Thought so. Your startup time and crashes are almost certainly attributable to running it via gamenative rather than the game itself. By not including that detail in your post you're being pretty unfair to the developers of the game IMO

You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?

The fact that every company involved other than nvidia is hemorrhaging cash and has no path to profitability.

For most in the US, estimated tax is collected from your employer before you control the money and filing is just to adjust the difference between estimated and due. So most people can't withhold tax because of the system

I agree with not wanting link previews, but there is some misinformation here:

when you hover over links

It is a 1 second hold or a context menu option.

is sending page content to ML models

Unless you've specifically enabled the key points feature, it just shows the open graph tag content (https://ogp.me/). This is also what is used to display a card when you put a link in a chat app.

If you do enable the key points feature, it is not sending page content over the network like you imply.

It uses a local model and it doesn't even download that model until the first time you ask for the key points.

I encourage you to keep complaining about things you would like you be different, but you should really keep your complaints factual, because you weaken your points when you mix them with misinformation.

Oh snap

I don't use EGS because it they actually locked in significant market share they would enshittify so fast your head would spin.

Not clean code - uncle Bob is a hack.

KISS YAGNI DRY in that order.

Think about coupling and cohesion. Don't tie things together by making them share code that coincidentally is similar but isn't made for the same purpose.

Don't abstract things until you have at least 2 (preferably 3) examples of what you're trying to abstract. If you try to guess at the requirements of the 2nd or 3rd thing you'll probably be wrong and have to undo or live with mistakes.

When you so abstract and break things down, optimize for reading. This includes maximizing loading the code into your head. Things that make that hard are unnecessary indirections (like uncle Bob tells you to do) and shared state (like uncle Bob tells you to do).

Pure functions (meaning they take inputs and remit outputs without any side effects such as setting shared state) are the platonic ideal. Anything written not as a pure function should have a reason (there are tons of valid reasons, but it's a good mental anchor)

I should really read the Ousterhout book. It would be great if I could just point people at something, and it sounded decent from that discussion between him and Bob I saw the other day

Edit: I don't agree with everything in here but it's pretty great https://grugbrain.dev/

How dare Americans talk about things

They should be more like the Italian dock workers.

Yes. I am getting so sick and tired of people asking me for help then proceeding to rain unhelpful suggestions from their LLM upon me while I'm trying to think through their problem. You wouldn't be asking for help if that stuff was helping you!

YES. Phoronix articles are good but the comment sections are insane. There are a few very vocal users that would have been banned on any reasonably moderated forum, and they largely chase out the reasonable people.

Also, occasionally there is an article about CoC or something that is obviously going to bring the loonies out of the woodwork. The comment section will get closed, but not until after the giant flamewar has gone on for a bit. Michael has to know that's going to happen and make the decision not to close it immediately when he makes the post.
