I'm also from St.Bernard, greetings my fellow Bernardian!

I'll do my best: "That guy is pretty dumb, man."

Chilean dialect of spanish is wild. Only a chilean can understand this:

"el weon weon, weon."

This is nice. but since google is probably training on it's vast google books data set, i'm not extremely surprised.

It seems to be back up, but we had a 7 minute 52 second downtime here.

> It feels undignified, humiliating at times.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation and I know that feeling very well. But it's something that I suspect happens to all of us as we grow older. The fact is, that younger people exist. It might happen that they will be your boss, it might happen that you will be the boss of them, or a combination of both. But it should never feel undignified and humiliating just because of their age alone.

There are other facts about relationships with people that you should be more sensitive about: Do they treat you with respect? Do they listen to you? Do they tell you the truth? Will they help you when you need it?

It can be difficult, but I would start a deep introspection about this subject.

What it helps me to overcome this feelings is the fact that I internalized the thought "my job is not my life". There are activities I pursue outside my job that define me much better as a person and in that domain, I'm my own boss.

I have the same experience. I started to notice about 6 months ago. It's happening a lot more often that i'm frustrated with results even when looking for trivial stuff. My last search frustration was: 'bitmitigate'. I had to make a benchmark of CDN services and their company site isn't on the first page like other products i'm searching for. I suspect it's because this company had business with alt-right imageboards, but it scares the shit of me if this kind of political controversies are incorporated now in google's algorythm.

By contrast, searching 'bitmitigate' on DDG produces the expected outcome: the first result is the official .com site of the company.

(Edit: added the last paragraph comparing to duckduckgo)

You would think your logic makes sense in an anti-vaxxer, but there's many components to their ideology. I believe they are suspicious to anything that's mandatory. I presume this nasal vaccine will be mandatory (at least here in Chile government already determined when the vaccine arrives it will be obligation in risk groups) and would conform to their worldview of evil globalists killing the population for their kids to inherit an empty world.

That's the most unfunny over-elaborate April fools idea I've heard. The fact that nobody thought it could backfire and the passive aggressive nature of the idea speaks loudly of how out of touch with reality Google engineers are.

Here in Santiago, Chile, where many neighborhoods are in complete lockdown, a wild Puma was seen roaming the streets[1]. This was their natural habitat before the city was established, and many of them still live in the mountains, which are not far from the busiest streets of Santiago.

Please note this is hosted on the BitcoinSV (BSV) network, which is not the same as the Bitcoin network that we all know as BTC.

BitcoinSV has much bigger blocks than Bitcoin, which is probably why this idea is possible.

While the same idea could be applied for the original Bitcoin network, that is far more popular, it would be highly impractical as blocks are smaller and transaction costs are higher.

I don't want to start another big/small blocks debate but if this idea gets popular, I doubt there will be many nodes that want to host the insane amount of data that will be accumulated, and the incentives for hosting a full node cost-effectively is the main reason why Bitcoin blocks are small.

I also sense a malicious intention with the website not making any reference to the fact that this is not the BTC network that 99.9% of visitors associate with the word Bitcoin.

QBASIC.EXE! When I was in high school, there was this small program (small enough you won't delete for extra space for games) included with DOS that contained everything you needed to create a small program.

Today's official answer would be Visual Studio on Windows or Xcode on macOS which aren't simple or small.

The most similar contemporary approach to that simple game making is probably the 2D game engine LÖVE, which is awesome

You cannot tell from the Steam screenshots but most of the cards do have abilities and gameplay is very strategic:

The fact that it's almost never done doesn't discredit that it will always be possible.

Coinbase is also able to operate their business without asking for permission thus censorship-resistant in contrast to the experience of trying to start a bank from scratch

I host my own postfix server on FreeBSD and use the Evolution IMAP client on Linux. I haven't been in a situation where I need web access to mail in years so for me it's equivalent.

I started out about 6 months ago with this great guide:

https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/mail-server-guide/

The cost of a convenience like having a free email account is participating in the demise of the protocol-based networks that we have replaced with centralized products. There's many other great IMAP clients and maybe some of the features of Gmail/Inbox can be recreated using server side rules and scripts.

On dappradar DAUs are measured by transactions to the smart contracts, which probably means a user is acquiring or trading a token. While writing to the blockchain is costly, it's free to read and verify between users the ownership of assets. Users of DApp games know this, as putting two cryptocollectibles to fight against each other requires only a read operation that will not be reflected in ranking sites.

It would be a concern if real competition was allowed in the x86_64 CPU space. Monopolistic patents, in this case, create the opposite incentives

I will remove the link to make clear that this is not about my product.

The incentives for building a crypto product with real intentions of bringing a product to people vs. writing a whitepaper for fundraising are alarming.

Besides the rising fees (which can be mitigated with added protocol layers like lightning) the real problem is people understanding cryptocurrencies as investment. "Crypto investors" and people hoping to get rich quick who don't understand the fundamental philosophy of Bitcoin/Crypto are strangling innovation by adding "noise" attention to whatever developers like us "signal" are making.

Personally, I hope the bubble bursts, everyone lose their money and we go back to the original community of people building stuff, who see cryptocurrency as a technology, not an "investment". If Bitcoin drops to $1, I will still write software for it and won't miss the 'craze' factor.

for me, anyone who understand Bitcoin as "investment" is a sucker. The value of bitcoin is orthogonal to it's function as digital cash system. If Bitcoin drops to 0.001 we can still use it to make transactions in software.

My prediction is that atomic swaps and lightning networks will reinforce the position of Bitcoin as a technology tool and crypto "Investors" will have wasted lots of money and time watching stupid graphs and "market caps" when the price adjusts to the real cost of mining and securing the coins.

I appreciate the honesty in this post and I'm pretty sure we people who make games can all learn from this.

having said that, before relating to the story please take into consideration he is going solo at it. Difficulties are very different if you are working as a team: It's a lot more expensive but a collaborative approach to creation can yield better odds of success if they can look at the game from different points of view (story, graphics, programming)

I'm not in favor of either approaches to game development, but Please remember that following your guts on creative work is both a blessing and a curse, and teamwork is a totally different beast.
