Since the game is open source and developed with LÖVE, you can probably just download the source code, go into the root directory of the game and type 'love .' in a terminal. You need to have LÖVE installed of course.

The game might not run (rather crash) if the game uses some Windows specific dependencies.

I am also gonna add a little bit of self promotion here ...

So far I've finished one game in LÖVE, which is Paratrooper (available on macOS AppStore [0]). I have almost finished my second LÖVE game called Lethal Pongbat [1] which I will release for macOS and Windows on Steam.

I have already plans for a 3rd game that I hope to start on in the coming months and which will be a BOOM clone [2].

I learned LÖVE through the Harvard Game Programming course [3], which I can recommend anyone as a starting point into game dev. In later lessons the course also uses Unity. The course can be followed for free, but you can pay some money for some extra features.

Apple explicitly uses the EXIF data in their Photos app by displaying and organising the photos by location. I do not believe that it’s used for more than user-facing features (and training said features).
Imagine Microsoft doing this on Windows.

I think you need to write at least two interlaced stories before submitting it here, because otherwise the idea is difficult to understand. (This is my recommendation, not an official hard rule.)

Somewhat related: The current popular version of the story of "King Arthur" is a mix of a bunch of books written by different unrelated authors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur#Medieval_literary_... Are you imagining something like that?

Somewhat related: Before launching the "What if?" serie in https://what-if.xkcd.com/ he wrote the first five stories just to be sure that following his idea it was possible to write some interesting post. (I can't find the post where he describe this.) I recommend to try your method and write at least 2 stories.

Realistically, are you able to make that promise? In practice that would mean you could never sell the company, because current promises go out the window in that scenario (see every company acquired by Facebook).
Thanks for your kind words. Especially when you have several variables, speaking names are of course useful. But I think that to a loop variable an "i" fits better than a - I don't know what ...

For beginners, the one letter can be a hint that this is a variable, and the one with several letters like "len" is a keyword or a function. I once had a variable "sum" in an example program for summing up values. Some students thought this was a command to add.
Assuming good intentions here, but it is incredibly naive to not anticipate how this could lead to greater division and negative user interactions. If a user can sort by race they can also effectively create a suppression list for other races limiting exposure to new perspectives and ideas.

Humans have an inate desire to sort and categorize, but I find it backwards and dehumanizing to do so for people. I understand there is value for race and gender minorities and allies to find and support each other, but by creating labels you express your differences rather than comonalities. It is in our commonalities where we relate and find compassion for each other. When differences are highlighted in such binary terms we all become characitures of our true selves.
Hmm, I use Firefox (dev edition) on Linux and the video is playing with no problem
Another good beginner game dev framework is kaboom.js

https://kaboomjs.com/

Example project online: https://kaboomjs.com/examples#level

And just to add, if anyone has been using love2d or other frameworks like it, give GoDot a try.

I started using it a few weeks ago and it's amazing how much I'm getting done with my game.
Whois abuse reporting is the solution that is already in place and comes to mind. If you NAT segments of your network and mask your userbase from the greater internet, you inherit some responsibility for their actions, same with smtp spam as any other service.

But many carriers simply ignore or don’t respond, much less investigate. To the point that people regularly take to other means to establish backend contact with larger carriers like Comcast, resorting to list serves like nanog.

Ultimately it’s on the carriers to doll out the money to support it. But they could easily implement strike policies like DMCA reports have for many. Against both customers engaging in malicious activity snd reporters abusing the system or making spurious reports that waste resources.

However that would mean carriers like comcast would need to stop their efforts to completely frustrate communication with other NOC's etc.

Yep, I get this with guitar and signing too. If I think about it too much my voice tightens up and I'll start missing notes. The same thing with dancing. I realised long ago that I'm not naturally good at these things because I find it impossible to switch off my brain. When I dance I'm thinking "which direction should I move in" when should I spin my partner" etc. Ask anyone who dances how they know the answers to these questions and they can't tell you. They just don't think about it.
I often wonder how forcing people to self-identify with one (and only one!) of these imaginary groups is supposed to help to overcome that. Why even ask about 'race' in the census form and why is 'Ñoldor' not an option?
Huh? I assume you mean commit signing keys? I only found ssh pubkeys. What endpoint gives out the PGP keys?

I stopped purchasing from Amazon years ago. I used to have a phase where I was a really good customer, back in the 2005-2012. It felt trashy back then as well, but in a good sense. These days, Amazon is full of faked reviews, duplicate products with vast prize difference, very bad product description quality, and all the things you dont want from a reseller. Granted, for a while, we were willing to accept a certain sloppy style in exchange for the pricing, but this treshold has been crossed long ago. Me perceiving Amazon as complete trash has even spilled over into other offerings. I will not touch Alexa (for various reasons), and I am definitely not going to use their video stuff. I dont want to be customer of a company that has so little standards.

