I feel like requiring software "engineers" to be actual capital E Engineers would fix a lot of problems in our industry. You can't build even a small bridge without a PE, because what if a handful of people get hurt? But on t

It's not about visual quality so much as the complete inability of Atari to understand that people's taste in games had moved on. In 1986, Super Mario Bros was still hottest game in the world, over a million sold in the US alone

Ahh, I always forget Atari Corporation and Atari games were different. Thanks for the correction.

This article ignores the fact that aside from being barred with manufacturing unlicensed NES games, Atari also failed to compete with any of its subsequent consoles after the VCS (although it did have some success with its PCs). The console

Well, there was the Amiga, but in all fairness it was first conceived as a game console and then worked into a computer.

I have a self hosted calendar solution. It was $15 at Staples, and it hangs in my kitchen. It wasn't a complete out of the box solution, though, I had to do a little work to customize it. I placed a pen cup with a few pens in it on the

It's fiction, but the NEAL Stephenson novel Anathem explored this idea.

I don't mind the existence of baggable handhelds. I own both a Switch and a Steam Deck, and the Steam Deck won't even fit in the oversized pockets of cargo shorts. But I wish there were room in the market for both baggables and po

The max size I want a gaming device is probably that of the 3DS XL. Anything bigger than that definitely won't fit in my pocket. So screen size, what I really want is as big a screen as you can fit on a device that size without making

Older millennial here. The "we're only hiring seniors" thing has was also true when I entered the job market. Nothing new about it. Why hire a junior when the market is flooded with people with 5+ years of experience?

A lot of my childhood memories are of being frustrated at how stupid adults seemed to think I was. If you work with children, don't underestimate them.

They did the Sapphire Bullets trick in the show I saw. It was pretty dang impressive. I love that they tour with a horn section now, and hearing new arrangements of old favorites that make use of the horn section was great. (And of course

My wife and I saw TMBG a couple of months ago. I'm a big fan, but she mostly just listens when it's my turn to control the radio. Over the course of the concert, she kept shooting me these surprised and baffled looks. I asked her

Yeah, I've seen similar in pro-level software tools, CAD applications, MATLAB, etc, but those tend to be large and mature organizations with the expertise and manpower to e.g. backport bugfixes to released versions.

I liked the old "pay for updates" model. Nowadays, that seems less viable because security updates are so important[0]. I think the middle ground model would be something like security updates are free, feature updates cost money.

I recognize that I have been pretty fortunate in life, but I've never been "overnight success, will never actually need to work again" fortunate. I struggle to sympathize with "I got everything I ever wanted, and now I&#

I was pretty amused when I saw the headline, thought to myself, "oh, there must have been some reveal for the new Atlas robot" and then noticed the url was newatlas.com.

You say that, but what comes to mind is the scene from Hot Fuzz where Simon Pegg's character needs a translator to understand a thick West Country accent. https://youtu.be/Hs-rgvkRfwc?si=X6BjrTzK4hcKadeQ

Intra-continental I don't think anything beats high-speed rail. Inter -continental I don't think high speed rail is viable, unless you have a transatlantic locomotive in your pocket that you aren't telling anyone about.

I quite like mine, but I haven't done any work work on it. No typing or anything. I've read a couple of books on it, I've read some manga (perfect match for the monochrome screen), and I've taken some notes on some paper

If we get to the point that the government mandates I open a Twitter account and start verbally felating ICE, I think I will emigrate.

I suspect we're entering a "if you don't have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself, especially if you dislike what a battering ram might do to your front door" period in US domestic policy.

I just straight up refuse to drive into the nearest big city. I will happily take public transit[0] rather than spend 10 minutes looking for a place to pay $20/hr to park. And I'm the only one in my social circle like this. Everyo

Right, but how much does the display itself cost compared to $15 to print a poster out and stick it in a frame?

I am a little skeptical of this application of e-ink. Is this really cost effective or environmentally friendly? Compared to an LED or OLED panel, sure, but how does it compare to ye olde poster behind glass? If you're willing to give
