Guy is a weirdo, I remember logging into Twitter a few weeks ago and he was talking about his wife like she were some lab experiment. I don't know if it was a joke but it coming from a weirdo didn't help.

I think the people that go into this field today (and for a while now) probably do it for the love of it, not the pay or widespread fame of doing something extraordinary in the field. Not that you can't have it all, but not being some legend I, well, I think that's a strange reason for someone already interested in game dev not to step into the field?

I think that should be illegal and misrepresenting. Lots of gray area with AI usage.

The "choppy" JS keyframes helps give it a cinematic and authentic feel. /s

You went from slop to outdated (as far as looks are concerned). But hey, what's old is new again, maybe we'll come full circle again.

Is it really that shocking to you? Twitter is a very narrow company compared to Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Apple. The system was already up and running, they probably kept the employees that built or knew the system deeply and fired the others. Apparently it had around 7,500 employees at its peak. To me that seems excessive for something like Twitter.

My copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops that I bought from a rental store was corrupted in that sniper scopes didn't have the black scope silhouette when zoomed in, so essentially the whole screen just zooms in.

Harsh, but fair.

On Reddit I often sort by new for comments (which I know isn't the same as new topics), especially on thoughts over whatever thing I'm looking up. Does Hackernews have that ability or am I being blind?

This is a gofundme I would gladly donate to. Fight the power for what's right.

I cringed when I saw a dev literally copy and paste an AI's response to a concern. The concern was one that had layers and implications to it, but instead of getting an answer as to why it was done a certain way and to allay any potential issues, that dev got a two paragraph lecture on how something worked on the surface of it, wrapped in em dashes and joviality.

A good dev would've read deeper into the concern and maybe noticed potential flaws, and if he had his own doubts about what the concern was about, would have asked for more clarification. Not just feed a concern into AI and fling it back. Like please, in this day and age of AI, have the benefit of the doubt that someone with a concern would have checked with AI himself if he had any doubts of his own concern...

I guess they used Fiverr for security

I did a similar thing with a car design for Mercedes-Benz when I was around the same age. I had all the car drawing books and really thought I was going to be a car designer. Much to my surprise, they responded with enthusiasm and even sent me a Mercedes-Benz keychain :)

Having lived in Japan it feels they either they go all in on minimalist or maximalist. Some stores are quiet, others are obnoxiously loud and brightly lit to where you don't see your own shadow. Some magazines have a ridiculous amount of text on the cover, distorting the characters to fit with bold text stroking, others especially fashion might have one line if any at all alongside their logo. Game and book covers can be more on artistic/subtle side whereas in the west we often fight for your attention with character collages or action scenes.

We basically tried wrapping an entire registration app into the Shadow DOM just for a hopeful kick but it came with weird accessibility quirks, arrow keys not always working to go through selections, and some overlays acting strangely. We were using Shadcn which is powered by Radix Primitives, however, and a setup they probably weren't expecting or testing their code to be in.

But for smaller things like chat widgets or players I think it's a great solution.

I didn't have a problem until I migrated to another Mac. Then I started having duplicate files. I think I fixed it by logging out of everything and deleting the duplicates but it was a couple hours wasted. Didn't have this problem with Dropbox in my career.

Thanks, I was wondering how in the hell that many would get the answer wrong and what is this hidden equal sign he was talking about.

Maybe the question could be flipped on its head to filter further with "50% of applicants get this question wrong -- why?" to where someone more inquisitive like you might inspect it, but that's probably more of a frontend question.

I don't think LLM's are that great at manipulating SVG unless you mean like small edits like rotation and font size. Cool article though, I'll have to think how I can leverage it.

Yep. I'll admit I've acted faster to hard set dates than some "in the future" message. I've also seen some tools become really noisy about deprecation spanning many lines AND repeating. Please don't log the same message over and over for each instance. Color or add emoji if you must to grab attention, but once is enough. It's annoying when you can't do anything about it at that time and have to sift through this extra noise when hunting down another issue in the CI log. Add a link that goes over it in more detail and how to migrate for that specific deprecation.
