Ever is this data dump so I can mirror it?

Yep, just like electron or Tauri. A web view wrapped in a native application.

These are very common these days, it’s the same use case and value proposition. Mainly because it’s just easier to develop UIs with web technologies that look the same everywhere, never without the app.

You do know that a pwa can be packaged up in an app container and you won’t even be able to tell the difference?

It doesn’t actually have to operate like a pwa, and require native pwa sport.

There are tons of apps that you use that are just well packaged PWAs, packaged as an app store app, and you don’t even know about it.

PWAs only suck on when they suck, just like everything else.

Oh, you get the benefit of explicit scanning?

We get the beauty of every file that’s modified being scanned before the write “completes”. It’s an absolute joy starting a build and watching ~80% of the available compute be consumed by antivirus software.

Or, you know, normal filesystem caching as part of your tool’s workflow.

Or dependency installing and unpacking…

Or anything actually that touches a lot of files.

No, no they are not.

Bad ones? Yeah, just like that.

I build software and can confirm this.

This is pretty run-of-the-mill analytics and user session recording. There’s nothing surprising here.

Usually it’s not actual screen recording but rather user action diff recording (Which effectively acts like recording the application except that it only records things that changed so that the recording is much cheaper to store)

This is extremely effective for tracking down bugs, solving user support issues with software, or watching session recordings to figure out if users are using the software in unexpected ways.

Pretty much any error tracking analytic software worth it’s salt does that these days!

Your argument against the article that talks about copper usage is founded on incomplete knowledge of where copper is actually used?

🤦

Proof that it’s already too late ☝️

You’re honestly not wrong. But just like Reddit and IRL people here vote emotionally instead of rationally.

Things that divide us further are just distractions from class warfare, by keeping us at each other’s throats with culture wars.

The real battle has always been class wars, and those in power maintain their positions by getting us peons to go at each other’s throats instead of theirs.

It kind of is though?

Essentially no protections for operators from bots, which means no protection for communities from automated infiltration and astroturfing.

The only thing stopping it is that the cost/benefit isn’t there yet with how small Lemmy is. But that’s slowly changing.

Parsing commas is hard, right? No, not really.

• young
• poor
• women

Parsing commas is hard, clearly, since you still missed the lack of parallel structure. “Young, poor, women” reads as a list of adjectives modifying a single noun, “women”.

🤦

Young poor women are the primary recipient of Medicaid?

Using a new IDE is always a painful undertaking TBF.

I switch from visual studio to rider in order to better support my co-workers on macs. And I have never looked back, it’s just too damn good.

Though, the settings for exceptions and when to break are never right for me. While VS has it right, right out of the box.

Great question, and one I’ve struggled with.

I’m a big privacy advocate, and my personal devices and home network reflect that. Which really brings me to a difficult crossroads here.

I don’t have a good answer for you right now, the best I have are the problems I’m trying to balance:

• Anticheat: How do detect and build better detection for location spoofing? This, intrinsically, requires the recording of directly associated location data. And the collection of mass anonymized data in order to determine “what looks normal”, to spot abnormal (spoofing) behavior. How can I balance this against privacy concerns? It’s a rough one for sure.
  • This is the toughest one here. Likely I’ll need a combination of data retention periods and anonymization. At the very least sensitive data is separated from the rest of the game data, and is encrypted at rest. Likely there are clever protocols and solutions already out there I just don’t know about yet that can improve protections here.
• Audit Logs: When a player performs an action that interacts with a location-based feature, where they where when that action was performed it is stored alongside the audit log of that action. This ties in closely with Anticheat, and also enables pattern matching to try and find oddities (exploits, cheating, bugs, and other problems).
  • Right now these stay around forever, and can be used to simulate the global game state at any point in the past (really REALLY useful for debugging problems, especially when you don’t have a good repro). Eventually such state should make granular rollbacks possible in case of exploits or rampant cheating. (A game where you have to physically go somewhere to capture a mine means rollbacks have a crazy high cost, making them granular is pretty important)
• Analytics and Telemetry: Location data isn’t in use here right now. And I don’t see how it would be while also respecting privacy.

Selling the data: 😂😂😂 I’d rather light my servers on fire than stoop to that level.

Hey that’s totally valid!

I’m an avid player of Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program. Those really scratch the pure factory itch.

I’m aiming to scratch a different itch here. Persistent empire building in competition with others over finite resources is an itch that’s REALLY hard to scratch. And that’s what I’m aiming for here.

That sense that you have built something that feels more tangible than other games you’re accustomed to. There’s a real world element, you control something that someone else cannot, with that comes that empire building feeling I personally live, and want to build a game around.

I mean, that could be extreme, or really not that bad.

Refactors have a way of generating a lot of changes. Half our job is code review, kind of have to get over it and go read some code.

If someone put the effort in to write it, it’s your responsibility to put the effort in to read it and review it.

If the style is difficult to read and non-standard for your repository or not. Conventional then your repository and your engineering team should be following set standards to ensure consistency.

If you’re doing this then most PRS shouldn’t be that difficult to review.

I say this, spending a decent part of my week reviewing something like 40+ PRs.

I do! I’m actually using an NVidia Shield. Which runs android TV

I tried last year to install a recommended one but it required that I download a third-party APK. And I would have to jump through a meant hoops to be able to install it on this device when I was poking around then. If it’s not on the Play store, apparently it’s rather difficult to install?
