extremely hot take: the "floating window" desktop UI paradigm succeeded because it was flashy, but was actually worse ergonomically than a good tiled window systemPermalink Look on archive.org
Mood +3 🙂

@studioanisa the slow progression of desktop window managers back to tiled features (os x's multiple desktops, windows' snap to vertical split, the whole of metro) just proves my point!Permalink Look on archive.org

also this is why browsers have tabsPermalink Look on archive.org

@radgeRayden oh, if it wasn't for floating windows becoming unmanageable past about 10 windows, the problem that tabs solve would not have arisenPermalink Look on archive.org

i love underscore, but what i love even more is removing underscore because all we're using it for is map() or filter() and those are just methods on arrays nowPermalink Look on archive.org

@lazerwalker ohhh, interesting. will bear that in mind in future. yeah, the weird thing is that i've looked at the type definition, and it is very boring and what i would expect? but also it fails sometimes. *shrug*Permalink Look on archive.org
-
for people who follow me who know C#, but not javascript, underscore is like LINQ. and if you do Unity coding and aren't using LINQ, it's the best. it's like underscore but for C#. i just love functional-style transformations on objects and arrays.Permalink Look on archive.org

if our weird & broken & not-fitting-into-the-same-monolithic-conception-of-what's-good games are worthwhile, it is not because the company that controls a good chunk of the market deems them soPermalink Look on archive.org

ugh, i queued up another tweet or two about this, but it got lost. twitter. anyway: as the open call says "We have the power to redefine what games can be and the power to expand our understanding of what “good games” are."Permalink Look on archive.org

found it: if we need Valve to tell us we're cool to be cool, we're not cool. we're only cool if we think us telling ourselves we're cool is enough (yes, we might need Valve or similar to make a living doing this stuff. but that's very different from making something worthwhile)Permalink Look on archive.org

but also: this is not to put this open call in particular on blast. it's an attitude that seems pretty endemic, and not one i'm entirely free from. but let's focus on building the places we want to live, not on impressing or persuading or defeating the monoliths.Permalink Look on archive.org
