The game mentioned in the article, "Overcooked", actually caused my first and so far only visual migraine. It just completely stressed me out, forcing me to focus on an impossible task. Suddenly my vision looked like someone threw

Yes, maybe the lucky photographer will be noticed by another large company that is also looking for people who are willing to work for "exposure".

I only upgraded from a OnePlus 3T to a 6T because the former got stolen. I hope LineageOS becomes stable enough on the 6T so that I can keep using an Android OS with recent security patches, but like most phones, the battery will probably b

That's true, and personally I'd much rather fight with my own code since I usually 100% understand what it does. In a team of course it would be different - unless I perfectly document my own code, my colleagues would be better of

I tried that, and at first it almost worked. But that scaffolding just kept breaking. TeamCity doesn't want to execute my unit tests since I've upgraded to .Net 5.0, I still don't get how that docker "latest" tag wo

I had this interesting experience back in university. We were doing some simple web service project in pairs, and it consisted of a program and some devops stuff. My partner in that project turned out to have skills that exactly complemente

When things are kinda slow and aimless at work, that's when I really start to do some projects at home again. But to be honest, it all comes and goes. But yeah, right now I'm both single and in lockdown, and if it was any other wa

Goal-oriented work, creativity and motivation definitely have a difficult relationship. In programming, I learn the most things simply by experimenting at home on my own. I'm thinking about switching jobs, so I wanted to learn some new

I have a lot of respect for people involved in free software communities and projects. I've interacted with some maintainers in bug reports / feature requests and so far that has been extremely positive. But I haven't been pa

My single experience with trying to use Linux daily on the laptop was 10 years ago. It had an "optimus" configuration, a combination of integrated/discrete GPU. I had to find instructions and resources online to get it to run

Seniors can make the same mistake - I had one literally senior colleague argue that he's been coding for decades longer than I have (I was only coding for ~15 years at the time) and that I should just do as he says, but would not tell

There is this recurring joke (to put it nicely) in pop culture where some clueless person will spell out a URL as "H T T P COLON SLASH SLASH W W W DOT...". Part of me now always goes "but we use https now..."

Must be a good design - I have that one because it has proven to be very effective in various tests. I think the DIY one could copy another aspect of it - the washable, "coarse" fabric filter you put around the entire device that

I live in an old building that has a lot of cracks and gaps for air to circulate, so it rarely comes close to 2000ppm. When I leave the house for a longer period of time (hasn't happened in a while), you can see the value slowly approa

I live in a relatively small apartment. From everything I've read, levels between 1000ppm and 2000ppm seem to be quite normal indoors, e.g. in an office. Not healthy, but normal. One of the reasons may be that houses have become more a

Look up the air quality in your area. If it's bad, an air purifier is probably a good idea for your long-term lung health. If you leave your windows open for longer periods of time, then an air purifier might be ineffective.

I connected an SDS011 dust sensor (didn't check US prices, but I'm guessing ~20$) to a raspberry pi and then used remote controlled power sockets to switch my air purifier on and off based on some limits I set. Of course when buil

It's done so that when the crypto bubble bursts again, the market isn't flooded with used graphics cards. In 2017 everyone was buying GTX 10XX cards, on one hand because they actually represented a good improvement over the last g

Yes, exactly. I just played a mobile game, and as usual it has a hundred different in-game currencies that you can buy with real money. Every time I finish a level there's an endless parade of meaningless "rewards", and I see

With the exception of small indie developers, I'm too cynical to believe that the difference would end up benefiting the staff.

Looking at Epic Games, I don't think a lot of pushing is required when you see people make enormous amounts of money like they did with Fortnite. My understanding is that they are now using all that money to finance their steam-alterna

I love Factorio and I don't doubt that happy free-range game developers exist. But that's not what I would expect the typical game developer experience to be like.
