The difference between crunch and game jams is that:
1. Game jams are short bursts, and very occasional.
2. You’re not supposed to make a full game.
3. If you back out there’s no repercussions
You yourself decide to start game jamming, and you are in control of how long you work

The hate is justified as they are using their close-to-monopoly position to force other browsers to play constant catch-up. Which is forcing the web to go in the direction a singular company wants it to go.
Firefox is in a terrible state. Safari is cool when it works.
The only good browsers are Chrome and Chrome based nowadays. It has significantly advanced the web as a platform.
IMO, the hate is unjustified.

The problem isn’t Twitter locking and shutting its doors permanently. The problem is the software that runs Twitter entering an irrecoverable state that there is not enough hands to solve.

I know this is a joke, but in case people wanted a serious answer:
Due to the fact the sun is partially covered it results in your pupils dilating to let in more light; while the UV light overstimulates your eyes causing damage internally. Eye insides don’t have pain receptors.
I looked up why you can't stare the sun when it's eclipse, and guys what gives its basically no different than staring at the sun with no eclipse.
I've stared at the sun more than enough times and I've never gone blind.

C is not exactly "low-level" unless your target device is the C abstract machine, which is itself loosely designed around a PDP-11.
The only language that is near "low-level" and "close to the hardware" *is* hand written asm. But even then your CPU does microcode shenanigans
If we don't keep raising awareness of low-level programming skills, the skillset will disppear forever under a sea of SDKs, binary blobs and proprietary chips.
C programming matters, assembly language matters.

You’ve just discovered tuples, congrats!
Most languages has this already.
Returning multiple values on the stack anonymously is not always a good thing, often can lead to API confusion though. Which is why i prefer returning structs, is on stack and often better api.
This is a sick feature that more programming languages should have (from "Jai")

Some shaders in games are temporal — they rely on getting the result of the previous frame. In this case a division by zero caused a pixel in a bloom shader to become NaN, then during the next frame a multiplication by NaN happened spreading the NaN value.

At this point if some critical infrastructure software goes down, with the current lack of people to “cold boot” it, it could take days to weeks to months for the site to become operational again at full capacity.

PSA: note that the “ALT” text feature of Twitter is meant for you to describe the contents of an image, not to put random junk.

This ignores the point that usually playing games, especially with people, is often a spontaneous thing.
If your friends ping you about a game you don’t have installed you won’t be joining them that day if it takes more than an hour to download.
Just calculated: If you begin downloading a 100GB game / massive patch in 9AM at the morning and go to work/school and return at 5PM (u hours), you'll be completely fine with 50Mbit/s connection.
You can download a new AAA game/patch every day just fine. 50Mbit/s is fine.

As someone who’s too disabled to “work a normal job”, who have been exploited by the job market for cheap labour (due to being autistic), made to overwork constantly; I’d say capitalism kinda sucks. Especially considering how many trans folks struggle finding stable employment.
very political take, but tranfems should recognize that capitalism is good for us, and gives us with the ability to provide for ourselves and our community. We are very capable workers, and can create amazing things, and be fairly paid for our work. This is already the case.
