Bacon Cheeseburger.

I re-watched the movie a few months ago, and I had a similar realization: it was quite depressing to see a depiction of NASA that is now entirely lost to us.

I should also put my normal caveat in here about not actually buying one of these. Please, please don’t try to buy one of these awesome cargo e-trikes. This is a silly, tongue-in-cheek weekend column where I scour the ever-entertaining underbelly of China’s massive e-commerce site Alibaba in search of fun, quirky, and just plain awesomely weird electric vehicles.

Essentially, it’s satire.

I am officially stealing this. Goddamn.

Roughly the same as for any type of software: make shit.

If you’ve already got experience with general programming, that helps a lot, you can probably just go straight into a super simple game. My go-to recommendation for programming in general is “make simple something that already exists”. That gives you goals that are very clear, and reasonably achievable, so you can start getting some of that satisfaction feedback quickly. For a game, I’d say do something like Tic-Tac-Toe, Battleship, Solitaire… something that isn’t gonna require a whole lot of art, just to get going, and isn’t gonna take weeks to get a working prototype.

Godot definitely sounds like a good bet to get going. Even if you end up moving to another engine for projects in the future, that doesn’t invalidate your time spent on this one.

Dude, you obviously have never set FOOT on a farm or tractor, in your LIFE. Stop spreading misinformation.

These are raw marshmallows. Yeah, it’s unbelievable how big they are, but that’s just cause they’re fresh and haven’t dried out yet.

That’s a hell of a lot of reactors.

Lots of folks mentioning VSCode as the alternate to VS, but it is very much not that. VS is an IDE, VSCode is a text editor that just has a big plugin community. Do not expect a low learning curve. The VS alternative that’s an actual IDE, and does have a low learning curve, is JetBrains Rider. Unfortunately it is neither F nor OSS.

What’s even the argument for dropping 32-bit support? Just developer experience?

Why not? If they can cut costs by reducing specs that don’t matter to their target audience, that just seems like sound engineering.

Me. I came here to get AWAY from reddit, why the hell would I use it anymore?

No question, this is what the moneymen want. They see programmers (all human employees, really) as a liability.

Yes. They actually think that.

20 HMFs is pretty freakin’ respectable.

Then the second part of my statement applies.

Not to short-circuit the joke, but in this case, it’s because the valid JavaScript version is…

let a

…and one of TypeScript’s main design goals is to be a superset of JavaScript, that only adds syntax, and doesn’t re-write it.

Beyond that, it’s probably a case of some new language just using what the designer is familiar with.

You’d have to start first, Chuck.

Also, I was born there, and I hate it.

Not one single mention for Gone in Sixty Seconds?

Lemmings… do I have bad taste?
