Very interesting, but I can't help but wonder: are developers really interested in working on an iPad? I feel like this is exactly the kind of job where a laptop is more efficient, for a couple reasons: 1/ Physical keyboard 2/ Over extended periods of time, even though more intuitive, touchscreen feels more exhausting to use than touchpad because you can't easily rest your hands.

And if the targeted usage is "iPad with a keyboard on a desk" well, at this point it's mostly a laptop anyway so as a developer why even bother getting a tablet in the first place?

Kids, I'd suspect. More and more of them are stuck exclusively on tablets.

From what I can tell, there isn't even a version of Roblox Studio available. Scratch seems to work though.

facts.

anyone intentionally migrating infrastructure to the cloud in 2024 hasnt seen the bill, or is spending the taxpayers pound.

"Gov.uk notify" isnt a critical business service. it doesnt need multi-az or multi region failover. running a docker container itself isnt a feat of achievement.

you could save money over the longterm by running a pair of pizzaboxes in Cardiff and Edenborough running orchestrator. hell, you could arguably run notify in a pensioners basement off a pi powered by a solar panel.

TeaDude · a year ago

I'm really disappointed that "Edenborough" isn't some hitherto unknown place with a similar name to the one I'm thinking of.

This is neat! And cool to hear this made a financial difference for them. Gah, I remember the name Chevy Ray from indie games, but I cannot put my finger on what this person made… would have been like 2010 to 2012?

In the same vein as VVVVVV or nidhogg or canabalt as I recall

This is cool as hell but why sell yourself short? The rest of the tree is pretty cool too.

Now lets see if someone can dredge up the Tribes 2 source code and we'll have a perfect recreation of my summers in the computer labs.

TeaDude · 2 years ago

IIRC Torque3D is based on Tribes 2 but a lot has been replaced over the years.

That usb a to usb a cable is beyond cursed.

TeaDude · 2 years ago

If only USB was peer to peer like FireWire. Then again, there'd probably be some trade-off to that.

> There are already many games that are not playable because servers used for DRM were turned off

I'll need a source for that.

TeaDude · 2 years ago

Just off the top of my head, Ross Scott on youtube (AccursedFarms) has plenty of videos on the subject. A few of them are tucked away in reviews but he now has a dedicated "dead game news" series.

These may not be games you'd want to play but the important message is that it's concerning that the biggest publishers (Ubisoft, EA etc.) can release stuff that will randomly die at some point in the future for no good reason and that they won't even release a patch or server software so you can play the product you paid them for.

It's a fun little thing but BEWARE! It's still a bit buggy and crashy* and rough around the edges. You can kinda see what Zep is going for but a lot of it is quite mysterious and there's little in the way of API docs (as-in, people are having to print all the global lua tables to figure out how to do stuff)

*Not as much as 0.1a but there's still kinks to be worked out for 0.1c.

TeaDude · 2 years ago

I've always wondered what Japanese console style games would look like on the Amiga and whether it was underpowered or I just didn't like the design of most of it's games.

Bonk got a fab conversion by Factor 5 but they were wizards.

Completely detached from the debugging experience but that actually looks like a cute little custom GUI framework ...and it's all in C!
