I used to use SVN until (checks his oldest git repo) … October 2009, at which point I made the jump to git.

I will never ever consider going back.

The standard way to support this is through something like GNU gettext . From a developer's standpoint it primarily means swapping out all of the string literals in your UI layer with calls to gettext (using an appropriate identifier). I've used something similar before and once you get used to it, ...

On occasion I've worked with people who just wouldn't use any consistent indentation, and even code inspection was a nightmare, let alone having to work on it. This is not a problem for me, in that it's trivial to fix. Whilst I would like devs to use the same indentation style as me, worst case sce...

Also (on the file-hosting front), brand new free (to use) cloud file storage with ridiculously high storage & BW limits (I think it's 50GB storage & no BW limits unless you're DoSing them for a free account): https://mega.co.nz . It also encrypts your stuff, although you can share download URLs that...

Use MiniTube instead. MiniTube connects to YouTube using the protocols designed for non-web clients (phones, smart TVs etc). It doesn't use Flash or FLV (huzzah!) and has a download option built in. Oh, it's open source too and available for all major platforms. If you want to download a video just ...

Btw - is it only me who thought that the ship Josh was flying in this demo looked a lot like an X-wing with S-foils in flight position?

The turrets on that fighter also reminded me of a whole bundle of little R2 units

Shield visibility This relates to the recent update video . Whilst I generally agree with Josh that 'having shields always visible with no way to turn them off' would make the game look a little crummy, I would like to advocate for an option/toggle to switch on/off a subtle visible shield display. ...

*falls out of his chair as he sees the graphical style of the RTS interface*

This. Looks. Amazing!

Pish, that's a TIE Advanced, not a regular 'Fighter'

Edit: Yes, I came to the forums to point that out before I watched the actual update video. My priorities are screwed up.

Good info. @Katorone - I'm really talking about much deeper things than that commandments page talks about. I'm really thinking about things such as how I use the Service Layer pattern as part of the architecture of the app. This includes what the responsibilities of the service layer are (IE: what ...

You forgot the super-advanced search! In all honesty, this is the search I use for all public-facing forum websites. I always find it superior to the forums' own built-in search and I don't have to worry about the differences in search-string matching patterns/rules that are forum-specific. I should...

… catching yourself writing about coding at 1am. Anyone on the forum have any experience with the creation of "This is how we write software here" guidelines? Anyone on the forum have any experience with reading "This is how we write software here" guidelines? What worked well and what didn't? I'm a...

The level of character customisation I was expecting: Zero Punctuation: Torchlight (video cued up to the appropriate part).

As an aside: Like in the local library.... shhhh! I used to watch Trigger Happy TV (the show that sketch is taken from) a little. Dunno if they'll play outside of the UK but all of the episodes are on YouTube: Trigger Happy TV YouTube channel . The ringing phone: "HELLO! I'm (in the library/at a con...

I was perusing some of the 'resource gathering' threads and something that I saw from a while back struck me. A lot of the 'resource' threads so far seem to be coming up with the conclusion " please don't make me micromanage resources within my fleet " and I pretty much agree with that sentiment wit...
