There are plenty of details in the OP that will be missed. Those who will fail will gloss over those details, will think that some of the advice doesn't apply to them, or is "only for bigger companies". I work with people lik

Interesting how every post ever made on your account is to spam that link, which also happens to be the first time I had ever heard of it.

Nothing could be further from the truth, and I would even say your opinion can come across as offensive, and easily said by someone who spends a lot of time on HN instead of building things. A poorly-engineered system has a longer iteration

I would say so. Most AGI work so far has been pursued by academics with a lack of software engineering best practices. Codebases get bloated and hard to understand. Ramp-up time measured in years. This hinders experimentation, which you ha

You’d be best off looking to join a company that is seed stage or series A. During growth phase is when companies are looking for specialized skills. What are you using for job sources? Keep in mind though that startups generally frown upon

The replays can possibly malfunction if you speed the playback up faster than 1x. Not sure about the technical reasons, but the devs never fixed it. Many players still don’t know about the workaround to use 1x though.

by celdon25 4y ago
At least with the current version, there is a workaround for that, which works for at least any non-EUD map: Watch the replay without speeding the playback up beyond 1x. I usually don’t bother since I don’t care about the whole replay and

We're already living in a post-truth world with broken incentives. Something like this will, at worst, add a transparency layer to it.

There are plenty of good developers who haven’t had the time to become masters at multiple operating systems yet. In this economy, it’s better to stick with what you know well.
