Python is still the most popular coding language, but challengers are gaining ground

    Not only that, but with toolchains like deno, it's almost enjoyable

    I wrote some telegram bots in deno and it's got one of the cleanest deploy chains around, just compile to an executable for the target architecture, and SCP it over. Exec is statically linked, and so it just works

    Why did 3D Platformers die?
  • Paradox Paradox 2mo ago 100%

    I'd barely say they died. Doom Eternal is full of platforming, something a lot of reviewers winged about, and there are big undies like little kitty big city that fit the bill nicely, as well as the remake of SpongeBob Battle for bikini bottom

    Failing Manufacturers Are Pushing the Narrative That Consoles Are Dying, Says Ex-Xbox Exec

    It's honestly the best of both worlds. A well built and tested hardware platform with well known specs and manufacturer support, that's capable of running any third party software at the drop of a hat

  • Android 15 could bring the tablet taskbar to phones: Here's your first look at the 'tiny' taskbar
  • Paradox Paradox 2mo ago 100%

    Honeycomb was a tablet only ui. Google ditched the more effective ux in a fit of unification, that I believe is significantly responsible for killing Android tablets

    Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

    And these days, privacy is basically the only appeal of Firefox. It's slower than chrome or webkit based browsers, hangs out with Safari in terms of standards support, and can't hold a candle to either other browser when it comes to battery life. Why mozilla seems determined to throw that all away is beyond me

    ExUnit is wonderful, and the functional paradigms that underpin Elixir let us write extremely complex tests in a fraction of the code that would be needed in OOP testing frameworks like RSpec. But it's not all wine and roses. Tests can quickly accrue tons of boilerplate and repetition. Using some Elixir features, you can cut down on these, and make tests even nicer to write.
