  • I seriously hope it’s like the rendering at the bottom of the article with two physical button areas (4 each), two physical joysticks, and two touch pads. That feels like the best of all worlds.

    I want to love the Steam Controller 1 so much but the missing right joystick and the touch pad for the left dpad just feels so bad for so many games that were designed for two joysticks. It’s so hard to get the muscle memory right. I’m always trying to use the left pad as a dpad and tapping it wrong.

    I wish someone could show me what I’m missing but it feels so frustrating


  • But also maintain an older car for as long as possible, shop at thrift stores, do your own cooking, garden, save meat for special occasions, collect rainwater, get some older used solar panels, and have a small monthly hobby budget. You’ll find you can live so well on so little. For some reason we’ve all been conditioned to act like we’re wealthy for no reason at all. True wealth is freedom from the grind, not a stupid new toy or status symbol.

    Become Hobbit pilled and realize the good life isn’t about isolation and stupid stuff but deep connections with friends and the earth.












  • F# is such a fantastic language.

    I’d not hesitate a second to use it (and Fable) for my own startup. I’m very comfortable with Ruby, Clojure, Haskell, Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Typescript, and C#. Yet I would pick F# over all of those in a heartbeat.

    F# has great type safety (but not forced into monad transformer chaos like Haskell). You need about 1/3rd less code than C# and Java, and the compiler will find more bugs than in those languages.
