I like the intro water texture, is it procedurally generated or artistic?

I’m a bit surprised at the answers you are getting here. I think this touches on two subjects so I’ll try to give two answers. First of all, when asked about a time when, it’s perfectly normal to spend some time to think about it. I always

So... what does the scrum master do then? If the developer needs to figure out how to work things out so he aligns with the rest of the team?

I also use this approach and I love how little leverage equity brings them to the negotiation table. You want to give me equity, nice, but I'm still working for my preferred salary under my preferred conditions.

Thank you for the kind words. If I may add this, I believe two forces are particularly strong when leading us to deliver rushed solutions. One is this expectancy of the market to ever grow, faster, stronger, harder. All. The. Time. The seco

I think I might have given the impression that I'm advocating for this kind of sprint as a regular occurrence when I'm actually advocating for very spaced out moments (the kind you can count on your hand in your entire career), we

Answering as you are referring to my post. The kind of sprints I'm advocating for are few and far in between and shouldn't be taken lightly.

One of the rare instances in which I threw myself into those sprints I was advocating for is working on the national emergency management system. I loved the project, I felt like my contribution to society was well worth the months spent sw

Thank you for the defense, it's exactly the kind of situation I'm arguing for. I think it's also important to note the context of who is doing this kind of sprints. Does he have a family? Does he have other engagements? Does

I have a question and I'm sorry but where I am from, investing in the stock market is not really a big thing so I am really not educated in the matter. Am I dumb for holding on to some cash for when the market inevitably falls down so

For me, after years producing software, I've set myself up to be able to say no. I disregard urgency when it exists for urgency's sake, coming out of business despair or a gut feeling. I will gladly work for 2 - 3 months on hyper

I dislike being the pessimist but it seems overly optimist to imagine this singularity coming and undoing all of mankind’s harm... and I can imagine how someome at his age would embrace this view that surely, soon, automagically everything

I thought this was well known. Additionally you can add a +whatever, such as this.redirects.to+me@gmail.com would also send the e-mail to thisredirectsto@gmail.com.

Based on the amount of money I had yesterday before my salary and the amount of money I have after the paycheck I conclude that by 2021 I will be the richest man alive! Bull on me.

Feels like the kind of feature that you monetize until there are too many voices against it at which point you probably made so much money that it's totally worth it.

Do y'all just expect people to put their head in the sand, accept your currency of the future and accept their stupidity when compared to the crypto-Evangelists? I'm in a position where being able to make fast and cheap transactio

Are you saying blame does not play a part in identifying the problem and finding a solution?

The course did not cover Myst. Also, you make assumptions, such as the one that Myst was released when I took my game design class...

I took a college course in game design, one of the key components of said topic is ‘flow’. You want to keep the player in a state where it’s neither too hard nor too easy for them to continue playing. Make it too hard and the player loses i

I’ve never played Minecraft but it is my understanding that you have some sort of zombies that come nighfall. If these zombies catch you without shelter, they would presumably kill you. While this is a simple mechanic, I imagine even this s

It is a personal belief, coming from someone who played a lot of DotA2 and not as much chess. I think there’s more value to cold calculated strategies in a simple ruleset than to spur of the moment reactions in a dynamic environment. Then a

Thank you for trying to clarify my point, you are very spot on. I think Facebook as a service SHOULD have access to how you use the platform AS you use it and if you can stop it from tracking your behavior outside their ecosystem and gamify

by ThalesX 8y ago
I'm not arguing for control of how a service works, but control of how it works _for you_, _if_ it works for you. From my understanding, Facebook is a for profit company doing their best to get as much data as they can from me and offe

No, and I won't delete my Facebook account in 2018 or 2019. I log in to Facebook Feed maybe once every 2 - 3 months, just to see how the space looks like, always disappointed in how irrelevant the information is to me. No friend posts,

I'm not sure how to feel about this. I don't have anything backing me up but I do expect there was a clear tribe structure in place before trading really kicked off.

Well you had a tightly knit package back then, I'd argue that increased complexity in the front end was what lead to the 'full stack' developer. As the previous poster mentioned, it's quite simple, if you can implement a
