They used to be called Guilds, even in the user-facing client. I'd imagine a conclusion was drawn at some point that the term Guild is far too niche even inside the already niche video gaming community; its really only used in MMORPG-s

There's too much evidence to support the conclusion that companies like Facebook are far more bloated than they need to be for their core experiences. The reason is all about laws of diminishing returns, in every cross-cutting concern

I'd suggest filing a public report to their support on Twitter phrased something like "services inaccessible to underprivileged users", that should trigger enough keywords for their AI managed support to notice. Be sure to ge

Probably because they don't need to. Their mobile chips are so ludicrously far ahead of everyone else in the world, it seems possible they discovered a crashed UFO and integrated alien technology into their designs.

I did something similar during a cardiac stress test, with a Fitbit Versa. My best conclusion was that the Fitbit is at least +/-5 BPM off and it lagged behind the hospital equipment by roughly 15 seconds (judging by heart rate peaks).

That's fair. But; employees at Google who weren't even remotely near the company's work on Drone AI programs were still disgusted and ashamed by it, enough to threaten quitting. Despite being separate firewalled departments,

I think I draw a line when companies who aren't Microsoft are paying Microsoft to include this software. And its worse because I paid $150 for this OEM key. And its worse because its the professional version. And its worse because they

Windows Core OS is literally the next major OS from Windows (though who knows if they'll just silently upgrade Win10 without a name change or what). Its not small. The point is to create a modularized operating system, built on OneCore

In classic tech journalism fashion, no mention or even apparent knowledge of Microsoft's own efforts in this area: Polaris, Core OS, OneCore, and CShell [1] [2] [1] https://www.windowscentral.com/understanding-windows-c

IANAL either, but it seems like that only applies in the case of malicious action on behalf of the accused toward the contract signatory; essentially coercion.

How is an acceptable use policy even relevant to the developer of this application? Its the users of the app who would be breaking the policy. At worst they can argue that he broke it while developing it... so they can go ahead and shut dow

That's mostly what I mean. I love godoc and the philosophy behind it; its a massive improvement over the manual documentation build steps of Java, JS, Python, etc. But even more modern languages, like Rust and Elixir, do it better. The

One really minor, but powerful, thing I'd love to see from the Go team is a better designed documentation experience. Here's the Google-produced Github library godoc [1]; its absolutely horrendous to browse, as is any sufficiently

Surround it with a hyper-dense mesh of windmills. Now it can generate energy when demand is high, and store energy when demand is low.

It is finished, at least the R&D. The GTX 10xx cards are based on Pascal, since which we've had Volta and now Turing. Both Volta and Turing have only been used in workstation and server class cards. There are a few things in play.

Plenty of companies have succeeded going against Steam. You have game developers like Blizzard, EA, and Epic who all have their own Steam-like platforms on PC where they distribute their titles. Arguably these platforms are more popular tha

The industry is fucked because we've had 30 years of "X at any cost" mentality, which has permeated most product managers, developers, C-Suite, anyone technical. X can be a few things. Growth. Data. Analytics. Usage. Engageme

Large tech companies seriously do not care. They say they do, and they point to all these heuristics and optimizations, they point to Chrome's dev tools where you can simulate slow connections, etc. Great. The problem is, they're

Pricing and capabilities have probably changed over the years. The cheapest GPU spot instance you can get on AWS today is a p2.xlarge, which will run you $0.45/hr. And also, p2-class instances run Tesla K80 GPUs, which are Kepler cores

Its a really fine number of people who can benefit from cloud gaming right now. Even Parsec advertises: > We know, however, that cloud gaming is not right for everyone today. If you play more than 8-10 hours of games each week and you

I think that's absolutely fair. The pace at which the industry is starting to solve really big, hairy problems in standard ways is ever accelerating; the devops space right now is undergoing massive solidification under the Cloud and K

Starbucks is absolutely ahead of the curve on this one, and its a system that every major retailer should probably investigate. What I don't want to do is have an app installed for every retailer. But if they integrate with Apple/
