  • Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows

  • Typically the competitive multiplayer ones fail because of kernel-level anticheat.

  • 50% increase per 18 months yields

    0.03 * 1.5^t=0.05 =>

    t = 1.26 18-month periods,

    or 1.26*18/12 = 1.9 years before the market share is 5%.

  • This cynicism towards LLMs here truly boggles my mind. So many people seem to build their entire identity around feeling superior about themselves due to all the products and services they don't use.

    I think they're just scared as hell of the possible negative effects and react instinctively. But the cat is out of the bag and downvoting / hating on every post on Lemmy that mentions positive sides is not going to help them steer the world into whatever alternative destiny that they're hoping for.

    The thing that puzzles me is that this is typically the hallmark of older more conservative generations, and I imagine that Lemmy has a relatively young demographic.

  • The anti-AI hivemind here will hate me for saying it but I'm willing to bet $100 that this saves a significant number of lives. It's also indicative of how insufficient traditional mental health institutions are.

  • When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?

    Jump

  • Not a funny line but I laughed out loud when selling items in Lethal Company for the first time. It's an absurd game made with humor, and the multiplayer gameplay creates a lot of hilarious situations.

  • The Maintainability Mindset: How to Write Code That Stands the Test of Time

    Jump

  • I'd say most of the GoF patterns evolved in a C++ toolchain (and then the Java junior devs started a cargo cult around them that has survived to this day). The book was never as language-independent as the authors envisioned it to be—in fact I'd argue that with the right programming language design the patterns happen implicitly or are obsolete.

  • I don't understand what there is to be obsessed about. Or rather, what do you do? Study ever finer details of what exactly happened over the course of the war? To me it seems mostly "on this day some people killed some other people, and on this other day more people were killed".

  • What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?

    Jump

  • I haven't been using it forever because I was just recently forced to switch to it from Pocket (courtesy of Mozilla's enshittification journey), but Instapaper seems to have been going strong since 2008.

  • What youtuber do you think had the biggest downfall?

    Jump

  • I agree, when I was younger we would use worse words and, although I understand better now how they will be received, I could swear there was never any value associated with them back then. They were just descriptive words in the same way one would call a spade a spade - whether the spade is good or bad depends on the spade.

  • Knowledge creates technical debt

    Jump

  • I disagree with almost everything in this article, especially the premise. Technical debt is just an added cost of maintenance and development over time, like an "interest" paid in terms of work hours. It doesn't matter if the developers have knowledge about it - a company with lower technical debt will develop the same feature faster, because they're not fighting the existing code base as much.

    Most of the technical debt I've been forced to create has been with the knowledge of better ways from the get-go. We just chose a worse design for short-term gains (time to market / ran out of money) and realize we have to pay with a higher development cost in the long term. It's very much like taking out a loan to deliver faster.

    I hate it, but in economics a company is not considered to leverage all its potential unless it takes on some debt - a debt free company moves too slowly to be competitive. The same applies to technical debt. You can have too much of it but you can also have too little. It's a strategic choice.

  • Most technologies continue to improve with innovation, like WiFi. What is a technology that was nearly perfect upon conception?

    Jump

  • Not because it's perfect but because its wide deployment means it takes a lot of effort to replace
