I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that npm developers are those who ask for admin access to databases so they can "fix" the database themselves and leave it open for any Tom, Dick, Harry to mess around with databases from code.

WTF NPM
I am trying to set up an internal registry for the Unity Packages that my company is using migrating to the new, shiny Unity Package Manager UI. After digging for a while, I found that it was using npm as the backend for the package management.
So I set up an internal npm server for testing, only to find out that the cli commands for npm is ridiculous.
What kind of ecosystem merges account creation and login as the same command.
You have got to be kidding me. -

@JBert
After reading through the responses to issues in their npm.community, I get the feel that npm developers approach to solving problems seems to be just use a different hacky workaround and not actually resolving the actual issue. -

Or you are hitting return/F5/"whatever execution key" on the wrong keyboard. Happened to me yesterday, with 3 keyboards in front of me and was wondering why the return key is not working on the terminal. -

RE: Guy brings down thousands of npm builds
@cartman82 It just dawned upon me that web development in most part of the world has progressed to a point of making supposedly simple instructions complicated and supposedly complicated instructions simple.

RE: Why doesn't Monopoly have a calculator piece?
@dkf said in Why doesn't Monopoly have a calculator piece?:
@Bulb Many pure mathematicians would disagree. They tend to look down on any form of application of math to non-math purposes, and need no justification further than "that's a neat formalism".
How do these people work out if their shopping bill is correct, or when to leave to get somewhere on time?
They don't. That is what cashiers, self-checkout registers and Google Maps are for. (lol)

RE: Why doesn't Monopoly have a calculator piece?
Having did my Honors in Physics, I remember forgetting to bring my calculator to exams, then leaving some of my answers in their unevaluated forms. They never really penalized me for doing that. For the trigonometric and power evaluations, I sometimes used the Maclaurin's expansion series to approximate my answers.
My peers gave me the stare of disbelief when I shared with them what I did during exams.I guess that's why I will never make it in Academia.

RE: Newest Scratch scam: Ubisoft release a Scratch "learn coding" game
I believe the whole point in why Scratch related programmes are still relevant these days is that the general masses does not understand the point being computers are stupid and programmers make strict instruction sets aka "programs" for computers to execute. Scratch is just trying to explain this simple logic...

RE: Who's worse, Google, Nintendo, or everyone else? A mixed rant.
On a supplementary note, the social/mobile gaming industry revenue is not directly dependent on the satisfaction of the average user in any case, as the game is free-to-play. Generally, the primary target users are Whales

RE: Who's worse, Google, Nintendo, or everyone else? A mixed rant.
Why use ads when this is the gold standard when comes to making revenue?
Having been in this industry for years now participating in the development of such social games, all I can say is that ads do not bring as much revenue as lootboxes... -
