Factorio has seen tons of bugs in its development. It just so happens that the developers are some of the most effective bug squashers in the world of software development.

Kerbal “mod spaghetti” program

The .ml domain stands for the country of Mali, but lemmy.ml definitely chose that domain because it can stand for Marxist-Leninist.

Dual trackpads but still dual joystick and a real D-pad.

I really tried to like my steam controller but the trackpads as the main control surface didn’t work that well.

I think people really overestimate how much everybody knows about the US.

I’d say there’s a large population that only know NYC, LA, and Chicago.

I hadn’t played in years and started a new world a few weeks ago. I just started setting up a raill system when the update hit and now the whole thing is fucked. Gotta tear up a bunch of diagonal sections and re-do them noe that the new track angles lead to different accessible grid points. I literally cannot connect new rails to the old rails on the diagonal section 🙃

Yeah. It’s got all kinds of problems but at its core it “basically works” in a way that Salesforce hasn’t quite figured out, at least for a developer’s workflow.

Salesforce is (unsurprisingly) tailored towards sales teams, not necessarily dev teams. They’ve been branching out into more of a “full business solution” but the dev stuff isn’t really a strong competitor with the bigger names like Atlassian.

Slack (which, admittedly, was acquired by Salesforce) is probably the closest comparison to this.

$100M of $VT, secure my ultra-comfortable retirement right then and there.

The GameCube was pretty mediocre as a console, but SO MANY of its games have aged like wine.

Antibiotics. Turned so many lethal wounds into minor cuts.

What is your background. “A job using Linux” is super broad and remote work only narrows it further. If you don’t have plenty of experience, it’ll be hard to get a remote position.

Suuuuuper easy to say when it’s not your ability to pay rent on the line.

he is also responsible for several of Nintendo’s other hit games – among them The Legend of Zelda, whose latest instalment just topped many of 2023’s game of the year lists.

Did the author not actually check any GotY lists, or do they only look at GotY lists by hard-core Nintendo fans? Because none of the big industry lists had TotK at the top.

I like caffeine, don’t like coffee.

I mostly drink Pu-Erh, but I got a craving for green tea on my last order and accidentally ordered a way bigger bag than I intended. So I’ve been working through that for a while.
