It's been too long since I played Witcher 1 to really remember the feel but I never had the complaints other people constantly bring up. In fact I put off Witcher 2 for some time because unlike Witcher 1 it seemed to require using a

For a while I experimented with giving easy problems like that during 'phone' screens (usually over google meet, with a shared text editor link), and whatever their first answer was I always asked if they could think of another wa

I never heard complaints, and my own experience was with the stuff they were wrapping up for my team just as I was hired. It was solid and we extended it further about a year later on our own without issue. (Organized code, including some p

I think one perspective for companies looking to hire FTEs is that at some point, those "job hopper" advantages are best captured by hiring consultants and other non-full-time people for fixed term gigs. (It's another questio

I think most companies are pretty amenable (that is, a lot seem to fall into the trap) of having an employee who becomes rather irreplaceable. Maybe it's the guy who makes himself responsible for the build infrastructure for the rest o

Thanks for the lols. Unfortunately not accurate at all, I've found more rings of truth in actual horoscopes (libra). Mildly disappointing but I think that's just me being spoiled by incredible AI progress elsewhere. In theory I wo

Four strategies I can think of right now, but this is off-the-cuff and not written very well... First, even if you have an opinion, regardless of how strong it is recognize most of the time you don't have to voice it or lead with it.

It is ridiculous, but chess history has a lot of silly drama at the top levels, so whatever. It's less silly to me than Carlsen throwing his title by refusing to play the next world championship, but again, whatever.

What's your approach to establishing authorship? I'm sure some trolls will try to claim things they didn't actually make and get them removed (and vice versa).

Sometimes I think a single change that would have an outsized improvement on American culture would be to make the mandatory high school art class include a week of sketch-drawing naked models, as actual artists do, both male and female.

To me Godot became legit with version 3 adding physically based rendering like everyone else. But arguably there is one AAA game, the Sonic Colors: Ultimate remaster. Sure the studio modified Godot to some extent (but reportedly not enough

There's a copycat effect at play too. Once something becomes well-known enough, it enters as an idea into more people's minds that it's a possible thing, and some will attempt it. Before it was smashing the stack, now it&#x27

I think the Lisp Discord server is also better at this sort of thing. I've seen a few requests (not walls) or tips for better formatting in the #beginner-questions room but they're pretty polite, and at least one person with reall

1. What's your own probability estimate that you'll be back to Lisp by, say, 2024? 2. Can you elaborate more on "they are very awkward to work with and only offer a subset of the abilities of the Emacs plugin" for vim? W

Right, it's fine, and is a pretty basic macro. Doubly linked lists are pretty basic data structures too, even the Rust versions once you figure it out. I like your sibling comment making it look like the CL version. I still want to kno

More to the point of how simple (and easy) defmacro is compared to syntax-case and syntax-rules, I like another fare post: https://fare.livejournal.com/189741.html If you're as smart as fare, it "isn't too ha

To provide a bit more context, most of SLIME is just Common Lisp code ( https://github.com/slime/slime ), with a bunch of Emacs Lisp code alongside to support interfacing with Emacs. But you don't need that Emacs Li

VM is a good idea. I barely even trust a lot of the open source stuff, there's deep stacks of magic (and not so magic) shit in modern machine learning, and too much "we depend on pip installing this particular git repo, sometimes

FWIW I'm using an old gtx 1080 Ti to play around, it takes about 21 seconds per image. You can make it go even faster by lowering the timesteps taken from the default 50 (--ddim_steps), though both lowering and raising the value can re

Some decent advice here already, so I'll provide something from another angle by just picking something for you. That is, if you continue to be bothered by this, and think you have the actual capability to become an expert in multiple

What do you mean by 'fully'? I mean, with a lot of hard work, sweat, and cursing that comes with making any large game, not to mention a game engine and various support infrastructure too, there's at least one existence proof
