lmao. this is presented as a reason why you SHOULD believe DHH's opinions on software
…we end up with a backend that requires 99% less CPU, 95% less memory, and the only reason it needs 10 hosts is for redundancy. In fact, our back-of-the-envelope calculation has led us to believe that Hey’s peak traffic could probably be served on a single Raspberry Pi.

But in this internet subculture, saying completely insane and ridiculous things like this really is considered a form of being smart. It’s a display of pure rationality. You crunched the numbers and, sorry if it shocks or offends, but here are the results. Don’t like it? Take it up with Bayes.

I think all I really want to say is... 3D games can have style. Realism and enhanced detail isn't always the most interesting approach.

i think a lot about the thing @flantz.bsky.social said (somewhere) that goes like, well, what would we do, you and i, if we were playing a video game that was a perfect simulation of reality? i suppose we might go find a place in it to sit down and play checkers or tetris or something

I don’t want to pick on this person, this is just a really illustrative reply. something happened along the way where arguing from a place of conviction—believing that your opinion is correct — is received as prescriptive, an imposition. This is not a great development, imo

still think this is a pretty brilliant solution ("use an algebraic parser model specifically because it can be sanely modified at runtime") to a pretty niche problem ("the language we have to support has no facilities for abstraction"). makes me happy every time i think about it

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game
