    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

    Jump
  • Paradox Paradox 5 months ago 100%

    Kagi generated key points:

    • The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
    • The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
    • The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
    • The network has "aggregation by default" as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
    • The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user's home address.
    • Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
    • The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
    • Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
    • The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android's vulnerability rewards program.
    • Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.

    Recently I had to do an update to the underlying environment a codebase ran on. This was a somewhat involved upgrade and took a longer period of time than most of our work usually does. I did it in a separate worktree, so I didn't have to constantly rejuggle the installed dependencies in the project, and could work on two features relatively concurrently

    It also provides some utility for comparing the two versions. Nothing you couldn't do other ways, but still useful

    Some Elixir testing Tricks https://pdx.su/blog/2023-06-14-some-elixir-test-tricks

    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.