Good job. I thought the watch dials would be more radioactive than the plate.

I'm a watchmaker, and know the radioactivity of old dials, and hands, are not dangerous unless snorting the inside of watches, but it is still on my mind when Servicing.

Old Westclock dials/hands supposedly are higher in radioactivity than other brands.

I'm currently in Michigan (U.S.) - where liquor distribution is a state monopoly, retail sale requires a state license, the state takes as large a cut of the revenue as it pleases, etc. And - Apple lawyers must be green with envy - that whole setup is legally backed by the 25th Amendment (U.S. Constitution).

"Sin taxes" (heavy taxes on alcohol, tobacco, etc.) are very popular with normal voters and greedy politicians. But doubtless the Big Shots in the liquor industry are quietly practicing all the usual political sleaze - campaign donations, well-connected lobbyists, wining & dining, regulatory capture, ... - in attempts to influence things in their own favor.

Point 1 - Even if those Big Shots get nowhere with their political sleaze...the fact that they can try, try, try does provide feelings of empowerment, and an emotional outlet. Big Shots in the Apple App industry don't get either of those.

Point 2 - If I was buying a beer, and had heard that $Brewer was in a big legal fight with the state over this setup - I'd probably get an $Other_Brewer beer instead. It's an unpleasant reminder that my few-dollar beer is making the rich & powerful even richer. And strongly suggests that $Brewer is run by greedy MBAs - vs. the idealistic craft brewmasters that beer companies seem more inclined to highlight in their advertising. Snap's CEO is [cough] probably aware of such appearances and their value.

I don't agree. The one line summary should be enough to contextualize the rest. It isn't necessary to suck the joy out of funny commit messages to help the few people who don't bother to read the summary.

Of course, naming variables funny names is probably a less good idea since variables will often have to convey meaning on their own. But that isn't true of the funny paragraph in this commit.

Look at it positively. At least the rollback is working. Our version of rollback is to redeploy the old version and hope that the database migrations will work with the old one.

> we didn't know enough about our product direction to make any truly informed decisions.

Bingo. Very few programmers are working on projects that they have many years of domain expertise in, so the data models we come up with are always going to be limited to our experience in the here and now. It's one thing to organize highly technical code around things like graph algorithms are combining multiple b-trees in a single operation to lookup data, it's a whole different thing to tackle line-of-business problems where things are not so well defined (even to the in-house domain experts).
Yeah it's crazy how QUICKLY amazon.ca turned into a flea market. It was getting bad for a few years now but until recentlu you could at rely on it for some essential/basic electronics.

But I had a hard time getting a "reputable" USB-C Cable a few weeks ago, & all of them were basically obviously "too good to be true" clone cables from generic brands that you know won't actually work. Getting good cables/electronics for a lot cheaper was what got me into Amazon in the first place but now I'd rather buy everything from best buy or Walmart and avoid a huge headache. Everything from good brands has been perpetually out of stock or outright unavailable anymore.

Appliances are somehow even worse, like the last few things I've bought there were outright unsafe and almost always had misleading listings/pictures. I mean at least on Aliexpress you pretty much know what you will get, and (good) stores are usually honest about their products.

(I'm not sure if it's still the case but for almost the entirety of 2020 Amazon support was only available through emails that could take 48h to get a reply to, apparently because of coronavirus (?? Isn't chat pretty much perfect for remote work) so good luck even getting a refund especially for less expensive items that aren't worth a few days of back and forth)
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it :) Let me know if you have a chance to give it a try and have any questions or I can help in any way.

> if you have a seized messageboard and an upload record from an IP address, and that's all you have, how do you investigate?

If I ran a message board, not only would I not capturing the upload IPs in any log files (hello GDPR in any case), I'd be tempted to put fake upload IPs in instead -- change the first two or three octets so the logs point to a government owned range.
Can you see the revival of blogging and RSS?
What I'm paying for with Amazon (compared to Aliexpress) is easier return/refunds.
> I'm baffled by people still claiming "desktop Linux hasn't arrived" when they put up with this shit.

