This mapping format was used in the (relatively recent) video game Detroit: Become Human [1]. I found it to be a refreshingly fantastic take on Telltale-style branching story paths; they're instantly upfront with how the choices you ma

I think, philosophically, they're interesting, but in practice the statelessness ends up not being a huge benefit. In the few deployments I've seen, you end up observing this pattern of, first, not enough information is placed in

Yes, and Yes. Though, as far as I know, there is no financial reason to buy RIs at this point. Check out this comparison table [1]; you get the same savings, but far more flexibility. AWS very rarely removes features. People may still buy

If you see someone doing something which you believe to be wrong, but the law suggests is right, asking them to stop absolutely is an inappropriate channel. But Companies are not People. So this is a dumb metaphor.

> This is trivial to work out in AWS, I just go to their Reversed Pricing Page [2], look for the total cost for an m5.large (2x VCPU/8GB RAM) instance for 12 months which is $501 (12 x 41.75). Well, nowadays, you don't buy rese

They're threatening a boycott. They're not actually boycotting. I'll start paying attention when they actually start deleting repositories. That's also when Github will start paying attention; they've gotten enough

These open source projects certainly love the very high quality, free services Github offers them, until they start learning how the sausage is made. ICE has done, and continues to do some terrible things. Horrible, horrible things; all leg

Oh yeah. This is one of those mindblowers that you can tell even older young adults and we realize how out of touch we are getting with The Youth. "Kids are getting bootleg THC vape liquid, where are they getting it?" "Oh, it

Something doesn't sit right with me concerning their use of "over 10,000" open source projects on Github to train the AI, then immediately turning around and telling those same projects "thanks, that'll be $0.75&#x2

I sometimes start it with "I'm curious; why didn't you use sshd?" I think that does a decent job of clearing up your intentions. I also believe, as a general rule; don't use the word You. Compare "Why didn&#x27

Microsoft is hedging, because they're behind the two leaders (Sony, then Nintendo. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here). Whether they're genuine or have ulterior motives is irrelevant, but you should watch some of Phil Spencer&#x

Its going to sell well, like every Tesla. I suspect that it won't sell well to people who buy trucks for their actual utility, but you're right that this thing will totally be a status symbol; just not among people who would uti

Stadia is a mess of inconsistencies in strategy that I can't seem to resolve. It provides the closest to an "awesome" experience when wired up on fast, reliable internet. But its also the most interesting in a mobile setting

Announcing a new Half Life game the same week as Stadia's launch. Huge move.

I think it would be helpful to broaden your horizons a bit. Everyone is talking about Stadia; whether it will be good or not, whether it will eventually see long-term success. These are very boring questions. The more interesting question i

Prediction: These comments will be obscenely hostile toward the new device, yet the new device will rank among Apple's best selling computers to-date.

VW is arguably in third place, which is not a bad place to be in. Tesla is obviously King. Toyota is doing fantastic. Nissan is pushing EVs, though the quality of their vehicles leaves something to be desired. VW is not behind most of the m

As far as the wording goes; it doesn't suggest that platform owners have a right to filter content. It suggests that other users (and communities) have a right to filter content. Though, that right of platform owners to moderate conten

CS:GO just isn't a fun game for me. Maybe there are cheaters, but sometimes its hard to tell. Instead, I prefer framing it in same vein as why Fortnite isn't fun anymore: People are just way too good nowadays. I like to think I&#x

Yeah, its pretty crazy how the narrative has become "Trump is insane, AWS was going to win it until he stepped in." AWS fought very well, but Microsoft was destined to win no matter what they did, as long as they could check every

ODESZA used what appears to be a simpler version this technology during their live performance at Coachella in 2018 [1]. It was definitely sponsored by HP/Intel. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZi2cN7LEfM

Sure, as does TF2 and Apex. But they all still have loot boxes which cost money to open, and do not reveal their content until they're opened.

The fortnite allusion at the beginning is sort-of unfortunate; its one of the few massive games out there which doesn't sell loot boxes in the traditional sense. The Battle Royale mode has never had a loot box system remotly like thi

I ran into that "stopping from being able to delete your account" thing with regards to the SMS code to verify your account. Its definitely real, at least for some people. My suspicion, however, is that it was an unintentional bug

You can't just Give Up and live a life without any Trust. That's like experiencing a bad breakup then deciding that you never want to be in a relationship again, because being vulnerable is too uncomfortable. Computing is striking

I'm astounded with some of the user security dialogs that Macs display. I got one today: "VSCode wants to make some changes. Deny or Allow." That was the exact wording. Seriously? THIS. BENEFITS. NO. ONE. The only thing I can

Its more incredible to me that YC would be so interested in the business prospects of new graduates that they would process-ize a system to invest in them. That's not to say that new graduates can't create successful businesses, b
