Plenty of coding practices from 1999 are completely unacceptable today.

Yes. That is why Apple requires you to get your code signed.

Please don’t use that term in the way you’re using it. It’s offensive and unnecessary.

I'm quoting the guy above me. Go tell him.

1. You also need to pay apple a subscription, update your hardware, change your build process. I think there is also a review step during the build.

2. All the existing tooling (not the game, but the build process) will need to be 64 bit to run on this new hardware. So the build needs to be re-worked

3. People on Mac require more support, which is harder because dev is not a Mac user.

Do these guys complain this much about releasing games on consoles too?

> you are effective requiring your users to give you root access

Wait, it's either code sign and you don't get root or don't code sign and get root? How retarded is macOS? Why is there no "no code sign and no root, just run as the user"?

I'm pretty sure on Linux if you wanted to run Quake3 you had to run as root due to needing direct access to the GPU. Is Linux "retarded" too?

This point of view contributes just as much to the corruption of politics as people who may actually be acting it out, because it implicitly asserts that there are no values in play beyond power.

There may be no way of knowing for sure if anyone involved genuinely holds principles above power. But there are absolutely issues of principle in play, and in a well-functioning representative society, everyone has the privilege of lining up behind principles to give them currency.

Personally, I'm behind the idea that our head of state should be determining benefits offered to foreign nations by recognizable general national interest, not by personal interest, or partisan interest, certainly including tying foreign participation in investigation theater to aid.

Hell, I'm behind the idea that our head of state should have a coherent concept of what the national interest is.

But then again, that'd require voters who have some idea of this. And citizens who have a vision of society that's more than a struggle for status and privilege for those who achieve it.

So, shouldn't you be in favor of the investigation into Biden? Since that is exactly what he did.

povertyworld commented on Online courses vs. colleges for software engineering   raahul.me/posts/online-co... · Posted by u/cplat

Weird comment. You can get a college degree just for showing up.

Do you have a PhD, or did you give up? Do you have a high school degree, or did you give up? Do you still work at the first job you ever had, or did you give up?

I wish my Computers and Society professor got the memo that you can get a degree just for showing up. Could have skipped that 20 page paper on software patents.