I'm sorry, you say that as though Linux Desktop doesn't have a giant pile of its own shit to put up with. Windows definitely isn't perfect, but I'll still take its shit any day over Linux Desktop's.
well it was a nice try mr zuckerberg
Just something I noticed: the pricing information on the frontpage and the pricing page does not seem to match.
No one gets it right, and it's just grandstanding to pretend that "deliberate effort" is the distinguishing difference between good or bad data models. Unless you're dealing with highly specialized technical scenarios, most software is written to solve ambiguous and nebulous business problems that even the business doesn't necessarily understand.
I'd like to believe that (though Business Server doesn't even have the excuse of being in German language) but I can't find anything about that term on the linked Wikipedia page.
I'm wanting to get one of these printed but can't tell what weight of card to order. Can anyone explain what "Cardstock (90lbs)" means in gsm? There seem to be two kinds of 90 lb cardstock - cover and index, which are completely different weights.
That is insulting to all the billions of people trampled under the boot of capitalism throughout history. Capitalism is synonymous with imperialism. From its beginnings with colonial companies it is an ideology of violence and destruction of the many for the benefit of the few.

Yes, I'm glad you live at the top of the pyramid in a comfortable American existence (a lifestyle which if everybody on the planet led we'd already be extinct), but don't forget the billions who aren't reaping those benefits.
I don't care what the others are doing per se. In fact, I think it's optimal if everyone else would wear a mask all the time.

What bothers me is that the sort of inconsistency I described is emblematic of the same muddled thinking that the CDC has demonstrated throughout. This is a problem for a number of reasons.

When people don't understand the reasoning behind a policy they are less likely to comply with it and it will lead to excess deaths.

Another reason is that, if no explanation or an incoherent explanation is given for a recommendation, people have to decide whether to follow it based solely on trust or the authority of the recommender. I don't think either of these is good for the long term health of society. You can see how this problem has manifested itself in the resistance of many people to being vaccinated or wearing masks.
That is right, facebook is the new AOL in many regards. It has a completely different structure, too many Web native services adopted the portal model. Companies like Yahoo tried to build AOL or CompuServe but on the Web. Facebook is the ultimate successor to that model, but it took a radically different structure for the service, away from the hierarchical model, to get it to work.

Windows 3.0 wasn't object oriented. It was written in assembly and C, so there weren't any classes to build a class map from. I know, it's hard to believe these days, but that's why the Tools team and in fact almost everyone else implemented their own GUI controls.

The same was also true of MacOS. The Xerox Parc people did demo Smalltalk to Steve Jobs, but he was too bedazzled by their GUI work to notice. It was only later he realised how important object oriented software was, and ran with it at NeXT.

In fact this difference is even visible today. NeXT built their OS GUI layer up from low level object oriented frameworks and these are what you use to build applications. The entire structure of the OS is oriented around enabling the creation of applications. The modern Mac of course inherits this approach. On Windows the OS is mainly services applications can use. There is of course a suite of GUI controls and components but they're very basic. Microsoft's developer tools are a different silo, in fact several silos. That's why they are forever coming up with new fancy GUI frameworks sitting alongside the native controls like MFC, .NET Forms, WPF, etc. Now they've finally given up and adopted Electron.

The customers who don't like the console system can game on a PC. It's not a perfect substitute, but it's pretty close. Is there any real equivalent that offers more user control for smartphones though? Stock Android is a bit less restrictive, but still pretty bad, and custom ROMs are extremely niche.
Microsoft engaged in a lot of anticompetitive practices, though it doesn't explain all of their success it certainly helped.
Oh thanks for pointing that out. To be honest, I never pay attention to that. But I will give it plenty of attention from now on, because I'm very impatient and hate waiting 4-5 weeks for something!

I agree that a VPN isn't a solution, but for a different reason: a solution needs to work regardless of the local laws.

The flip side of this is that some of the best elite penalty takers essentially outthink the opposing goalkeeper. The safest penalty is placed slightly to the opposite side to the one the keeper dives to, which has plenty of margin for error (and if the keeper doesn't move early they're not saving anything that isn't down the middle)

Smashing a ball into the top corner [without needing to think about it] is also unsaveable and popular with elite penalty takers, but the margin for error in how you actually kick the ball is smaller: a slight miscue and your penalty is off target (or a "nice height" for a keeper that reads where you're shooting).

It's not the third-party, that's for sure. Sellers on Amazon are almost entirely at the mercy of the honesty and good graces of the buyer. And, thanks to the rise of "drop shipping your way to riches!" "gurus" that have proliferated the web over the last few years, the Amazon marketplace has become a sewer of white-labeled identical (trash quality, usually) products all sourced from manufacturers on sites like Alibaba.

There are some things you can do better on instinct and some things you need to be conscious.

Shooting penalty kicks falls into the former. Organizing the soccer match into the later :)

Even on the instinctual level, you need consciousness to hone your instincts. For example things like physical therapy or even athletic training are conscious interventions to reshape your instinct. The best penalty kickers in the world likely made a conscious choice at some point to practice these kicks until their good form became habitual.
