Sadly my course at university was too easy - most of the times i could easily wing the exams, prepare for a presentation day before, and do the same thing to the project - and get equivalent of B. Professors were also good at teaching, whic

It was the same for me... except my tab counter is at 1399 and rising. I should probably see a psychologist someday.

I had only two horrible teachers to be honest, so i consider myself lucky. One was in both primary and middle high, the other was at my university. First one basically stripped me of my ability to count big numbers in my head - i could mult

Maybe, just maybe, we can decide if content platforms are responsible for user content or not.. and stick to that decision. Quite frankly i am against any form of censorship.

He is ethical, and known to expose wrongdoings. No way in hell that he is getting hired in that industry.. and even if he is - no way that he'll have any kind of access to incriminating information.

MTG can have: an infinite amount of pieces(there are cards that restore your library, generate infinite amount of mana/tokens) infinite amount of actions each round, by each player too! Endgame criteria which can be changed by cards th

I played Netrunner a lot, and it beats MTG in base rules(as i do mean absolute minimum of MTG rules) complexity. When it comes to cards themselves, and their effect on gameplay, it blows netrunner away. Just look how effect layers are const

Well they are creating a new database, from old datasets(that live in separate databases). so technically you are both right. Also having it centralized allows for new features(fast cross-country lookups for example)

I mean... weren't influencers always fake? It is in their name - they exists to influence people towards some specific outcome. For some - it is equivalent to ads, for others it is political agenda. Some might even believe in what the

I wonder why regulations target content sharing platforms, not the content itself. or the ads companies.

It dosen't compare to vita. size of Vita is more comfortable for portable gaming, and it is way more comfortable to play than Switch(controller ergonomics aren't great in Switch).

oh yes they are investor-like questions. And rightfully so. Employee is investing time in effort and receives compensation and equity in case of startups. If equity is non-zero, then obviously employee will ask the same questions an investo

First one is worded arrogantly i agree, but the core idea of the question is very important. It is a variation of "what drives you? what motivates you?". It's purpose is to find a CEO that doesn't want to just sell out a

is it democratic for most elected governments to keep pushing for legislature again and again, waiting a bit between attempts? Repeat it ad nauseam um 'till people get bored of protesting. Just a reminder that quite a lot of people are

Yeah, i am really curious what approach will content hosting companies take. Will they analyze each video if it is a illegal or legal one, checking everything... or just implement a simple, fast and cheap filter that will block most of the

I mean isn't every form of social media a platform for influencing(another word for manipulating) people? of course that every government will try to abuse it, so will corporations, it is very convenient and profitable for them.

I read quite a lot of Linus emails, and honestly, he was harsh, but he was always constructive. As a younger developer - what matters to me most is the constructive criticism. I don't want to have it phrased nicer(nor harsher) than nee

Absolutely pointless. without client and server side input prediction you get huge input lag - way above tolerable ranges. with input prediction you get annoyed players that their character doesn't do what they want. Plus with multipla
