Very disappointed by Hetzner Ubuntu mirrors not getting updated in time. Had to manually override to get the patch.

Nice visuals, but apart from the PDF, this happens on your phone too, every second, not just in books or catalogs.

And which half of the staff gets fired day after release?

Nice but the logos are skippable, which is not realistic.

Yeah and maybe you can replay your own requests to Siri if it doesn't catch it the first time?

I hope websites like notion fix their code, which is extremely bad on anything but Chrome.

Maintenance, sure, but also: games have one chance to be good, and that is at release. With a multi-year development cycle, what we get at release (of the good ones) is like a version 4 or 5 of an app. Everything is connected and changed (and thus maintained) over the years.

Apps usually have tons of boilerplate, so pure LoC may be similar. But in density, no contest. I recently dug up an old objc app of mine and was shocked how few lines it took to send a REST request, parse and process it. Nowadays it is split into multiple files, usecases, repositories, protocols to accomplish the same. All in the name of testability or architectural “correctness”. Write that in a game and you’re fired because it kills performance.

You own the license. The license can be revoked. Don’t look for ways to prove them wrong. Just don’t buy it.

I misread the title as GPTA-6, wondering what sort of crazy crossover was happening.

Learning this the hard way as I add gamepad support for my touch-based game. All UI elements need to be interlinked, spatially!

How is this better than Prometheus?
