This would make the business model for gatcha games (which rely on a small fraction of their player base sendings tens of thousands of dollars each) essentially impossible. So a net gain for everyone, then.

It occurs to me that you can stick a single colon into the title after “architecture” and you pretty much get the summary of the article.

On my phone this website throws up a giant banner over the bottom 30% of the screen telling me I have cookies disabled and that I really do need to turn them back on please. Riiiight. Moving on then...

This blog pretty well sums up my feelings about the try method. It just doesn’t really seem necessary. I’m sure it would help in some of my code, but importantly not all of my code, and if a construct is only available some of the time, I

There is no greater tool for getting things to stick than than a sticky note clung to the end of a stick.

To be fair, given their history of shutting things down, it’s easy to see anything that isn’t selling ads as a hobby for google. Even if that’s not the case, it can be hard to shake that gut-level feeling. I suspect that’ll be the hardest t

This. Fmt or imports or whatever will bug you about stylistic things “don’t use snake case!” “Why are you using caps?!” “Don’t touch me!” But I’ve never seen it recommend using built in functions. Hope it stays that way.

Yes and no. It’s true that cleverly written tests encompass bad input, but this also means you need to add an additional layer to your test thinking, which depending on who is writing those tests might might yield results of varying quality

Either almost literally nothing, or the work that should have been covered by hiring more staff. It’s either of those extremes and as far as I’ve seen (working in various Japanese offices for almost a decade now) rarely anything between tho

Yeah, I think it’s trying to connect to networks that are somehow “partners” with my provider, and for some reason there seems to be hundreds of these scattered around Tokyo.

I do this occasionally. I just wish Apple made it easier to turn off and on permanently - as is right now you have to go into the settings page and flick a switch. Though, given my terrible memory this particular solution sometimes comes ba

I tried this initially but new wifi networks kept springing up with such frequency that the whole thing became a game of whack-a-mole. Maybe they rotate names frequently here? I might give it another shot though. There can’t be that many

The only way I’ve managed to avoid my iPhone connecting to random wifi is to go to settings:wifi and set “ask to join” to true. And now it just bugs me with prompts a hundred times every train ride. Ifaik there’s no other way to stop autoco

They probably do, but Microsoft isn’t an ad company like Google, so that danger is probably fairly existential to them.

I imagine because go compiles to an actual native binary, whilst electron wraps a browser and a chunk of JavaScript in a zip file. You can’t really say “go gets away with it” as though these languages are doing the same thing.

Yikes that’s a lot of work to keep messages synced, but kudos to you for engineering around Apple!

I believe it was possible for Coda, so optimistically I would hope so.

Well, if it's aside from taking a photo , there's probably nothing. It's not like you can buy a cheap scanner and rest it against a large canvas. I worked at a cultural institution (the National Library of Australia) for man

This is particularly true of, say, many mobile games. But conversely, if not hours of enjoyment, then by what metric do we gauge a good game? Perhaps there’s a line here between hours of enjoyment and hours of mindless engagement?

For a lot of these games, and especially any social game company, a passionate base of users isn’t enough to offset the amount they sink into advertising and running the game. From their perspective it’s just not worth it. Being able to run

This is very true. I’m the last few jobs I worked here the ratio of full time to contract was shifting significantly to contract (though working in IT my perspective may be skewed). Is also worth nothing that work laws in Japan are flimsy a

Depending on the company you either take personal leave, dipping into your paid vacation, or you have a day worth of pay reduced from your salary. The companies that give you actual sick days are rare, but thankfully more of them are poppin

A little on the noes perhaps but try learning how to teach. I took some time to learn how to teach English many years ago and it was a great perception changer.
