Precisely because credits are not really a commodity, so some buyers have preferences about what credits to buy and how much they are willing to pay. There are some subset of buyers and sellers who pretend that all credits are the same, but usually that's an excuse to pay for the cheapest possible credits (which in many cases achieve nothing).
It’s just a card that can be used to beat someone over the head with the law harder because ‘they definitely knew better’. Eventually (seems like CA is trying?) there will be paperwork that needs to

To move market demand to them. They’re offering a premium product at a deep discount. They could raise prices after their model is more proven, enabling them to scale up to pull more refrigerant destruction in.

It’s your usual market pricing adoption curve. And frankly, their solution is more effective than paying to not cut trees down.
I've never experienced wealth being associated with genius. That idea seems alien to me. In which circles does this happen?
Thank you for posting such a beautiful example of a false claim about your language.

The front page of vlang.io has prominently featured under "Safety" the line "No undefined behavior". Saying that C-like undefined behavior[1] is "expected" directly contradicts that. I'll also point out that Nim, another language which compiles to C as a target, addresses this correctly.

It's more than gamers as you notice, it's the whole 'self-reinforcing internet cycle' - if the first reaction is X, that will be amplified tremendously as everyone piles on to agree with X.

This goes for both for and against, but against is usually easier. Famous examples include Dropbox (here), iPod (Slashdot), etc.
I think the second form is supposed to be a superset; you try to find all the best arguments you can for every position. That includes the ones other people are using, but if you can think of a better case to make for them then you should answer that as well. In no event should you ever say "you're arguing X but Y is a better argument and that's false so you're wrong" without also answering X, but "you're arguing X, which is wrong because X', but a better argument for your position is Y" is still legitimate.
Exactly. The amount of nitpicking is ridiculous.

* I am looking specifically for a 4 day work week at a stable, profitable company that can pay around 250k *

I am an experienced Staff Software Engineer with experience managing teams as well (~13 professional years + many more hobby years of building software at scale, for small and large tech co's). I am mainly backend focused currently but have done full stack in the past and am happy to again. You will find that I am a very capable engineer and leader, work well on a team (I enjoy mentoring junior engineers quite a bit), and enjoy working closely with product/exec leadership on executing a vision. My goal is to build the software that serves the business, rather than software that I think is cool. I can manage a budget and deliver working, scalable software without running up huge AWS charges.

I've been doing "the grind" for well over a decade now, and am casually looking for something a little more sustainable that allows me some time to spend with family, on hobbies, and on side projects.

Reach out if this sounds like you :)

Generating graphs that look like stock charts
This makes sense. I think people have realized the political power a company has over an individual. Political donations matter, and companies make big ones to each side. That gives them significant influence.

Also, this cuts both ways. I've worked for companies that were outspoken in the political affiliation and were not shy about telling employees which political candidates were scratching the company's back. Ironically, the deregulation they pushed so hard ended up being irrelevant years later.
Monkey Island was cutting edge technology when I first played it as a child in the early 1990s, I fell in love with it. Why would anyone expect that Ron would create a pixel-art, retro-style game? Ron articulated this line of reasoning. He is the creator and has every right to select the style that he desires.
Using 'trawled' makes it highfalutin?
I couldn't agree more. The price to pay for using sometimes unusual, old or simply less popular software or hardware configurations is that if you encounter a problem, good luck finding someone who solved it and published the solution, and that solution wasn't deleted along with that Geocities page hosting it.
I have some more stringent issues to solve by now (health, relocation, etc) but plan to put online a small home hosted static technical oriented site where I record any interesting findings that might be useful to others. For that I plan to use what broadband connection I will have available plus DuckDNS to solve the inevitable dynamic IP issue. The main problem that might arise could be letting search engines crawlers index the page as I believe they might want to skip those hosted on home broadband connections.
>The language used on the main vlang site also seems calm, clear and unsensational (at least to me).

It wasn't always like this. Back in 2019, its website looked like this:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190303184805/https://vlang.io/

As you can see the website claimed that its compiler is "200x faster" than C compilers, while neglecting to mention that it merely translates V code to C, so you still have to
run a C compiler.

"400 KB compiler with zero dependencies" (apart from a C compiler and libc).

"As fast as C" - a lie.

Apart from deceptive marketing, there were serious issues with the code quality of the compiler:

As I explained already, it's free and instant to me, that's what people actually care about.

But I think you're also wrong about:

The cost - it really is free, there are no hidden charges on the bank account or for any party involved.

The transaction time - it really is settled that quickly between banks in the UK at least with faster payments. It leave my account and appears in the other one within seconds, sometimes within 1 second.

What happens next is that history resumes and globalization ends, because it's the US that's been enforcing peaceful globalization since 1945. Borders are no longer sacrosanct, more countries fight each other, a traditional empire or two maybe get started again out of necessity, and countries dependent on imports for oil and food start having major problems.

It works out ok for the US though. We get inflation and all kinds of shortages for a while, but manufacturing moves back. We have no trouble feeding and fueling ourselves, and no worries about invasion. In a decade we dominate the world even more, because most of our peers fall apart. But it won't be much fun for a while, and for a lot of the world it'll be seriously grim.

