Do you have a couple accessibility experiences from engines you thought were good? Maybe not "compare" to avoid flame wars, but maybe some highlights.

jhare | 5 years ago | on: Open source projects should run office hours

It's called "support" and many companies pay for it to be provided by many of the major FOSS software producers; mileage with those services varying I'm sure. Making demands of indep producers? This "should" vocabulary I'm not a fan of. Maybe I'll write a blog post about all the things "others should do" and sure I will be heard? Sounds like there was plenty of extra time on the table for this author to make these office hrs to begin with

jhare | 5 years ago | on: Open-source, not open-contribution

Efforts from non-experts would likely hamper a complicated project like a database. Even though the hypothetical denied efforts being earnest well-meant efforts, I can't suggest a riff to bands I like.

jhare | 5 years ago | on: People that think you’re an asshole

Actions are different from thoughts. We're judged/arrested when we do that. What people think, on the other hand, is immaterial to whether one should be happy or not.

If one is required to be concerned with not "being an asshole", how are risky ventures ever undertaken?

jhare | 6 years ago | on: The Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline

I agree with your points, and there are a lot of constraints for running a wiki. Especially on a volunteer basis.

Indeed it is not free content, the volunteers that edited the UE4 wiki must be pretty disappointed. But Epic isn't broke and the vague reasoning they offer is insufficient to me and many others.

p.s. Coincidentally I am a daily user of AwesomeWM. Thanks for your efforts!

"security risk" - So they're just trying to hand-wave a bluff at a huge community of developers? No one believes this. edit: also I feel bad for this community manager having to lie and apologize

jhare | 6 years ago | on: TikTok told moderators to suppress posts by “ugly” people and the poor

News flash: social media is garbage. What do you expect from these companies? It's just a private entity that makes its own rules about its own landfill of humanity. All of a sudden because anyone can make a post TikTok is obligated to preserve their rights? Not the case.

Not that this is a good thing. It's childish to be surprised and indignant about these companies' policies and behavior like they're your buddy or something.

Now I really can't quit the internet

jhare | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: I lost my ability to focus for hours on coding. How to regain?

I had to completely clear my mind of the past, and of what others may think of my project/code. It's a brand new day, you're breathing, you can truly work on whatever you want.

When I'm hot on a new video game, I can't wait to fill the most immediate next hours on doing it. What was that for you at some point? I enjoyed QBasic in gradeschool and revisiting after years in the field was really fun.

Whatever that code is, I suggest pursuing it even if it's not

a) something everybody on here says we need to be doing

b) related to your dayjob

c) related to that "big project" that you need to do perfectly

I wish you the best.

P.S. strike perfectionism out of your mind

P.P.S: Practically look into using the Pomodoro Method

P.P.P.S: Either start or stop doing drugs. Or see a board-certified medical professional if you think that would be dope. It is.
