  • I don’t really think it’s any of those things in particular. I think the problem is there are quite a few programmers who use OOP, especially in Java circles, who think they’re writing good code because they can name all the design patterns they’re using. It turns out patterns like Factory, Model View Controller, Dependency Injection etc., are actually really niche, rarely useful, and generally overcomplicate an application, but there is a subset of programmers who shoehorn them everywhere. I’d expect the same would be said about functional programming if it were the dominant paradigm, but barely anyone writes large applications in functional languages and thus sane programmers don’t usually come in contact with design pattern fetishists in that space.




  • I really don’t understand all these articles either, I’ve been playing a lot of recent games and IMO this is one of the best years for gaming in nearly a decade. Tekken 8, Helldivers, animal well, and lethal company are all very recent games I’ve had a blast with this year. Maybe it feels bad because of consolidation under Sony and Microsoft, but I feel like nearly all the buyouts I’ve seen have been studios that were on life support creatively, if not monetarily. ActiBliz hadn’t released anything other than trendchasing crap and COD installments since overwatch, which went to shit long before OW2. The last good game Bethesda publiahed was prey and you’ve gotta go even further back for a good first party title.



  • NFS is generally the way network storage appliances are accessed on Linux. If you’re using a computer you know you’re going to be accessing files on in the long term it’s generally the way to go since it’s a simple, robust, high performance protocol that’s used by pros and amateurs alike. SSHFS is an abuse of the ssh protocol that allows you to mount a directory on any computer you can get an ssh connection to. You can think of it like VSCode remote editing, but it’ll work with any editor or other program.

    You should be able to set up NFS with write caching, etc that will allow it to be more similar in performance to a local filesystem. Note that you may not want write caching specifically if you’re going to suddenly disconnect your laptop from the network without unmounting the share first. Your actual performance might not be the same, especially for large transfers, due to the throughput of your network and connection quality. In my general experience sshfs is kind of slow especially when accessing many different small files, and NFS is usually much faster.