I'm not necessarily saying it's the moral obligation of the US to police the world forever, just because it was in our strategic interest to do so for a while. Maybe we should do what you suggest. Just saying, be aware of what it really means. It doesn't mean world peace.
I feel even in gaming, the customer is always right at the end of the day. Unless we are talking about making games just for the sake of it & then throwing them away, but I suspect not.

That said, most of the time it is better to not interact with the customer until you are certain it is the right time. Transparency seems like more of a liability than anything here.

I strongly prefer the stealth mode development pattern, assuming you do have a clear & consistent vision relative to your market & customers. A lot of human feedback is bullshit, so avoid it until you actually need it. Most people don't know what they like until they are 20 hours deep into it. Don't give them time to build up ridiculous expectations relative to your product.

Think about the way EA games launched Apex Legends. I would prefer if every game studio went down that path.

> “Ultimately, the reason some people get upset when a series changes isn’t because the new game is new, but because the old games get their future cut off. Getting a sequel you don’t want closes the door more definitively than creating a new IP. Nobody wants to see the corpse of something they love puppeted around when it could just be laid to rest.”

Except in this case, my understanding is that this isn't even true. This game is an alternate sequel to MI2 (which is widely beloved), throwing out the story from MI3 (and maybe Tales? Many fans did not like the story direction of MI3. Perhaps because Ron didn't work on it.. I didn't mind it). So I guess in that case, for the really opinionated MI1&2 fans, this is another bite at the apple.

A lot of creatives have a hard time understanding the product side of art.
Games are far more products like movies than they are "art".

There have been a bunch of recent examples lately that showcases the minds of masses.
Spiderman No Way Home did supremely well by giving the masses what they wanted, and not straying too far from the marvel formula.

Sonic the Hedgehog Movie had a awful original art direction. The fans complained and the director reversed course, and now its a beloved and highly rated movie.

Top Gun 2 is another great example. The tone, direction, spirit of the original movie is captured supremely well and is on track for a billion dollars.

Pixar's Lightyear is a disappointment at the box office. Honestly who wanted a "realistic" version of Buzz from Toy Story. The tone, spirit, and art direction are too different.

I think Ron made a horrible directorial mistake, and while he shouldn't be attacked for it. He does deserve criticism, and people should be allowed to voice their dislike for a product and its direction.

As people on other sites have mentioned, this whole project has the feeling of the George Lucas Star Wars Prequels. George Lucas needed some honest feedback, and collaboration with other people like Kasdan. Ron Gilbert should have gotten some opinions from the original Monkey Island artists/Lucas Arts Crew.

I played the original ones and I would have preferred a pixel art closer to the original.

That being said, I subscribe what Ron and many people here said. If you don't like it, don't buy it. There's no need for all vitriol. I will buy it the same, since for me Monkey Island was always about much more than the graphics.

On top of everything, this is the actual _creator_ of all the games and stories' vision. It's not like it's some knock-off copy or money-grabbing reboot. If this is how he imagined the new Monkey Island we should at least be happy there's another one!

"Is now open source!" is the new hot way to say "We quit." Open sourcing software you decided not to bother maintaining anymore is better than nothing, yes, but without a community devoted enough to it to keep it up to date, it's not much better than dead and gone.

Your website says on the homepage "No undefined behavior". Integer overflow in C is explicitly undefined behavior. What does the phrase "undefined behavior" mean to you? Because it's clearly something very different from what it means to the rest of the industry.

Oh I forgot to mention, regarding the situation in the UK, we don't really have "zoning" in the North American sense. But there are analogous problems in the planning system. There's a brief overview of the situation in this Policy Exchange paper:

Even if you don't agree with the solutions presented, the diagnosis of the problem is sound, I think.
Normally the tech would recapture it, and it is worth something. It must have been a pretty dramatic failure for the coolant to leak from a power surge.

That said, ‘reduce, reuse’ comes before ‘recycle’ for a reason. If the unit still worked and was reasonably close efficiency wise, it’s just a waste to replace it when it still functions.
Deep down almost everyone is "conservative" - they want what they had yesterday again today, so any change to art style, etc, is already on a back-foot.

But in the end, the good things stand out. The reason the CD-i Zelda games are not remembered fondly is not really because of the art style, that's just an easy way to rip on them.

That's because V already lied once about its memory management, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31947048. Any highlighting of that fact is met with deflection and dodging.

V is still making dubious claims: his newly invented autofree isn't stable even today after years and users are encouraged to use garbage collection instead. It's hard to trust that when we've been lied to already.

It actually is exactly whataboutism in that case. It’s also known as tu quoque.
This comment is being downvoted, and with reason.

But in a decade or so, it will be the prevailing opinion. Some czar of the environment will go around deciding who gets AC, and telling others "You don't need AC". (Generally, this is decided by campaign donations and party support.)

Of course there is some negligible environmental impact that will come out in a college paper some point. But otherwise, the only thing people will notice is the rise in deaths of the elderly.

But this is a small price to pay. The environment is our god, and it demands sacrifice.
Sure, that is something you can say to an experienced marijuana user, but the casual dude who hasn't smoked weed since college and just wants to smoke a joint... that dude just wants to smoke a joint! There is no need for scales or precision to be involved. All that is needed is some low-to-moderate-potency weed, hopefully with some CBD content.

You do realize that a lot of people don't really know how to use those devices, right?

Why anyone would argue against more variety of weed with better labelling is way beyond my comprehension.
