  • Not OP here and I’ll vote for her in the election 100% but the concerns I’ve seen raised most often are:

    She was a cop and her history reflects the history of being a cop. Being a prosecutor means that you’re pressuring innocent people into jail time plea deals and using cops to back up your arguments all the time. She’s the epitome of back the blue.

    That makes her a great choice against the “Law and Order” fascist felon at least.


  • It’s how big orgs like Google do it, sure. Working there I had 192gb of ram on my cloudtop.

    That’s not exactly reducing the total spend on dev ram though - quite the opposite. It’s getting more ram than you can fit in a device available to the devs.

    But you can’t have it both ways: you can’t bitch and moan about “always on internet connections” and simultaneously push for an always on internet connected IDE to do your builds.

    I want to be able to work offline whenever I need to. That’s not possible if my resource starved terminal requires an Internet connection to run.

    Ram is dirt cheap and only getting cheaper.





  • Rogue was the start of the genre - games that came after we’re always measured against it.

    Rogue was a dungeon crawler - a type of game that had been done plenty of times before. Starting over on death had also been done.

    But it became genre defining by being the best at both.

    Spire I’d say is similar. It is genre defining because the combination of gameplay elements was so perfectly executed that it will become the measuring stick against which all roguelike deck builders will be measured. So Spirelike fits, I think.
