There’s a massive transition happening in the video games industry right now. Gaming has become a full-blown cultural movement, and many fail to appreciate how it has already become the dominant form of leisure and entertainment for an entire generation.

But as culture has evolved, technology has advanced, and more people have gravitated toward games, the industry incumbents that run the show haven’t kept up. Our big bet is that by empowering game creators with better technology, we'll make the entire ecosystem more welcoming, connected, efficient, creative, and fun for all.

We’re an early stage startup backed by Thrive Capital, Griffin Gaming Partners, Ribbit Capital and a16z's inaugural SPEEDRUN class. Our mission is to help game creators achieve independence by building the tools they need to start, run, and scale their businesses.

He died in prison. I don't know how much more subject to laws you can possibly get.

I disagree. There are plenty of erotic undertones with TurboTax. I always feel like I'm getting fucked

We all have responsibilities as technologists to be ethical (to our own standards, at least), and to keep in mind the impact of the things we build. That applies regardless of whether other tech with a negative social impact exists, or for that matter whether it will exist. You can still be a good person, even if no one else is doing so, and you're under no pressure to be a bad person (in this context, anyway).

If a surgery were developed that reversed the effects of alcoholism and dramatically reduced a person's desire to consume alcohol, wouldn't we still consider that a medical breakthrough?

I think so, but I suspect it would be neuro or related surgery and, regardless, we need to distinguish between severe "last resort" cases in extreme contexts (which obviously exist in alcohol, eating and other disorders), and more generally aimed surgical "quick fixes" as in the article that are a) not needed and b) detrimental to the individual and society as they undermine those long term solutions, disciple and moderation as discussed.

Are there languages that copy Rust's type system and compiler ergonomics without the memory safety?

I feel like 90% of my struggles with Rust in the real world have to do with the borrow checker. The two pieces don't feel related enough to me that they need to be interlinked.

So true! As they say, workers of the world, unite, and submit your quarterly OKRs!

A friend of mine in college installed this on my laptop when I had my back turned. For a month or so, I wondered why anyone thought this feature was a good idea, and why no one I knew who used MacOS seemed to complain about it.
