reminded me about this amazing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsCN0Yx2Vbs
coppolaemilio··on A guide for playing The Sims 1 on Intel and ARM Macs
I recently tried to run it but failed! I even considered making an old PC just to play that. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

I never stopped listening to the build mode songs from this game, they are the best tracks to get me full nostalgia mode.

coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: What happened to drone delivery service?
This mini-documentary explains it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-M98KLgaUU

TL;DW: No-fly zones, costs, and drones not being intelligent enough to detect where they are going to drop off packages. It is cheaper and easier to do the last mile via traditional methods than dealing with all the risks and limitations of flying.

coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?
I am in the same situation at the moment and it is a bit sad. I've been trying to do more "solo" work because I'm the only constant in my musical journey. I envy bands that last for a long time because they can make it work, but I had to travel a lot and it made it impossible to have a band that would endure even the smallest of hiatus.

At the same time, every time I am with musicians that "made it" only talk about how miserable is to tour and how horrible it is to be constantly doing music for a living, so I feel lucky to make money out of software development. But I guess the stupid teenage dream still lives somewhere in me.

coppolaemilio··on Godot 3.5
Hey, I'm curious to know what are some of those "weird opinions at a maintainer level". I would love to know more about your experience using it at such scale.
coppolaemilio··on [dead]
It really looks like a bot.
coppolaemilio··on The Decline of Heroku
I'm trying to use it but it can't access private repos even if my github account is linked. Not sure what's wrong...
coppolaemilio··on On the death of my family's dairy farm (2019)
Did you know that the soybeans planted there are 100% to feed cattle?
coppolaemilio··on Making Advanced GUI Applications with Godot
I did a lot of tutorials on my YouTube channel on how to start making GUI applications with Godot. The visual scripting is really bad for now, so I would stick with GDScript (a Python like language) or C#. It is really a great piece of software to make something quick for non-technical people. I really recommend anyone to explore and play with it a bit and I'm sure you'll find a use for this amazing engine.
coppolaemilio··on Time to Upgrade Your Monitor
Another OW player in HN? :) I feel the same about the 144hz monitor I have, only really worth it for playing OW, the rest of the time is nice but I feel like I'm not getting enough out of it. Maybe next monitor I get will be 4k, but not sure for now.
coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: Why do such strong opinions exist in our industry?
The trending frameworks might be because we usually get tired of working with the same technology over and over again. The moment of learning something new is always exciting and once it wears out I guess that starting with "the new thing" recreates that feeling momentarily so we start rationalizing about it. There is also in my opinion the big problem of being able to do the same thing with many different tools, it always generates this kind of conflicts of which one is better, but at the end of the day, any tool can be "the best one" depending on the team.
coppolaemilio··on Godot Engine Awarded $50k by Mozilla Open Source Support Program
I did some youtube tutorials on it and also have a repo with a dictionary if you want to start translating some of your knowledge https://github.com/coppolaemilio/gamemaker-godot-dictionary
coppolaemilio··on iPad Pro as Development Machine
Too much configuration to even get started!! and the fact that you can't work offline makes this setup so much worse than a regular laptop for my regular use :( I wish there was a better dev environment on the ipad already
coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: What documentary had an impact on you?
Earthlings. It wasn't instant but couldn't get it out of my head until I started living in a different way.
coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: What documentary had an impact on you?
This documentary changed the way I see the world. It was great to meet all the people around the world from different chapters and some of them are still my friends today. I really thank it a lot even if most of it is just BS. Still made a huge impact in my life.
coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: Do you shut down your service in the EU due to Article 13 upload filter?
If it pass I will have to close my small podcast hosting services just to avoid any legal issues.
coppolaemilio··on Gitea: Open source, self-hosted GitHub alternative
You need to docker those dockers to make it docker.
coppolaemilio··on Does using react/redux slow down development?
I'd say it does. I'm not sure why everyone is using it regardless of the problem to fix.
coppolaemilio··on De-Google-ify Internet
Seems like they have the code. Now they need a Framadesigner to make the things look framagood.
coppolaemilio··on //TLIILB = “This Line Is Intentionally Left Blank”
I'm sure there is a better way to avoid this
coppolaemilio··on Luxe: free, cross platform, open source, rapid development game engine

coppolaemilio··on Answers to front-end developer job interview questions
Yeah, I prefer working with the person 10 times more than selecting only based on a test.
coppolaemilio··on Migrating to Python 3 with pleasure
the Path thing is incredible! I wasn't aware of it. I'll definitively be replacing my os.path.join calls for a more readable version of it.
coppolaemilio··on Darktable 2.4.0 released
It is a joke :)
coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: Has working remotely harmed your career growth?
I certainly feel that if I were not remote I would be in a better position by now. Being one of the few remotes of the company makes me feel like I'm missing out on some of the office dynamics that enable your career growth. Maybe in teams where there are more remote positions this is different, but that's how I feel.
coppolaemilio··on Apple Buys Shazam to Boost Apple Music
It is already working. It is not that simple to start from scratch and get it working properly + the DB and everything
coppolaemilio··on CSS usage on the web platform
transition is at 0%?
coppolaemilio··on Ask HN: Which Startups Should Have an Open Source Alternative That Don't?
Most of them already have, not sure what you are looking for but the main issue with all the alternatives is that they are not popular enough or are just pestered with bugs.
