It's good to hear from an embedded dev. Embedded is so under-represented that people love to argue about things like low level devs don't use them every day.

I'd rather just pay for the games I'm actually interested in

by ChrisRR 5y ago
Then why not sell it cheaper and let people buy the games they actually want rather than bundling them all in the price?

It's based around £5 microcontroller and a 1 bit display. It's not cheap. It's more similar to the arduboy which is around £50

Now if they dropped the price from $180 to $50, maybe they'd have more people's interest.

Exactly. When I was on antidepressants but not actively having therapy, that was "only treating the symptoms". But it actually freed up my mind to allow me to adjust my mental state I would assume this is similar, if you cut down

Medium just sort of became the go-to for vaguely technical blogs. I'm sure there's much better platforms out there

It's nowhere near as bad as you're making it out to be. As a Brit, we get a ton of American TV and no-one bats an eyelid understanding flashlight, sidewalk, apartment, etc.

And yet most people in the US seem to think there's a single British accent, which is simply not true. Maybe if they heard a scouse, or geordie, or black country, West country, bristol, etc. they wouldn't even recognise it as a br

I think it's also that twitter's UI isn't designed for discussion, it's designed for shouting your opinion into the void. So I think this empowers people to voice their shitty opinion without consequence.

Errrrr you do know you don't count people who haven't had the virus in survival rates, right? If they haven't had it, they haven't survived it.

There's also the discrepancy that the UK counts deaths within 28 days of a covid diagnosis. So while it's statistically likely that most people did die due to covid, some won't have I wonder how much those two even out

Did you forget to multiply by 100 for the percentage or something? I just calculated the survival rate for the US as 98.2%

"He calls it “a quest on keeping the combustion engine alive in a fossil free future”." And why is that a good thing?

At an average pace you could walk 20km in half that time

Of course he would. He was the brains behind Apple, the guy who could design a computer out of his bedroom and seems to have kept that tinkerer mindset.

I wonder if this varies by country. In the UK an office seems quite happy to put their heads down and just plow away with the work apart from taking tea breaks and the occasional natter But when I've spoken to American colleagues, they

Studies always miss one important piece of information, whether the increased productivity actually lasts after the initial novelty has worn off.

Generally speaking, criminals aren't smart people. Otherwise they could probably use their intelligence to earn money through legitimate means

I think it depends on your speciality . If you're something like a web dev where there's probably 100 other people applying for the same job, then it makes it easier for other CVs to be considered over yours. Something more speci

Exactly. I think if you're the sort of person who can self teach yourself an entire CS degree in your spare time, that's going to look very good on your CV, accreditation or not. The issue would be getting past the automated CV ch

That doesn't make it better. We should be realising the mistakes of our past and improving with time

So the entire point is basically it's a flash game which doesn't need flash. Where has this person been?

Unfortunately it's not. If you're working on a small 1 or 2 person game where your work blurs the lines of art and engineering, you're highly unlikely to be successful. For every Undertale there are literally hundreds of ot

Oh god, I used to work with the guy like this. Incredibly clever graduate, blew some of my knowledge out of the water. But every day was a game of code golf to him. His code was absolutely illegible
