It’s a dark pattern. Maybe at one point in time people would be tricked into believing $3.99 was emotionally a lot less than $4 but we’ve grown up with it now for several generations. Everyone knows it costs more anyway because of taxes not being applied until the register. The mistrust is built into the system out of tradition more than anything.
NewPerspective@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?9·2 years agoI’ve been cooking up an idea for a smaller style MMO with as few NPCs as possible. It’d take a large skill tree in which you can’t possibly put points into everything so people have to specialize and work together. NPCs might fill in jobs while a player is offline like taking sales at the store or unattended crafting but all quests and rewards come from other players. Something unavoidable is that I think there has to be an end or else people either 1) can branch out and become so skilled they don’t need other people or 2) stagnate. So after X real world days, an apocalypse happens. Plague, dragon attack, aliens, zombies, blight, pirates, whatever. If you win, you can rebuild and get a benefit before your next go around. If you lose, you migrate to a new place (generate a new map) and try again.

NewPerspective@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Show me a better text format for serializing7·2 years agoRule of thumb: valid json is valid yaml. If you’re ever unsure, do it the old fashioned way.
NewPerspective@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Show me a better text format for serializing411·2 years agoMy problem with yaml is if you truncate it at any random spot, there’s a high likelihood it’s still valid yaml. I don’t like the idea that things can continue without even knowing there’s a problem. The single opening and closing curly braces enclosing a json object is all it takes to at least know you didn’t receive the entire message. Toml has the same issue. I’ll stick with json when it makes sense.

You give them too much power.
NewPerspective@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•To what extend are you grateful for free services?3·2 years agoSimplePush. They have an API that is simple enough to call with a curl statement and the parameters of that call are used as a notification on your phone. As a developer, I use it for long running tasks that I want to be notified about.
