This is their “light IDE” basically, the equivalent of VS Code. Their Java IDE is the full thing, well, Eclipse. Although I personally prefer IntelliJ IDEA.

I don’t really need another text editor, sorry.

It’s because the same people who wrote the code usually write the docs, and people who are really good at writing code usually aren’t good at writing docs. It’s two different skill sets that usually don’t coincide.

This is why companies ought to employ technical writers if they have enough documentation. Of course, few ever do, but it’d by the Right Thing™️ to do.

The title is /groan, but it’s Nathan Grayson so that’s expected+acceptable.

He has a point, tbh. Nintendo seems to be applying their experimentative side again, in Princess Peach already went into a similar direction. Personally I’m excited for Echoes of Wisdom of course, but the broader picture is interesting. I wonder what we’ll be learning about the Switch 2 / Switch U / Nintendo Wii 2 / 4DS (or whatever) soon.

Yeah and we can assume Tears of the Kingdom was intended to be this before the delaying actions started.

The problem is Mastodon’s shittiness will be spread across the Fediverse regardless of what other forks you make.

Making a good point for Bluesky’s rejection of sharing AP federation, incidentally.

Basically, save a Fediverse account in your browser

Already too complicated unless it comes pre-installed on your phone as part of the setup process when you buy it.

And you will notice that in the vast majority of the world, the joke about the ball game happens/happened. America is very american football centric. Germany is all about football. England has cricket. Etc, etc.

You jest, but yes, since our lives are complicated enough as is, we want our hobbies to be as straightforward and easy to communicate/communalize as possible.

It’s a strict and strongly opinionated language by design.

So it’s a nice language.

Still have not played the first one (though it’s on my list), and now we’re looking at the second one coming out in half a year already. Aaaaaaah! 😅

I mean that’s pretty neat, but I’m reminded of that time a MongoDB user found an SQL-based database and wrote a lengthy article about all of the revolutionary features. Feels the same every time a Javascript dev discovers a programming language with actual typing.

Seems cool, but also… normal? That’s how languages should all work?

Unified process, which, despite usually not being called that way and/or being codified in the way it is nowadays, is how virtually all early software companies did their development work post-punchcards (when you no longer had to get things done in a single step).

It’s why the “agile is better because iterative hoooo!” is so laughable, because even though we didn’t yet call it iterative - as a distinction from pre-planned, since we thought in punchcards+mainframe vs after that - we did iterative work. Of course we did, software development is naturally iterative and Waterfall was the contrived contrasting example of how a non-iterative process would look.

Definitely. Most often it’s people misunderstanding the “a over b” of agile as “never do b”.

It wasn’t, Waterfall in itself was a contrived example of a bad setup. More common was UP, or something UP-like.

In long term development, sensible and updated documentation is far more important than the software working constantly. You will have downtimes. You will have times before the PoC is ready.

But if your documentation sucks or is inexistent, you cannot fix any problems that arise and will commit a ton of debt the moment people change and knowledge leaves the company.

What’s a “provence-like world”? I have genuinely not heard that term before, does it mean like the provence in france? Doesn’t particularly look that way in the video I’ll admit.

No? The first one was at the end of the tools and languages set where they ask which AI tools you used in the past year and want to use in the next one, and that was fairly deep in.

Unless this varies by country or is randomized, of course.

Python in particular is a language that his weird dichotomy of being easy to pick up, and yet no matter how many years you spend with it, you never feel like you even grasped all the basics. Nevermind advanced stuff.

Yeah but we got labels with continue and break, so we can pseudo goto.

Same. Once every few months I give DDG another try for a week or two, but between their strictly inferior and more spam riddled results and the absolutely grotesquely bad Apple Maps they integrate, it’s back to Google pretty quickly.

It’s like that study found out: Yeah, Google results have objectively gotten worse. But so have Bing’s and by extension DDG’s, and more so than Google’s.
