How does that go battery wise?

I love the Nintendo DS. Slips right into your pocket, can play anywhere, a huge catalog of games, easy to add an R4 to it. It can even play GBA games!

The hori split pads are great, but you can’t use them wirelessly. And the adapter that exists to use the pad not on the Switch is wired. Otherwise it’s 100% better and have really nice joysticks (now I can’t use that as an excuse for loosing on Mario kart…)

I don’t understand what this has to do with my post?

There is still the journal you could use to recover the old state of your database. I assume you commited after your update query, thus you would need to copy first the journal, remove the updates from it, and reconstruct the db from the altered journal.

This might be harder than what I’m saying and heavily depends on which db you used, but if it was a transactional one it has to have a journal (not sure about nosql ones).

Luckily the GB(A) consoles are the easiest to mod nowadays, to add backlight, rechargeable battery, better audio… IMHO this is still the best way to enjoy GB/GBA games, instead of emulators which can be buggy/force me to stay on the computer (or worse, on my phone)

Funny playing IPS v3 and shell+buttons (for IPS), clean juice rechargeable battery. They both have guides and that’s the only thing I needed.

I’ll bite the bullet: I’m making my own scripting language for fun, as a learning experience and a tool for my own projects. If it can help others, great! But that’s not my main goal.

In nearly 5 years working on it, I’ve made at most 400$ from donations and grants. Open source isn’t a viable source of income, no matter what ; and programming language dev is even less profitable.

All I see is another wannabe generic purpose and C++ (and Rust? Already?) replacement. I’m not saying they shouldn’t try, but a lot have already and it’s pretty tough. C alternatives like Zig and Nim don’t seem to have taken off, Vala either.

Synth Waves 84 with a few colors tweaks to the comments to make them more green. Also disabled gloomy effects even though that can look cool for 5 seconds.

I prefer being delusional and a cranky old dev, rather than trusting AI by giving all of my workplace code and logic. Powerful? Maybe. Helping you ship products faster? I don’t know ; no metrics have been published about that in controlled settings, and I still think people will get lazy and after some time even the ones that tweaked the code and analyzed it thoroughly will just stop caring.

Go ahead, jump in that bandwagon, and prove me wrong in 5 years. All I want is proof.

Also, I didn’t know one could be a cranky old dev after a few years of experience only

I didn’t say that people should go on the internet and pick the first forum post either ; that would be like trusting whatever chatgpt is handing you :p

My point was more on the “people are lazy” side of things, but yeah you have to stay critical of both chatgpt and forum posts.

People prefer having something generating shitty code and not checking it, instead of asking or searching on internet for a substantially better solution
