readability grants a code reviewer the power to approve changes in a specific language

For anyone interested in learning Godot or building an arcade beat'em up similar to Double Dragon or Streets of Rage, I put together a 10h course on Youtube. It's broken down in episodes of 30 mins and is quite accessible to beginner / intermediate developers with little experience in Godot.
You can try out the game you'll be building here: https://gadgaming.itch.io/fists-of-fury
Hope it's useful to anyone who wants to pick up gamedev as a hobby!

Hello HackerNews!
After winning the lowrezjam last year for an open-source beat'em up game I created in a week, I received quite a few requests to create a tutorial to help others build similar games. What started off as a small tutorial in November became a two-months intensive labor to stitch together a full cohesive 10-hour course spread over 20 episodes of 30 mins each. I released the entire series on youtube this weekend, hoping it would be helpful to any beginner / intermediate wanting to learn Godot or better understand how these games were made in the past.
Episode 1/20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5i42mZTO4M
Play-test the game (the jam entry was made in Unity): https://gadgaming.itch.io/baba-yaga
Cheers!

The data seems to indicate the opposite?
For ex look at the top 30 firefox threads in the past year: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...
> "I've started using Firefox and can never go back to Chrome"
> "Reasons to ditch Chrome and use Firefox" and a lot of threads highlighting new features for FF
Compare that to the top 30 chrome threads: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...
> "Chrome users beware: Manifest v3 is deceitful and threatening"
> "PSA: uBlock/AdBlocks on Chrome to lose function thanks to Manifestv3"
> "Google has added ads on both its search page and Chrome://newtab"
> "Chrome allows websites to write to the clipboard without the user’s permission" etc

whenever someone new arrives on the team and starts complaining about how terrible the codebase is, and how we should just rewrite everything: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-...

Just to clarify, they are only banning the usage of the free offerings of Office and Workspace which do not provide the data governance / compliance features. The higher tiers of Workspace/Office provide this functionality.

I find it really fascinating to see the amount of similar posts theses past few months. Professional artists, fearing for their jobs due to AI-generated art, who find solace in the fact that the resulting artifacts are still missing on production quality by a tiny margin. This is somewhat similar to the fear that self-driving cars will one day replace the most common job in America.
In the short term, I think there's a real opportunity for artists to leverage those tools to create things they didn't think were possible before. In the long term, it seems inevitable to me that all jobs today will one day be performed better by computers. I do like to think that we will adapt to those changes over time, like we have in the past technology breakthroughs. While the nature of our jobs will most likely change, ideally we all end up having more time to spend with the ones we love.

perhaps read the article before commenting, especially if you aim at criticizing what is written? the word "laptop" isn't even mentioned in the article, this talks about desktops only and how Google runs its own linux distri on those...

this is only for those who have opted to not be fully remote.
those folks have a reserved physical desk / office space at which they will be required to go 3 days per week starting apr 4th. They may switch to fully remote but cannot keep a dedicated physical spot if they do so.

...or you could go ad-free with youtube premium?

While I agree with the overall feeling of the article, I couldn't help but smile at the irony of its clickbait title (which seemed unintended). Sensationalism definitely attracts the eye.

Wouldn't you see a similar rise in app store reviews though? Seems like that wasn't the case?
