So the time will be permanently wrong.

And in a couple years, 9 to 5 will become 10 to 6... and we will have to change the clock again!

Thank you for your comments

The in-game movies were upscaled by a professional company's super-resolution technology. No generative AI

The in-game content was translated by a trusted Japanese localization company, using human translators.

It's possible the store content are placeholder currently.

Why does Unity Hub.exe starts 7 processes and use about 750MB of memory?

I thought RAM was expensive now!

It's announced! Implicit is doing a remastered version of a Japanese-only space shooter based on a 70s anime that never existed.

Plus the music is awesome!

FireTV Product Manager: We need to increase usage of Amazon accounts metrics!

(Think)

Oh. Let's remove Wi-Fi settings if the account is not linked!

Probably some backwards way to comply with regulations, yet cripple features.

Fun fact

Downloading msys2 from an airplane takes exactly 8 hours. Assuming you never close your laptop.

So it never made it - Coding without being able to test is actually fun.

6. Don't leave too many TODOs, actually implement them or remove them.
7. Help your future, asserts, debug and error logs, handle all error conditions.

In 1980, Microsoft had already decided case-insensitive was better, even if it killed performance.

I worked at Ubisoft. They tried to embrace the indie mindsets, they even made some "Indie" games like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_o...

Of course they had more budget, but the structure of these projects were outside the big Ubisoft umbrella

Yup - We have been working on Mortal Kombat!

The original has the narrative, including the possibility that asking about a certain item may lead to a different dialog.

The new one still has the English written aspect but we lost the narrative. It's more efficient, still feel Ultima but wanted to point that difference out.

It's hard to beat the combo of Visual Studio + Visual Studio Code for C++. I just switch between them.

I should probably give CLion another chance, last time I used it was more than 5 years ago.

Doing subnet tailscale static routing is something I had never done. (i.e. playing with network routes).

Now our automated console development kits are getting pings in <1ms instead of previously 20ms from the CI machines, and are still accessible through the Wireguard VPN.

Silent Hill 2 (2001, PS2) simulates retinal regenerating in your eye as it adapts to the dark. If you leave the flashlight off in the apartments, the screen gradually gets brighter and brighter (over a few minutes). It never gets 'bright', get easily bright enough to navigate without the light.

We had to move a variable elsewhere in Rainbow Six Vegas PSP because it was next to an audio structure object that was initialized by a kernel system call which had a memory buffer overruns (confirmed by Sony).

Data breakpoints didn't work so we created a watch dog thread for the memory location.

"FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show"

"The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers"

Running a government is boring. If only Homeland Security meant something more than kicking out immigrants...

We still don't know if the vent made it worse or not in this story.

"As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas
Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters’ ability to coordinate responses with local emergency management officials."

Keeping things working has value people understand when things start breaking.
