I have a whiteboard. I have been studying. I have been practising. But over and over I make a few tiny errors in front of an audience and sink my chances. I think I must just be broken.

Fantastic article. Probabilistic algorithm design is fascinating to me because it's all about making sure that the system behaves as expected, rather than every individual operation being perfect. Implementing most random algorithms in

Certainly Go lacks some features (generics) which are more-or-less standard in other large languages, but I think that's a sacrifice to the code quality gods (not that you can't write shit code in Go). To use another metaphor: if

I've used Go for a few projects and I think that people who point out all of the things that Go doesn't have and Go doesn't support misunderstand the language. The problem is that most big languages today are hammers, and the

This sort of flash-over-substance internet feedback loop has cropped up in a number of different arenas. Five years back or so I was on the staff of a website that was created primarily to promote Halo multiplayer maps, to receive feedback,

This is the future of computing, and I mean that without any irony whatsoever. Simulating physical spaces as a metaphor for complex systems is incredibly powerful. I expect to see much more of this in the coming decade, especially once VR s

The same could be said for a theatrical film on a 42 inch TV or Netflix on a 5 inch phone screen, yet here we are.

The virtual theater (or TV screen) was one of the first things I thought about when I heard about the power of new VR technologies. People don't want to switch devices if they don't have to and projecting output to a single rectan

The depth of thought that Carmack is able to apply to every detail of a problem is astounding. Granted, he's been working on VR for years now and pioneering realtime graphics before that, but his perception about what the end user want

I find it odd that somebody would spend half an article talking about how users consume Twitter as entertainment then claim that it's the developers who will determine the platform's fate. It seems to me that if the content is wha

My gutshot on hearing that idea is that it's probably unethical to keep clones of primitive human-like species around for our own enjoyment. An early-human zoo strikes me as particularly unpalatable. While I think there are certainly i

"Not common?" Really? This SEEMS pretty common. And while I believe it's true that not every woman in tech gets harassed, it's obvious that a much higher percentage of them get this sort of shit than men. And it only get

I've actually thought a great deal about this. I think the solution is a keyboard that exists both IRL and in the virtual space: some sort of cheap system to keep track of its relative position with respect to the VR headset would allo

I, too, want to be a gargoyle. The abundance of virtual space is one of the main draws that I don't think people really understand yet. But if you have a sufficiently hi-resolution display, you could easily watch an imax movie or put a

If you think that's the only reason, you should look into the additional dev costs of building modern games on mac and linux.
