Great news!

I've missed Heidi after changing job and moving from MySQL to Mongo and then Linux many (many) years ago. Looking forward to see how it goes with Postgres and SQLite nowadays.

I've been working on a programing language to read and write Excel spreadsheets. Or more accurately I've been writing a custom programming language and porting my library to it, so I can transpile it out to other languages.

Currently it is being transpiled to C++ and C#

I have some static websites on S3 and CloudFront. I use https://goaccess.io/ to parse the logs and generate a html report.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there is a lot of bot activity there, that using JS might cleanup a bit.

If you are interested, I have a write up of my setup here, with the report generation down at the bottom: https://gamestrut.com/Blog/2022-06-08-static-site-hosting-on...

I see this. My assumption is its some kind of html/js cache, local storage across browser sessions maybe. And when you click an email it realizes it needs to update.

The display also supports partial updates, so you can just upload a few sub rectangles of what has changed onscreen. AKA "dirty rectangles". You can get over 60fps depending on how much is changing, and since these games are on a static background, that's not much.

I'm not as jaded, I've been lucky enough to work at nicer places, but having made the same jump I would strongly recommend the same thing.

Either nights and weekends, or after a few years as a SWE you could just retire somewhere cheap and go nuts on your game dev passion.

I agree with what you are saying, except that "I AM ERROR" isn't actually a bug. The character is intentionally named that in Zelda II, even in the original Japanese.

Huh, TIL. I even had the game back in the day, and had no idea that wasn't an actual oversight.

Programmer joke. See my sibling comment to yours.

And "Bagu" is mistranslated; his name is supposed to be "Bug".

Ya i think OP may be mixing up crash bandicoot and banjo kazooie

Sorry, that is my mistake.

Ambernics seem to be very high build quality. I got the RG280v myself after some research. It's not as powerful (so it can't play every PS1 game at full frame rate) and does not have analog sticks.

But it is very small and I think that along with save states and standby helps it be more of a pick up and play toy for short bursts, more so than my 3DS or vita.

Thanks both

Or what actually happened was the radio show asked if white going first was racially based, concluding that it was not. But conservative media spent days getting themselves outraged over it before it even aired.

OP was talking about someone making the argument, not that it would be affirmed. That's what I was referencing, fwiw
