And that's fair enough. The larger point of having a platform without a product still exists. And I think this is still something where the idea is cooler than the current reality. Mostly because you can vaguely imagine the coolest ver

It just seems like a bit much for not enough. You are asking each player to carry around this "plinth" and however many cards would be necessary to play the game in question. Do the cards start on the plinth, then go to a common a

That is so weird. I've essentially been adjusting my saving/investing to keep my take home at about the same amount since I've reached a certain threshold. Now, I wouldn't say no to more, but I also don't feel I ne

Not just long-lived projects. Working on bespoke, internal systems means you’re never truly done. And what you’ve done a month ago may not be what’s wanted now.

I don’t think this is a good rule of thumb. Code that does what it should is rarely read. Until you need to change it. And it may not be changing due to it being incorrect. If an attendant system gets replaced, you may have to change all th

Smoking is a carcinogen. As is alcohol and processed meats and the sun and a whole host of other things. The point is that simply because the poster didn't get long Covid, that doesn't mean it's not something that people get.

Yes, and? The majority of smokers don't get lung cancer either. Just because it thankfully didn't happen to you, doesn't mean it isn't something that happens to people regularly.

Considering that long Covid was a thing even before the vaccines were released, I'd say that if any cases were "mRNA vaccine damage", the number would be vanishingly small. Because "vaccine damage" isn't real

I half like the idea. I do think that it's ok for several URLs to point to the same content. In his example all three are fine. I also tried the product code (6066) without any of the text and it worked fine as well. I've also not

It's been veering that way for years. Moderation has some huge blind spots that's allowed a corrosive element to build a core in the community. But that's the fate of all social networks. We've yet to figure out how to s

IIRC Covid is airborne so it doesn't need to travel on droplets. But feel free to double-check that one. Everything surrounding Covid is so tied to politics and identity, it's easy to get things mixed up between actual studies tha

Fair enough man. I've done hobbyist game development, independent game development, and applied to some shops myself early on. But eventually, you get a job and your path diverges, etc, etc. Like, I'm not anywhere I'd imagine

You test the floor, not the ceiling. Truth is, I'm never looking for "the best", I'm looking for "good enough to do the job competently". Because we can hem and haw over what is best for hours. And we could dis

If you are applying for game dev jobs, C memory management, the gnarly parts of Unreal engine, vector math, and ray intersection are all things you could be doing on the job. Game dev is lower paying, less structured, and more involved than

It’s a joke about how automated processes will become. And to be fair, you could have machines repairing machines. It’s basically how we operate. Some humans do the work, some fix the others

In your case, “what you expected” is implied by telling what you did. And I did say some parts may be implied, but to be explicit where it could be ambiguous.

To be fair, whether or not the cheaper version would do the same job is also not known in advance. There's also the fuzzy edges of what it means to "do the same job". All chairs ostensibly "do the same job" of provi

There's something I consider the three necessary components of a problem. You need: What you did, What you expected, and What you got. If you don't have those three, you have a complaint, not a problem. "Don't work"

Basically, you want both lanes to effectively spread out to where those in one could be placed in the other without overlapping vehicles. The goal is to have both lanes move slowly, but constantly. To basically have a "1 and 1" pr

I think the line between "luxury" and "proper" is the debatable point. And yes, no doubt some people use that as an excuse to over spend. But that doesn't mean people don't take it to the extreme in the other d

High level concept: Xlsx or xls? If it’s xlsx, stream the file, chunking 500 rows into each new file, watching for ref A1, then injecting that into previous files. The xlsx format is a zip file of xml, not so bad to work with once you start

You know the bull isn't the hero in the china shop analogy, right? Moving fast and breaking things itself isn't something to be praised. If you have to lie to promote a course of action you believe will lead to better outcomes, ma

Ravens are crows, crows are ravens. They exist in the same taxonomic area as frog/toad, bush/tree, etc. The difference between crows and ravens are who found it first

Weirdly, I'd say exceptional skill/talent winds up fostering empathy rather than hindering it. When you have exceptional talent, you quickly learn not everyone is like you and that you need to understand their perspectives. Wherea

The problem is everything is an arms race. You want little Johnny to do well. To get in good schools, to get a good job, to get all the good things you may not have had. And at first, you just had to meet some qualifications, and that was g
