That design feature is very deliberate. I remember listening to a talk from Sid Meier and at some point he explains how they tried to implement a rise-and-fall system in the original Civ. It didn't go very well. Playtesters hated it. W

> If you want to learn, you have to try harder. Rather than learning being pointless, I would focus on this. In a world of instant gratification we are fed the idea that if learning isn't fun and easy, then you are teaching wrong. G

Can there be a cultural bias to this? Coming from a mediterranean country, many of the points that other comments raise as problems for meeting people past 30 are not so pronounce. Is not that it isn't harder to meet people and make st

The guy behind the top 1 restaurant in London on TripAdvisor said that he used to write fake reviews. Right now its not too difficult to identify patterns that tell real accounts or comments from fake ones, but as AI learns to write better

You are right and I'm an idiot. I got introduced to them the other way around and didn't fact check. Sorry about that.

I like how Ansible shows how sometimes technology can come full circle. Ansible started as a more organized way to manage infrastructure beyond hacks and handmade scripts. As technology matured and infrastructure become more complex, the si

I'm a Spaniard and I could never do that. In order to be able to work like that you need a very specific set of circumstances, probably first of all being self-employed. Since I work by contract for a company, and they force me to put

The fact that Germany ranks 4th in innovation makes this list not very meaningful to me. Germany is one of the most conservative and tech-averse countries I know, and they are struggling to get theirs businesses up to date.

This can be seen very clearly in videogame monetization. We love to hate microtransactions, timers and loot boxes, but the fact is that those techniques won the war long ago. Some games have tried to be the 'White Knights' of mone

This article seems to be based on observations about Apple-centric conferences, is it true for the broader industry, though? I work in DevOps and, if anything, DevOps conferences seem to be popping around like mushrooms. Maybe it's rel

I already did that. v1 was a short-ish prototype to play around with an idea. v2 is the fully realised vision. As a matter of fact the game is feature completed (save from minor features), and it just needs balance, polish (oh boy, does it

Yes, I'm active in Reddit and I posted them there. I also released one in Kongregate, where it got bad rating and terrible feedback. Here you can find my current project, it's a sciency idle game so not everyone's cup of tea.

I have mixed feelings about this kind of articles. On the one hand is inspiring to see what other can achieve. On the other hand, I feel like I am getting trapped in a culture where if you aren't working on 30 side projects outside wor

The first time that I went on vacation to Africa I was mindblown. The concept of city, town or even village broke down for me; one of the places where I was staying was just a streak of houses dispersed more or less close to a single road.

Conversely, if you just happen to know the answer because you saw it before, it feels a little bit like cheating. Quite honestly, I wonder how useful those kind of questions are to test someone's capacity to do the job.
