Microsoft hasn't been known for good engineering for... a long time, but this seems like the type of idea an undergrad with zero real world experience might come up with (or I guess AI).
This is why I avoid corporate languages like this. Swift and Go are also on my "hell no" list.
I hope people don't forget these corporations' involvement in all this. When this is all over, they're going to pretend like they didn't have a choice. The fanboys are going to flock to their defense regardless, but normal people need to remember that Google and Apple are fascist collaborators, complicit in their crimes, and enemies of the constitution.
If there's a silver lining here, it's that more pedophiles could get doxxed.
If Roblox is Epstein's Island, Discord is Mar a Lago.
A shitty platformer in gamemaker with great music, but the music is an mp3 of a popular song I downloaded on Limewire.
Interesting, can you pass arbitrary command line arguments via a URL like that on Windows? If so, this could be catastrophic if all you need is a malicious link on any website to trigger it.
CouchDB (a no-sql db, but whatever) automatically provides a REST API that's designed to be exposed directly to clients. It even implements its own client-facing authentication system. "queries" are configured in advance from the admin side, and clients just pull the results, allowing for very efficient caching. Basically, if you RTFM enough to get a couchdb instance running, you have 90%-100% of your backend complete. You could create an entire scalable full-stack app using only client-side code... and if you're clever with HTMX, you might even be able to do it without writing any javascript at all! (I tried once, but failed because I'm not that clever, but it's definitely probably possible)
So TL;DR: I like couchdb, and the idea of exposing your database directly to users isn't unprecedented. I wonder if there are any SQL databases that offer a similar thing?
Eclipse Theia isn't classic Eclipse. It's basically a remake (not a fork) of VS Code, designed to be backwards compatible with VSC extensions. They even have their own plugin registry at https://open-vsx.org/ to avoid Microsoft's lock-in strategy that plagues forks like VSCodium.
The only Jetbrains product I've used is CLion, and I didn't like it because of how bloated it was. My PC fans would kick in every time I launched it, and none of the refactoring/auto-complete features were good enough to convince me to switch from Sublime Text + LSP plugin. At the same time, my work has forced me to become a build systems expert, so I have no problems having to set up everything myself. Project templates in Jetbrains IDEs may be a hard requirement for some, which I totally understand.
Use Sublime Text, or something opensource like Eclipse Theia.
Sure, you may have to learn how to configure the stuff IntelliJ does out of the box, but that will make you a better engineer so it's a win-win
Is it still fashionable to claim you were always an AI company, and just developed to build the capital to achieve your AI goals?
In any case, AI is (and always was) a meaningless buzz word. Worse, it's a pop-culture adjacent buzz word.
“I feel liberated,” one top banker told the paper. “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled.… It’s a new dawn.”
I don't think people realize how fucking smoothbrain incompetent the powerful and wealthy are. I think everyone understands that there is rampant nepotism in this country, but don't notice the scale of the problem. One of America's biggest weaknesses is the deference we give to people who have a lot of money, regardless of where that money came from.
These nepobabies will elect a fascist government that eagerly wipes it's ass with the US constitution, just so they can OwN tHe LiBs on social media. It's the type of thing that can only come from people who have never faced any kind if hardship or consequences in their lives. Who cannot even imagine that the same constitutional rights they're trying to trample are protecting them, because they can't imagine an existence where they need protection.
Fuck these clowns.
It sounds to me like you're looking for someone to give you permission to use AI code generation. If that's the case, then here you go:
I, Entwine, a professional software engineer, decree that DesertCryptid shall have permission to utilize any Artificial Intelligence product to generate code for his game starting today, and until we reach AGI (at which point my decree will hold no weight).
Anyone who disagrees with my decree shall have to face me in a code review (to the death)
No, I just don't like it. (I won't clarify why, because Godot has a bit of a toxic fan base, and I don't feel like dealing with that)
