If your butthole looks like Copilot I recommend you have a trip to the doctors for a check up

The thing that caught my eye immediately was the sandboxing. I have no idea why Node and npm don’t have sandboxing by default. It would greatly help with some of these worms and supply chain attacks.

What if I’m making a 2d game and need to go left

No.

“Layers upon layers of opaque incantations”

You’ve described software.

Because a team of browser engineers have already written and reviewed the code to do it for you; and (hopefully) it’ll be performant, properly tested and accessible… ;-D

Of the many cool things I liked about this, removing the missile from the array by swapping it with the last missile and decrementing the missile count was a nice trick.

I remember being idealistic when I first started. Now I’m just jaded and cynical. Don’t try looking for meaning in any of it, you won’t find any. The system just churns along. And everyone with it. Play the game and nod along. Your job doesn’t define who you are. Just be thankful because you could be in a worse situation.

I’m glad it’s not just me. These LED headlights are terrible and dazzle me all the time. It’s especially bad with SUVs that have lights right in your eyeline, when you’re driving a “normal” car.

They’re probably still quite useful for displaying tabular data - there’s also semantics involved, it’s not primarily just a layout mechanism.

How about making a new game with help from your son (even if it’s ideas) and making some new memories? ;-)

The problem I found is that a lot of the stuff I made is tied to the hardware, OS and SDKs I used to make and run it (especially PalmOS and J2ME stuff - although Apple is just as bad.)

Luckily I’ve been able to find an emulator called Cloudpilot Emu to run some of my old PalmOS games in the browser.

I think if I was doing a game now and wanted to be able to look back on it in 10 to 20 years time I’d be doing it in C with SDL or JavaScript - although you’re betting on those being around. Or at least some virtual machine / runtime that could be ported to some new OS / platform.

I wish most software was developed and supported like this

Can I invent a language called Larry Ellison Script and trademark it

I think Scrappy may have been mentioned on HN a few weeks ago, not sure if that fits what you’re looking for.

Glad I’m not the only person stood there focusing intently over my spectacles on orange skin looking for defects through the red plastic netting.

No mention of the Transputer :(

It’s because the folks who are the middle-aged adults with disposable income in their 40’s and 50’s used to have computers from the 80’s.

Although one of the benefits of them is that you can still play and program for them (and even on them.) They’re simpler and more immediate.

Hope you don’t mind but I’ve copied this So I can refer back to it ;)

Switch off the computer and your phone, take a break from analysing things, take a breath or two, and go for a walk. Give yourself space. Take pleasure from the small ordinary things, without placing any expectations on yourself or the day. Be kind to yourself. Play.

You're a human being, not a human doing.

It’s only obscure if you’re writing from a position of ignorance.

Maybe one day there’ll be alternatives, you’ll be able to buy and own books and read them on devices like the Open Book:

In the meantime I’ll be sticking with old paper books.

On the downside they take up a lot of space (but I guess that’s why we have public libraries, charity shops and second hand book shops.)

On the upside they have a great battery life.

Pixelmator’s alright

Eat more of the things that grow out of the ground, and less of the things that wander around.

Or just go the whole way and make a virtual machine
