I found it the hard way: once I setup my first network, I thought I'll be smart and I'll use different pattern of IP addresses. I found the hard way, that my selected gateway IP is the same as some japanese server - I had some weird network & internet issues 😅

why the private network addresses 192.168.*.*? because a company used it in some early documentation, people literally copied the same while setting up their networks, and that eventually became the standard. fascinating.

Nobody would care dozens of similar dismissals of games that indeed - haven't succeeded and were not that much worse than Hollow Knight

It is often easy to see only the fittest survivals - there were 100s or even 1000s of similar games that weren't lucky enough. A *good* or even better: GREAT product is a must to even start thinking about success, but that's just the start. Luck is important too.

Almost 10 years ago people doubted Hollow Knight. Today Silksong is crashing storefronts. Ignore the noise. Do what makes you happy.

This question is basically 20 years overdue. These days games are mostly written in C# (Unity) or some other technologies. C++ is still relevant (UE5 for example) but way less than before.

So uh why is almost all of game dev done with C++ and not C?

Interesting! I thought I'm one of the few who actually switches mode depending on day time. I do it on iPhone and iPad - but on a Mac, I'm always in dark mode 🌚 For some reason it feels more natural on smaller devices/screens to switch depending on time.

Niewiedza to jednak błogosławieństwo. Wszyscy mówią, że auta elektryczne nie nadają się w trasy, ale ja o tym nie wiem, więc pojechałem dziś rano z Warszawy do Białegostoku i właśnie wracam. Prędkość 120 km/h, koszt 16 zł.

Upgrade: - Photo Booth - Chess Downgrade: - Stickies - Preview - Disk drive icon (should be updated but that's not it...) Rest is pretty neutral, and Calendar still have proper date in Dock, this is not accurate

Hmm, seeing odd behavior in #DevCleaner, possibly due to Xcode 26 🤔 Trying to remove derived data from projects touched by Xcode 26 gives “access denied” - even with Xcode closed. Not all files, just some. Anyone else seeing this?

looks like Microsoft’s decision to put Xbox games on PlayStation is proving popular. Microsoft is dominating the top 10 of the PlayStation store

Because not every contact will even have a phone number? I use Contacts app (separately) all the time, far more often than Phone app tbh 😅 Those are two different things, just by accident Phone app have access to contacts (like other messaging apps)

Dear Apple, It’s 2025, why are Phone and Contacts still 2 separate apps?

On macOS the other way around: WhatsApp moved away from web app and used Mac Catalyst to use Mac-optimized UIKit version from iPhones & iPads. It works and looks pretty good 👍

WhatsApp will become another webapp, with poor notification UX and whatnot. I hate this with every inch of my being

I've been through all the phases: Linux, Windows, macOS, and believe me, macOS is the best of all three on all fields. sure, it's not perfect, but waaay ahead of any other alternative for the user, for the developer, for desktop

Yes! And it makes me sad to be honest as it is quite possible this is how "programming" will look like in a few years 😒

AI is doing the fun stuff (writing new code), while you have to do the ugly stuff: debug, fix bugs, quality assurance, give negative feedback, etc. All the same issues as we have with outsourcing.
