The book "A Deepness in the Sky" features people living on an ship whose operating system is thousands of years old. One of the main characters is considered a software archaeologist of sorts - he's an engineer, but in a sens

Downvoted because the sarcastic bent of the comment makes its actual intended meaning somewhat unclear.

Same. Obra Dinn is a much more complicated and interesting game. It's 10x the game Papers, Please is.

Yes, the guy is honestly some type of genius. To be this talented of a programmer, and across multiple platforms, languages, and toolsets just dazzles me. It's hard enough to just be competent with one platform. I can't imagine. A

I did the same for both parents and recorded it as I interviewed them. It was extremely interesting. You learn a lot.

The specifier "more than 0" strikes me as odd. Both sentences would have been the same without it. > we've hired people through a global outsourcing company > we have staff who have been displaced by a war

I'm not arguing that it's crucial, but I think it's a neat convenience. Everyone has spent time scanning through that list trying to find their flight to see what gate it's at and whether it's leaving on time, infor

Disagree, I think it's incredibly cool.

$5000 a month? Who is this for? I'm a little confused. Seems like even the military would be reluctant at that price point, let alone private boat owners who aren't multimillionaires.

Totally off-topic, but if you click on "Careers" and scroll down to where they list their funding sources, the font size becomes so large I had to move away from my computer to read it. Reason unclear.

I don't see a problem with this. I'm glad that we have freedom of religion in the United States, and nobody is systemically persecuted or deprived of opportunities based on believing in one god or another, but I also feel organize

Something about the phrase "ramblings of a pathologically eclectic generalist" smacks of egotism to me, I dunno why but it just seems a turn-off. It feels like saying "I'm just deeply interesting, I can't help it, i

In my time off I only work on something I'm legitimately excited to work on. And it took years to find that thing. But when you're really excited about building something, you find time.

"obviously" -- speaking as someone who has run a box fan from sleep til waking every night for over 15 years, I would not say that is obvious at all. I don't need it to fall asleep, but I need it to stay asleep.

I'm not sure I understand this comment. For the record I downvoted it because I don't think it makes any sense.

Subnautica. You have a knife for self-defense against creatures but that's it, 99% of the game is just exploration of the ocean. It's wonderful.

Yeah I wasn't sure how I felt about the line at the bottom that read "This is a good time to announce I'll be deleting my blog - just kidding, please like/subscribe/share."

They did admit they fucked up. Then they tried to make the best of it by looking for possible ways of preventing other people from repeating their mistake. What did you want? A blog post that says "I suck, I'm a failure, thanks fo
