Well, in the case of JS it's just some gotchas really.

The only concern it has about compatibility is really manipulating DOM, and that certainly has never changed (and why things like lodash and jQuery exist).

Besides that, in the field of general programming js has and still does change a whole lot.

It's not as bad nowadays, but older node versions would break tons of shit all over the place with each major even release.

And I said card but meant letter.

In the end, you said it.

You aren't interested in new stuff.

That's probably life itself, but even then, they underestimate us as children who will ravage their parents' credit card to get the "new" call of duty, or Fortnite.

We are willing to shell the cash for a remake worth its name. Of that, I'm certain.

The countless *shitty* remasters can go to hell.

@YourMom

Final fantasy, for me, died such a glorious death, with FF9.

FF9 was a love card to the whole series.

Ten is acceptable (and I enjoyed the story a lot), anything after falls in the purview of the discussion.

Later on, I enjoyed FF15, and seven remake *a lot*

Bethesda doesn't deserve that.

They still stand nowadays thanks to reselling Skyrim (which, in itself, is a *great* game), but their actions with fallout and similar, don't lend them any credibility.

God of war gets an honorable mention here.

It's *not* a remake, nor a remaster. It's a brand new game, worth every penny.

It's actually like this.

Companies only care about profit and they've been proven time and again that their "revolutionary" vision does not align with gamers.

At least the old school gamers who have the wallet now.

They try to predate on children now, which is condemnable.

They did to us back in the time, but we had to convince our parents.

Nowadays they seem to care about children stealing their parents' cards, which is just terrible.

And since, thankfully, there are systems to prevent that, they are turning to nostalgia, in delivering what we (the ones with the money now) enjoyed. And they'll probably make a profit.

But for those of us who know, we've been experiencing their "remasters" via mods for ages.

I think the only item that deserves the "remake" moniker is FF7, tbh, which I bought (both), and is enjoyable by new gamers, and those of us who knew. (It's different, in a way that (almost) makes sense).

Mine is 4000 €, but it's kinda the same, just in case you are interested XD

@Lensflare

The arr[index - 1] threw me off.

Yeah, it's wrong in many ways. Clearly looks like AI, and of course, not gonna solve it (altho you kinda did, but we know).

My only hope is that if chatgpt tries to crawl this site for answers, it will also eat all of the spam bullshit XD

Hitchhiking as a woman then means you won't even get to hitchhike because the car will run you over before you notice it's there, because it's foggy as shit.

@retoor

Just willing to help, "roken" is actually "broken", and "yor" is actually "your".

Enjoy the free training XD.

Maybe if you invested more time into that, as opposed to blabbing conspiranoic shit, you'd be able to...

But let me guess, I'm an incel and thus my opinion is worthless, despite everyone here telling you the same.

Good thing, keep hitting the strawman.

Nice.

Wish this would be available in Android too.

@TeachMeCode

It's not that, (even when that is obvious).

So far, bot activity was kept to known accounts and you could trust her account to be her words.

It no longer seems the case, and it's a sad thing, because I consider her a really valuable person (and to this community too), but, even knowing it's probably some harmless experiment, at least for me, it drives away any need to engage.

The correct answer, and nobody will move me from this position, is a gentle reprobation at first, all the way to a severe beatdown.

@retoor

You know.

I actually liked you, but now I *obviously* can't tell whether you're a bot, or not

I mean, I can actually tell, but it's like, what's the point in letting a bot answer for you?.

You're on your way to become Anakin in mustafar... If you know, you know.

People don't do that anymore, no.

They turn to chat gpt, or Gemini, or Claude, or whatever the FOTM is.

If you want to really master software, you need to know your hardware too.

But then again, those referred in this post are the ones to be substituted by AI, because they aren't engineers, they cannot think outside the given instructions, and are just easily replaceable manual labour.

For those of us who can think, mastering a specific standard (given that it's actually followed, which it's not) is easy peasy, because it's logical.

Code monkeys can't do that.

I always remember what my code intends to do.

But that's because I've developed an inherently pragmatic approach, which I guess is unique to me.

If I'm in a shared environment with people I know can't follow (juniors) or use some obscure math IT people wouldn't know (I'm a physicist, which is not mathematician, but for practical purposes, close enough), I'll leave comments.

That's the key point. Don't comment code. Code is always readable and predictable. Document *intent*.

@Lensflare

Yeah kinda like in Reddit where posts are collapsed to like a single line. You can then manually expand, and if not spam tap a "not spam" button that updates whatever threshold is used for labeling as spam.

But yeah, the whole GameStop debacle showed that it's a rigged system to have them always win.

While I'm not against the stock market, as it is a very valid way to fund companies, I'm really against all those intermediaries that win millions at essentially no risk because if they flop they will be bailed out.

But, examples of what I said, and you'll need to Google it...

What do you call Irene Villa in her period?

A red pen.

That's the level xd

@retoor

Just for the record, it's Mexicans doing tequila, not Spanish. But we'd burn all the same, like in the meme. "This is fine".

@retoor

Oh, we do, with the French, mostly, yeah, but those aren't really dark, although one could say they will soon become so... 😏

@D-4got10-01

Because you are not "thinking right" (TM)

To top it off, you are deleting while iterating...

Satan knows what you will end up with xd

I know some but they refer to Spanish people or events so probably wouldn't make sense here.

We can all have our redemption arcs. I was a hardcore Nintendo fan back in the day... That is, until they made the bullshit decision to delay super smash bros brawl for 6 months in Europe, just to space its release with their nth bullshit Mario kart.

Next day I chipped my Wii and my DS, pirated SSB brawl and never gave them a single cent ever again.

Nowadays they only have like one or two games worth playing anyway, and emulators allow me to enjoy them to the fullest, and not that console wannabe the switch is.

@lorentz

I know about hardware design but I'm not an expert either.

The circuitry aspect was definitely a thing before. Nowadays it's, as you said, probably feasible but you have two main limitations

- budget: it's much cheaper to reuse tried and tested hardware units than redesign from scratch.

- thermals: in modern processes, we've gotten dangerously close to the thermal limit (which is why Moore's law is no longer applicable), where higher component density will cause then to melt, short-circuit or otherwise malfunction.

There's also a lesser known issue which, while solvable, exponentially increases complexity, which is, in this case, memory limits, as even with your 3 extra bit solution, you'd need another timing control line, like CAS and RAS on current RAM, BAS, from bit, I guess.

@kiki

You don't really have a choice about repo access when they belong to your company.

@lorentz

The reason addressing did not go down to the bit level is because it would have taken a prohibitive amount of circuitry to pull off.

Fucking DS store somehow always ending into all my repos the moment some crapple fanboy touches them... Agreed.

@jestdotty

Alas, nothing.

As was initially established, you can not define any valid metric to what "meditation" is.

Please note, I'm not saying meditation is stupid, or nonsense, nor nothing of sorts.

What I said is, you can not give a factual definition. Without that, you can not establish a null hypothesis, and therefore, no actual scientific proof to nothing.

Science ends here. I don't expect you to understand what it means, given prior interactions.

In order to affirm something as real, you need to have a control group. In your case, it's impossible to establish, so by all means, it's scientifically *not* valid.

By all means, believe what you want, Satan save me, but if you keep flaunting utter ignorance, expect to meet backlash.
