It was mostly 12-14 hours a day, with maybe 2-3 days of 19 hours. Actually, I'm feeling a little sleep deprived now, so I'll probably make it up in the next couple of days. There where other stuff I also did, like doing a lot of t

Initially, I also got confused by Actors, Scenes, etc. and did not use it. I figured it out later, but a lot of code was written already. In my code I have a lot of arrays and objects that represent the objects in the game. For example, I h

In theory, HFT should make markets more optimal. But, you know what they say: In theory there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. ;)

What's Shell? If you mean Unix/Linux shells, you should have picked a couple, or just used Bash, because many people would upvote one shell and downvote another. Csh, Bash, Zsh are completely different when it comes down to what y

I use my Android like that. No need to have radio active when I'm near a desktop or laptop computer all day. I still use HDSPA+ when I'm outside for lunch or wifi in the evening in bed, but I turn it on/off at those times. No

Since when is 80% increase "doubling"? Still, getting close to 10% of market share is really a "massive achievement". I did not expect that. I wonder what was the main reason for people to buy it. I mean, if you're

Stability depends a lot on the distribution you use. I've used various Linux distos over the last 10+ years. If you use something like Slackware, it is rock solid. I still have some 5+ year old installs that simply just work. However,

I hate doing bubble-sort manually ;) BTW, my score is 8. I read the explanation, but I still have no clue what that means? For example, which score would you need to be a graphic designer?

I amazes me how many programers are completely ignorant about daylight savings and leap seconds. OTOH, those who aren't, don't mind the low performance of looping. :(

True if your product is a success. But if you're building 10 projects and only one of then succeeds, you just spent 9 times enormous amount of time you will never get back. One could argue that rewriting the successful one from scratch

It's been something like 2 years of me saying that. I even considered starting my own github competitor just do have this single feature as a difference... but somehow I feel it wouldn't be enough for people to switch.

Nice. I would just add one comment. vmstat is very useful if you run VPS. It can be used to easily detect when your hosting provider is overselling the hardware and other users are killing the I/O (which happens to be the biggest bottl
