Not sure why this became a trend my guess is back when everyone was trying to update their website to support mobile devices, they want to deliver an 'app-like' experience and as native apps don't let you pinch zoom the native UI wherever you like and mobile sites followed suit.

I guess the issue now is it has become part of the cargo cult with people including these meta tags in their base templates without knowing what it does and failing to implement a suitable layout for all mobile device screen sizes and DPIs.

Become an IFS consultantant.


Sorry, what is IFS in this context?


Although at the moment Starlink does not allow for roaming.

I assume its to prevent beta users from selling their kits to musketeers.

"Your Starlink is assigned to a single cell. If you move your Starlink outside of its assigned cell, a satellite will not be scheduled to serve your Starlink and you will not receive internet. This is constrained by geometry and is not arbitrary geofencing."

What can this do that Spectacle can't? Long time Spectacle user and JavaScript developer here.

https://www.spectacleapp.com/


I have been using Spectacle for ages (with a custom javascript config, another post...). The problem is, Spectacle uses a 32bit API that is scheduled to go away and I am afraid that at some point (or 10.15 already?) it will stop working.


First thing that comes to mind is can any of his suggestions be enforced with linting and/or CI jobs?

If so then maybe defer his changes until they are implemented in linter and/or CI job configuration preferably at a company, team or project level.

If this is something more debatable like how a feature was implemented (there are many ways to skin a cat, all of them wrong). Then I would suggest they provide their suggested changes and maybe even some BDD-style tests that would not pass given your implementation.

If they don't have the time and still insist on you doing things 'their' way, maybe inform your product owner or project manager that you are spending extra time working on this feature but it will not result in delivering any additional value to your users/customers and have the reviewer take up the discussion with them.


Awesome were you inspired by Ace of Spades at all or have heard of it?

I remember that original voxel-based engine and web server list that launched the client using their custom URI.

It was awesome how small the game was and how fun it was the simple concept (Minecraft with guns and no floating blocks).


I once saw a trailer for AoS, but to be honest I don't really play many games myself these days. I find that working on Angeldust is in itself a reward that alleviates the need to play games as escapism or entertainment.


Just curious, what would you say to your customers that are playing you game for the sake of escapism or entertainment?


I'd say: have fun! With Angeldust being a shared, persistent, open online world it's a pretty cool place to make friends and work on building projects together. You can leave a permanent mark in a place where you can be someone else compared to real life.

But I always advise enthusiastic players to keep an eye out on real life. Mind your health and your relationships. Real life, family, friends—they all come first. Of course you can be friends in-game and even build meaningful relationships there, but that's no substitute for living a well-balanced "real" life.

I've been an avid gamer in the past, and right now I'm a very avid developer. I try to balance that in real life by playing sports and exercising three or four times per week. Going out on walks, to the movies, meeting up with friends. "Balance in all things" as a character from Baldur's Gate would say.


I can smell what the rock is cooking... but I'm not buying.


Does he still believe the earth is flat?


Hey Craig, how do you transcribed the audio in your app? and presumably, it only supports English (atm)?


Hey!

We do it with a few speech to text APIs.

We've only tested with English so far but it should be able to handle a bunch: Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, and Mandarin.


So not just one provider?
