Patema Inverted is in the league there, graphics wise. It's crazy how nobody had ever tried the idea of the character pov of falling towards the sky. The immersive feeling is real and genius.

Well, yes, rsync to replace scp. Sftp's also regarded a hack anyway imho.

The write-only scp intrigues me. I guess it's not hard to write a program to do that. But, right, that's not easy with standard tools only. The Linux file system was also not designed for that (although it doesn't prohibit such software) I guess.

Even the decision to go down a sci­ence track at school, when the human­it­ies turn out to be your bag, can mangle a life.

Dear Author, you seem not to know the concept of trying (harder). As you stop trying at the first mistake, of course you didn't get a second chance.

The blog is flawed. 33MB is likely no problem for the web. It's just that Google Docs devs haven't cared about that size probably because hardly anybody creates a huge doc on their platform. Or maybe his dad created a complicated doc file that G Doc failed to parse.

That's different from us devs losing efficiency from our deployment platform.

Tbf Vulkan is not intended for an endprogrammer. It is a deliberately low level standardization to allow directly control GPU hardware. The high-level approach (OpenGL) failed. The endprogrammer is supposed to use a third party middleware, not Vulkan itself.

Apple was always rotten unless Jobs kicked their ass. Once they kicked Jobs out and he came back to kick their ass again. He was the hero.

Sideloading isn't free on iOS. You have to pay $100/year to run your app on your phone. Because sEcUrItY, which makes no sense.

That's a common misconception about free software. Free software is about the user's right to see and modify the software. Doesn't mean people can't do business with it. You're right that they usually don't require fee for installation, but that's merely because that the source code is available on the internet, in most cases, and so the user can install it without paying anyway.

So far, my understanding is that, in some of all these horrible inhumane activities, there were what THEY thought were potential cures.

If correct, these satanists might argue those were of good intention.

Informed consent was broken, so I guess it's a lower hanging fruit for bringing justice. That said, I don't know if informed consent had been established by 70-80s.
