Awww, leave little SQLite alone, stick to picking on MySQL

Shoot, maybe! An x64 tablet might be preferred but the deck makes a pretty strong case.

Fuck it. Next phone is a flip phone. I haven’t used an “app” in months. I can get a mobile computation device and since it doesn’t have to deal with the locked down phone ecosystem it will be no difficulty.

No, they moved to Discord because there was a for-profit corporation that was extremely motivated to move people to Discord. Mumble is better in every way that an anti-consumerist cares about.

Mumble is THE SHIT.

I remember texture mapped graphics on a 6502.

Corporate Needs You to Find the Differences

Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one.

You are being facetious, but the question demands an answer: there IS no good reason for investors. It’s very likely Rockstart genuinely would not have made as much money developing new properties as they did exploiting their established ones. And if they did, it would have been a gamble vs a virtual sure thing.

The demands of capital are not compatible with art. These companies don’t serve our needs, they exploit our desires. Don’t buy art from corporations, buy it from artists.

When I came across this (not for the first time) a few years ago, I was staggered. It was like I saw a kid shooting hoops when graduated from elementary school in the 90s, came back 30 years later, and saw the same kid still shooting hoops with a beard around his knees. I really aught to see what three decades of development produced…

Please be merciful to vulnerable individuals that are in your power not to murder.

Afraid and aroused by the dark?

They didn’t have enough pixels when I was kid.

So that’s two things to look forward to!

So brave and noble. One presumes he has kept his curse a secret up until this moment, but greater needs demand he take on its full burden.

Bi representation feels good.

So, ARE you bringing a girl?

I don’t think “programmer” fully captures the reality of being an emacs-based programmer.

Content theft is a separate issue. We can agree to ban the fruits of content theft without drawing arbitrary technical taboos.

Markov chains are both probabilistic and data-driven. For example. LLMs are not that far removed from markov chains. Should game developers be allowed to use latent spaces or is that too sloppy AI?

Okay, but (ignoring that procedural generation can also be probabilistic) what is the functional difference? The point I’m getting at is that you cannot banish the one without necessarily limiting the other.
