To be fair, you can have two products that uses different technologies but have a similar UI/UX, and in a way BlueSky is more similar to Twitter than to Mastodon, UI/UX-wise.

And to be honest it's a good thing: many non-tech friends were a bit confused about Mastodon, where you have to understand parts of the technology behind to do basic things (like follow someone from another instance, IIRC). BlueSky is (currently) a bit more friendly UI/UX-wise. I don't know how that will evolve with more instances, though. I also found that discovering people was easier, but YMMV.


If I'm not mistaken, Diablo 2 Resurrected is not a 20 year old game, since it is a remaster of the original Diablo 2. It has been released ~two years ago.(21/08/2021)


The tracks are amazingly cool.


Steam reviews seem to highlight documentation and development issues! It is sad, the tool seems to be fine. Reminds me of aseprite (which is more 2d): https://www.aseprite.org/


The developer responded on the forum:

Q: "Has SpriteStack been abandoned?"

A: "Nope. 2020 was terrible for me in terms of ability to work. SpriteStack has been rewriten from the ground - it's just terribly delayed because I did not expected things to go that way."

Personally I got absolutely nothing done on my side projects in 2020 between Covid, moving, and a new job. 2021 has been far more productive.


It was a weird year, I'm a work from home guy, I love work from home, but work from home is not as nice without the option to break it up by working from other locations occasionally. I need an occasional refresh I think.


I've been using a Polyend Tracker for ~6 months and it's been such a fun experience. I'm by no means someone old enough to have been using trackers back then but the Polyend Tracker is has a really thought out interface enabling rapid prototyping as well as whole song production on it.


Wouldn't it be harder to evaluate in PoS-based cryptocurrencies?


PoS still encourages using more powerful hardware and faster internet because it equates to more transactions. That said, I've seen people use Pi's as stakers. But you can still test the current draw per transaction much the same as with PoW currencies.


More power doesn’t equate to more throughput in PoS schemes, unless everyone is increasing their power and communication isn’t your bottleneck, but even then there’s a quick ceiling you’ll reach.


Not really, you can evaluate PoS-based by the bandwidth and the message complexity of their consensus mechanism and the space required to sync and run a node.

Of course :D


If i understood correctly, the USB interface is optional, as printed on the pcb.


Well that's expected with major versions, no?


I just finished an internship at a research lab and was completely dazzled by the lack of control on the code people write.

The reasoning is that since it's research code that is used to get results only and not be used in a product, doing tests is not useful. I disagree completely: being sure that your implementation of your model or equations is exactly doing what is should is very important to evaluate your model, and yield correct results.
