When I grew up I didn’t like drinking water. I thought it tasted bland compared to all the sugary drinks. Looking back, I think our family struggled with sugar addiction without knowing it. We consumed quite a lot of sugar in my childhood.
It wasn’t until my teenage years I questioned the amount of sugary drinks I consumed. So I just cut off all sugary drinks and embraced the way of the water.
Today I’m a proud water enjoyer.
jQuery got popular because Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and other browsers weren’t exactly cross compatible. Writing vanilla JS was risky business in that sense.
It also supported AJAX across all major browsers, which meant the website could make API requests without reloading the entire page. It was super revolutionary to press a button and it only changed a part of the page.
Then Angular and React took it a step forward and that’s where we are now.
I don’t think more expensive games is going to cause a crash. If demand decreases, then the prices will follow.
What could potentially cause a crash (among the big guys) is the massive betting on landing the next big Fortnite goldmine. Sony is investing massively on live service titles like Concord, Marathon and Fairgames. Microsoft has struggled equally. They couldn’t even get Halo right.
JavaScript frameworks are invented because pure HTML and CSS suck for dynamically loaded pages, and vanilla JavaScript suck in general.
What’s not shown is that the car doesn’t have an engine. Management was really eager to release it to the customer. Don’t worry, it’s planned to get fixed later (spoiler: it’s never going to get fixed).
Working from home. I didn’t realize until the pandemic how energy draining the office really is. Once I started working from home I found out quickly that I had energy to spare for evening activities - while also being more productive at work.
If you’re concerned I think you should consider getting it checked out (or at least browse the ADHD communities to see if there are any other patterns you can spot).
I recently got diagnosed with autism at ~30. I’ve lived my entire life under the impression that I’m ok, only to realize I’ve never really been ok.
One of the diagnostic criteria of ADHD is that it’s life long, which means it can’t be acquired. However, it’s possible to acquire symptoms that are similar to ADHD, but then it’s probably something else.
Because they want to chase that annual recurring revenue stream. Make game once - make money forever. What these executives don’t realize is how hard it is to make such game. They seem to believe if they throw just enough money at it, a profitable game will come out.
The incredible thing about this chainsaw is that no two people use it the same way. You think you knew most things about the chainsaw until you see someone else use it. They use a completely different technique, holding it in a way you never considered a possibility, and use buttons you didn’t know were even there - let alone what they are for. They’re equally mystified in terror when they see you use the chainsaw.
I was in on the crypto hate. I don’t really have a hate boner for AI.
Sure, there are things to dislike about AI, but it can be moderately useful. In contrast to crypto, AI is the hype because it’s widely used. Crypto was the hype because a few people hit the jackpot.
They’re throwing stones at people they disagree with
