It may be difficulty to do properly but then we shouldn’t throw our hands up and do nothing instead? Surely we can come up with a better practice better then filling the release form’s required details field with “Bug Fixes and performance Improvements” every single release? Here’s a quick skimmed list of iOS apps I see doing this currently: Carvana Cash App IMDB Kick Turo Twitch Instagram Prime Video I’ll stop now as it’s nearly every app. Even Apple’s own apps do this— directly from the company who controls the UI of the app store and the developer experience of filling out the form with placeholder messages
This is the novelty price point. When mainstream supply and demand will adjust to reasonable value.
Who ever thought obots designing human interfaces would be a fruitful endeavor?

Been using OS X, MacOS for nearly two decades and never knew emacs was included!

Heads up, you need to add a CSS rule to make the game playable on mobile browsers. Otherwise the page zooms in whenever you tap the controller.

Alternatively, document your code.

The implied scenario being that the memory of its own output would result in the model producing degraded future output? Why is that a given?

Nobody thinks Electron applications are lightweight. Maybe you have heard someone refer to PWAs as lightweight applications surrogates
I enjoyed the article cited within this one about Celeste’s (unspoken/explained) leeway with its controls and how they contribute to a good feeling platformer.

There is a rhetorical ambiguity in saying “it’s cultural” rather than “it’s Russian cultural”.

Re:Setting expectations for open source participation (2018) on Wednesday August 07, 2024 @06:46PM (#41186319)
this all sounds pretty reasonable and, honestly, a given.

> you should view open source as a series of kind acts people have done altruistically

> just because open source software is free for you doesn't mean someone else hasn't paid some price on your behalf to get you that code

Maybe this is directed towards people who don't write software?
