Lots of good advice, thanks a lot. As they are a rather small company and they posted the position a few months ago I think they might spend a bit more than 60 seconds but gifs are still more telling than still images. There will be a CV, l

I used this page so much when creating my HexMap Library for Unity [1] (it's MIT Licensed so I hope its okay to advertise it here). Are there any other pages comparable to redblobgames which covers game related topics in such a engagin

CO2 has some commercial uses too (greenhouses, chemical industry), so they can actually sell some of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide#Agricultural_an... Carbon Capture - like every single other measure

you don't really need a real robot, but assign some "time cost" for various actions which depends on spatial distance and type of action and if it is a different action than the previous action. humans are really fast when fo

the 1000 apm thing is because of a bug in how apm is calculated in starcraft2. There is a hotkey to assign all your units to a new control group while also deleting it from all other control groups which TLO extensively uses, and while it j

There are just way more economic solutions than new nuclear power stations (and the old ones really start to have a lot of issues and have a lot of downtime). Look at Wylfa Newydd, Hinkley Point C, Flamanville 3, Olkiluoto 3 and then you wi

the referendum was non-binding so there would not need to be a formal process in this particular case - however it probably would cause a lot of upstir anyways.

I always wondered why that happens at all but then I thought maybe it is because of their historic origins starting out as book seller - where showing another book after you bought a book makes absolute sense. While for refridgerators it ma

with Doxygen or other code generation tools you can add images which can help users understand your API more easily though. Not saying images are always helpful but there are definitely use cases. Natively adding images into comments would

static void Change(int[] myArray) { myArray = new int[5] {3, 1, 2}; } this will not change the array which was passed in and is a purely local change in C#. static void Change(ref int[] myArray) on the other side would change the array

AlphaZero used a few ( I think 4 TPUs) on top of the same or roughly same CPU Count, which is not that outrageous. I think the most fair comparison would be to pick a configuration for AZ and Stockfish which uses roughly the same amount of

it really depends on how much you drive and how co2 intensive the power you use is (which depends not only on your locale but also the time when you charge your car typically). However one thing in the overhead costs which is often ignored

getting even somewhat accurate values for that is a rather big problem, as you can't just take average emission values for a country as a base but rather need to look at the daily and weekly recharge distribution of different types of

totally agree, this tool seems very useful for building prototypes and instead of using grey cubes you can use something which at least has roughly the correct shape and gives you a rough idea what it should look like eventually.
