The CTO you're convincing is winging it as well, so how much convincing do you actually need to do? How many C-levels have been convinced to blindly adopt ML/AI/Blockchain/TrendyThings? If these folks really are winging

>When something should change, you edit the freakin' code. If you have different kinds of hits then you make different procedures. e.g. magicPixieDustHit(monster, pixieDust, weapon, damage). I dunno, maybe aim for something a little

>(monster, weapon, damage) is "the object". Now an environment flag causes fire damage to deal +10% more. You're either going to have to extend the hit method again (further complicating it), or just pull that flag from th

Until you get a decent combat system in and now your hit has to go through 30+ calculations. It's almost never as simple as "monster.HP - damage". Besides, if we really want to be snarky, why haven't you wrote it in asse

Hit is an event that occurs, so not sure why it should escape OO even though in this example even though it's only decreasing ints. I routinely code event objects rather than modifying another class directly by the delta that should oc

Neat, but I thought the view compilations were cached and optimized already? Wouldn't it be better to add a pipeline that minifies the compiled views instead of having files on disk?

The core issue IMO is resilience to rejection and the work required for friendships. Not everyone wants to be your friend, and it's easier to learn that from the internet, not only because of hate, but even casual twitter dunks. When y

The service in this case is facilitating a trade. Liquidity is important, but I think it was oversold to pull some of the PR heat off of HFT. Especially since a lot of retail investing advice has turned to index funds, liquidity for individ

It seems like the bitcoin selloff coincided nicely with the general stock market selloff. I think someone wanted out of bitcoin after staring at a flat price line for 6 months.

You know, the show continuing well past where the story makes sense is very much in the vein of Silicon Valley. Plot planning be damned.

The fact that the never-paid price ever reaches the patient in the form of a bill is the problem. This isn't for lack of pricing data. Hospitals know what they've paid for procedures previously. Every patient and procedure is diff

The question about who will leave is always silly because we don’t have privileged info about IBM’s plans for what happens after the acquisition. Things that keep people with RedHat could go away without much notice. That’s why the uproar a

Split routines to me are back/biceps one day, chest/tri, then legs totaling 3 days a week, but maybe the fitness board I learned that from is wrong.
