I bet it will sell like hotcakes with GTA6 coming out


Literally only reason I started looking at potentially (but most likely not) getting a PS5 is because Rockstar refuses to release PC versions together with console versions...


I'm honestly tempted for this very reason


Because not all code is yours. In a team, the time spent on “rabbit holes” adds up, increasing the risk of bugs. A `slower` but predictable language can lead to more consistent, maintainable code, which is often more valuable in the long run or last but not least, running in production.


> In a team, the time spent on “rabbit holes” adds up, increasing the risk of bugs.

It adds up with the number of people on the team? Or the number of people on the team squared? Cubed? nlogn? Because a lot of those options would still favor the former language.

And if it's happening particularly often, that means the rate will fall off drastically as mastery is achieved.

I see a risk when code does something different from expectations. I don't see any risk when code has some kind of novel syntax that requires looking it up. Or when you learn about a feature from the documentation or a blog post.

Being predictable is quite valuable, but predictability is different from memorizing every feature.


I found an old Leap Motion device in a storage box with USB devices last week. The support you provided for it was great and had me waving at my desk all day.

Even though the Leap Motion is now unsupported, I still enjoy using BTT daily.


Haha, yes Leap Motion was a lot of fun and I think the BTT integration landed me my first job (@Siemens) after university. That must have been almost 10 years ago -- yep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDJKFtLDx4k


Wait, the software I’ve been using for what feels like decades and which always gave me a charming, cosy old school vibe due to its almost infinite options and deep understanding of OS X/macOS was written by someone younger than me!?

Mind blown.

It’s an incredible tool and among the first things I install on a new Mac.


oh that's cool. I have the original (first version) of the Leap Motion in a box somewhere. Now I want to pull it out and install BTT and see what I can do with it.


unfortunately I removed Leap Motion support a few years ago ;-(


oh pity, anyway to have it work in an unsupported fork? Or do older version of the software work on modern os x?


You can do the diff output with watch by using the -d option.

  watch -d <command>

The rollback feature seems useful.


Yes it supports variables, don't know about KV store, see: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...


Deploy on a friday is still a no go for us.


It's often required that we go on a Friday or Saturday to minimize potential impact if there's an issue


When I was briefly working in a construction plant. Weekends is when non critical or potentially risky operations on machinery would be done, as to not block the production chain during workdays.


When you work on weekends too, a friday is just like any other days.


Some [1] propose to split the week in a different way, so that you take a day off on Wed and one on Sun and you work on Sat, so Fri becomes like Thu.

Or when you have a robust CI process in place


I've yet to see the place that had the level of testing, and infallability of the CI process, to where I wanted to deploy on a Friday. Yeah, it may be a low chance that anything will go wrong, and an equally low chance we'll be unable to easily rollback, but so few things can't wait until Monday that I want to roll those dice.


For any somewhat complex architecture, even with great tests and canaries there will be unexpected issues.


I have 100% code coverage in my unit tests + behavioral tests (with cucumber).

And yet, problems still happen.

Programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file.


Even an empty file can contain a bug, by virtue of being empty.
