If you’re branching logic due to the existence or non-existence of a field rather than the value of a field (or treating undefined different from null), I’m going to say you’re the one doing something wrong, not the Java dev.

These two things SHOULD be treated the same by anybody in most cases, with the possible exception of rejecting the later due to schema mismatch (i.e. when a “name” field should never be defined, regardless of the value).

Buy a keyboard and monitor

NGL, this looks kinda terrible

Parts of “Rift of the Necrodancer”

And the only thing even worse than SCRUM is literally every other option

“Discord said users will be able to turn off the ads in their settings.”

Remote Desktop

What this shows is how terrible raw JS is, when all of this crap is required to fix all of the edge cases and make things actually work the way it’s supposed to.

Dyson Sphere Program is like Satisfactory if it had good game design and less bugs.

If you’re using assembly, then you’ve already given up on the easy ways.

The only engine with even worse licensing than Unity

As terrible as Unity’s API design is, Unreal’s API design is 10x worse and still feels stuck in the 90’s.

And as soon as they have any competitors we might consider it

No need, GUIs are better for most tasks.

I’ve heard that enabling CloudFlare DDoS protection on Lemmy breaks federation due to the amount of ActivityPub traffic.

These are not “mistakes”, these are willfully evil acts.

I’m just going to quote another comment here:

Billet Labs sent their best prototype (as in, the only one they had) to LMG for review. Linus proceeded to strap it to a video card where it didn’t fit, so bad that there was a 1mm gap (which might as well be a million miles when you’re talking about cooling). Of course the performance sucked due to it being strapped to a card it wasn’t designed to fit, linus trashed the block and the company. And here’s the part that just fucks me off. Billet Labs SENT THEM THE CORRECT CARD WITH THE BLOCK! There is literally no valid excuse for putting it on the wrong card, Billet Labs sent them the correct one!!!

Combine that with the image in the OP, and there’s just no excuse. These are not the actions of someone that “intends no malice”. This is not an “accident”. This is not a “learning opportunity”. This is not a “mistake”. This is a person doing everything in their power to selfishly extract every dime they can from both their viewers and this startup.

They intentionally lied to the viewers because trashing a product gets more views. They intentionally lied to the startup because they got more money from selling the prototype.

They do not deserve any sympathy.

Works for me

I’ve been playing Palia recently, and one hung I thought was interesting is that they’ve replaced the concept of having a trading post with player quests.

Instead of buying an item you want, you can post a “request”, which other players can fulfill. Instead of receiving money, the fulfilling player receives “renown”, which is basically a type of XP you only get for completing quests.

Every request I’ve posted has been fulfilled, and it doesn’t require anything on behalf of the poster (except there’s a cooldown), so it’s a lot more satisfying.

It creates a dynamic where the newer players want to request things they need, while experienced players want to fulfill those for renown. This explicitly rewards altruistic behavior while also feeling more like a community and less antagonistic than a trading post.

You need to get a cert from Let’s Encrypt (using certbot), then look up directions for configuring nginx to use the cert files generated by certbot.

So what? Malicious extensions can do anything. Don’t run untrusted code on any computer you care about, ever. This is true for any IDE extension, any NPM package, any mod pack, etc.
