Thanks for sharing, I never would have expected that. As a kid, I spent a ton of hours completing everything there was to do in Secret of Mana. Recently I purchased a SNES Classic and threw that game on it to play with my daughter. We are

I second this. In my last largish application, state was getting really messy and I needed a place to keep it all organized. I really tried hard to get Redux to work as at the time it was the tool that everyone was talking about. I strug

When my 1st daughter was born, I got exactly 2 days off using my own vacation days. We were a small team at a printing company and each person had a "specialization". If I wasn't there, it was a large part of the company ef

You nailed it on the head. The Quest is a nearly "do it all" VR device. Do you want a mobile VR experience to enjoy with friends on the go (streaming to a TV/Phone)? Check. Do you want to experience the high quality (graphics

I was intrigued by VR so I picked up the Oculus Go. It was interesting, but felt lacking. I wasn't disappointed but the whole experience felt pretty meh. For Christmas I thought I'd test the upgrade and purchased an Oculus Quest.

Yikes, you are right. Just typed in "Jones" and it loaded up a dashboard with a bunch of data. Fortunately it appears to be someone playing around with the dashboard. If you zoom out on the map, all the GPS markers make a smile

Last year I picked up a projector to put in our bedroom for movie viewing and gaming. One thing you want to consider if gaming is important to you is the latency of the projector. I ended up going with an Optoma GT1080[0] because I wanted

I attempted to play it on Xbox (was a free game at one point) but controllers are not really ideal with these types of strategy/city building genres. I may attempt to play it on PC at some point as the idea of the game sounds interest

Not to mention the boxes. My Wife tends to purchase a fair amount from Amazon especially around the holiday time. The amount of cardboard that I have to cut down and fit into my recycling bins can be frustrating leading to a large pile of

While true, I wonder if this would flag her account as suspicious activity and shut the scam down. I imagine high volume returns to Amazon paired with the deletion of reviews (or seeing all her reviews on 3rd party sellers goods have only 5

That was basically my initial reaction... looks like low poly game art. Not interested.

Apologies, I meant to state that Windows WebView uses MSHTML which is IE10/11. I see in BETA right now is a Win32 API for WebView2 which uses Edge(Chromium)[0]. Not sure if you edited your comment for clarification or if I replied to t

I wonder if she suffers from hoarding as well as she seems to be a bit in denial with her expenses. The article states: > Almost every day, Jessica’s boyfriend of eight years begrudgingly hauls Amazon packages in from the porch. “He hat

Given Google's domination in the browser market, there really needs to be some accountability. Web browsers are an incredibly important tool for most(all?) businesses and if changes are not documented (including stealth patches) this i

It is an odd thing to explain to someone. "So.. you watch other people play games? Why don't you just play them yourself?" When you are playing games (especially horror) you are really in the moment and focused on the objecti

And if the claim is true and provable, Facebook ($55 billion revenue 2018) will probably be fined $1-4 million which will sure "teach them a lesson" to never be bad again! Google, Facebook, and others must just have a budget set a

Unable to read the article currently (company network restrictions) but my Wife and I have a late night hobby of watching people play horror games on YouTube. The games we watch need to be a bit more interesting than cheap jump scares (int

We recently had management ask for some diagrams of our applications infrastructure. Draw.io made that so easy with their pre-made components and export to PDF. Will definitely use it again.

Growing up I enjoyed playing Magic: The Gathering with my friends - simpler times. I remember having a pretty killer "Goblin Deck". Alas, that was 20+ years ago and are nothing more than feint memories.

The salary penalty is very true. I have noticed that Software Developers do tend to job-hop quite often taking better and better offers. Time to update my resume I believe!

I appreciate your kind words. I'll look around some job boards and see if anything looks interesting!

Yep, honestly it was almost like I never left. I used a VPN so I was almost constantly connected to our company network. At the company we don't do a lot of face-to-face meetings (typically only the older management folks here prefer

It's happening constantly for me but if there are no other claims I wouldn't worry about it. I am currently on our corporate network and its likely something is just getting blocked (IT are a bit overzealous with their toys...).
