codifying in law that your customers must be able to run a server for your game, when you stop running them has the consequence, that you’ll have to buy licenses that allow you to give binaries or code for those things to your customers. every middleware or library that does not allow that won’t be a viable product anymore. It’s not more dev work, it will change how licensing in game development for middleware and such will be done.

lots of licensed or bought code in development in general, but knowing that you’ll have to provide code to the public eventually, means that you’ll have to take this into consideration when starting a project.

About GNUnet

What is GNUnet?

GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and privacy-preserving distributed applications. Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack. Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the creation of a GNU internet.

libreELEC, but that’s just a distribution shipping kodi.

you might be able to utilize steam big picture/steamOS with different browser shortcuts and applications added as non-steam games to open streaming services in kiosk mode or other mediaplayers , that way you’d have good controller support, if you create control schemes for various things.

Christianity in general and catholicism especially has enough weirdness in its believes and systemic problems to produce hundred dogma movies and none would be to have a sequel in a literal sense.

first: don’t stress it, sustainable weight loss is slow everything else will end up with you regaining the weight when you stop with whatever hyped up diet or hardcore sports program you tried.

find an activity, that burns calories that you enjoy doing, and do it because it’s fun. try new things when something is not fun.

identify a high calorie source that you can somewhat easily eliminate, for many people that’s sugary drinks (including fruit juice).

get yourself to step on a scale every morning. weight is on a downwards trend week to week? you are on the right track. keep doing what you are doing.

weight goes up sometimes? don’t worry that happens we are running a marathon here. if it keeps increasing you’ll either can do more activities that burn calories or find another calorie source you can cut back on.

It might also help, to either eat slower, because “being not hungry” has a delay or drink a glass of water before every meal, so you’ll feel full faster.

and always remember, this is not a sprint, sometimes you’ll gain weight, that does not mean you failed, you don’t start back at zero.

you can queue with a single friend, you’ll just get another random player. which is not ideal, but probably not back breaking either, unless there is some stupid way to grief other players.

some of the steam reviews made me think that i literally can’t queue with a friend unless we are three people.

i am probably not the best example, as i never finished my degree, but studiying is the one thing where pomodoro timers were actual helpful for me, but nothing was better than having a small group of people to study with.

Working on problems together on a whiteboard was almost magical, because so much stayed in my brain without totaly draining my batteries.

other than that keeping things fresh and fun is important, to this day i’ll draw pictures on my notes when going through them, emphasize stuff by putting it in speech bubbles or write stupid stuff in foot notes.

i also sometimes experiment with different note taking techniques, but it’s mostly bullet points.

https://archive.org/ has old media of all sorts including game magazines, demos trailers and manuals.

a lot of video material has been uploaded to youtube, that was formerly hosted elsewhere. hell i’ve watched the old eoLithic frag movie from like 2002 a week ago.

vimm’s lair is also worth a visit if your are looking for old game manuals.

I have read about this related to how FB does it. In general this means that fetching from the DB and keep it in memory to work with right? So we assume that the cached data is outdated to some extend?

correct, introducing caching can result in returning outdated data for awhile, which is usually not a huge deal. those caches can get tricky, but they should take pressure from your db, if you’re scenario is read heavy, which is often the case. Research existing caching solutions before running ahead and implementing something from scratch, especially if you need a cache distirbuted between multiple instances of your service. In the Java world that would be something like Infinispan, but your ecosystem might over better integration with other solutions.

I was able to convince management to put money into a new server (SSD thank god). So thank you for your emphasizes. We are also migrating to PostgreSQL from SQL server, and refactor the whole approach and design in general.

having management on board is great and the new hardware should help a lot, migrating to another RDBMS sounds scary, but probably worth it if your organisation has more expertise with it.

generate indexes

they won’t help you with your duplicates, they will help speed up your reads but could slow down writes. building a good index is not trivial, but nothing is when it comes to performance tuning a database, it’s tradeoff after tradeoff. The best way to handle identical rows of data is to not write them usually, but i don’t know your system nor its history, maybe there is or was a good reason for its current state.

probably, but you might have to change some graphics settings

as described in the comments here

not a course but a book Eloquent Javascript, especially chapters 13 to 19.

The Book is about plain JavaScript and a big chunk of it is about javascript in Websites.

• spent time to generate/optomize your indexes.
• faster storage/cpu/ram for your rdbms
• get the data needed by specific services into the service, only get the data from a central place if you have to (spinning up a new instance, another service changes state of data you need, which is a warning sign in itself that your architecture is brittle…)
• faster storage/cpu/ram
• generate indexes
• 2nd level cache shared between services
• establish a faster datastore for often requested data thats used by multiple services (that might be something like redis, or another rdbms on beefier hardware)
• optimize queries
• generate indexes
• faster storage/cpu/ram

gittea ltd was founded without adhering to the governance model gittea had and also claimed copyright on atleast the name and logo of gittea. many felt a non-profit would be a better way to organize development and thats how codeberg e.v. came to be.

the problem is not, and never was offering support and service against money, you can right now start selling forgejo if you’d desire to, it was allways about how the project itself should be organized.

https://kalpadesktop.org/ is basend on opensuse MicroOS, a distro with atomic updates. this comes with KDE, there is also a version with gnome of which i forgot the name.

that is the selling point of the head first books, they all feature bad jokes and other oddities to help you remember what you’ve read. it works.

oh, i was not aware that there is a head first just about desgin patterns, thanks for the heads up.

And Archicture is something that gets more and more important for devs, because it’s likely that the code we write is just a part of a complex system of which we don’t control every part and understanding communication channels and the reasoning behind the setup of the system allows us to write our part in a way that it works well in the bigger thing and not something others (or worse, we) have to work around later.

• Refactoring by Martin Fowler, having patterns to help identify parts of code that could be changed for the better helps a lot.
• Test-Driven Development with Python, because testing is important and you should atleast have tests in mind when writing you code, even if you dont write them first. I like this one, because it’s very hands-on.
• Head first java by Sierra and Bates, good introduction to programming with languages that offer object orientation and not as dry as the gang of four book, but definitely aimed at beginners
• Fundamentals of Software Architecture by Richards and Ford, working as a programmer often means talking with big picture people or being one yourself, and they have their own strange language.
• Domain Driven Design by Evans, for a similiar reason as Fundamentals of Software Architecture.
• Neuromancer by William Gibson, because fun is important ;)

The n64 controller is a very cautious design.

they were not sure if people(players and devs) would utilize the analogstick and chose to design the controller in a way that it could be used in the same way established controllers were used, the n64 predates the dualshock by a whole year afterall.

Shredder’s Revenge was a lot of fun, if this has local coop i’ll buy it on release and visit my brother to punch some dudes :)
