Wasn't Piranha Bytes not profitable for quite some time?

Their games certainly had a community of fans, but I don't think those are enough to keep a whole studio afloat.

Just thinking out loud, I did not look at any numbers, but in my head what's done them in is not producing games that feel good to play. I loved Gothic 3 and Arcania at the time, but I'd choose any other 3rd person RPG that actually has snappy controls over the more modern stuff like Elex and I feel like that's the mainstream opinion going around.

Für Softdrinks und co. bzw. alles was eine niedrige Viskosität hat überhaupt kein Thema.

Aber wenn ich mir so einen Proteindrink oder ne Fruchtmolke gönne, dann klebt das Zeug im Deckel und ich patz mich an damit sobald ich trinke. Da hilft kein Ausschlecken, Abtupfen oder irgendwas, sondern maximal auswaschen und das scherts mich jetzt überhaupt nicht immer zu tun.

Wenn ich mein Taschenmesser nicht mit habe, um den Deckel von der Flasche zu trennen, dann kauf ich mir für die Mittagsjause einfach solche Getränke nicht mehr. Find ich ehrlich gesagt einfach Schade, dass man da keine Ausnahmen machen kann.

Ha, that's funny. When I run some Visual Studio builds on Windows it completely freezes at times.

Never have that issue on EOS with KDE.

100% that.

Especially that working software over comprehensive documentation part, which can be automated so easily if done right.

There's so much value in TDD and providing a way to do integration and automated UI tests early on in a project, yet none of the companies I've worked at made use of it.

Also automated documentation tools like Swagger are almost criminally underutilised.

So, judging by the wizard frog being clothed. The wizard just told this dude to get naked for what reason? 🤭

Unfortunately I can't help you with Nobara, but I'm surprised you're having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

Not really. Exceptions are a controlled way of indicating something went wrong in an application.

The only point where you wouldn't know about the possibility of one is when you don't know enough about the language features you're using or when you use a badly documented library or framework.

Yeah, I had a similar case with some authentication middleware I used that was part of a library.

It would always throw an exception when a user wasn't authenticated instead of just giving me some flag I could check.

Wouldn't have done it that way, but it was okay for an API controller.

Another upside of Jetbrains over Adobe is that you can get edu-licenses that allow you to use every software of theirs.

The best deal our university could get from Adobe was 25% off on Photoshop if at least 200 students bought it.

Depends on who you think the people are.

CTOs, technical team leads and such can make those decisions. And devs can also suggest migrating to simpler solutions.

If a tech giant like Amazon can do it like they did with Prime Video, I don't think it's impossible other companies can do so too.

I'd have recommended it as well.

Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.
