I didn't really get that impression that the author was seeking to do that, to be honest. I think he was interested in the context developing the codec and how that influences the media that can be produced/expressed.

I feel like GitHub made a lot of hacking around and software development a lot more seamless too. Before GitHub, the average state of software development seemed a bit more clunky to me.

Given the number of comfortably-masculine gay men I've known, I have a feeling the womb isn't necessarily trying to ensure it eventually creates a Disney Princess. It feels a bit far-fetched, to be honest.

I feel like the culture seems to be the big variable there than the preferences, to be honest. Or, people are going to express what they like based on their environment and how they perceive it will respond.

People are entertained a little more and I'm not spending programmer hours on something like a robocall.

I feel like what exactly she looked like wasn't the takeaway from the discussion for me, to be honest.

I’d be fine with that and then plant-based pub burgers for the rest.

I don’t think anything feature-wise is missing on the runtime side, but Flash’s keyframe/editor setup just let people make the most amazing things.

I write C++ for a living, and one thing I've kind of noticed a similar thing to what you've mentioned. "very generic" template code often is best left to a name such as T, but a very specialized piece of metaprogramming

Neither have to be that big. If something's going to be so big and pervasive into people's lives though, then I'd rather be able to have a democratic say in a government than the Shinra Electric Power Company.

Yeah, I feel like they should have looked how Microsoft more or less lucked out with Bungie producing a killer app for them. [1] Successfully creating a game service requires content, content, and more content. That said, there's still

I think a lot about Treasure, a quirky game developer that tended to make a bunch of strange games in the past. I think their studio director and founder, Masato Maegawa, understood the value in being more hands-off in a leadership role. [1

The Xbox Adaptive controllers are a remarkable device as far as OEM gamepads go. Every input can be specialized and hotswapped with switches connected via headphone jacks. Existing DirectInput USB controllers can also be plugged in to the d

How about make marriage harder to get and divorce easy? That way people don’t get married without earnestly wanting it and don’t get trapped in agonizing mistakes.

Interesting then how Romero/Carmack got so much of their start making Apple II shareware games before transitioning to DOS. The hardware really seems to have helped that enable that initial environment for them to grow.

I mean, in a locker-room context, yeah, for sure, the externalities might be limited. At the same time, the comparison made there strikes as one oozing with value judgements. To be frank, I feel like the sentiments behind said value judgeme

I think even if words like that aren't used to intentionally bully or harm someone, it certainly sets the tone of an environment. We all have to make the choice as individuals about what tone we want our words and actions to bring to t

My day job uses clang-format for a larger C++ codebase. Our tech leads were for it to "automate" discussions on code style. Before it was integrated, it wasn't uncommon to have code style be a larger part of a code review.

I mean, like, Facebook was fun back when bringing a digital camera to high school made you a big deal online in 2007. Today though, Zuck has access to an archive of me with the worst haircuts I’ll ever have had in my life.

The first Ace Attorney game must have been incredible value for Capcom's investment. The spartan, comic-like sprites and straightforward visual novel gameplay likely fit into a smaller ROM size. Given the charming narrative, I bet they

I've never usually been able to tell if a relationship was salvageable or not, from both being in one and observing someone else's. It's almost always come down to some "to be, or not to be" moment where someone has

I think games will have their protagonist be some cocktail of “this character is me” and “this character is not me but controlled by me”. I think a competent game will usually to try pick a mix that’s in best-service of the experience. Gord

I've noticed that happening a lot in my time in the games industry as well. The person making top-down design role isn't exposed to the friction that their decisions are making down the hierarchy. I think the worst part is that th

The thread there is really interesting. Apparently the "OEM" IMEs aren't the ideal standard for Chinese input, so people tend to use a proprietary one like Sogou's. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#
