Me and my brother wrote our first commercial videogame in 1987 as a 16-17yo pair of self taught programmer/artist/designers. We just did what seemed like common sense. - We had periodic meetings with the client (publisher). we sho

It's not about thinking, it's about feeling. If half-baked but apparently working features inspire confidence and are perceived as progress by clients and investors, then that perception will drive the rewards and thus the process

Do what feels right for you, what you feel is interesting to you, what you see your body and mind enjoy doing and want to do more of. Feed your brain by reading, doing and teaching, be it coding or (preferably also) something else. Strength

I have no idea why you got the downvotes. Also, you can check it out with the device emulator in chrome devtools.

Each one of them must be quite a story. Being in San Juan despite the danger must have been very important for most, and they almost were unable to make it.

"Default settings" and "DBA with production responsibilities" should never coexist in the same post. Since >50% of the complaints are about "default settings", you know the rest.

But you CAN make a loop that looks as simple as the Python example; Python just happens to provide one built in, right? The Python code holds the thread for the entire duration just like the Node one will hold the event loop. Wouldn't

Two notes on that: - I was thinking of situation where the manager is speaking to the team-at-large, not to specific people individually. Sorry for not making that clear in my post. - Sounds like they were already a problem and should have

- "I don't want to hear your problems, only your solutions" - "If anyone doesn't like it here, the door is open" These may sound obviously toxic, but often are taken with a grain of salt by many employees. In m

The article is correct that promises and async iterators are not a good idea for tight innerloops. The author just doesn't seem to realize that it is possible to read parts of a file synchronously, and thus build a sync iterator that w

After being massively in love with the original game (first Steam game I get 100% achievements), I just started a new save. So far it feels mostly the same amazing and self-guided experience, just a bit deeper, so I'm not people who ha

The first step is to understand that the problem does exist, even if it may not be apparent, or even if we can find other, simpler or more comfortable explanations. That's all my reply could hope for at best. There are many smarter and

You don't see how all these surprising facts where people are doing things that go against their best interest, can be explained by irrational but strong forces such as sexism?

Of course, most of us would do that to ourselves. But calling it "neglect" to someone else is a different thing.

You are being deliberately negative here. Choosing to forego generics in favor of simplicity (and its impact along several axes) is a postcard example of a compromise. It is a tough choice that many people will be unhappy with, but there ar

The article does a great job of presenting Redux and stripping the "magic" out of it. But the section about dependencies between reducers bugs me A LOT. "If a CommentsStore needed data from a PostsStore to properly update its

My second problem with Redux, besides the common one about boilerplate, is precisely the mismatch between the recommended, RDBMS-like shallow store, and the typically tree-like OO nature of both the UI and the application logic. I understan

I imagine most seasoned professionals placed on a PIP will probably already have a reasonable guess if it's a BS posture or honest attempt to fix a problem. If not from the get go, definitely by the first 1:1. I guess, it doesn't

If the idea sounds great and is arguably great on all accounts, but in practice proves to not work, time and time again, perhaps the idea needs to be parked until the environment is fixed. Otherwise, arguing about it becomes a distraction w

If safe Rust code does not invoke any of the UB corners of LLVM then Rust can claim to be free from UB. I don't know enough to guarantee or verify it, but it's my current understanding that this is the case.

Also CouchDB for integrated API serving via views (?) and extreme replication abilities. Surprised to see Riak labeled as a "caching" DB, but well.. I'm not sure they are an option for anything anymore.

I would not advise anyone to try to get into computer graphics directly with the Vulkan or DX12 APIs. Start with DX11, modern OpenGL and/or WebGL, and work through your computer graphics theory (and a lot of practice) using those. Geom
