Amazon dot com and building a game are so different that it is difficult to follow the metaphor to any place where it offers insight. The reality is that it costs money to support any gaming platform. The cost of supporting platforms with

Rocket league is an active multiplayer game that falls under the "Games as a Service" umbrella. There are limited time events, and new aesthetic upgrades being added to the game at a regular clip. Because of that, it's not a

The point of dropping support for those platforms is that the market isn't there. There is no gap to fill. There are maybe a few thousand people who will lose the game (unless they use bootcamp or wine). Games cost money to make. If

On the one hand, I don't think that people should be punished solely for their political beliefs. On the other hand, a person's beliefs inform their biases and their actions. A person who believes that the gender gap in computer s

This is a decent primer, but when it comes to actually implementing projectiles in games, things get more complicated (games are very complex). It’s important to keep performance considerations in mind, and be cognizant of when the performa

I use the Visual Studio debugger on an almost daily basis, and it'll be hard for me to use another tool if/when I leave my industry. Conditional and data breakpoints are gamechangers. To be frank, I didn't use debuggers much

I understand that you want to unite workers in solidarity (which I think is a good thing!) but I'm not sure if you're hearing that men and women experience issues with bad bosses in very different ways, and the channels through wh

I am so glad that the author of this piece doesn't limit his criticism to just Neumann, but he also goes after the people and firms propping up such obvious dumpster fires. Neumann would not be able to siphon off so much investor money

The idea of "notation" falling into this hierarchy is really fascinating to me. Typically, if starting a new project, I will select a language from those that I am already familiar with based on my comfort in the language and the

I think this bill passing would be a good thing, because gig workers need legal protections, and in America most people are also dependent on their employer to help cover the cost of health insurance (another issue itself; healthcare should

How are people on Amazon/Audible's side here? They're trying to use AI to get around copyright law, to produce the text of the book without a license to the text of the book. Their argument is that because they're using

It's wild how much longer this article was than it needed to be. The first benchmark showed that for the test case tested, the copying and borrowing performed nearly identically. The answer to the stated question is that one is free to

Greed is winning in America. Any person or political party that is trying to reduce staffing for a tax collection agency is trying to get away with tax fraud or they are working for somebody who is. It is far past the time to recognise this

If there is a portion of a programming interview that doesn't make sense for programmers; but the results of this section skew the results of the interview highly towards recent college graduates, what would you say is going on?

In my experience, whiteboard interviews are absolutely a form of gatekeeping. Whether the firms know it or not, they are excluding candidates who would have succeeded in the role by including weird unrelated side content in the interview. A

This is a ridiculous position to take. The amount of code that I have to write on a whiteboard to successfully do my job as an engineer is shockingly close to nil. The very notion of having a whiteboard section for a programming job is insa

This is absolutely correct. Humans are physical creatures living in a physical world and our brains have evolved to interact with that world in a physical way. Touch-screen interfaces, even good ones, necessitate a level of mental abstracti

Some people believe software cannot be truly bug-free. We have living proof that that's not true. Techniques exist for engineering mission-critical software. All software should be held to a higher standard, tbh.

i don't recall China repeatedly stating that he wanted a trade war, then unilaterally announcing tariffs on twitter leaving his own state department in the lurch. I think there may have been another party doing all that stuff.

This is the labour/capital struggle that your socialist friends talk about. In capitalism, labour produces the products, but capital still has control. Which is why it's so important for things like unions to exist. Without a unio
